No image cards

A challenge on this Monday. It is the challenge on deconstructingjen.com. I tried not to use stamped images on my cards. There are alternatives and instead of looking helpless when I lack for a coloured image:-) That's when I thought about making some cards without a stamped image on them. The sketch on deconstructingjen.com gave me a good start. I used the Cricut machine to mix and match the layers of the arrow shapes. It is easy to pick and drop the images and see if the smaller size will fit in the larger shape. Then separate them again and cut. All Just a Note card or Just say hi cards; cards you can send on a random occasion. Three of these cards are for a swap. I'll see to whom I'll send the other two cards^_^.
I see I missed the dots on the card. I just added the dots and I also added some 3D Crystal Lacquer on the paper dots. New pictures will be uploaded as soon as the drops are dry.
  

Not so proud of my second attempt of taking pictures of the card with dots:-(


Using my Cricut Expression I cut out this sentiment from the Wild card cartridge.



I used a Inkadinkado clear stamp "Just saying" collection.



I added a pin to this card. I took a long pin and added some beads with 3D Crystal Lacquer. With a
Cuttlebug embossing folder I embossed the white card stock and with a 'Double dies' die cut I created the window. Using my printer and Microsoft Office Word 2007 I printed the greeting on patterned paper. A nice and cheap way to add any text (or image) you prefer to your cards.You can also use different fonts as I did on this card :-))



 Again the 'just a note' cut out of the Wild card cartridge. This time the words are not all welded. For the little hearts I used a paper punch. The white card stock and the hearts are on foam tape.
