Taylor!

(Catchupmageddon Post). Badge card for a Taylor Swift fan! I love making badge cards but I admit they take A LOT of work compared to other cards. It is very time consuming if I need to research the artist/band in depth before I know where to start.

I love a bit of TS but I didn't know nearly enough about her songs or lyrics to make this, so I went on a mad research-fest and began to find cool things I could include in a Reputation Tour themed card.

After creating it in Paint Shop Pro I printed my main background graphic onto glossy photo paper. I thought the glossy shine went with the black and white graphics. It looked a bit like an album cover before the badges went on.

All the badges included words or lyrics (or symbols) from the  Reputation Tour. I have a Bandai Badge Maker that I use to make the badges. I fasten them to the card but so they are easy to detach and then can be worn (like a mini-birthday present).

New Home!

Card I made for my friend Norms, for her new home :D

So a little bit inspired by "Up" but using a balloon die by Joy and a silhouette house cut out by me! Background is distress reinkers on glossy card stock. Clouds by Joy too.

Think I can confirm I am a fan of Joy dies, they cut out brilliantly.  Because the die is meant to show the embossing, which on the black was a bit indistinct, I actually cut out around the balloons a little.

Condolences.

Sad news meant making a sympathy card for a friend.

Background made with distress reinkers on glossy card. Silhouette images stamped in Staz-on. Stamps by Sheena Douglass -  A Little Bit Sketchy, Sihouette Wildflowers. Added stickles in purple and used my white posca pen for the spots.
