Share a Card Sunday - I can't believe I didn't post this one

Happy Sunday, you guys!
Just my luck... Over the last week I was sick, right? well, I started to feel a bit better over the weekend but then - my daughter came down with something... total bummer.. the only upside to her illness was that fact that she wanted to cuddle all day in bed with me... poor baby.
Anyways, that whole story was just to tell you that I didn't make any new card over the weekend to show you.
Just as I starter to write an apology post about delaying the SCS (Share a Card Sunday) post - I found a picture of a card the I made a couple of months ago and haven't shared it yet.
Have a look:

I love this card for so many reasons:

1. Awesome color combination - one of my favorites. Green and Pink always go together (in my humble opinion).
2. No sentiment = no limits. It can be a "happy birthday" card or a "thinking of you card" or any other theme for that matter. Super usable.
3. BUTTONS.. I love them. Those buttons are truly vintage buttons and by "vintage" I mean "old". I got them from my mom a few years ago and she had them for at least 10 years now. There absolutely awesome!
4. Rounded corners.. If I could I would have round the corners of my desk, my computer screen, my windows at home.. everything square should have rounded corners. But that's just me :)

That's it for now. Thanks for visiting!

Come again soon,

Share a Card Sunday - Survival Kit

Happy Sunday!
It's almost the end of Sunday here is Israel but still Sunday so it counts...
I caught some kind of flu that goes around (my kid passed it on to me) but I still wanted to share with you the card that I made in the last week.
So, I'm sorry for this post being short, I just gotta go to sleep again (I feel awful).
I made a box filled with cards for various occasions around the year.
Just thought that it will be a great idea to give it to a man that keeps (like many of the men I know) forgetting birthdays, anniversaries, valentines and what not.
Have a look:

It turned out pretty cool...
Asked my hubby it (what does he think of the idea and if he would buy it) and he said that he would never dream of forgetting an event related to me so it's not necessary for him... haha... *pain in ribs* *pain everywhere*...
OK, before I'll have a complete shut down - I'm going to sleep.
Thanks for looking!
Come again soon,

Share a Card Sunday - Cool Dude Collection set

Happy Sunday everyone!
This time for the Share A Card Sunday post, I want to share a set that I made.
While reorganizing my craft room (table and bookshelves is more accurate), I found a manly \ boyish pattern paper that I though would be great for making a set.
I also found a blue solid paper that matches it, so I could make some envelopes too...
NOTE TO SELF: reorganize the craft room more often. I find loads of stuff while reorganizing :)

All it took was a little time, my paper trimmer, my corner rounder and some adhesive and there you go - a set of 7 matching greeting cards:

They all measure 3" by 3" and the envelopes are 3.25" by 3.25".
In some of the pictures you can see that I added a square white piece of paper to add a personal note.
Since it's a double sided pattern paper - I had to do that. The pattern on the inside of the card frames the writing space just perfectly.

This set is up for sale at my Etsy shop. Feel free to have a look around :)

Thanks for visiting!

Share a card Sunday is here!

Ready to see my very first "Share a Card Sunday"?
I'm reading a lot of articles about setting goals for a business, about creating a solid crowd of followers, maintaining the interest of the crowd etc.
That's what got me thinking about this "Share a Card Sunday". Since Saturday is our day off, and my DD usually have a long nap that day, it's a great time for me to sit down and make some cards and enjoy my free time of the weekend.
Anyways, Here's what I made today:

It's a long card.. it's a 3.75" by 6".. It's probably the widest card I've ever made.
That's what happens when you find your paper trimmer too late :)
I tried to follow this color combination from a great blog that I found (thanks to Kristina).
I got a little sidetracked with the colors... but it's only because I don't have a large variety of papers and embellishments. *wink*wink* hubby? are you getting the clue? no?

Thanks for looking you guys! I truly appreciate it.

Random Card Wednesday #17

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Today I'll be posting a short post today, I'm not feeling too good right now.
Anyways, this is another Bella card that I made when I first got those stamps:
I love those stamps! I can't get enough of them.
Really - If you don't have them - get them!


