i appreciate all that you do

Here's another "daughter" request.  She wanted to give her teacher a thank you card for the book she received for her birthday.  Her requirements for me: an owl and a rainbow.

The owl is from the Stampin' Up! Owl Builder punch.  I wanted to add google eyes because they're fun and who doesn't love a little fun on their card?!

The texture with the tree is the Stampin' Up! woodgrain embossing folder with a little ink added to the bossing folder to give the impressions added dimension.  The heart cut from the tree is a Sizzix framelit.

I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's post in creating my rainbow.  However, since I didn't have the border die that she used, I relied on my wonderful Gazelle to get the job done!  I simply created the arcs in the Funtime software and let my Gazelle do all the work for me.

Thank You Cards

Machine Used: Fiskars Fuse
Files Used: Scalloped Circle Die
Materials: Card stock, rhinestones, ribbon

This is the card that my daughter and I worked on together.  We sent these out to those who gave her a birthday present.  This was the first card I made utilizing my new Fuse.  I inked the die and my daughter turned the crank.  She's only 4 and it was easy enough for her to help!  LOVE THAT!!

 

My daughter helped me pick out all the papers and we layered them together.  I really like the fact that she enjoys helping me make her thank you cards.

Masculine Thank You Card

Machine Used: Boss Kut Gazelle
Software: Funtime Scrapbooking III
Materials: Cardstock, ribbon

My dearest husband asked me the other day if I could make a thank you card for him to send to his granddad.

I started by typing out "Thank You" in the true type font Papyrus and then cut out the card around it.

Inspired by a cardband that I saw on another card, I created a cut file using basic shapes in Funtime.  I then layered that band on the darker blue and topped if off with a simple cream colored ribbon.

A very simple card for a very simple man!  :o)

Thank You Card

Machine Used: Boss Kut Gazelle
Software: Funtime Scrapbooking III
Files Used: Butterfly Silhouette 0327, Sun 0652,
Materials: Cardstock, images, seed beads

Here's a VERY simple card that I made that will hopefully speak volumes to one special Nana.  My daughter received a butterfly kite, which she LOVES, from her Nana and we've had to go outside to fly it just about every day.  As you can tell by the smile on my daughter's face, she truly enjoys it!!

Using a photo of my daughter I started out by cropping her out on my PaintShop Pro and then imported it into Funtime.  Using the print and cut option, I printed her picture out and then cut the oval out around her.  I also used the print and cut feature to cut out the cloud with the "Thank You Nana" sentiment.

Since she received a butterfly kite, I used the Butterfly Silhouette available at Bosskut.  For the body of the butterfly, I used seed beads for some additional dimension and some ribbon as the tail of the kite.

Thanks for looking!!

Many Thanks

Machine Used: Boss Kut Gazelle
Software: Funtime Scrapbooking III
Files Used: Many Thanks
Materials: White Recollections value pack of cards and envelopes, Cardstock, Vinyl, fine Sharpie pen, 1/16" thick 3D dots

Using a fine Sharpie pen in my Gazelle, I used the calligraphic frames soft two font I downloaded from dafont.com, I "colored" the frame around the card.  Then I cut the bottom part of the card along the bottom border of the frame.  Then I attached a black piece of cardstock to the bottom of the card for some contrast.

The "Many Thanks" file was shared within the Gazelle Owner's forum by one of the very generous members.  I first cut black cardstock, then used white vinyl on the "Many" and then red vinyl on the "Thanks."  Then I put 1/16" thick 3D dots behind the "Many Thanks" to add some depth.

Mickaela's Thank You Card

Machine Used: Gazelle
Software: Funtime Scrapbooking III
Materials: Cardstock, hand paint, contact paper

I first started with a pack of plain white cards and envelopes.  Then using my Funtime Scrapbooking III program, I cut out "THANK YOU" on top of a heart out of contact paper.  I had already measured my daughters hand so that I knew how small the heart needed to be.  I weeded the "THANK YOU" out of the heart making sure to leave the middle of the "A" and "O".  Using transfer paper, I moved the heart and the middle of the letters onto the plain white card.

Then using my daughters hand as a "stamp" we painted her hand purple (her choice) and put it over the white heart.  Once the paint dried I carefully removed the heart and the middle of the "A" and "O".

Getting back to my Funtime, I took 10 hearts and welded them together making a heart border.  To keep from taking attention from the hand stamp, I chose light pink paper to cut the borders.

Our "hand made" thank you's are ready to be mailed!

My First Greeting Cards

These are my first attempt at Greeting Cards.  I generally find creating cards VERY intimidating, sooooo I tackled them head-on!!  While I'm not entirely impressed with how these turned out, I want to be able to see my progress as I continue on with making cards.

Machine Used: Gazelle

Software: Funtime Scrapbooking III
