This was from a set of stationary I made as a gift around Christmastime last year.<br />To make the Limelight Monogram card, you will need:<br />-card stock<br />-2 different coordinating scrapbook papers<br />-rhinestones in a coordinating color<br />-Initial of the person who you are making the card for - this one was a rub-on initial. Many times, you can find sets of initials and they are in a sheet that has a variety of different styles and colors.

A company called Doodlebug Design, Inc. makes them. There are other vendors out there as well. They are great little <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">embellishments</span> for adding to flourishes in wording (like in the middle of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">O's</span> or at the end of the serifs, like in an "S") or you can also add them to showcase the design of a paper or make a design all your own. I often use them on the corners of cards, on the corners of text cutouts or even along the edges. They come in a sheet that has a variety of sizes and they come in an array of colors.<br />One important thing to note is that they are fairly heavy if you use more than a couple on a card. So, if you are planning to mail your card, it may require extra postage. This past Christmas, I mailed about 50 handmade cards and all but 3 required extra postage. But, I heard from many people who received the cards, that they were pleasantly <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">surprised</span> and were planning to frame my holiday greeting work of art.<br /><div></div>nat2377http://www.blogger.com/profile/06226560404753240956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196541884261627780.post-61256457875719718942008-07-24T14:41:00.002-05:002008-07-24T14:49:12.513-05:00Scrapbooking or Card Making Fiber<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_REHMwh-zVmc/SIjbBcYnmEI/AAAAAAAAAD0/21ZV3q8vG7g/s1600-h/web-basic-grey-mellow-fiber.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226668185409263682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_REHMwh-zVmc/SIjbBcYnmEI/AAAAAAAAAD0/21ZV3q8vG7g/s400/web-basic-grey-mellow-fiber.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is one of my favorite companies for fiber - It's called <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">BasicGrey</span> and this happens to be "Mellow". These are great for scrapping and greeting cards because they are usually in some sort of color scheme (for those of us who are color-challenged!) and you can use them together or separate them. They just add that little something extra and really give your greetings and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">scrappings</span> a personal feel and touch.<br />I often use my little <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">hole punch</span> and add a tiny bit to a corner or glue a little remnant horizontally or vertically across the card.<br />For Christmas last year, I used a full length to hang a custom-made decoupaged canvas. I used some glittered letters and some Christmas scrapbooking papers to create some holiday-inspired decor.<br />I googled this company and there are many, many websites that sell BasicGrey fibers - many times on sale.<br />Let your imagination go and create something beautiful and personalized!nat2377http://www.blogger.com/profile/06226560404753240956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196541884261627780.post-24932951890920900592008-07-24T14:29:00.002-05:002008-07-24T14:39:51.582-05:00Blue and Green Birthday Wishes - Birthday Card<a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_REHMwh-zVmc/SIjZIYzILHI/AAAAAAAAADs/K3N3L3mJLXQ/s1600-h/Blue-and-Green-Birthday-Wishes---Birthday-Card.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226666105682537586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_REHMwh-zVmc/SIjZIYzILHI/AAAAAAAAADs/K3N3L3mJLXQ/s400/Blue-and-Green-Birthday-Wishes---Birthday-Card.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is the first card where I used the 3-D Glue Dots. It's a little difficult to tell from the picture, but the blue diamond and the green scalloped card stock that says "Happy Birthday" are standing away from the card in 3-D fashion. To make the Blue and Green Birthday Wishes card, you will need:<br />-Brown pre-made card or card stock<br />-2 different coordinating scrapbooking papers - These two came from Archiver's.<br />-A light blue small piece of card stock (Actually, this is a great place to use scraps from previously made cards. That's why I keep almost all my scraps.)<br />-A lime green small piece of card stock<br />-Green rhinestones<br />-Happy Birthday stamp or marker in coordinating color if you wish to write your birthday words<br />- Glue Dots 3-D adheasives (See previous post. I got mine at Archiver's.)<br /><br />That's it!

