Here is a look inside Bette's great card.

Once again, Bette has done a fantastic job at creating unique cards. Thank you Bette.

Gater birthday card by Tammy Maddux

This great birthday card was made using stamps from Art Impressions and Great Impression.  Tammy stamped on canvas paper and colored with Chameleon Alcohol markers.  She used a craft knife to cut the mouth of the gator then glued it to the top of a strip of black card stock so that the mouth could be opened.

Inside of the mouth, she put a small bird on a scrap of black card stock and assembled using the instructions on the gater stamp.

For the inside of the card, she stamp her messages.

Bette's try-fold card.

Bette has brought to us another great card.  This time she has mixed and matched stamps from Art Impressions to make a birthday card try-fold.  She used watercolor paper and colored using crayons, colored pencils, and glitter markers.  She stamped both sides of the paper with the barn on the textured side and the ladies/bench stamps on the smooth side.

Instead of making it a traditional card, she added her message under the barn and behind the ladies then stamped on the back of the card.

Here is a closeup of the back stamp.  Bette also corner punched the top.
Thank you Bette for sharing.

Bette's butterfly birthday

Bette has created another beautiful card.

 

She used dry embossing for the background, butterfly punches, and corner punches. 

 

 

Bette finished the card up with some wonderful stamps.

 

Thank you Bette for bring some great cards to share.

Fab recycled material cards by Bette Olson

 Bette Olson has done it again.  She has made beautiful "Thank you" cards out of things most would toss away.  Her materials for these are barely used paper placemats, pieces of left over card stock, and bits of yarn, burlap, and linen ribbon.  She added some edge punching and ink to really make these cards special.

So, what can you make out of left over bits?
