I stepped out side of my crafting comfort zone this week as I made a Designed2delight card. I've been looking at a lot of blogs trying to see what the "fashion" is and to gain a better grasp at my style. I really like how this card turned out!

How I did it:

star card: wild card

hot pink layer: 5 1/2 x 4 3/4

pink polka dot: 5 1/4 x 4 1/2

the inner star is the cut out from the white layer from the front.

ek success markers

inking and dashlines

# 1 dad

My niece and I made this card. She picked out what she wanted and I put everything together. She wanted a star card for her dad. I did this for the father's day challenge at http://whimsicalwednesdays.blogspot.com/

How we did it:

Star card: wild card

# 1 Dad: celebrate with a flourish

I don't know if you can see if but I also did some inking around everything.

Graduation card

This was a super quick card to do. good thing too because I didn't have a lot of time yesterday.

How I did it:

Con*Grats: gypsy wanderings: 2"

diploma: wild card: (real dial size off) 5"

Star card: wild card: 5 1/2"

pen doodling

If I wasn't in a rush I would have done a better job. I have 3 more card to do like this one and I'll show the end result of those.

Country Cat

I made this card for last weeks flaunt it fridays challenge. We were supposed to use the Cindy Loo cartridge or a similar cut that is on that one. I didn't have Cindy Loo but I saw that there was a cat on there and I did have one on the Country life. (which i just got). I've been itching to do a card from the wild card (which I also got) so here is the result.

How I did it:

Scallop circle card:from wild card: cut at 5 1/4

circle layer: from george: cut at 4 1/4

cat: from country life : cut at 8 1/2

(this was a small cat on a chair. it is not on real dial size which i should have done. this was planned on my gypsy)
