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!

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!

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...

Random Card Wednesday #14

Hello everyone!
It's that time of the week again! RCW #14 is today.

Today I took another link from my links blog and created a card according to it.
It's the criss-cross card from the SCS site (yes, again...).

Here's my take on that tutorial:

And that's the card that goes into the "pocket": All the carstock that I used on this card were simple cardstock from the crafts store (no particular brand). The pattern papers that I used is from the Canon scrapbooking site. It's a great source for cute pattern papers that you can print in the comfort of your own home.

On the inside I used my newly purchased Bella stamp (it's called i-can't-see-a-thing-abella. Love their names!). I outlined the Bella stamp with my Sharpies (they have great bright colors).

That's all for today, thanks for joining me!

Criss-Cross Card Recipe:
Cardstock - bright pink; brown; white (no brand).
Patterned Paper - red and pink butterflies background paper (the Canon scrapbooking site).
Stamps - i-can't-see-a-thing-abella (from StampingBella).
Ink - Black Stazon.
Tools - Corner rounder (from EK), Sharpie's pens.
Accessories - Red Ribbon (no brand).

Happy Wednesday everyone!
I hope you're having a great week so far.

As usual (I can't believe it's already becoming a tradition for me), I'll be posting this week's RCW today.

Today I'll show you a cute gate fold card that I made according to this tutorial (again from SCS).

All the stuff I'm creating lately comes straight out of my links blog. I'm just going over all the links one by one and if I have all the materials I need to create what's on the link then I create it. If not (and that's the other fun part) - I'm adding the missing items to my wishlist so I'll know what to buy next.

Anyways, here's today's card:

And that's the inside of the card:

I gave this card yesterday to a couple of our friends who got married last night (Congratulation - Keren & Ofir! We love you!).
When I first created this card I knew I was going to use it for somebody's wedding.

Thanks for joining me today, Have a great wednesday!

XOXO Card Recipe:
Cardstock - bright pink; deep red; white (no brand).
Patterned Paper - XOXO (don't know from which brand - feel free to let me know if you recognize it).
Stamps - Balonabella (from StampingBella).
Ink - Black Stazon.
Tools - Classic Circles & Petite Scalloped Circles (from Nestabilities).
Accessories - Paper flower (from Prima); Fabric pink flower (from the market - thanks Tamar!); Pink pearly gem.

Random Card Wednesday #12

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Today I have a RCW bonanza!

Over at the 2peas site there's an education section in which there are great classes in all sorts of topics related to scrapbooking and card making.

I decided to take Kristina's (yes, my idol) class: A Year in Cards.
Each month Kristina issues out a PDF file with skecthes and instruction along with a video tutorial. She teaches all sorts of technics and shows tools - super fun!

So, today, I'll show you the "homework" that I made for January's class (yes, I know... a bit late, but hey - I just got to know the class).
I made three cards for January. I just made one card for each scetch that we got (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to show the sketches so I won't. But you can hop over to 2peas and see for yourself).

The first card:
It's a 4 inch by 5 inch card made from vanilla cardstock.
I used a deep purple cardstock that I embossed with my birds and swirls embossing folder (from Cuttlebug). In addition, I used some ruby red circles (that I cut with my cuttlebug - I just love that machine!) as the base for the pink prima flowers.
Simple. Clean. Just the way I like it.

The second card:It's, again, a 4 inces by 5 inches card. I tried to keep the colors pretty much the same (except for that light green base). That gorgeous flower is a flower that Tamar got for me (thanks dear!).

And, last but certainly not least (It's my most favourite card out of those three), this is the third card:

It's a 3 inch by 3 inch card (I love that size!). I used my glitter gel pens to doodle at the edge and write over the stamped sentiment.

That's all for today, Have a great day guys!
Thanks for joining me today!

Random Card Wednesday #11

Can't believe I got so far...

OK. Let's get right down to business. I don't really celebrate Valentine's day with my husband (we love each other each and every day so we don't need a special day bla bla bla...).
But, and that's a big BUT.. All those awesome and sweet cards I see over the web these past few weeks got me. I just had to make some love cards.


So, as always, I turned to my scrapping idol for "advise" and I found this beautiful card over at Kristina's blog.
Since I have a huge collection of buttons in a veriety of colors, I decided that I wanted to make one too.
So I saw the video, listened to the instruction carefully and then I just made my own thing:
I used a chocolate brown cardstock for the card base and about 20 white or clear buttons.
I addition, I used a white gel pen for the border that I doodled and for the "...love...love..." that I wrote there...

This card is super easy and fun to make. The hardest part of making it was picking out the buttons...

Here's a small close up on those buttons.

Supplies:
Cardstock - Chocolate Brown (no specific brand);
Accessories - about 20 buttons (white, clear and cream colored);
Tools - Paper trimmer/scorer (Provocraft), White gel pen.

Happy Wednesday everyone!


Thank you for joining me again to the RCW #10 I have here on my blog.


Today, I'll show you another Bella card that I made (I told you that you'll be seeing a lot of them from now on):
For the card base, I used a very light polka dot yellow paper that I didn't know what to do with it. So I made a card with it.

