Snow and Penguins

Hi everyone! It’s me Tonya and I’m here to share a card I created for the Crafty Card Gallery blog. This month’s theme was either snow or penguins. Well, I incorporated both into my card. πŸ™‚
I started with a folded 4″x6.5″ piece of cardstock from the Robin’s Nest.

I stamped the Penguin and verbiage  onto a piece of textured white cardstock and fussy cut the penguin out and inked around the edges. I adhered scraps of cardstock and a 4″ doily to the front of the card along with the penguin and sentiment.

I added sequins, stickles and a snowflake sequins to finish out the card. If you have any questions about this card please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your Friday is wonderful and enjoy creating!


Be Thankful

Hi everyone! It’s me, Tonya and I’m here to share a quick card I created for the this month’s challenge. We had to create a card in the theme of Fall which could be either leaves, fall colors, pumpkins or thanksgiving.
I started with a 6″x12″ piece of polka dotted cardstock which I folded in half to created a 6″x6″ card base. I cut four pieces of cardstock/scrapbook paper down to fit the front of the card which I then adhered to the middle of the card. 

Next I printed off the turkey and “Be Thankful” images. I fussy cut the turkey out and the be thankful sentiment I cut from the whole saying Keep Calm and Be Thankful. I adhered the image to the card and added stickles to the leaf, turkey and acorns.

I adhered a small piece of cardstock to the corner of the card along with the sentiment and a button.

A very easy card other than the fussy cutting. πŸ™‚ If you have any questions please let me know.
Thanks for stopping by, hope your Tuesday is awesome and enjoy creating!

Clyde’s Pumpkin Patch

Hi everyone! It’s me, Tonya and I’m here to share my card I created for the Crafty Card Gallery. The theme for the month of October we had to either use pumpkin/jack o’lanterns or chocolate. 
This is what I came up with for my card. The base is a folded 6″x6″ piece of purple cardstock. I cut and layered patterned cardstock/scrapbook paper which I adhered to the base of the card.

The Clyde’s Pumpkin Patch image is cut from Echo Park’s Chillingsworth Manor  Poster  and Tickets sheet of cardstock. I distressed the edges and then inked. Then added pop dots to the back to give it some “height”. 

I cut three thin strips of orange tulle and made mini bows out of them. I adhered behind the image along with some black and white polka dot flowers and some mini lime green balls picks that I had bought at Christmas but never used. I also added sequins, dew drops and black lace.

I finished off the card with ric rac and buttons. I’m really pleased with how the card turned out and was very easy to make.

If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks for stopping by, hope your Saturday is awesome and enjoy creating!

What the World Needs is a Group Hug

Hi everyone! It’s me, Tonya and I’m here to share a card I created for Crafty Card Gallery. The theme for this month is blue and tan and this is my take on this month’s challenge. 

With all the craziness that has been going in the world I just wished that we could all get along and I thought this sentiment was perfect to convey what I wanted to get across. 
The base of the card is from K & Company’s Julianne card making pad. I love the fact that the base and the rubber stamp I used from 7 Gypsies are a perfect complement to each other. I used scraps of cardstock and scrapbook paper to frame the hearts which I cutout from the Sizzix Hearts and Brackets diecut. I free handed a banner for the sentiment and adhered all together.

A very quick and simple card! If you have any questions please let me know.

Supplies Used:
K & Company: Julianne Cardmaking Pad
Robin’s Nest: Dew Drops
Sizzix: Heart and Bracket Diecut
Sequin
7 Gypsies: Collections from the Journey Stamp Set

#1 Dad Easel Card

Hi everyone! It’s me, Tonya and this month we had to try a new technique. Well, if you know me I love taking a 12×12 sheet of cardstock and making four 3″x6″ cards out of that one sheet. After much trial and error…I tried gesso and a stencil and let me tell you I had a very big mess but I did manage a few gessoed dots on the top part of my card without smearing. I did decided to finally try my hand at a easel card and this is what I came up with.
I cut a 6″x6″ cardbase from Calamity Jane Stripe cardstock and the easel I cut a 6″x11″ with folds at 4″, 4″,1″,1″,1″ from brown cardstock.
The sailors digital image is from Eclectic Anthology. I printed on cardstock and fussy cut out. I cut a piece of cream cardstock and distressed the edges and inked and then adhered the sailor image to the top of it. Next I added gauze, twine around the edge of the cream colored cardstock and then adhered to the base. I fussy cut sea life from a sheet of scrapbook paper that is from Paper Studio. I adhered those along with real mini seashells, dew drops and sequins around the edges of the base.

I folded the brown cardstock and adhered to the back of the card. 

Next I cut the leftover striped and red cardstock and glued three of the sides to the back to make a pocket. It will be perfect to add a small note and gift card. Now I have a father’s day card finished and need to create one more. πŸ™‚

Celebrate Big!

Hi everyone! It’s me, Tonya. I’m here to share a quick card I created. I cut a 4″x5 1/2″ base from white cardstock. Used scraps of cardstock and scrapbook paper I had laying around, stamped Celebrate Big on a scrap of white cardstock and inked all edges of before adhering to the top of the card. The diecut I received in a swap over a year ago is from Spellbinders but I’m not sure which set it is from??? 
The last thing I added was some sequins and dew drops to the banner and a tiny flower which sequin and dew drop to the corner of the celebrate sign.

This is a very easy peasy card that you can knock out in only a short amount of time. It can be used for a birthday or retirement celebration.
