Scrap card!

I made this card using scraps from my craft table.  The Winter Frost DSP is leftover from my Christmas cards.  They were already 1 1/2" wide, so I just had to trim them down to 3 3/4".  I adhered them to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Island Indigo cardstock.  I tied Coastal Cabana ribbon around that and adhered it to a Coastal Cabana cardbase.

The flower from Secret Garden and the Island Indigo punched flower were already on my craft table.  I added the Smoky Slate scallop circle and a silver button (from the Occasions Mini) tied with Island Indigo bakers twine.

Happy stamping!

 

 

Make a Wish watercolor card

This card was inspired by one that Lyssa Zwolanek posted on Facebook.  She has a watercolor drip tutorial on her blog, Song of My Heart Stampers.  I did mine a little bit differently than hers; mine was more coloring and less dripping, LOL. The ink colors I used were Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo, and Elegant Eggplant. I colored each band with ink and an aquapainter.  I added water to the paper before adding the ink, and then I squeezed the aquapainter a bit to make the drips.

The cardbase is Daffodil Delight.  I added a layer of Basic Black to make the colors pop then put the watercolor paper on top.

I stamped the sentiment from Perfect Pennants with VersaMark and embossed with black EP.  I cut it out with the Big Shot and Chalk Talk framelits then added a loop of Daffodil Delight seam binding ribbon behind it.  The final touch is Candy Dots in the corners.

Happy stamping!

You make me happy!

I made this card for Mama using products from the new Occasions catalog and Saleabration catalog.

The cardbase is Soft Sky, and I embossed hearts on the bottom using the Big Shot and Adorning Accents embossing folder.  I also added Daffodil Delight binding ribbon.

The sun is made with a paper doily that I sponged with Daffodil Delight ink.  I cut the edge with the new fringe scissors.

The sentiment is from a SAB set, See Ya Later.  Mama used to sing You Are My Sunshine to me when I was little, so I thought of her right away when I saw that sentiment!  I colored it with Pool Party, Calypso Coral, and Basic Gray markers.  I layered the sentiment on top of a tag made from Sweet Sorbet DSP (from SAB) and cut out with Chalk Talk framelits.

Happy stamping!

Lovely as a Tree!

This is a birthday card for my brother-in-law, Paul.  Again, I used the Thankful Tablescape kit from the Holiday Catalog.  It is just perfect for masculine cards!

The cardbase is Crumb Cake.  I used the paper ribbon and orange strips from the kit.  I stamped the pinecones from Lovely as a Tree randomly on the cardbase.  The tree is Always Artichoke and Early Espresso stamped on Confetti White cardstock.  I distressed the edges and added some Soft Suede ink then popped it up with dimensionals.

I hope Lovely as a Tree never retires!  Happy stamping!

Awesome card

I recently got the Yippee Skippee stamp set, and while I was looking at it, I realized that it would be easy to combine parts of the different sentiments together.  That's what I did on this card.  It's for my awesome son, Daniel.

The cardbase is Summer Starfruit, and the DSP is Soho Subway.  I adhered the DSP to the cardbase then ran it through the Big Shot with the Alphabet Press embossing folder and sanded it lightly.

The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso and Island Indigo, cut out with a framelit, then I added Early Espresso ink to the edges.

Happy stamping!

 

Another file folder card

I made this card for Mama for her birthday.  These are her favorite colors!  The cardbase is Coastal Cabana, and I used Winter Frost DSP with silver ribbon.

Happy stamping!

Fun birthday card

Here's a fun, clean and simple birthday card!  I started with a  3 1/2 X 5 card.  I stamped the splatter from Gorgeous Grunge in Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, and Pacific Point.  The sentiment from Bombs Away Birthday is stamped in white craft ink onto a premade piece from the Thankful Tablescape kit.

Happy stamping!