I used a scrap of patterned orange cardstock that I had left from a project I'm working on right now (can't show it to you yet...). I sanded off the edges of it to expose the white core a bit.. I love that effect.
I stamped the Bella with Black Stazon ink and colored it with my Sharpies...

And, of course, as you can see, I used some foam adhesive tape for the stamped image... I just had to pop that Bella up.

Well, that's all for now. Thanks for looking!

Random Card Wednesday #9

Hello again,

I finally had some time this last weekend to create some cards so I have a brand new card to show you all:
This is a card that I made at Ronit's house on our last "get together" before all her exams kick in...

I used some craft cardstock for the base of the card and used some of Ronit's doodling stmaps on it. On top of that I added my new Bella stamp (yes, yes, I gave in and bought a few... so don't be surprised to see a lot of them from now on). I stamped my Bella on a vanilla cardstock and I used a bright pink for matting it. I'll have the whole recipe at the end of the post.

I just had to use some plain dimensionals to pop the Bella off the craft cardstock.

Now, I took the last picture just to show you the coloring that I've made (I had fun doing that!):

Card Recipe:
Cardstock colors: Craft, Bright Pink, Vanilla (no fancy brand name. just from the typical craft store here).
Stamps: Ballonabella (StampingBella); Dot Flourishes (Inkadinkado - Clear Stamps Set).
Inks: Green Galore, Real Red(All Stampin' Up!); Black (Stazon).
Accessories: Scallop border punch (Fiskars), Blender pen, Dimensionals.

Thanks for looking!
Have a great day!

I'm back... + Random Card Wednesday #8

I'm back... Can't say I'm all better now because I don't want to wake up the beings that are responsible for my health lately.... but - I'm back.

I got an award earlier this week and now I'm back for the weekly tradition - the RCW! YAY!!!
This time I have a card that I made as a RAK (Random Act of Kindness - I recetly learned this term...) for a friend of mine from work that did me a few favors so I had to let her know I appreciate her.

As you've probably guessed (or not) I took the inspiration for the color combo from Kristina (she's turning out to be my blogging goddess.. hehe..).
I know. I know. These are not the exact colors I should have used but I don't have any SU! colors and these are the supplies that I have.. so... tough...

Anyways, I took some extra shots of the card from all sorts of angles since I love it and, well, since I had to give it away. So enjoy:

Well, I had to take one more picture of the card on my desk, right? Thanks for looking!
Have a great day!

Random Card Wednesday #7

Hi All!
How've been? I hope everyone had a great week so far.

Today I want to show you one of my most favorite cards that I made a few weeks ago.
I used some scraps of paper that I had left and didn't want to throw out because I love the pattern and colors of them:

I used a light blue prima flower that I adore and placed it on a round "platform" that I've created with my Nestabilities.
In the middle of the flower I use a white gem to add that additional sparkle that I was looking for.I use some Queen&Co letters for the sentiment. They're so cool! you can't see it in the picture but they have a glossy look&feel to them.

Hope you enjoyed the card for this week's RCW.

Thanks for looking!

Random Card Wednesday #6

It's that day of the week again, guys!


And yet again, I have another one of Kristina's Color Inspirations (#4):


I chose this color combo and it's one of my favorite combo on her blog.

Anyways, as you probably know, I don't have any StampinUp! papers or colors or anything so I had to improvise with the stuff I do have in my craft room.
This is what I came up with:

To be honest, I didn't like the result.. but my DH did, so I don't know about this card. What do you think?

This is just another picture of the beautiful prima flower tha I used. I just love them!
I use a couple of silver snaps (that I didn't even know I had) to hold down the flower together.

Thanks for looking!

Random Card Wednesday #5

For this week I have a cute card that I made with a Bella stamp (which you already know that I adore!!!).

I'll tell you how it started... My sweet friend, Ronit, had to make a card for a bachelorette party so I joined her in the process and we made some cards... well, she made a card and I made a card.. that's "some cards", right?

So, with that "wedding" theme in the air I made a cute card with one of the images from one of the wedding themed Bella stamps (I don't remember the name - sorry):
The letters were cut in Ronit's newly purchased Critcut. The thing is... I used white cardstock to cut those letters but when I looked at the card with white letters, something just wasn't right, d'you know what I mean? So, I colored them red with my Sharpies (gotta love those Sharpies).

I used some foam adhesive tape on this card to make the red "block" pop up a little bit more.

Since the stamped image was glued to the raised red "block", I didn't even had to use additional foam adhesive tape at the top of the stamped image:
The last picture just shows the coloring I've made with some water pencils. I love that soft look it gives:
Thanks for looking everyone!
I hope you had a great year and will have a wonderful new year!

Random Card Wednesday #4

Well, this time I have another Color Inspiration Card.

I used the Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration #5:
The background of the card is made out of white cardstock that I embossed with my Cuttlebug's "Thanks" embossing folder.

Here are a few more angles of the card:

I love those olive-green gems. I got them from my friends for my last birthday. Thanks you guys!

Thank you all for looking!
