Last Week!

So I forgot! lol I guess my last file is better last than never and technically it's still July!!! haha

Another year's over another July. Soon I will be complaining about the snow and how I hate it. For now I will just keep wearing oranges and yellows making my little tan look better. :)

Thanks for sharing my July with me. I have another file coming up that has to do with Summer and another file I am working on all by my self. I mean no tracing. Well there's some, but it's all my original idea. I know you will love it!!!!!

Enjoy the rest of your July. All 14.5 hours left of it.

Week 4

Morning all!

Hope your July is treating you well. This Summer is sooooo much better than last. We are warm this year though we are getting more storms than normal. Sever weather is happening almost every week. There has been 3 tornado's very close to my house. I mean 10 minutes away these cities are. Tonight through Saturday we are scheduled to get more bad weather.

This weeks free file is Snowy the Snowflake. He is very cute but DON"T pick my colors of paper. Im not happy with the flake it's self. I should have made him white with the dark blue background like I have. There's nothing I can do now. The glue has stuck! lol

I hope your enjoying Christmas in July. If you have any ideas for December, let me know.

Hugs, Lisa

Week 3

What about an ornament? Adding a couple of snowflakes and don't forget the sediment and you have yourself a card. Not sure if you can tell by the picture but I glued the ornament normally with my liquid glue. Then I put two layers of foam tap under the snowflakes. To top it all off, I added little tiny rhinestones on the snowflakes and of course Merry Christmas which are stickers.

Just to let you know Funtime software only liked one of the three snowflakes. So instead of having three different ones, you only have one. :( If you have some snowflakes, of your own, you may place them in there instead of mine!

Have a good week!

Santa Stamp

How are we all doing today? It's hotter than heck here and the humidity/dew point is killing us. It has been getting to 90 degrees before noon! I guess it is time to think of Christmas to cool us down. lol

I made this stamp into a card and I use foam tape to raise it up. I also used some "shimmer" paper because the red stamp is kinda bland. Then used scrap green paper, with design, behind the stamp and shimmer. I though it needed so design because the other colors were solid. I plan to use the reindeer for another card...hey why not! :)

So happy week two and I'll see you next week!

Merry Christmas in July!!!!!!

For my followers you know I get crazy around this time. I love Christmas!! Soon I will be creating my Christmas cards for the 3 shows I have lined up so far. I can start adding them for you to get ideas for your cards. Every file I created this year, I am making a card out of. I hope they sell.

This is week one. Again, same as last year, I thought there was only 4 weeks, typical month, but I found out there were 5. So now I have to make another file when I thought I was done. lol Just my luck!

I found this clip art when a friend asked me to make Christmas lights. I thought this was different. Kinda old fashioned or Thomas Edison looking. Maybe you might have some "old time" paper that you could add.

I used my typical 5"x6.5" pre-made cards. I needed something to look like a cord. I found some ribbon which is black. I can't find the size but it's that small stuff that comes in a spool for about .33 cents on sale. I didn't have a dark green but that might look better. Here in America, the cords are green. I used the small, brass, one to keep the ribbon in place and two it just kinda looks neat. lol

One thing I need to warn you is they cut funny! Two or three would cut good out of five. So be careful and cut several. :)

Merry Christmas in July to all my friends!!!!
Hugs, Lisa

P.S. Sit back and listen to the music. I went a little "silly" this time! lol

Same Dog....New Idea

I have a craft table that is a mess. I am trying to create cards with the things left on my desk. I came across this dog and I have maybe 8 more of him. So I decided to play with him and this is what I did.

I glued the dog pieces and flipped him over. Then cut a 1/2" green strip as long as your card. I have these sliders from JoAnn Fabric's that are made of thick card stock that you see I used. Glue it to the dog.




Here the dog is flipped so you can see what he looks like. Make sure he slides before you glue it to your card.



Now I like the liquid glue but I dont think it will hold the green strip. So I do have double sided tape for special occasions. As you can see he is now on the card. This card is 5" high by 6.5" wide. They are pre-made, from Michael's, in a pack with envelops.



This is the final piece. I cut a 1 1/2" piece of different color green paper/strip. Cut slits in it so it looks like grass and bend, not crease, the grass so it looks ruffled. Since he is looking up, add anything you want to the sky. I used a sun rubber stamp and I used my Surka, clear, Stardust Gelly Roll to give the sun a sparkle. Then I rubber stamped, on a spare piece of paper, the bee and I colored it. Then I and attached it with 2 layers of foam tape to give depth.





I am attaching the original file from May 8th, 2009. There is text that says I Love You which you can use or not.

Hope you enjoy it!

Class of........

Do you know some one who is graduating? Do you make cards like I do and sell them? Then your going to need my Class of 2010.

These words are welded together but the 2010 is separated so you can use the text on other years.

In the picture, I cut the text with black paper and I colored it with my silver Sharpie. The "celebrate" part was done with my Cuttle Bug and sanded down so you can see the text.

Have a wonderful 'time Graduates....
