Here are my latest card creations. I kinda took a break for a while...got a little overdone with crafts after the holidays so I needed to take a break and go do something else...like hmmmm maybe some housework or cooking so that my son and DH did not get upset and starve.

I went to take pictures of my hard work and could not figure out why they were so blurry. So I started looking around the camera and saw fingerprints. I forgot that the last person to use my camera was my son...and he got fingerprints all over it. So I cleaned them off and Viola! my pictures came out normal, LOL

Enough of them...back to what I am here for. The first card is a Valentines day card for my mother in law. I know it seems like I send her a lot, but she is a widow, lives alone and none of her children live close by. Just thought I would let her know she has family that cares about her. I also crochet her scarf with Steelers colors. We are a Steelers family and we are beyond excited that we are about to win our 7th superbowl title.


I modpodged crinkled up wax paper onto this card, then put a coat of modpodge on top of the wax paper and embossed it using my cuttlebug, rubbed over the embossing and then took some sandpaper to it to give it the worn look. I glued and stamped the hearts which I used my slice to cut with.

The second is a baby shower gift for the music pastor and his wife at my church. This will be their 3rd child and they are having a difficult last few weeks of this pregnancy. I thought a last min baby gift with a really cute card would make a bright spot in this point of the pregnancy.

The last is a birthday card. My niece turned 12. For both this card and the baby shower card I used my new Irock tool. Michaels coupons go far if you use them wisely. That is how I got the jewels to stay on the card. Of course I used stamps and chalk to color the graphics on the front and then embossed the birthday card using the cuttlebug. If you want to know the exact names of the products, colors and parts I used, drop me a line and I will be more than happy to let you know. I may also post them on Splitcoaststampers tomorrow, depends on how I feel. It is supposed to be 70 and I need to vacuum out my car.
