oh I have been having fun! day 3 cards

Making cards out of backgrounds from online card classes background check class...so much fun!  So here are my cards from day 3.

These were some from Kristina.

And then a couple from Laura...I wish I had more stripes I would have done more plaids- I'm going to try to get a few more done but I have a prior engagement for tomorrow so I wanted to make sure I got to post what I did do!

So here we go

Now I have a couple from Jennifer, I have more backgrounds done so I'll try to get a few more done...I don't know why but I had more trouble with Jennifer's stud even though I had done the techniques before! So this first one I don't care for but in the spirit of keeping it real I'm showing the good and the bad.

And one I LOVE

And there you have what I have done right now. You really should head over to Online card classes if you didn't take this class because it was an awesome class!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lol day 4 of Background Check class

Yes, I'm jumping around, I had to round up some stuff for day 2 and since day 3 is making cards from day 1 and two I thought I would try to get some card techniques from day 2 done first... And that leads me to day 4 shares.

So first up are two backgrounds from Debbie., she does such lovely work!

I can't tell you what is up with the colt but it is a blue Cardstock with wink of Stella over top

Next up was one I did making your own embossing diffuser time consuming yes but great knowledge to have in your crafting arsenal!

Okay then I have two from sweet Laura...I am also crazy for rainbows and I smile every time I watch her vids!

And then Kristina's techniques which always impress!

And this was making a full cover plate with a smaller die, my little die was one from impression obsession and I loved how this turned out!

Now this was making a cover plate look with shaped dies, I did a dumb move by not cleaning my Matt before going to bed and getting up and flipping it over to add adhesive to the back...I'll wait to see how we pull these into finished cards to figure out a fix.

And those are my cards for day 4 of class. I still have a pile to catch up on, and playtime with a little girl so have a great day all!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Woohooo back to online card class for Background check class

We are working on just what the name would apply background techniques. I a m a day behind so I am sharing day one stuff

First up were some of Laura Bassen's ink blending techniques

Then I have some of Kristina's cool inking shares

And then we have Jennifer's fun techniques

And the last one I got done

And that's what I got done from day one of class so far. I am having so much fun getting inky as I always do Online Card classes!

IDon't know if I can do any of day 2 tonight but I will try to get it done in the morning, because tomorrow we take the backgrounds and make cards out of them😀

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

A couple more cards to share with you :D

I have another card I want to share for Essentials by Ellen June Mix-It Up Challenge with Altenew I did a watercolor and added the black Wild Garden dies from Essentials by Ellen, and then I used the Altenew sentiment in the Persian Motifs set. I hope you like it and then I did this card yesterday and shared it on instagram, using a technique Tammy Tutterow shared yesterday. I double stamped the sentiment and in my haste stuck my hand in the first version and ended up doing a monoprint after I got the whole thing double stamped and was lining it up...UGH but I did my best to fix 'er up. and that is my shares for yesterday. Thanks for popping in for a peek! :D

a couple quick projects to start

First up is a card that I have done for Ellen Hutson June Mix it up challenge with Altenew. I tried to shake it up a little bit with a killer bit of watercolor and tilting my paper (normally I gravitate towards my straight lines. So here is my card using The Hello Gorgeous by Julie stamps from Essentials by Ellen, and Altenew's Vintage Flowers stamp set.

I love both these sets...great roses with an awesome brush sentiment-yum!

 I also wanted to add a quick teacher gift I did up for DD's teacher, she's so great!

,

It was made with a Lori Whitlock cutting file from the Silhouette store.

Hope to have more to share soon.
 

 

had a little fun today doing a Lawn Fawn card

The stamps I used are from the Gleeful Gardens and Gingham Backdrops stamp sets. I also used the banner dies. I am quite pleased how this turned out

The photo angle makes it look like the circles aren't lined up but take my word for it ... They are

It's also because the various layers are popped up for dimension.

 

I am submitting this to the Lawnscaping Calling all critters challenge (cick on the word challenge to go there!)

I got another card done from class

This was a technique that Kristina  shared on Day one of class and I kinda went a little mask crazy! There were at least seven masks I count off the top of my head. Stamps from Lawn Fawns Gleeful Garden, Let's Play and an acorn from Joy to the Woods. :D I had such a great time making this card.

 

I am going to Add this link to the Lawnscaping Calling all critters challenge, (click on the word challenge to go there) because it has a ton of critters! and it's one of my favorite groupings of critters :D
