CDAC PROGRESSIVE FREEBIE CHALLENGES

Here are the cards I made for this round:


The first card I made I used the awesome turkey image by  Sew Many Cards

and a close-up:

That turkey is just too cute!!

I used Kraft cardstock for the base...the patterned paper is from DCWV...I colored the turkey image with copics...the little things that look like dew drops...I made using a hot glue gun...and then colored them with Copics...I tried coloring them by putting them in a little baggie and then adding alcohol ink refills...but the colors weren't very vibrant...so I colored the backs using Copics....I added glossy accents to the hat and boots...the buckle on the hat was cut out of "metal" paper and then attached to a little piece of ribbon...I also added glossy accents to the pie pan...I wrapped some baker's twine around the card and tied a bow on the left side...

Here is the second card I made:

and a close-up:

This image is from Digis by Phooka  and also too cute!!

I was only going to add glitter to the hat...but I just couldn't resist glittering the whole thing!!...and I just love those googly eyes...all of the glitter except for the white on the hat is from Martha Stewart...the patterned paper and ribbon are from a CardMaker's kit...I had so much fun making this card, I might have to print the image again and see what else I can do with it!!

That's it for today!...I have a couple more calendars that I need to finish!

Have a great night!!

and here are a couple of the inner pages:

I have a big tin full of old buttons...and I hoard them...LOL!!...don't tell anyone!!...I did use some on this calendar!!...I really like the flower button in the above photo!!...I think that the cardstock used on this calendar are from DCWV...I used one of the new Nellie Snellen dies for the base...I made the calendar using Microsoft excel...I laid one calendar out...got everything like I wanted...and then copied and pasted several times in the same document...now all I have to do is open the file...select the font I want to use on each calendar and then send to printer!...Easy...Peasy!!

and the second one I have to share:

and a couple of inner pages:

The base of this calendar is Bazzill...the pattern paper is from the Paper Studio...the edges were inked with Copics...I used Nesties to cut the shape...The flowers are Prima...I colored the blue, green and purple ones to match the calendar...the brads and ribbons are from my stash...I used stickles on the brads...and a glitter pen on the flowers to add a little sparkle!!

That's it for today!!...Have a great night!!

Here is a card I made with the Digi from  Stamp n Doodle  ...Isn't she adorable!!....

I had fun coloring this one!!...I love the expression on her face...Kind of makes me think she is trying to get on the teachers good side right away!!....

The card base is Bazzill...the solid purple panel is Bazzill Bling...and the pattern  paper is from a DCWV 12 X 12 paper pad...I used a Martha Stewart punch on the purple panel and used scissors to distress the edges...I used Versa Magic Niagara Mist on the edges of both the purple and pattern papers... 

I colored the digi with Copics and cut her out...I used the black Copic to go around the edges...so there wasn't any white showing...Glossy Accents was used on the apple and her shoes...I used two little white pearls in her hair!!

I got the chalkboard at a garage sale last year...I found a lot of crafty goodness that day!!...I colored the edges with a Copic and wrote ABC 123 with chalk...I attached it to the card with score tape...the sentiment at the top of the card is from Basic Grey...the fiber and bling are from my stash!!

You should check the challenge out...the digi's are wonderful...and free...IF you follow the rules of the challenge!!

That's it for now!!...Hope everyone is have a great holiday weekend!!

Another Christmas Card

Here is the second card I made. I like this one much better than the first one I posted. Again I used things that I have had for quite some time. I used another DCWV card base, Bazzil card stock that I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder on. The PP is scraps from the first card I made. The holly leaf came with some other embellies in a pack of like three different one, but I don't remember the manufacturer. I used a Marvi corner punch and then wrapped metallic silver embroidery floss around the edges. I used some bling and some ribbon from my stash.

For the inside I used more scraps and some silver letter stickers from my stash. I like these letter stickers much better than the ones I used on the first card!

I got three and a half cards done today. I need to take pictures of them. Two of them turned out so cute! The PP I used was just too cute! I will have to upload them soon! I haven't counted how many cards I have done or how many I need to get done, so I guess I don't feel too pressured to get them done {even thought Christmas is coming very soon!}

That's it for tonight. Have a great night!

Christmas Card

I finally took pictures of the cards that I have finished. I pulled out all of my Christmas papers, embellies, etc. and I said I wasn't going to buy any more Christmas themed anything until I used up all of the old stuff. I have had some of these supplies for a couple of years, when I first started making cards, and didn't really care for some of the embellies and stickers. I tried to jazz up the things I didn't like to make them work.

Here is the first Christmas card I made for 2009.

The base of the card is from the DCWV box of cards. The PP is from Joann's open stock, I think that is DCWV also, but not positive. The Christmas tree is from a card kit from two or three years ago, not sure of the brand. I wrapped gold embroidery floss around the tree for garland and then used some bling for ornaments and the star on the top of the tree. I used the nestie Label to pop the tree up. I used some MS glitter around the edge of the Label. The ribbon is from my stash also, not sure of the brand. I also used a corner rounder to round two of the corners.

and the inside of the card.

I used scraps from the front of the card for the inside. Now that I am looking at these letters on the computer, I am so not liking them. I will have to change them before sending this card out!

I need to go and get some more cards made!

Have a great day!
