Footloose and Fancy, Foil Cards

I hope you are enjoying your Memorial Day weekend.
Despite our local, terrible non-picnic weather, an extra no-school day and a persistent cough, I was able to not only get most of my crafting items reorganized, sorted and repositioned, but I was able to get 3 cards completed and photographed and now, posted on the blog (phew, that was a long sentence!) This card has a very subtle foil finish in white flowers-on-white paper. I used a metallic red paper for both the mat paper and the frame.

Card 2 has silver foil flowers and a contrasting yellow paper. I actually tore the paper for dimension! And this card has turquoise foil ferns on a white background. I used a silver finish paper to punch out labels and made a border with the layered labels. Adhesive gems were added to the label tips.
So, regardless of the state of our weedscaping landscaping, I still feel like I was able to get a few things done this weekend.
Enjoy, and can you believe it's JUNE???!

Star Wars!

I made my nephew a birthday count-down calendar in a Star Wars theme. I took 2 photos of it. You can see the other photo here, and check out the Darth Vader video I posted. I have 3 more calendars to make this year and then I think I'll take a break.

Dancing Robot

Ok...here's the last card. I had a lotta fun making this one.

I made a card with similar paper (same paper line) a while back. I had all this paper I hadn't used so I thought I make another really cute little kid -or someone who really is into retro toys- card.

Enjoy!

Monkey Business

My, oh, my. Busy day celebrating my *ahem* 36th (again) birthday with my boys. They treat me so well!

So, I'll get better photos tomorrow. Off to dinner with the men....

Enjoy!

Youthful cards

I was able to get two cards completed but I'll wait until tomorrow to drag out the photo equipment and get the 2 cards photographed in better light. Here is one card I took photos tonight on my craft table, and it''l do until tomorrow.

I don't know what the underlying theme with this card is...but loved the piggy and had to give him a crown.

Enjoy!

Good Golly!

I spent most of the weekend outside enjoying our wonderful weather. I have a list of things to-do longer than my leg, but I didn't get much done. I was able to garden some and read in the shade of the umbrella- very relaxing. At night, I spent some time crafting and made this Birthday Countdown Calendar for my favorite little lady, Miss Jolly Molly.
I make these for all the little dudes and dudesses in my life. See this post on how they work.

It's very pink and glittery.
She likes pink, so that's o.k. I hope she likes gold glitter.
Happy Birthday, Miss Molly!

Here is card 3...

It is missing one little part, the sentiment strip that I want to wrap around the striped band, but the new printer Mr Dude got for my Mother's day present isn't being seen on the network, so I can't send print jobs. But card 3 still looks nice.

And to follow-up in this post, I'll include card 1 and 2:
