Two cards from Latest gallery of my cards

Another few hours in my craft room has been quite enjoyable .
 Not creating but recording via photos . Before sharing some of my recent makes  I must welcome you all to my room , where I hope that you like what you see .

If you have the time I would really appreciate some encouraging comments which will certainly enthuse my creativity and inspire me to stay on line .As indicated in the previous post I am seriously considering not rejoining facebook . So that my only contact with my crafty pals and like minded visitors will be here on my blog .Having said that I will add also that I will read every comment and visit the blog/site of the writer .

Here are two cards suitable for the male in your life .
The one  with the chess pieces I began with a card base of Basic Black card stock .         
               The background paper is from SU Country Club Designer Series Paper
                On a square of  SU
 Very  Vanilla I stamped an image from the SU set Game ON.
                I then stamped the same image onto scrap Very Vanilla and fussy cut two individual
                 pieces which were added to bottom of card with foam dots .Ink used was Brocade Blue.
               The sentiment under image is from the same set and is inked with SU Cajun Craze
Finished piece was adhered to a Basic Black square leaving a small border .

               SU card stock Chocolate Chip   was used as card base with second card
                A rectangle piece of same card used for an embossed panel over some paper from my                            Kraftyhand scraps
               The image is from a find in Pinterest , while the sentiment is from SU set
                   Itty Bitty Birthdays . The embossing folder is SU Basket Weave Dynamics.

                       

 And this is the inside of first card

 

Thank you for calling in It has been a pleasure to welcome you .I hope that you are all staying safe and well .

Weather forecast for tonight: dark.

On your special day

                    Hi there crafty pals , welcome to my room .
                         Thank you for calling in .

I have been making a kit ,today, for the new year workshops . My friends are avid experienced card makers so it is not as though I am actually teaching anything .Instead I  create  kits for them to make up while we chat , compare new purchases and   share news  about our lives  generally.


 

 

Among my card stash I found lots of SU  note cards which I mostly use as thank you cards but because I do have a lot , I am making a few small cards as birthday cards . 

With this one I have used 6''x6'' DSP from the Brights pack and covered the front

Then I added a panel   of lighter blue card with a smaller white panel for image and sentiment . 

Both the image and the sentiments are from retired SU  sets . 

Water coloured the image  using SU inks 

Just added a few candy dots for interest .

There was a good sized piece of the paper left so I used it for the inside of card with a die cut label for greeting . 

I do hope that you enjoyed my share today . I do appreciate comments if you would care to leave   one I will return the visit .

Make New Year's goals. Dig within, and discover what you would like to have happen in your life this year. This helps you do your part. It is an affirmation that you're interested in fully living life in the year to come.

                     Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne .            

Restart your engines

Hello and welcome to my blog and thank you for actually calling in .Please do let me know that you have been by leaving kind comment and I will surely visit your craft place too .

I am a bit out of practice with this blogging bit as life just got too busy and my mojo left me .I have been card making though , just not sharing except with my craft buddies Sandy and Jane at our get together s . Then  because  I began to miss blog browsing and  commenting, I plan to restart my posting and visiting. I may be at your cyber  place soon  .

To share with you today I have a creation that began with a Cajun Craze  square card base with a layer of Classic garage 6''x6'' DSP .

For the  die cut images , tools and car I used   Garage Gears dies that were bundled with the
SU  stamp set , Geared Up Garage and I coloured with copics .
The dies used for the labels for the   sentiment from the same stamp set , are Stitched Nested Labels Dies from SU .

I have a few masculine cards needed soon so this one will come in handy .

Got to my craft room late tonight so no time for cyber roaming so will catch up with that tomorrow .
Looking forward to checking out what has been going on and what treasured mini works of art have been created in my absence ..

Hello to you crafty pals .Very happy to see you and thank you for calling in

What joy! Spring is almost here . Now don't get me wrong,  I do appreciate the changes of seasons but this year especially I was so over Winter earlier than usual . Realistically I think it's  because of my heart recovery medication . Well ..it's certainly not because I am a little older is it?

Today I am sharing a card made for a male relative .I hope he " gets" the play on words and likes the card .

    Pacific Point, SU,  card base . Tranquil Tide , SU, matte  and  DSP , SU , Whole lot of Lovely .
          Image and sentiment from Tim Holtz collection
          Banner from a freebie set with a magazine .
          Circle  Dies used for frame for image and a speech bubble die for sentiment .
           Dot embossing folder ,SU on Whisper White , SU , behind image .
           Star embellishments on banner from SU.
           Coloured with aqua pen and SU ink pads

 

Will enter these challenges

You're The Best

Hello once again .Love the visits I am getting but would love some comments too .

It is so cold here again today and the best place to be is in my craft room , where I am making up some more kits for Tuesday craft morning .

My give away card has been allotted . Thank you to those who commented on that post .

Today' s share is a card for a male . Not quite as I had imagined but ok , I guess .

    Shirt is die  from MFT as is the stamped   #1
    Scallop punch SU in Pacific Point card , SU for sentiment
    Paper from my stash .
             The sentiment is from a freebie in a magazine .
             Punch for star from SU
             Wink of Stella used .


           

I made the shirt two toned by die  cutting two from white and black card , then cutting sleeves and bands  from white card and adhering over the black one . 

Do you think that it worked ?

I kept the inside plain with just white card rectangle layered onto Black card leaving small border . 

Thanks again for calling in . Hope you like the card .
