Just Because - Thinking of you Owl

Sussann, from the VDBC Creative Team, recently had some bumps with her computer and digital cutter. I am super happy to see she has it back in gear and working again.

This was her most recent card and it fits well with the Just Because theme of this week.

This is what Sussann had to say about her project.

"How cute is this owl?! This is part of a cutter file that was included in Chris Durnan's Quarterly Membership Club. I cut him out, pin-stitched and chalked the edges. I layered him on a torn and inked piece of patterned paper. I stamped the Thinkin' of you! sentiment on a torn, inked piece of cardstock and pop-dotted it on the card."

I really could never make it all happen without the VDBC creative team and awesome forum members.

Thank you Sussann !!

They are just awesome. I hope you enjoy the cute card.

Enjoy! Chris, Visual Designs by Chris

This week we are celebrating birthdays!  I don't know about you but I am always in need of birthday cards ESPECIALLY for my male friends and family members.  Soooooo, I decided that for my post I would challenge myself to make a more masculine birthday card.

Father’s Day Card

Darla back with you today with a fun Father’s Day card.

My husband and my Dad are both very handy and spend lots of time building things or fixing things for people (including me). Their to-do lists often get very very long and both are kind hearted enough to put their to-do lists before themselves (most of the time). I decided to use the concept of putting away the to-do list as the starting point, added in a sketch from my new co-hosted sketch challenge blog and voila!

Darla - Caution: Crafting is Contagious!

If you’d like to see more details on how I made this card or the sketch I used please visit my blog Caution: Crafting is Contagious!

Shadow Inked Sympathy Card

Greetings from Michigan!  It's Cindy, your card designer for today.  No one likes having to send out a sympathy card but they truly can bring comfort to a grieving person.  And since the need for these can be unexpected, it's always good to have a quick and easy--yet elegant--technique up your sleeve.  I have all the details on that technique and this card over on my blog, THE CREATIVE POINTE.

Happy Thoughts

Good Morning Everyone!

This morning I am posting a Sympathy card for you.  It may not be as traditional as you might expect but I really like it.  Remember that Sympathy cards aren't just sent for the loss of a loved one.  They can be for the loss of a job, an opportunity, etc.

I was inspired by a card I saw in an online class I took through Online Card Classes.  This was a great class that really gave me a lot of ideas.
