Recycled Calendar = Quick Cards

Hi, everyone!  Today I would like to share several quick cards which were created with a recycled wall calendar.  Each year I choose calendars with the following credentials: I love to look at them each day and I know I will be able to make cool cards with them after they are finished!  I also love that the pages are more sturdy than designer paper.  Since the pages are slick, I always use Stazon permanent ink so that they do not smudge. All of the dies used are from Divinity Designs LLC; most of the stamps are from Divinity Designs; a few are from Altenew.

Thanks for stopping by!

The Good Book

Hi, everyone! This week's Ways To Use It Challenge theme over at Splitcoast is 'Book Club'....anything book related. When I create cards for my family, I always ask if they have a request for theme, colors, etc. My brother-in-law is a pastor; he immediately asked for a 'King James Bible' card.  I dug through some old tax boxes to find a yearly planner book and tore off the cover since it had the perfect texture to look like a Bible cover!  The rectangles and cross dies are from Divinity Designs LLC and the letter dies are from Top Dog Dies.  The tassel was made from gold cording....it matches the gold foil cardstock  in the real, but not in the photo, unfortunately. On the inside a scripture verse stamp and birthday greeting were used.

God Made The Horse

Happy Saturday, everyone! This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from Lumas.....when I saw this awesome photo, it reminded me of one of the calendar pages I saved from last year. This was perfect to make a birthday card for my horse-loving niece! The scene from the calendar page was cut with a Pierced Rectangle Die, layered on an ivory panel cut with a Matting Rectangle.  The quote is from 'Saddle Up'; (stamps and dies are from Divinity Designs LLC)'.  Brown gingham ribbon was added for the finishing touch; a Bow Easy was used for the bow.

Inspiration Challenge Birthday Card

I was beginning to have "Challenge Withdrawal"! I've been working to get my magazine projects finished for the December issue of Christian Papercrafts Magazine, that I haven't even looked at any challenges this week......until I realized that I needed a birthday card for today for my nephew, Caleb. The inspiration challenge today over at Splitcoast was to choose an item from the TracyPorter website......wow, a lot of awesome stuff on there!! I wasn't sure what to make for a four-year-old's birthday card, UNTIL I saw the colors of this dinner set....perfect for a southwestern scene with Lightning McQueen from CARS!
I cut Lightning and the banner from a birthday invitation since I didn't have a stamp, sticker, or anything else to use. The background scene was sponged using some masks I cut a few months ago to make this birthday card for my mom.

Ooooh, by the way, Our Daily Bread Designs website is back up, but there are a few bugs to work out. If you would like to order anything from the store, please call Kelley directly with your order and it will ship out the next business day. Thanks so much for your patience!!

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a blessed weekend!
