We Did It! By Marj Banzales

 

Hi friends! I'm back again for another project inspiration. I made this card using CCC #135 Makers Gonna Make, CCC April Members Exclusive Bunny Kisses 2021, and CCC # 17 Back to School.

I made this card to congratulate the students who are finishing school this year. They deserve to be congratulated for a job well done.

To know more about how I made this card, you can check out my blog.

Thank you for stopping by and I'll see you again next time.

XOXO

Index card time!

 

These are today's makes for Oddball Art Co - Our Oddball theme for June 2021 is 

HIP HIP HOORAY ~ SUMMER CELEBRATIONS

Yes, I know it's June but I am still using the

 MAY MEMBERS EXCLUSIVE CALLED CREEPY VS CUTE

 - both images -

I have already used this set for a pair of ATCs - find the post here

 and the paper clip card - find the post here

But I am doing that ICAD thing - and I thought these images would be perfect on Index Cards.

So here we have two index cards - small pieces of art on cards, 5 inches by 3 inches.

Notice Mister Spiky has turned up again!

These Index Cards are similar to my ATCs but I have used Gelli print backgrounds rather that papers from my stash, and coloured the images with markers rather than my shimmery watercolours.

Step ONE

Print the images and colour with markers.

Step TWO

Fussy cut the images using scissors and a craft knife.

Step THREE

Using my Gelli plate and acrylics make some pulls. Choose appropriate ones and cut to size. Adhere to the index cards.

The first one is acrylic paint with marks made with some home-made hot glue stamps. The second is acrylic paint with marks made with some commercial foam stamps.

Step FOUR

Add the sunflowers to the backgrounds.

Step FIVE

Add sentiments - printed, trimmed, distressed along the edges with black ink and with a couple of embellishments.

Hi!

One more day I bring you a little inspiration with Oddball Stamps.

Today the protagonist of this card is the image# 364 Dog & Cat Dance Norah’s - Dance with Cooper & Cruz that I have transformed into a graduation greeting card in a very simple way.

As always, I started by coloring the stamps with my Finecolour.

Once they were cut out, I cut a panel the size of the white cardboard card and with a pencil I drew a banner where I wrote the sentiment I wanted to add with a simple lettering. I also drew a fine line where the outline of the lawn would go.

I went over everything with a fine point black eyeliner and colored with my alcohol markers.

I glued the stamps with white glue and added a cap that I drew, colored and cut out of a scrap of white cardboard.

As you can see, it is very simple and versatile, because it is used both for a graduation and for any other event that you want to congratulate.

I hope you like it and inspire you and remember that you have the discount code DTIRENE10 for your purchases, the hashtag #creepycutechronicles to share your work and a lot of monthly challenges on the Oddball Spaces site.

See you!

That Cute Sunflower!

Ever since I made the ATCs above - you will find that post here - I have had an idea in my head. Finally I am going to share it with you...

This card includes a 'gift' as it has a decorated paperclip attached.

It is today's makes for Oddball Art Co - Our Oddball theme for this month is 

Flowers and Sunshine

I am using the MAY MEMBERS EXCLUSIVE CALLED CREEPY VS CUTE

 - just the cute image!

Step ONE

Print the image several times and colour with markers and fineliners. Attach to a large paperclip using hot glue. I added cardboard circles to each side of the paperclip with a cardboard filler in between. I then added images and raffia to each side, doubling up the images to make more petals. I then added pearls to define the eyes.

Step TWO

Prepare the back ground. I wanted a really colourful, sunshiny background and having watched a you-tube video by Carolyn Dube I decided to make some hot glue stamps on cardboard and use them on my Gelli plate. I tried to make some floral shapes as well as more abstract shapes.

Step THREE

I then brayered paint onto my Gelli plate in bright colours, removed some of the paint with the stamps and made a few pulls.

 The one I am using for this card is this:

I hope you can see some of the floral images...

Step FOUR

Using a craft card, I cut a horizontal line across the front and glued the top flap down. I then added sections of the background to it.

Step FIVE

I clipped on the paperclip
