I whipped up about 6 of these in no time....well hardly any time. I stamped and coloured the flower. After all the ink was dry I covered the flower with tombo mono and glitter that matched. Using scraps I matted some patterned paper and put a band of ribbon around the card....voila a quick set of retro cards ready for any occasion!

Watercolour fairies
These fairies were so fun! First I watercolored the wings using stampin up watercolored crayons. Once the wings were dry I used sticklers to bling them up a bit. I trimmed each image to approximately the same size. I used DCWV Once Upon a Time paper pack (it's an oldie but a goodie)! In truth I found odds and ends that matched each theme around the house (flowers, bling). The inside of the cards are plain with an embellishment from the front, such as a stamped swirl.
Happy scrapping and may you have all your wishes come true!
Cheers

Giant Band Aid
Who likes to be under the weather? No one!
This card was made using recollections card stock. While I was trimming the card to fit a no. 10 envelope I also trimmed the "pad" for the front. After stamping the airplane with Versamark; I drew circles all over with a white signo gel pen. I rounded all corners with a corner chomper. Using tombo mono to glue the google eyes into place. I used pebbles dry chalk to make the cheeks rosey and a liquid fine liner for the stitching and mouth.
This card was fun to make and easy to make a few at a time, if needed.
Hope everyone stays warm, safe and germ free!
Cheers

Three friends
This card came together because I did it a bit at a time. It is a standard size card and as I was waiting for things to dry or heat up I just would do another bit on it. Most of the products are recollections from Michael's. So without further adieu.
Cheers to all

Bird love
I loved making this card! In this frigid weather it was super cute to see that two love birds could cozy up with one another! This digi stamp camp from All That Scraps, another favourite store of mine. I have noticed that I especially like images that are clear line images with clean images- Digi Garden and All That Scraps are two sites I clearly recommend. That little ramble aside here is the sweetest little love birds around!
As always....or most often I also posted a pic of the inside too. Enjoy

UR Outta this World
I loved making this Valentine because it uses one of my favourite past designers- Polycraft! I absolutely love her creations (even though I don't know her name??? Anyone?). Plus, making a "boy" theme was a challenge! ;0)
Hope you enjoy another creation from the scrapshack

From the Heart
Of course I used Digi Garden's sweet girls to create this card! I have been making easel cards to distribute as they are different than traditional and have just enough room for a sweet note to your hunch-ka-bunch;0)
I used fancy pants paper for the background and some paper purchased for the Cricut (years ago). The flower is from doodlebug designs and the button, thread, journaling spot and note paper are unknown.

Hearts A Flutter
My grandmother loved this card! It was made for a Valentines but instead she got it for her birthday. Using no sentiment allows cards to sometimes be so versatile. I used Claudine Helsmouth's canvas and a punch to create the heart. Then I just used acrylic paint to finish it OSS dusting with a bit of glitter....bling makes people sooooooooo happy:).

Angels among us.....lol
I am not sure how your Holidays went but mine went by in a blur......as well as when I was a child! The magic was absolutely there but all the days before we're almost painful. Waiting for Santa to arrive then the big day finally got here! Only to realize that a day or two later parents could no longer use the "you better be good because Santa is watching (although I am sure they tried....lol". This card's sentiment made me feel just that way! Lets face it being good is hard work!
Shake-shake-skate it up
This Christmas card was so fun to make! I totally forgot about some of the things I was taught when I first started scrapbooking and crafting! This card also used some embossing which I forget about from time to time. It adds just enough texture that it allows all the elements to shine individually or as a group. Hope you enjoy this card too:)
As a crafter just learning more about card elements I loved making this card! Seeing little ones interact with it was definitely the highlight for me! Enjoy another craft by Tarah! I sure hope you are bundled up nice and warm because it is a clear but f-r-e-e-z-I-n-g day here.
Cheers to everyone.
