Some cards to share...

Good afternoon and TGIF! Today I have a few cards to share: two of them I actually submitted for publication. Obviously they weren't picked. I haz a sad. (See Lindsey, I TOLD you I was gonna use that phrase at some point! LOL!) The last I made just for fun. Check it:

...and the inside:

I had this sentiment in my mind to pair with that image ever since I saw the movie Twilight. Finally did something about it! I printed the sentiment from the computer onto some DP, die cut the scalloped circle off the edge and adhered with foam squares. I then stamped, colored and fussy cut the image also adhering with foam squares. Added a few enamel dots. (Disclaimer: The enamel dots were in no way meant to be thought of as blood drops, just pretty embellies! LOL!)  I just now thought of that while typing this post! Duh! (facepalm) Anyway, here's the second card:

Yep, punch line on the inside of the card! HA!

I really suck at making my own card designs. That's why I use sketches. A lot. But I love my inside sentiment, again printed from my computer. (My brother-in-law should be receiving this card in the mail today! LOL!) I die cut the dino, stamped and colored him, added Glossy Accents to his eye and adhered with foam squared on top of two Bam Bubble dies.

Ok, last one:

...and the inside:

This card came together probably within 10 minutes. (I know. It freaked me out too. Usually, it's like 2 hours minimum for me to make a card.) What made it so quick was that I already had the card base and the wine glasses cut. They were just sitting on my desk waiting to be used. Found that scrap of teal card stock, trimmed and adhered, then the glasses were added with foam squares. Rounded one corner, stamped the sentiment, finished the inside and done!

Thanks for staying until the end of my long winded post! It's still raining here in my neck of the woods. Still.  I'm seriously thinking I may have to get crafty in another way and start building an ark if this rain doesn't move off the coast soon. ☺

Hope your weekend is a crafty one! Tootles!
