ok, the first card i made for hero arts! they had a little mini-challenge this weekend (in honor of world card making day, of course!) which was to create a card with hero arts elements, incorporating your favorite color! sounds easy to me! i'm trying to make all holiday theme-ed cards (when i can!) so that my christmas card list will be checked (done!!) in time! ha ha! we'll see... :)
so my favorite color is turqouise-y/light blue/teal-y (i think that's a crayola name...lol!) and i LOVE LOVE LOVE kraft paper at the moment, so i had to pair the two together! i was going for a windy/snowy look with the snowflakes! i stamped some of them and heat embossed some - um, danielle taught me how to heat emboss today...i'm just saying...i may never use another technique in my life! lol! ok, that's a bit of a stretch, but it's SO fun.
i popped up this little hero arts owl's sweater and the sentiment. i also distressed the sentiment with a white stamp pad. when i look at this card, i just want to snuggle under the covers on a cold day!

the next card is a quick one i whipped up for the my pink stamper challenge this weekend - creating a halloween-themed card.
i took a little t-rex i had cut with the cricut - and transformed him into a mummy! he wanted to trick or treat too! ha ha! i used a watermark stamp pad for the 'moon' and 'forest' behind the little guy.
rawr!
i hope you all were able to pencil in a lot of scrapping/carding this weekend too!
enjoy! :)
Great cards Sam! I also took this weekend to get some of my Christmas cards finished... I think I'm almost done with the special ones! After that I'll just have to find a simple mass card that I can make over and over again quickly! Great job on both challenges!
ReplyDeleteRawr give me some candy!!! I love it!!! I am so happy we had such a productive day and didn't spend a dime!!!! Our honeys would be proud! :-) I agree with Kristy! Make special x-mas cards then mass produce another layout for the rest of the cards!! Genius!!!
