Just Crazy

Chalk Talk
Comments

I needed two birthday card for two animal lovers – a dog lover and a cat lover.  So I pulled out my Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs and Crazy Cat stamps and went to town.  The first card is the cat card colored with Copic Markers.  It’s a 5 x 7 on a Basic Black card base.

The sentiment is embossed on black card stock and popped up.  The next is the dog card – similar design on a 5 x 7 Pacific Point card base.

I used the retired Stampin UP set Chalk Talk for the sentiment.

Just something Crazy from me today!  Hugs, Fran

Well what can I say?  This is the kind of card that cleaning creates!  While going through a few boxes tucked away in my closet, I found all kinds of embellishments – everything from flowers, to Christmas, to babies, to animals.  I thought I might use some of this stuff – and decided to make a Double High Katie Label card would be a good start. 

I started with my favorite sheet of Watercolor Wonder DSP – and lots of daisies.  The little ladybugs were created with an Elizabeth Craft Designs die and glitter.  The sentiment is from Best of Love. 

On the inside I used Chalk Talk (and more flowers and ladybugs.) 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Chalk Talk, Best of Love
Cardstock – Whisper White, Smokey Slate, Island Indigo, Gumball Green, Watercolor Wonder DSP
Ink – Basic Gray
Etc – Karen Burniston Katie Label Pivot die, ECD Ladybug die, Tasteful Trim die, Ribbon punch, Bird punch, Washi tape (Epic Day), flower stickers

I’ve tried to consolidate some of the stash – a better idea would be to use it up!  Hugs, Fran

I promise to put this set away (for a day or two) after this one last card.  For this Chalk Talk card I abandoned the chalkboard technique and backed the focal panel in white.  I also used the other embossing folder in the Delicate Designs set – just because!

Supplies
Stamp Set – Chalk Talk
Card stock – Whisper White, Epic Day DSP, Silver Glimmer, Pool Party
Ink – Pool Party
Etc – Delicate Design embossing folder, Hearts a Flutter Framelits, small heart punch, basic rhinestone

Okay – pick one!  It might end up as my swap for convention   Hugs, Fran

Mixing the chalkboard technique with some Glimmer paper – works for me   This is a new set in the upcoming catalog called Chalk Talk.  I don’t have the matching framelits (again – yet!) but this image was easy to cut out.  I used the Epic Day Designer Series paper cut in strips for the background and a Delicate Design embossing folder on the Whisper White.  The hearts are a variety of framelits and punches. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Chalk Talk
Card stock – Whisper White, Epic Day DSP, Basic Black, Silver Glimmer
Ink – White Craft ink
Etc – Delicate Design embossing folder, Hearts a Flutter Framelits, small heart punch, basic rhinestone

All sorts of things going on here!  Hugs, Fran
