Fun Edges
I was looking for inspiration today and pulled out the instructions from the January SEI kit. I decided to create this card from different scraps. I took a piece of neutral colored cardstock that was ready, scored it, and folded it. I then took nine different papers as recommended and cut them into 1″ by … Continue reading
Mini Album
Today has been pretty crazy so I decided to go back to one of my older SEI kits and do another project from it. I pulled out the Spring 2010 “In the treetops” collection. I had made all the cards so I decided to make the mini album. The kit refers to the album as … Continue reading
Brown Love Ya
Here’s a variation of this sketch I’ve been featuring the last couple of days. My favorite part is that you can orient the card any way you want. Just a reminder that any card you see on the blog or on my Flickr is available for sale. Simply contact me with your request.
Laugh
I liked the idea of using scraps so much that I pulled out yesterday’s sketches and quite a bit of paper that I’ve had for a while. Here’s the part of the sketch I copied today. The card is a small 4 1/4 inches by 5 1/2 inches, and I love the simplicity.
Wishing you…
Today’s greeting card is one I made for my Aunt. I heard she was having foot surgery so I thought I’d wish her a speedy recovery. It was very easy to put together after freehand stamping the messages (no guidelines) and cutting out the butterflies by hand.
Green Birthday
Today’s card is dedicated to my brother who had a birthday on January 26th. Love you, bro! Stamping tip: To create a straight and centered message, draw pencil lines with a ruler and begin stamping in the middle of the word. Don’t forget to remove the pencil lines when you’re done!
Love Ya
This is another design experiment. I wanted a more masculine valentine’s card but liked the design of this one. Here’s the example and step-by-step photos: And the final product:
Catching Up
Before this week, it had been a while since I updated. I figured I’d spend some time catching up on what I worked on last fall and winter. A lot of these photos are from the same SEI kit and were made at a friends in New Mexico in late September.
Commitment Renewed
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Wait, I think I’ve heard that somewhere. Oh well, it’s true because I plan on renewing my commitment to card-a-day. I plan on tweaking it a bit but keeping up with my “Handmade by Shay” theme. I’d like to do a little more scrapbooking … Continue reading
