I've been working on more cards again. These are going out to a few of my family members and the rest will go to a charity that helps out families with children who are facing a health crisis or families who have children with disabilities. These latest designs were inspired by a family member and a friend. This first card is the "Georgia". I used a stampin' up stamp from the set Pocket fun. It is the jean pocket stamp. The decorative papers are from Micheal's. White cardstock is from Walmart. I get 250 sheets for less than $6 there and the quality is good so my white cardstock is always from there. The metal buckle's are ones I ordered a year or so ago online - I'd give them credit too but can't remember where I got them.
This card has added bling to it. I used up my chipboard that was leftover from making Christmas cards. I wish the picture was better. I think maybe I should not have used my flash. The cards looks a lot better in person.
This card I used a different punch on for the edge. It is a Martha Stewart all around punch - double loop is it's name I think. Once again I am using up some "leftovers". The flower on the pocket is a cardstock sticker that came in a set I used for St.Patricks day cards. The little tag on the jean pocket says *smile. The picture's just didn't turn out as good as I had hoped. I did use a different technique to get the worn jean look on the blue pocket as well as the background. I took a cheap foam paint brush and tapped in onto my dark blue ink pad then brushed vertically then horizontally to get a brushed denim look. It worked out fantastic and completely altered the look of the carstock.
I tried a different layout for this card but it turned out to be my least favorite. I like the card but I think the others are more appealing to the eye.
This last design is the "Paula". It is by far my favorite of them all. I'm really not a pink girl but this is one cute card. I can't help but smile when I see this one !
