40th Anniversary

Hi everyone, it's been a long time since I posted.  We've been busy with harvest, but that is all wrapped up now and it's time to get back to the creative side of life.  Friends of ours celebrated their 40th anniversary and this is the card I made for them.  The cardstock is from Stampin' Up and also the sentiment.  I used a Cuttlebug embossing frame folder and embossed a border around the edge of the card.  The image is from Shabby Beautiful Scrapbooking's blog.  She gives free collage sheets, all you have to do is subscribe to her blog.  Check out her blog, she will have full details on how to receive these sheets  I also added some glitter here and there on the roses to finish the card.  Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day.  Jonelle  :)

Celebrating 50!

Good Monday morning!  My brother-in-law just celebrated his young age of 50, here's the card I made for him.  The card base is Basic Black and I sponged all the edges with Soft Suede ink from Stampin' Up.  The designer paper is from Graphic 45.  I used Labels 18 from Spellbinders and added a sentiment from Close to My Heart.  The little gears I found at Home Depot (not sure what the name of these critters are) and the larger one I got at a bolt supply store.  I painted them with gold and then dabbed them with gold stickles.  The numbers are stickers I picked up at Wal-Mart.  Hope you like my card and enjoy your day!  Jonelle  :)

Thinking Of You

Good Tuesday morning!  I'm sharing a card that I made for a good friend of mine. it was her birthday recently and this is the card I came up with.   The card base is Bravo Burgundy.  The next layer is done using the Belleek Technique.  I used Naturals Ivory and River Rock ink, the embossing folder is from Cuttlebug.  All I do for this is, ink up the flat side of the embossing folder, insert the card stock and run it through my big shot---it's just that easy!  I sponged all my edges with Vintage Photo distress ink from Tim Holtz.  I added a Fancy Tags ll, and an oval from Spellbinders.  The small oval is a punch, and sentiment are from Stampin' Up.  Just to add a little bling, I added  rhinestones and some Vintage Photo stickles.  Hope you like my card and have a crafty day!  Jonelle  :)
