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.

Double Your Pleasure

I was going through my coloring book pages, which I sometimes use for digi image to paint and came across the one that I used for this card. It is so cute I could not resist it. This card I double up on challenges...DYTDSF which the challenge is to use glitter and S2G which is a sketch challenge with a twist. You will find the sketch here and the twist is to add ribbon/ricrac to the project.

I hate that I have to upload my cards so small...the smaller the card is the less of the details you are able to see, but for this one if you click on the picture you will see a larger image. What I wanted you to see is that the fawn is being fed sugar cubes by the little one....I think that is so precious.

I like the image so much I want to share it with you...you will find the link here ENJOY!

S2G - Twisted Thursday

This is my favorite time of the year especially when the weather acts right. I live in NC near the BlueRidge Mountains. This time of the year the leaves colors have changed and are floating in the sun. The crunch I hear as I walk among them. I said all that to say that is what inspired me for this card.

This card is for the S2G sketch challenge (which you will find here) with a twist...and for today the twist is to use Kraft paper on your project. Now I know what kraft paper is...I just did not know it was consider a color. Any way the challenge has been met, my card is complete.

For Charisma Cardz challenge the requirement is No Backing Papers...and S2G Challenge is a sketch challenge with a twist. The twist is you have to use Fun Flock, Flower Soft, Felt or something soft on your card! My something soft is suede brown and rust color fabrics and ribbon. I have met both challenges, and my card is complete.
