You and Me Card

Another card inspired by one done by Vicki Bridges from And Bear Makes 3.  I printed the sentiments with my computer.  The stamps are from Hero Arts.

Cardz to Go! Kit

I've posted before about a stamp store in Moore, OK named And Bear Makes 3.  The artist that teaches there designs card kits.  All the materials, detailed instructions and photographs of the finished cards are packed into a gift bag.  If stamps are used on the cards, you get those also.  The price of the kits is very reasonable so when I see a new one that I like, I pick one up while in the shop or call and they just mail it to me.  The owner is also super nice about ordering stamps for me via the phone and mailing them.  You know, when you don't have any type of craft shop nearby, online and phone shopping gets used a lot!

Vicki Bridges is the artist;  she has a Facebook page called Mizbizibee's Little Bees where she posts her class information and previews the card kits.

These cards are from her Old Shoes Kit.  The kit makes six A6 cards.  The only supplies not in the kit are adhesive, markers and inks.  I used Promarkers to color the boots and hat, Colorbox ink for the edges, and Memento ink to distress the background.

The vintage look is what I'm enjoying doing most these days.  Gotta love Graphic 45 papers!  

Vellum Overlay Cards

Vicki Bridges, who teaches at And Bear Makes 3, designed these cards for one of her classes.  The stamps are Scripty Stems by Stampendous.  The papers I used are Coredinations and Stampin' Up with a vellum overlay.  Some of the cards have dots done with Pearl Pens for accents.  I used Rose Red Momento ink and Chestnut Brown Colorbox Chalk inks.

The stamp set has several different script sentiments so I'm going to get a lot of use from this set.

Vintage Cards

I think I've found a new love, Ranger printed tissue paper!  These are my version of the cards designed by Vicki Bridges at And Bear Makes 3.  Since I knew that I wouldn't be able to attend her class, I ordered the class kit and stamps to use at home.

She puts together great kits for her classes and gives you an instruction sheet with photos to use as a guide.  You also get extra embellishments to further personalize your cards.

I'm really pleased with the way these turned out!
