Archivers Unity Class

Tag made at the class.  I like the "idea" of this flower but not my execution.  I liked the ones Angie did at Palooza better.

Archivers Unity Class

This card we actually COMPLETED in class.  Making the roses was difficult to say the least.  I was NOT happy w/the results no matter WHAT I did.  Well, I tried to squish it a bit to make it look better & it SQUISHED but good. Well, I REALLY like how that looked.  The added benefit; it should be able to be mailed now!

Stamps, Unity.  Ink, TH Distress.  DSP, cosmo cricket

Archivers Unity Class

One of the cards I made at the Unity class.  I did this one at home as we ran out of time AT the class.  I loved the projects and getting to KEEP THE STAMPS!!!  Woot woot!!  Love getting some new Unity.  And, I was able to pick up my SMASH book while at Archivers!!!  I'm a HAPPY GIRL!!!!

Stamps, Unity.  DSP, I think it's Cosmo Cricket.  Ink, TH Distress Inks.

5 Fonts ATC

Ok, I kinda feel like I cheated on this one.  The 5 different fonts are all in the one stamp.  I went thru tons of different stamps trying to get related words in different fonts but couldn't come up w/anything cohesive.  I do like how this one turned out!  I love the green/purple combo!

Stamps:  either Ippity or Unity; I can't remember which.  Ink:  Pallet Hybrid. Cardstock & DSP:  SU

Whoa, it's been a LONG time!!!

I've got a TON of stuff to share!!  I'm going to do my best to get some stuff posted & some stuff that will post over the next couple days (weeks???)   I've taken pics of ALL the ATCs I've done (except that baby one I did for Jennifer, forgot to take a pic of that!) but NONE of the cards I have made have gotten a pic done.  Dang!  I need to send more cards!!!

Be prepared!!!

Tim Holtz Class

This is the last & probably my favorite card that I did at archivers.  I love the doily look of the b/g stamp & LOVE those canvas shapes!!!  Plus, who can resist a stick pin?!?!?

Tim Holtz Class

I do LOVE this card.  I have never been all that jazzed by this die but I think I might be now!!  Painted the wings, embossed the crown & covered the heart with stickles!!  I'm not sure you can see but the background is embossed too!  I love tying the twine around various elements.  I need to incorporate that into more of my swaps!  I also think I NEED that tiny attacher thing.  The tiny staples are so cute!!

Tim Holtz Class

While I LOVE the way this card turned out, I HATE those flowers.  I'm sure Archviers wanted us to buyt the 4 punches and the tool kit to make these flowers but the were toooo much!!  Punch them, ink them and then use a tool to curl them.  Nuh uh!!!!  I LOVE the ribbons stacked up & the cupid!!

Orange & Purple

I made what I thought was a PERFECT purple & orange ATC for Chris's swap.  She never got it & never got it.  So, I made a different one & sent it to her.  I don't LOVE this as much as I did the first one but maybe that's 'cause I KNEW it was a replacement.  I think this is a Unity stamp & I KNOW the DSP is Basic Grey.

Last week, I got a USPS "body bag" and the original ATCs were returned to me.  Chris' name was ripped thru so they sent it back to me.  ATCs were not damaged!!!  I'll have to come up with a swap theme that fits & host one of my own!

Tim Holtz Valentine Class

Ever so long ago, I took a class at Archivers.  I've just never got around to posting the pics!  Now that Valentines Day was a MONTH ago, I'll post.  LOL

I liked the IDEA of this card but my execution of it left something to be desired.  I'm going to have to try this on another card.  Maybe one I can actually do properly. 

October Afternoon ATC Swap

I hosted a swap with the only stipulation that you use October Afternoon paper.  This is my ATC from the swap.  A month or so ago, Lori (I THINK it was Lori; Lori was the one to send me star cut outs!) showed us how to make these 3D stars but much LARGER sizes.    I thought that a smaller version would work great for this paper.  I love how the end product came out!  The grid star is from Unity, the orange one is a punch!

Love, love, lovel, love!

Love is in the air.  That's Chris' swap theme.  Applies a TH Mask to white cardstock.  Sprayed with Glimmer Mist.  Then, before removing the mask, I stamped w/my Ippity music stamp.  LOVE how it turned out.  Now, if Chris ever got them....

More Snow?

I could have SWORN I've already posted this but, I didn't see it when I searched my blog.  I think this was for a swap Angie was hosting.  This was one of my first SU sets.  I bought this back when I didn't know how to color images.  In fact, I HAD no coloring mediums!!  Kinda surprised I didn't get rid of this set for just that reason.  But, I'm glad I kept it.

Blue & Green

Chris did a couple of color combo swaps!!  I had this old SU paper I got on clearance and it was PERFECT for the blue & green swap.  You can't tell but I squirted the white paper w/glimmer mist.  made it look really cool but, made it VERY hard to glue down properly.  The paper curled & didn't want to stay to the mat.

I got your goat!!

For a goat ATC swap.  Digital goat, paper pieced.  I really liked this goat.  Aparently, so did everyone 'cause 2 other people used the same goat.
