Halloween Card Making Series 2012

Hey everyone,

I wanted to wish you all a Happy and safe Halloween on Wednesday! Our kids are ready to go with poodle skirts and pirate costumes. =) I  love fall, though it seems like every Halloween, here in the northwest it rains. Anyhow stay safe out there and don't forget to inspect your kids candy--for chocolate!  =)

In case you have missed my Halloween Card Making series I am posting the videos below:

Happy Birthday with Echo Park's "Happy Days"

Hello Everyone! I hope you are a having a fabulous weekend. I realized I haven't posted in awhile. We have been enjoying our summer and now the kids are really happy to be back to school. Routine is good! I have a lot of fun projects coming up for you. Don't forget that some of my YouTube videos don't make it over to my blog so make sure and subscribe to my channel so you don't miss anything. Happy Creating!

I thought it would be fun to start September out with a cute Happy Birthday card! Picture and YouTube link below:

S.O.S. Moment #1

Tone on Tone
Today I am starting a new series of videos that will be technique videos. Hopefully this series will help you to try something new, reconsider something you have tried before, and/or provide you with some new inspiration.

For today's S.O.S. moment I decided to work on tone on tone. Which means, in this case, using the same color for my focal image, layering, and sentiment. I think it gives a very classic yet simple look. Try it!

Father's Day Card #1 and You're Purrrfect!

Okay, so I have two cards for you to view and watch tutorials for. The first one I made this morning--All My Love on Father's Day. I used a fun stamp pack made by Stampendous, entitled Thanks Dad, and also did some fun paper piecing. The second card I made last week using the Nifty Fifty's cartridge (You're Purrrfect!) and didn't get a chance to post it on my blog. Enjoy! And please join my blog or stop on over and join my YouTube channel: Cathi Judd's YouTube Channel

I hope everyone is having a fabulous Wednesday!

Cuttlebug, Cricut, and Copics! Oh My!

I live in the great state of Washington! We sure get our more than fair share of rain...but I must confess I love it! It's a good thing I live in the northwest. We have recently had a week or so of sunny weather and then rain for the last two days...and with it a lot of complainers. I guess this has always bothered me. When I went to  college in Idaho I remember my roommates thinking it was weird that I knew when it was going to rain--I could just smell it. I love how it smells so sweet just before and after the rain comes. Anyhow I find myself incredibly grateful for the rain and find myself lucky to live in such a green area...just taking time to "find beauty in all things".  And that is the inspiration for my card today!

Thank You Card! With Embossing Techniques!

Really enjoying a gorgeous sunny day here in the northwest which of course makes me happy, so happy that I started thinking of a few people I needed to send some thank you cards too.

I love playing around with different ways to emboss on a project. On this card I heat embossed, used a stylus to create my own embossed design and used my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder.

A picture of my card and a Tutorial are below:

Watch my tutorial below to see what other techniques I used on this card. =)
