This Z-fold card is a favorite. Reminds me of the English gardens Mom painted a few years back. While the image used in this card isn't one that Mom painted, it is very similar to some that she does have images of.

Gotta love these shutter mechanism cards! So happy that The Artistry liked it too. This card also features an EZ Sound Module, button activated from InviteByVoice.com. Bonus: there's an SVG / PDF file you can download as well for the shutter mechanism. Hope you'll stop by!
It's been so fun to use these quirky digital images from Vera Lane Studio for some upcoming birthday cards.
The digi stamp is a p2c using the Skycut and SCAL5. Spot on and perfect cut! Colored pencils, blended with Gamsol. The background is "smooshed" using distress inks, water and an acetate sheet. A few enamel dots were added. The Happy Birthday stamp is from Stampers Anonymous.
This "scrappy" slimline card is interactive. There's a lever mechanism and a wobble in use. It's so much fun. The colors are bright and and are perfect for the 10 year old it's going to. All pieces were cut on the Skycut using SCAL 5. And again, the P2C is spot on with no problem cutting the candle and flames. The digi stamp was resized without losing any details and is about 1 1/2 inches tall. Colored pencils, gamsol were used for color on the stamp. Some hand drawn details were added to the "packages"
I'm looking forward to using these and a few other digis in my stash in the days to come. It's so relaxing to do a little coloring and that lever mechanism is easy to set up and use. It's the same mechanism that was used in this post last year using a digi from Whimsy Stamps.
Thanks for dropping by and have a crafty day and if today's not your day, schedule in an hour to two this week.
It's that time of year and we have some painting projects that need a few extra hands to help make it happen. That wheelchair ramp is a long one and it's needs a bit of refreshing! I figured that using some fun invites would make the job seem a little more fun and we'd enjoy the company as we tackled the ramp. You'll find more of the details on The Artistry!
And while you're there -- be sure to check out this amazing 210+ Font Bundle! There are definitely some keepers in this one! All have commercial use licenses! I spotted a few that could be used with a pen or other draw tool, like the Foil Quill. Scroll down the page to take a peek at all the fonts included - You won't be disappointed.
Hoping you'll get some time to spend in your crafty space this week to nurture your creative spirit and soul. Hope it's a great one!
It's that time of the year again to start replenishing the stash of cards. It's been fun to look around and find some great ideas. This idea, however, came in the mail. I loved it and decided to try my hand at it as well... AND .... test the pen tool and foil quill in the #skycut. It was nice to see how nicely both of these attempts turned out.
The image above was done using the pen tool and a Sharpie ultra fine pen. There are 3 layers of cardstock on the left half of the card and two layers on the right side. The difference in the heights of the material were handled nicely by the machine and there were no problems with the pen dragging or having trouble. The foil quill adapter was a perfect fit and after allowing the tip to heat, the results were perfect. Yep, if you see the typo, I did too! LOL but too late. At any rate the OOPS has been corrected for the next try. And I now have a full sheet of suggested "holey" sentiments for this card
Distress Ink was blended on a scrap piece of card that is sandwiched between the card front and the card base. Whether you choose to use the card front in a vertical or horizontal position is your choice. The options are endless.
We have quite a few birthdays coming up in the next few weeks. LOTS of birthdays! Pinterest offered the inspiration for this card.
I love the retro look in the way the triangle shapes are organized. This was the first card I cut on the new machine (#skycut) and I was amazed at how quickly the machine cut everything but the card base. It was probably less than 1 1/2 minutes from start to finish.
A little inking around each of the triangles. The word "birthday" is a stamp from a Tim Holtz set, embossed with white detail embossing powder from Ranger. The enamel dot is from FSJ. Paper is from SU, FSJ, Bazill and AC.
This card is so adaptable for other occasions as well. Change out the words, papers and even the font if you'd like to suit the occasion. Looking forward to making a few with some of the digital papers I have in my stash....
Off to cut and make a stack! Hoping you have some creative time planned in the next few days! Enjoy!

This file was used for an April challenge in on the paper crafting groups on Facebook. Thought I'd better get it done early in the month since the rest of the month has filled up fast with other crafting makes and a little bit of re-organization and some yard work thrown in as well.
The paper for the basic structure is from AC cardstock and the digital Teal damask paper is from a NitWit Collection called Porch Swing. The diamond pot file is not available outside the challenge group... all pieces were cut using the Sizzix eclips 2 and eCal3
Hoping you have scheduled some time in your creative space this week and for the coming week. And thanks again for stopping by.
