O-Fish-ally Awesome


This card was inspired by the current challenge over at Cupcake Inspiration "Use Lime, Teal & White".  I made this using ink pads, water and of course, stamps.  I used a fun retired stamp set from CTMH called O-fish-ally Awesome.  By the way - if you are interested in getting any CTMH products I'm having an online party.  Just be sure to select my party when checking out!

Tickled Pink

 This card was made...well...just because.  LOL  It could cover a lot of different occasions, a new baby girl or a congratulations or even a birthday.  I cut the wagon using my Cricut, then used a Stamp'in Up embossing folder called Timber 3D on the brown pieces.  I used a heart banner die to go across the wagon.  The pig and the sentiment are from a CTMH set called Kind Of A Pig Deal.  The balloons are from a retired CTMH set called A Wild Bunch.  I used some glittery brads on the wheels of the wagon.  I used a grass die (twice) for the bottom of the card and added some ribbon to the top.


***For those of you in the USA*** If you are interested in getting the pig set (or anything else - a new catlog just came out), I'm currently having a CTMH online party.  I need a minimum of $150 in sales to get a certain item I'd love to get!  Here is the link - when you get to the shopping cart be sure to check off the box that says "Karen-Design Team Crafters".  My party is closing on 8/16/23.  You can order any time, the items will not be held until the party closes.

The Mr & Mrs

 I have a co-worker getting married.  This card was made for her and her intended.  Have you ever realized just how hard it is to take a picture of a shiny card?  LOL  I used glitter paper, glossy paper and shimmery paper, not to mention gems.  I finally just laid it in a chair over some burlap, stood at a weird angle and got a picture that is a decent representation of what it really looks like.  LOL  I used a die I have had for a long time for the bride and groom, the other layers and the flowers were cut using my Cricut.  The sentiment was drawn on by the Cricut.


this is the good picture.

This is an attempt where I usually take my pictures, see what I mean?  Oh, and I changed the sentiment and banner to white and added a white arch, after taking this picture.  LOL  Do you ever do that?  Take a picture and as you are looking get other ideas?