The cute thing I did with this card is to decorate a couple of the rounded corners with tiny gems that I got for my birthday and forgot all about them:

I love how Bella has a shadow.. lol...

Thanks for joining me again! I'm sorry (again) for the short post this time.
Have a great day!

Another Card by Sketch Video

Hi Everyone! It's me again.. 

Today I want to share with you a new video that I made yesterday (it's getting easier and easier to make them).

Like last time I used a sketch and a color inspiration, here are the links (if you want to look it up):

- I used the first sketch (from the 2 sketches 4 you blog) in Laura's Sketch 20:

- I used Color Inspiration #12 (from Kristina's blog):

I made a list of sketches and color inspirations that I wanted to use and these two were at the top of the list.

Anyways, Let's get down to business. Here's today's video:

I hope you enjoyed it.

Have a great day!

Random Card Wednesday #16

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I'm so glad you joined me today since today I'm gonna show you a cute & special card project that I made recently.
I came across this link and I just had to make one like that. Now, since I have a links' blog I added the link to the blog and I guess I just forgot all about it.

I don't know if you remember or not, but I told you some time ago that I'm going through my entire links' blog and creating every thing on there. If there something that I can't create due to missing supplies I just list those supplies in my wishlist.

Anyways, to make a long story short, I made this Pocket card holder:

This card holder can actually hold three card (3" by 3" cards). It only depends on the volume of the card (i.e. if you use dimentionals etc.).

I added two 3" by 3" cards that have the same theme (the green cardstock as background, the scalloped piece at the bottom and the embellishment at the top right corner).

OK, That's all for today, I hope you liked it.
Have a great day!

Cards According To Sketch

Hi everyone!

Today I have another video tutorial for you. But, it's a bit different this time.
This time I didn't get a tutorial from the SCS site like I did before.
This time I used I sketch from the CPS blog (I used the CPS #107):

In addition, I used Kristina's Color Inspirations.

First I made this card:

For this card I used the Color Inspiration #8.

Then, I decided to make a video on how I did another variation of the same sketch. For the card that I make in the video I used the Color Inspiration #13.

I hope you enjoyed the video!

Here are a few pictures of the new card I created:

Feel free to come and visit my YouTube channel. Comment, Watch videos, Rate them - Simply have fun!

Have a great day!

Random Card Wednesday #15

Hi everyone!

Today I'll show you four cards!
All those cards were created on a very cold Saturday at Ronit's house.

After completing this semester's exams, Ronit demanded that we get together and create some things.
So, she created (or started to create.. lol) a gift for her husband to celebrate their 5 years of being together. I created four cards.

This is the first one:
In this card I did a mistake with the stamp that I used. Apparently, the stamp wasn't mounted right on the wooden block so when I stamped with it, the stamp was crooked.
So I took a piece of white ribbon and hide the stamp under it... hehe.. I know. I know. It's cheating. But hey, It's a "just for my own fun" card. So I think it's OK.

Here's the second card:

In this card I used one of Ronit's stamps of a cupcake (which I usually don't like to use).
I used the black stazon ink and painted the cupcake with some rubber stamp markers.


Here's the third card:
In this card, I used Ronit's Cricut machine for the "Thinking of You" sentiment.
I don't know if you've noticed it.. But on those three cards I used the same pattern paper. I used that paper to the max (and still have scraps for a couple more cards... hmm, maybe I'll work on something today.. ).
The other thing I used is the scallop border punch (again, it's Ronit's border punch). I'm awful at punching with it, but I'll get it eventually.

And, last but not least:

Again, I used the "Thinking of You" sentiment that I cut with Ronit's Cricut machine.
For the background I stamped a lot of little heart in red and pink ink on a grey cardstock. I love that color combo.

Well, that's it for today.
I hope you liked it. Have a great day!

P.S.
I want to thank Ronit from the bottom of my heart - You're a true friend! And your stamps aren't so bad either... hehe...
