Rainbow Production...

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!

How was your weekend? Mine was good...

Still lots to do around here, so crafting was not on the list...

I did make some projects the week before, so at least

I'm ahead of the game! 😀

I also have last weeks holiday card to share with you -

I just haven't had time to take a picture...

With school ending in 2 1/2 weeks - YES I'm still counting down!

I've got lots going on - I just wish they would spread out

some of these events for school instead of waiting til

the last few weeks to get them all crammed in there!

It is what it is I guess!! LOL

Today, I wanted to share a MASS PRODUCTION

of cards I did a week or so ago... These were the

 cards I made for the winners of my Birthday week

blog candy - 😊

Well... technically it started with this Birthday card - 

I was making it for school, when I realized... HELLO!!! You can

totally mass produce this card and make Thank You's for the winners...

And, so I did! 😉 I used the Misti to create all of them - without

it, I probably wouldn't have tried to do it... And a

simple Stamp set I found at my local $1 store! YUP!

My local Dollar Tree actually had some stamps hanging up

and I couldn't just leave them there.. right? - I'm so glad I bought them

because for $1... it was totally worth it to make these cards -

These are the other pretty cards I made for the winners -

Each one is in a different color combo set - but all made with the same 

stamp set - Oh... and they ALL SHIMMER Too!!! 😍

Here they all are in their glory! hahaha

Everything was stamped on white CS, using Versamark ink -

I then added some Super Fine White Embossing powder & heat

set them - after I heat set them I used distress inks & some blending

tools to color over the area - Put them through my Big Shot with

a Stitched Card Mat Die - Then Sprayed them with

some shimmer spritz - letting them dry

While they dried, I cut out the word dies (3 x's) each word

and attached the word layers, so they could stand out on the card

Then I created sentiments in my Silhouette Program, making them

match the color of their cards &

spacing them out, so they could be die cut out 

After attaching everything to black CS - I thought they all

needed a little BLING! So I added tiny Clear gems & 

matching colored gems - 

It took me 2 days to make these - because I had to

stop several times due to everyday life stuff! 😊

Otherwise, it probably could have been done in one evening!

I thought I would make something for him!

I made him a Card & Treat box! -- 

He recently decided that he wants to play the guitar... 

So I thought this was cool & fitting for him! 

I totally LOVE how cool my card came out! I started off

by deciding what type of paper I was going to use - I chose to use 

some Digital Paper from Meredith Cardall - the collection

is called (JohnnyB Goode) Which can be found at

Snap Click Supply - I designed my card in my Silhouette Program

Picking and Choosing what elements I wanted to add -

After designing it - I printed out all the pieces and 

used my Cameo to cut each image out -

This is what the inside of my card looks like - 

I try to incorporate some of the outside

elements into the inside - just to complete the look!

The treat box is a Die I got off of Ebay - 
I die cut it 2x's and adhered the 
2 pieces together - Super Simple!

I then added some Digital DP from the same collection
as the card to dress it up!
I have a gift card and some yummy candies
inside just for him! 😄

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!

How was your weekend??? Mine?

Busy of course! 😋 Trying to get lots of things done

in a short time, just boggles my mind sometimes! 😕

I didn't have much computer time either -

So... I thought since I didn't get time

to post my Weekly Holiday card - Now would be 

a good time to do it! 😃

I designed this in my Silhouette Program... I used another

by: Meredith Cardall - This set & many others can be

of Digital Collections from great companies like ---

Echo Park, Bo Bunny, Basic Grey, Etc...

I like shopping for my papers their, because I get some

of the latest collections right away and they're mine

forever - 😄

When I buy a paper pack at the store I tend

to hoard it longer, because I won't be able to get that

paper again... So... this is my alternative! hahahaha

I still buy paper - But it doesn't look like I have as much

because it's stored on my computer! bawwahahahaha

Hubby can't see it! tehehehe 😂

Any who... I added Sheer Shimmer Frost Spray on my card

and it really Sparkles in real life... 💖💖 that Shimmer Spray!

The word die (Joy) was cut out 3'xs & layered 

so it can stand out on the card -

I used another die to make the little stars & circles --

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!

I hope your week is going well....

Mine has been busy, busy! 

With school ending in just a few short weeks (YAY)

I do have an Elegant card to share with you today..

I was watching a Jennifer McGuire video about a 

week or two ago and watched her use some

Perfect Pearls on some cards... I've actually NEVER

used the stuff before... I know your all thinking WHAT???

What's wrong with you Theresa?? hahaha It's all good...

Sooo... I actually went out & purchased a small pack from

Joann's to try this technique out...

So, this card is inspired by Jennifer McGuire --

I got a brand new stamp set off of Ebay for like $2 and

it had these pretty 3 step stamping flowers & leaves... So I

thought, this is the perfect set to test it out on... And WOW!

I sooo LOVE the way this card looks.... it really shimmers

in real life! It did take me like 2 tries at first, because it

was human error! But then I got with the program and

BAM made this pretty card! LOL
