Masculine ATC Card

Happy Weekend Bloggers!

Here's my ATC (Artist Trading Card) for the Steampunk topic.  Most of the supplies used are by Tim Holtz.  I decided to use grays and blacks on this particular ATC.  Oh, and a silver gear, pen nib and metal embellishment.  I just spoke with someone the other day who'd never heard of Steampunk.  I thought everyone had heard of it.  I think it's still pretty popular, as I still see lots of it around.   :o)

Thanks for stopping by to visit.  Until next time.....

An Anniversary Tuxedo Card

Happy Weekend Friends!

Today's post is a card I made for hubby for an anniversary.  I used black linen card stock for the jacket, and white card stock for the shirt.  I don't make many cards with just 2 colors of paper.  Red ribbon for the cummerbund, and a tiny red rose in the lapel.  Black ribbon tied for the bow tie.  Lastly, added a black button on the jacket.

Here's a pic of the inside of the card....I covered up my message with a piece of white paper and held it in place with a red heart sticker.  I didn't think you'd want to read the gooey note!  lol

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!  Until next time.....

June ATC for Stamp Club -- Topic: Fabric

Happy Weekend!

Today's post is one that was a little bit of challenge.  Our stamp club members suggest topics for the year, throw them into a hat (so to speak), and Ms. Marcie picks 12 topics.  The topic for the June ATC (artist trading card - for those of you who aren't familiar with the term ATC), was "fabric."  Yeowza!   ATC's are little pieces of art measuring 2.5" x 3.5"   

Fabric definitely put my old brain to the test.  But, as luck would have it....and I was indeed lucky, I found a box that happened to have fabric in it with all kinds of bottles of hot sauce printed on the fabric.  There were several patterns, this just happens to be the one hubby took a picture of, so I'm posting it.  Don't you just love that gold tooth?  lol

I stamped the background with the stamp that says "Got Chile?", then distressed the edges.  Cut out the individual bottle of hot sauce and glued it down.  This bottle was too big for the ATC card, so needed to trim the cap off.  Then I stamped the Chili Ristra by Stamp A Mania Rubber Stamp Co., on red card stock, added the tiny natural twine bow to the top, then finished it off by adding some glitter to the chili peppers.  

The bottom of the pic looks really dark because the ATC is sitting on a flower frog.  Didn't have time to crop it.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day!  Until next time....

Supplies:

Printed hot sauce fabric

Ranger Vintage Photo distress ink

Chili Ristra stamp by Stamp a Mania (SAM) -www.stampamania.com

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Happy Independence Day Friends!


Today I'm sharing a card that was taught by Susan Knapp.  

I didn't finish my card until later, and when I put it together I added the stars, and backed the Statue of Liberty with black card stock.  Then I decided to add another patterned paper for the background.  I'll tell you what I used.  I found this grey patterned paper in one of my paper stashes.  It's the inside of an envelope from Lovelace Healthcare.  Works for me.  ;o)   I wanted something grey, and there it was.  Added the "celebrate" die cut and all done.

Wishing you and yours a safe and fun 4th of July!

Hugs, Geri

You Make Me Happy

Hi Friends,


A really quick post today.  This was a card made in a Stampin Up workshop this year.  A nice card to send to that special someone to let them know they make you HAPPY!  

Love the "happy" die cut.  It was a quick and easy card....just the kind you need when you're in a hurry, which anymore, is every day around my house.  :o)

Happy colors too......thanks for stopping by today.  

                           Until next time.....

I'm Seeing Green Today!

Hi Friends!

It's a green day at Piper's Paper Wings.  I bought the prince card stock embellishment at Scraps Galore store a long long time ago.    While going through some of my mountains of paper stashes, I came across the prince, so decided to put a card together for hubby.  The nice thing about hubby, is he doesn't mind if I put a little bling (big ole green emerald colored gemstone) on his card.  What a guy!  :o)

The second card today is another version of the butterflies I did in green.  I must be in a green mood these days.  :o)

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I'll be back later.....until next time.....

Five Butterflies

Hi Friends!

Today's post is a card using a Memory Box die.  I used the die on black card stock, and used some scrapbook paper from my stash in the background.  Layered it onto pink card stock and added different colored gemstones in the middle of the butterflies.  

The second pic is one that hubby took of an enormous thunderhead that was building Monday night.  It was awesome.  :o)

Remember you can click on any of the photos for a closer look.

Thunderhead brewing over the Sangre de Cristo mountains in Santa Fe.  Click on this one...you'll see what I'm talking about.  Awesome!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Until next time.....
