Create with TLC: Direction of your heart

Greetings!

Happy Thursday to you!  I can't believe that May is quickly winding down.  I will have a birthday coming up here pretty soon.  Hmmm...maybe some birthday blog candy will be up for grabs. :-)  Also, you will definitely want to pop in this weekend as I join MayzyArt's talented DTs for a blog hop.  There is plenty of yummy goodies up for grabs so you don't want to miss out on hopping with us.  :-)

Today, I want to share with you a couple of cards I made using a freebie wordart from Paulette over at Create with TLC.  I find inspiration everyone and in almost anything.  When I read this sentiment, all kinds of inspirational ideas popped in my head and I still have more to execute. 

Here are my creations...

As you can see, they are really simple cards but the message is powerful.  I cut out the hearts and arrows using my Cameo.  I used Bazzill cardstock on both cards and really didn't have a size or shape in mind.  I just focused on the sentiment and how I wanted to represent it.  I realized that I didn't use any markers on embellies on these cards, once I finished them.  These are truly CAS cards. :-)

Thanks for looking and commenting!

Smile...It's Free!

Greetings!

With the current economy and everyone saving every penny they can get their hands on, take comfort in knowing that Smiles are free!  Yep, they don't cost a thing.  Sooo, this smiles on me and feel free to give it away.

I used the outline from some stickers to create this card.  I typed up the sentiment "it's free" on the computer and punched it out using the SU tag punch and threaded it through some twine.  Walah!  Here's another simple card that is so quick and cool to make.  I am learning that in order to pull off a CAS card you need to either have a sentiment that can stand on its or an image that can do the same.

THANKS

Greetings!

I have yet another CAS card using my sticker stash.  I can't believe how quick and easy it is to create these cards.  I am always in need of a Thank you card and so this will definitely be put to good use.

I used my CTMH acrylic stamps to add the "many" and "for your kindness."  Punched a border using a SU punch and *walah* another card created.  I love the colors in the letters "thanks."  It gave me a lot of color options to choose from.

U & ME

Greetings!

Today I share with you another CAS card.  I am really cleaning out my stash by making these simple cards.  I have several other CAS card ideas that I hope to make.

This is such a colorful fun card.  Although, this may make a perfect Valentine's Day card, I think it is also a good everyday card for someone special.  I used some stickers from my stash.

Vintage Valentine

Greetings!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner.  I purchased MME "Lost and Found" 6 x6 paper pack and it had some yummy papers that are perfect for Valentine's Day.  I actually used the paper as my inspiration for this vintage card.

I used some leftover scraps from other projects and rounded the edges with a corner punch.  I also used some lace and punched out a heart.  I think the background dp makes it very vintage.

Cards from Scraps

Greetings!

Today I am sharing with you 3 cards that I made using scraps of (colorful) cardstock.  I am still on my CAS kick so these cards are super simple and very quick to make.  

My first card is a cute twist on a Valentine Day card. 

My second card is just strips of cardstock with a ribbon.  Very simple, but effective I think.

This card would be an excellent masculine inspirational/encouragement card.  I love this random color combo I came up with.  I really think they work well together.

I hope these cards inspired you to pull out your scraps and create.  I will definitely be whipping out some more of these as they only took me a few minutes to create.  I love cards like this because since I make cards, people think I always have them available.  I could easily add a sentiment to these (last one has one already) and make them a birthday, thinking of you, get well, etc.  I used Marco cardstock, SU punches and stamp, CTMH twine amd SU ribbon.

Happy Bday Jerry!

Greetings!

Happy Tuesday!  Today is my oldest brother's birthday so I am sharing a bday card with you today.  I wouldn't give him this particular card because it is too girlie; however, I will make him another card using a car image.  He loves cars and has worked as an Engineer at General Motors for 30 plus years. 

The card that I am sharing with you today was created using some stickers from my stash.  I was looking for something else and found these tucked away in one of my craft cubbies. 

After I took a picture of this card, cropped it and added my signature, I realized that I forgot to pop the insert out one of the Ps.  I didn't think that it took away from the card, so I didn't bother retaking the picture.  I love how colorful and playful this card is and how very simple it was to create.  I used CTMH stamps to add "Have a" and "birthday" to the card.

Well, Happy birthday Jerry and your banana pudding is on its way!