There are many of you that have probably already used them. But, these little <a href="http://www.gluedots.com/display/router.aspx?docid=45">glue dots </a>are great for adding dimension to your scrapbook pages and cards. They come in a sheet that is perforated and you peel one side off, stick it to whatever you want to be 3-D, peel off the other side and mount it. They are wonderful. I picked these up at Archiver's on my scrapbooking/cardmaking supply trip this last weekend. I've already used them on two different cards!<br /><br /><div></div>nat2377http://www.blogger.com/profile/06226560404753240956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196541884261627780.post-18479564530944370592008-07-17T11:31:00.002-05:002008-07-17T11:39:38.606-05:00Margaritaville - Encouragement Card<a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_REHMwh-zVmc/SH90FbrnNyI/AAAAAAAAADQ/DhjyVGtyr_s/s1600-h/Margaritaville+-+Encouragement+Card.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224021729451915042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_REHMwh-zVmc/SH90FbrnNyI/AAAAAAAAADQ/DhjyVGtyr_s/s400/Margaritaville+-+Encouragement+Card.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is a great little card for someone who is having a bad day (or month!) and likes her share of limes and tequila!

In my experience, the hair dryer will not work.)<br />- Fabric ribbon in coordinating color<br />-Hole punch<br /><br />When it comes to showing someone that you care, a hand-made card means so much more.<br />Happy creating!nat2377http://www.blogger.com/profile/06226560404753240956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196541884261627780.post-19801602461683176652008-07-16T14:44:00.003-05:002008-07-16T14:52:54.730-05:00Daddy's Girl Valentine's Day Card<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_REHMwh-zVmc/SH5P3yLbfuI/AAAAAAAAACo/9J8UwDi5THs/s1600-h/Daddy%27s+Girl-+Valentine%27s+Day+Outside.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223700437577465570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_REHMwh-zVmc/SH5P3yLbfuI/AAAAAAAAACo/9J8UwDi5THs/s400/Daddy%27s+Girl-+Valentine%27s+Day+Outside.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_REHMwh-zVmc/SH5P4UiJGbI/AAAAAAAAACw/2uT__Mjehrs/s1600-h/Daddy%27s+Girl+-+Valentine%27s+Day.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223700446799534514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_REHMwh-zVmc/SH5P4UiJGbI/AAAAAAAAACw/2uT__Mjehrs/s400/Daddy%27s+Girl+-+Valentine%27s+Day.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is a great little card that I made for my Dad this past Valentine's Day.

Here is the list of items you will need to create a card like this:</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">- Card Stock in desired color (I used a pre-made card bought at a craft store - Michael's, Hobby Lobby etc. - I used orange)</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">- A piece of patterned velum paper (this is the pink polka-dot paper)</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">- A piece of patterned card stock or scrapbooking paper (this is the black/silver glitter paper)</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">- 2 smaller pieces of card stock - 2 different colors (pink and black cardstock)</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">- 4 Coordinating rhinestones (for the corners - I used pink)</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">- Dimensional sticker/embellishment</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">- Inspirational saying in rub-on format</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">-Coordinating ribbon (I used pink)</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">- Scrapbooking scissors in desired pattern (I used a scalloped pattern)</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">- Hole punch</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">It is much easier to make a card like this if you start picking out your paper first. I have found that many craft and scrapbooking stores tend to put coordinating papers together. Pick out a few you like, then you can go after your regular colored card stock and embellishments.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Velum is a little tricky when you are using adhesive. Just make sure you are using one that disappears after it dries and doesn't leave a spot under the velum so you can see where it's adhered. For this one, I think I actually put the glue in the middle, so that it didn't matter if you could see it after drying.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Happy creating. Please let me know if you have questions!</span></span>nat2377http://www.blogger.com/profile/06226560404753240956noreply@blogger.com0
