The Lorie-Dani Project #5

It's time for another Lorie-Dani Project! Remember, this is where my friend Lorie and I give each other challenges in order to keep us creating? Fun stuff! This week was Lorie's turn to choose and her challenge was to make a card using a Cuttlebug type embossed background.

So I pulled out my Bug and got to work. This came together pretty quickly. I cut the patterned paper down to size and then embossed it with the Friends Forever folder. Used my trusty sanding block to distress it. Tied on some white wrinkle ribbon. Popped up my panel with some dimensionals and called it good.

Make sure you visit Lorie and check out her fabulous card. Because it will be just that- fabulous!

Now here's a picture of my craft table when I sat down to make my card last night.

Um, yeah. It's a disaster. I cleared about 8 inches off to work on and left everything else as is. I have got to find the top of that table! And soon!

Thanks for stopping by, I'm off to get busy this morning. I've got a dress shirt to iron. Adam's class is going to see a symphony and so he's got to dress up. It's sad to say, but I don't think I've ironed a shirt in probably 3 years. Sheesh. Hopefully I don't ruin it. :)

Ingredients!
Paper:White cardstock; MME patterned paper
Stamps:none
Ink: Versamagic Persimmon
Etc: wrinkly ribbon; embossing folder

The Lorie-Dani Project #4

Its time for another Lorie-Dani project! This time it was my turn to pick the challenge and I decided we should make a birthday card using a favorite color(s). I think I might have mentioned before that orange and green are 2 of my favorite colors. :)



This is the card I ended up with. I wish now I had used a darker ink so it showed better. But, it's done and whoever gets it will never know(unless they read my blog!). Now go check out Lorie's card. I just know she has something wonderful up her sleeve!

I've got a bunch of errands to run this morning, so I'm off! Have a super day!

Ingredients!
Paper: My Minds Eye patterned papers; misc cardstock
Stamps: Party This Way- Stampin' Up!
Ink: Memento
Etc: Divine twine

The Lorie-Dani Project #3

This week Lorie challenged us to make something without using patterned paper. Oh, the pain! The agony! Patterned paper is my favorite thing to use!


Well, I managed to get over it. :) This card is 3x6 inches and the images are from the Stampin' Up! set Aviary. The ribbons and button were just in my stash. And that stuff threaded through the button? Why, that's Divine Twine. I'm seriously in love with it and bought a couple yards of all the colors at my LSS. Oh how I wish I could afford full spools in every color! They just make me grin! (Yes, I know. I'm a dork.) :)

Make sure you go see Lorie's card. She always does such amazing work!
Thanks for stopping by!




Ingredients!
Paper: misc cardstock
Stamps: SU! Aviary
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black; PTI Hibiscus Burst

The Lorie-Dani Project- Birthday Melons!

Well, hello there! Did you all think I fell off the face of the earth? Nope, I'm still here. Just busy and uninspired. But my friend Lorie approached me last week about starting a bi-weekly challenge for the two of us to keep us creating. Of course I said yes, I love me a challenge! So starting today and every other Monday following Lorie and I will be posting a card. Lorie challenged us to make a summer birthday card for this week.


I went super simple- gotta ease back into my crafty zone! Just some cardstock, patterned paper and a bit of ribbon. But how cute would it be with a little package of watermelon candies as a birthday surprise?!

Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back on Wednesday with a new card. Be sure to head over to Lorie's blog to see her fabulous card!


Ingredients!
Paper:SU! Cardstock; American Crafts patterned paper
