Cardmaking

I'm still doing things with the Cindy Loo cartridge. I read on someones post that before she buys anymore cartridges that she makes at least 10 things from the what she already has. I am trying to follow that rule before I buy anything more.
Using the same color scheme with the polka dot paper, I created this Thanks card. The work Thanks was cut from page 71, font feature. cut @ 1.5" and then ran it through the swiss dots folder. The flower was on page 56 and cut @ 3.5". Added a ribbon on the bottom and then stickled the flowers

These three deer (1 is mirrored image)were also from the Cindy Loo cartridge on page 61. Used the shadow feature and cut out of the three colors because I couldn't decide how I wanted them to look on a card.

Cardmaking

Both of these cards were made from the Cindy Loo collection. Using the same brown and golden yellow card stock for both cards. The size of the cut was made at 4.25" and with the shadow, it is slightly larger. I used the gypsy to cut the designs. The card above, the brown shadow layer was embossed with the swiss dots folder and then the yellow was stickled. Used a brown ink to stamp the Happy birthday and then blended the colors to match the background better.

The tree was stickled and used a brown pen to draw the trunk lines. I did cut another bird out of blue card stock and used a foam to add the dimension and blue ink to shadow the edges. Since I haven't decided what purpose that I was going to use this card for, I left it blank.

This card was created on the Gypsy. This doily3 was a square size on page 70 of the Cindy Loo cartridge, but I changed the size to fit a 5 x 7" card.
Welded the blackout feature to a rectangle from Plantinschool book. The center scroll work is the border feature of this cartridge that I also changed the size to fit the middle section.
Mounted it with foam squares, then stamped a Happy Birthday which is mounted to solid pink and yellow papers. Added a few rhinestones to the centers. I was originally was going to put the deer that I made on this card but decided that I wanted to keep the cuts showing.

Cardmaking

These three cards were from the Cindy Loo cartridge. I was just playing around to see what different looks can be achieved by the same image. There are four different layers involved in putting together the Owl and two layers for the word hi. Different opened card and embossed with the swiss dots folder of the cuddlebug. I used a border punch for the yellow and put it behind the polka dot paper. The paper is what gave me my color combinations.

This card was embossed with two different folders, (swiss dots and divine swirls. Added stickles to the white layers of this card. The Happy Birthday was a stamp and just cut it at a different angle to add another element. All the owls have rhinestone flowers for the eyes.

Cardmaking, general

This is my version of the card that was in the Cindy Loo handbook.

I don't always have the paper illustrated or the supplies so I am trying to use what I have on hand without going and buying more stuff for a project
I did cut out the flower (page 52) in the size of 3.5" that was in the instructions. The lower case hi was cut at 1 3/8". I have been using the Gypsy to design the cards that I make so that I know things will fit in the space that I have on the card stock.
Used a punch for the blue border and cut the leaves(branch) from page 48. Added the stones to the card as a finishing touch.
