Welcome to Cards by Amy K.

I am SO GLAD you stopped by to check out my blog!!! Here I will be posting my current projects for you to see. PLEASE feel free to leave me a comment. I would LOVE to hear what you think about what I'm working on. I have been a scrapbooker/paper crafter since I first caught wind of this wonderful hobby in 2006. I am lucky enough to get to spend my days doing something I love so much and which brings so much joy into my life. I first started scrapbooking as a way to pass the time as I found myself at home alone all day suddenly, now I can't imagine life without it. Too bad I don't get paid for it, then I really would have it all!!!

Birthday card for uncle Tim 2010

Another Birthday card for ya.  This one is for my uncle, Tim.  I hope he enjoys it.  I tried to capture his down home style in this card.  Tim's just what we call a good 'ole country boy.   I love him to death.  He's just one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. This card was late, like all of them have been this year. lol.
I made this card using Tim Holtz' lost and found paper collection for the calendar page and the back ground was GA pacific white card stock that I colored with my Tim holtz distress inks in aged mahogany, chipped sapphire and wild honey.  I used some various stamps on the background from 7 gypsies and making memories in dark brown chalk ink from clear snap.  I used the time pieces clock face from Tim Holtz and the sentiment stamp is from inkadinkado and is stamped in blue dye ink from clearsnap.   I used the cricut to cut out the shape of the sentiment from the sentimentals cartridge.  Just added some ribbons for trim and that was all.  I hope you enjoy this little card. thanks for stopping by.  Hugs., Amy k

  1. Oh girl, you did a good job on this card. I love how you used the distress inks for the background and what a nice touch with the watch face on the front. You really know how to use that Cricut of yours. Really nice.
