Birthday card for a Friend

A friend will be having his birthday tomorrow, June 15th and I created a birthday card for him using pocket knifes as a theme since he collects them.



Front of the card one layer was scored to make a criss-cross pattern (sorry can’t come up with the actual name) and I used chalk to cover over the cardstock after rubbing on some versamark so the chalk will adhere to it.  Card base is from Stampin! Up as well as part of the knife.  I found the pic of pocket knives on a website, downloaded and used on another layer.  The sentiment “Have a Knife Day” is printed and than punched with a scalloped punch.  The knife shown on front was cut out using SCAL2.



I used the same background of knives like on front, and the sentiment is from Stampin! Up and I shaded around the card stock with Blue Bayou from Stampin! Up.
The next birthday card project I am working on is for my grandson who will be 17 on the 15th of June…it is…. you’ll see it in the next day or so.  I’m late..but intentional as I don’t get paid ‘till next week and the birthday cash will be sent with his card.

Don’t know what to title this blog post

You know, I have spent two weeks dealing with PayPal due to someone hacking my account…used my e-bay account to order 4 cameras and sent to New Jersey shipping address….and PayPal expects me to pay back the negative balance in my account…expect me to be a fool to pay for something I did not order.

Than just shortly I was going thru the Creative Cutter’s blog and downloading files I would like to try for my personal use, and low and behold,  I find a cut file similar to one I created and offered as a freebie on my blog on February 21, 2011…similar in style and color.  Looks like the oval ones was re-tweaked, and both oval and scalloped ovals offered as freebies on their blog…

Now, back than, I was not watermarking mine or adding a TOU with my files, but have since started because of selling my files in a couple stores.  And I do have an account with MyCopyRight now, which will not do any good with these  particular file(s).  Just lettin u all know….

So here’s a copy of my TOU for your information:

Good morning … this is my first attempt at working a digi for DtsArt.  I worked up two cards using this design…using Wal-mart cardstock.  I colored in the digis with watercolor pencils on the pink card and the yellow card was my water color crayons by Stampin! Up  Other elements used on the cards from a retired scrapbook kit by Close to My Heart




You will find this digi  offered at Die Cut Designer Store and select DtsArts in the sidebar.

Thank you for allowing me to share with you.

Dinosaurs

I am a new member of the design team for Adams Acres at Adams Acres and our first project or design was to use dinosaurs…she had sent different ones to work with, and I chose three of the files and created a card for a 3 year boy who’s birthday is this coming weekend.  The other cuts was used in, once again, my great-grandson’s baby album. 

Here is picture #1:

I used Sure Cuts a Lot 2 for my cutting software…Make the Cut can be contrary when it comes to cutting!  I created the tree from a picture found on the web, and the cardstock used is mainly from Wal-mart or whatever I have available, mostly scrap pieces from other projects.  The designer paper and embellishments are from a retired scrapbook kit from Close to My Heart.  I used black pearls for the eyes.

The following is my the album I am making for my great-grandson, Carson.

This actually is the back inside cover of the album that I have created.  The dinosaur is part of the kit from Adams Acres.  Cardstock used for the dinosaur is from Wal-mart and the embellishments from retired scrapbook kit from Close to My Heart.

Just click on the following link to purchase the kit of dinosaurs at http://www.diecutdesigner.com.  The link will take u to her store area.

Thank you for checking in with me today.  Hope your day is a great one as it is for me.

A Father’s Day Card

This past week I have been busy working on another design for http://dtsartblog.blogspot.com/ and it is ready to post.  You will find the design I created at http://dtsartblog.blogspot.com/ and in the gallery at  http://diecutdesigner.com/forum .
 
I created this card with my son in mind….drum roll…..



The card base was sent to me thru a subscription to www.splitcoaststampers.com last Wednesday and I thought…cool….this is the card base I would like to use.  It’s a tutorial with written instructions and pictures showing how to cut and fold the base.  Also they have a video showing the same instructions.
 
My card base is from cardstock from Stampin! Up, and additional cardstock is from Wal-mart.  The sentiment and trim on sides and bottom from a retired kit from http://closetomyheart.com/ that I had purchased about three years ago and now using.

Go on over to http://dtsartblog.blogspot.com and the gallery at http://diecutdesigner.com/forum   to look at the teams designs for this cute cut.
 
Thank you for stopping by, and I will be back on Thursday with another posting.
