Raq’s Sketch 2 -24

 



Well there has been a rash of twin babies born and the second sketch seemed so appropriate for this card!!! I used New Arrival . I used my cuddlebug to do a little embossing and ink and doodled and lots of pop dots!!! I can't imagine having twins myself and think parents of twins need to be very special parents to handle two at the same time don't you!!! Thanks for looking!!!

 

Raq's sketch 1 weekly Challange 2-24

I have been totally enjoying the sketches you all have put up for the weekly challenges'

I used A Childs Years for this sketch and Uti'd up a flower I had inked and viola` A Mother's Day card !!!


 










Mother and child was cut at 3 inches (shadow and regular pop dotted of course!!)

My flower is a silk flower I had that i embossed with heavy embossing power with glitter in it and a little pearl brad and cut flower in center.  If you look closely i used three pearls on right 
corner.  I turned to the computer for the sentiment to get the right font for my card.

Raq's challange sketch 1

Well I made this more of a challenge for myself by using uti on my prima flowers on this card for the first time!!  I think it turned out pretty good and I followed along with the sketch.

 

Makin Sweet Music

This card has been floating around in my mind for some time!!!  I wanted the musical notes but couldn't remember which cart they were on, when in a post someone mentioned using JOTS.  I am tyring to build up my stash of cards!!!  I used the little birdie couple from Sweethearts cart cut at 3 inches and layered and popped many times.  I the sentiment is computer generated!!!  and the frame is also from sweethearts (the license plate).  Let me know what you think I so like reading your comments!!!!

This is the inside of the card (sticking to that NewYears Resolution).

Scraplifted Sympathy Card

I like many others see some pretty fabulous cards that others have made. I saw a version of this on the Cricut Message boards that said that they had scraplifted it also!!!  My sons coworker suffered a terrible loss this week and thought this card was something that I had to make!!  Thanks to Joy Sikes who found a cut.file I could download to make the card base the rest was pretty easy using things I had in my ever ending stash!!

Wildcard Branch Card

Well You Tube is such a source of inspiration and information for me!!!  I find Creations with Cristine Wild Card Series so jammed pack and sure makes my life easier when I get in the mood to try out some of these different cuts on theWild Card Cartridge !

 Below is a link to all the wonderful videos you can watch and get inspired by:

The above cards can be found on Page 57 in the Wild Card Manual!!  It is done like a tri-fold card!!  I cut this at 8 inches and had to do some trimming in order to get it to fit in the envelope that would only cut at 7 inches on my expression.  (lesson learned if I wanted to make the envelope that is included with the card).

I also did some inking and used my computer for the sentiment inside!!!  The butterflies are layered and puff painted and stickled!  Cut a little slit and inserted ribbon for a little extra pazzazz!!!  I had fun!

Triple Cone Birthday

I soooooooooo scraplifted this from U Tube Video!!!  I thought it was adorable!!!  What a great idea to use the score pal for the cone look and the Happy Birthday embossing folder from Cuddlebug.  I used a little dollar stamp and the chocolate and i just swirled a little stickles on the vanilla!!  This is cut a 8" from the You can always use a Birthday Card in your stash!!!!  I decided to check out the stash of cards that are in the SWEET TREATS cartridge. (and there are a bunch)  Watching the utube videos online gave me a little nudge.  I even tried my hand at center point to get the inside of the card done(once again new years resolution).  this was cut at 6 inches and it fits a A6 envelope!!!!  I am pretty pleased with how this turned out and as always leave some comments everyone like to know what people think of their work!! Sweet Treat Cartridge pg 35.  It fits a 4x91/4 inch envelope.  I used some rub-ons' i had for the sentiments.  I loved following along and adding a little of my own touch to this video.
