Pickup Truck Bayport


My step son's birthday is coming up this week so I needed to make a card for him. The reason I picked a pickup truck to put on the front of the card is because he has been asking Santa for a truck for the last couple of years. so I decided to put one on his card. The card is simple and easy to make. The tools I used on this were the brand new Cruicut (if you don't have one and are considering a die cut machine of some kind, find someone who has one and try it out), my Stampin' Up mat pack (this contains a plastic square piece that helps you get your hole spaced for brads and eyelets), and a ribbon punch from Making Memories. This is a good masculine card.

Easter Bunny's Laundry Line

I know I haven't been on by blog for quite a while, but I have a new step granddaughter and we had to go down to South Carolina to see her. She is beautiful, of coarse.

I made this Easter Card for her first Easter. It is a very simple card. It is also my first experience with digital stamps. All the paper came from one paper pack, along with the pink tag and the pink corner piece. I colored the picture in with copic markers and then, to add a little pizazz, I added glitter to the picture by taking a glue pen and just drawing in where I was going to want glitter and then dipping it in glitter. I added glitter to the tag by just going around the white "Easter Eggs" part with a glue pen and dipping that. I also put glitter on the two brads by putting some glue on the tops of them and then dipping them in the glitter. Have fun making this one.
