OH wow it's been a while!

I made a few cards for a few important people in my life. I don't want to say too much about it though. ;)

Just a few fun cards

There was a VSN mini this past weekend on Splitcoast. These are a few of the projects that I did for it.

THIS challenge was to use the technique Burned Batik. The background is stamped and embossed but heated a little extra long to give it a 'burned' look to it. I then used ink to make the butterflies pop. The main image is inked up then I took a chocolate chip marker and 'thumped' along the edges. I love the look it gave.

This challenge was to make a Hope Chest. I made the two pocket purse. Turned out really cute IMO.

This is a bag topper for THIS challenge. The letter is supposed to be an "L" for 'love' but it doesn't look much like an L does it? But it is. :)

This is for THIS challenge, I chose to make the diaper fold pouch. The image and words are from Unity Stamp Company and the paper and chipboard scallop is from Stampin Up!

This card was for THIS challenge to use something old, something borrowed (or given to me), something new and something blue. The blue is in the paper and the earth is colored blue. The old is the black ring that I cut out a while back while cutting something else out, the something borrowed (or given to me) was the background flower print paper and the something new is the stamp set used Eco Chic by Unity Stamp Company.

Shout out to a REALLY awesome company!!

This is for my dads business Christmas cards. They turned out beautifully. I used brown craft ink and then heat and stick powder for the trees. You can't really see the glitter but it's there and they really shine. I stamped off the image twice before stamping it inside for a shadow effect.

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer!

I put a TON of work and time into this little card and just absolutetly love it! This is a shaker card using THIS tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers. I used Old Olive as the card base even though you can't see it. Night of Navy is used for the background, I stamped the snow from itty bitty backgrounds in whisper white craft ink for that.

For the inside:

The trees are cut out with quickutz in old olive and a green from bazzil that I'm not sure of the name. Rudolph is also cut out from quickutz and is in creamy caramel, a dark brown from bazzil and real red. The tail of rudolph is another dear head but just the ear. The 'snow' or glitter has kinda stayed stuck to his eyes. :( I'm a little disappointed in that but it doesn't take away from the card much. I used stickles for the ornaments on the tree and Snow Tex for the snow on the trees. The star is cut out using my cricut in So Saffron then I used stickles on it as well. The front tree is popped up with dimensionals.

Santa:

All of the parts here are also cut from quickutz. The two browns used for the sleigh was Close to Cocoa and a light brown that I don't know the color. My friend let me have some of it for contrast. Santa is cut out in three colors, Blush Blossom, Whisper White and Real Red. Then cut apart and pieced together. I used stickles on him as well. The reigns is black embroider thread.

The reindeer:

Are cut out with quickutz and used the same brown as the sleigh. I colored in their noses and hooves with a black marker.
