Digital Card Making with PSP
I love making my own greetings cards and thought that the card challenges would be a lot of fun. I have a lot of paper and pens...and the other things one would need to make great cards. I found myself trying to keep up with what is new on the market... then I realize all the stuff, the papers, glue, and stamps were getting very costly and I was running out of space to store it all.
That is when I decided to make elements for my cards in Paint Shop Pro aka PSP. PSP is a software that I have been teaching myself since version 3. Now using version 13 I have learned that the program can also create images and paint them as well. Light bulb went off...why not use it to make my cards and not just some elements for the cards. And so digital card making began for me...and boy has it saved me money.
This blog now consist of my creations that I have made using nothing but PSP. I found the challenge for me is to teach myself how to meet the different card challenges within PSP.
Well that is how all this digital stuff began...Just thought I share.

Happy B-Day
It took me a few days to figure out how I was going to add a charm to my card, but I am glad I did now I can combine a couple of more challenges with this one.
Allsorts...Sketch
Simon Says...Add a Charm
The Color Dare...Soft Suede,Night of Navy,Pear Pizzazz
For this challenge I used a digi kit for the most part, even though I did have to change a few colors so it would work. The heart charm I got from the internet, it did not have a chain so I had to remember how to create one using PSP. I guess it turned out ok.

Thank You
With this entry I used the Color Dare challenge colors, Peach Parfait, Rich Razzleberry, and Sahara Sand. I also applied the challenges from Simon Says and Papercraft Star which both had the theme of Thank You with the addition of dry embossing, die cut, metal and anything else for the Papercraft Star.
For the paper I used the colors to create stripes. I punched out a circle from copper sheeting creating the background for the flower punches. I also used the copper to emboss my sentiment on. The ribbon was created from a strip of the gray and then crimped and a strip of the purple was added.

What Can I Do?
The colors this week at The Color Dare are:
Old Olive
Rose Red
Elegant Eggplant
Not Quite Navy
I found this image in my stash, it appears to have 3 of the colors required for this challenge. Even though red is not in the picture adding the red background paper and ribbon really added a punch...don't you agree?

Merry Christmas Dear FRIEND
I am really excited about this card I did for two challengesThe Color Dare challenge. The colors for this challenge are Very Vanilla, Pretty in Pink, Cherry Cobbler,and Garden Green and the Simon Says Challenge which is the theme Holiday Fun. The reason why I am so excited I taught myself a new technique using PSP. I saw the easel cards others had made and I really liked the look, but what I didn't know was how to recreate the look digitally using PSP until now...yippee! Knowing I should be sewing...I worked on it until I got what I thought was the look. What do you think?

Double Challenge
I crossed over and did a little shabby chic for this challenge. It is a double challenge for Simon Says and The Color Dare. Simon Says challenge is to give thanks in some way...make a Thanksgiving theme card or a thank you card. The Color Dare challenge is colors of course and you will find them here.
I found some torn mulberry paper and tattered brown paper in my digi paper stash that I thought would work. I decided to create a piece of white ribbon so now I had all the colors from the required list. To bring it all together, in PSP pattern papers I found a pattern with almost all the reqiured colors the brown was not quit right, after a little this and that it became perfect.
I have met the challenge and my card is done.
