Glittery masculine card!

I made this card for a friend's birthday, but I forgot to take a picture of it!  I liked it so much that I made another one to share with you.

The cardbase is Crumb Cake, and I stamped the new Hardwood BG on it in Night of Navy.  I stamped the trees in Night of Navy then added two-way glue and Dazzling Diamonds for the glittery snow.  The ribbon is denim.

Happy stamping!

Soho Subway birthday card

Here's my third card using the Soho Subway DSP.  Can you tell that I love it?  The cardbase is Sahara Sand, and I added some Island Indigo ruffled ribbon.  The sentiment is from Label Love and punched with the artisan label punch.  I also punched out an Early Espresso piece then cut it in half to make a border.

Happy stamping!

CAS anniversary card

This card is so simple!  There is no stamping on it at all.  The entire pattern is from Soho Subway DSP.  The cardbase is Island Indigo.  I used the retired slot punch at the fold so I could tie on the new Chevron ribbon from the Occasions catalog.

Happy stamping!

Valentine card!

When I saw this card on Lyssa's blog, I knew it would be the perfect Valentine card!  We made it at my last workshop, and everyone loved it!  The finished card is 4 1/4" square.  We made a matching 4 1/2" square envelope using the envelope punch board.  Here's the link to Lyssa's tutorial.  I found that the front lined up perfectly when I scored just shy of 2 1/8".  I also added the Soho Subway DSP pieces on the front.  It's a 4" square piece of DSP cut in half.  The heart is punched from the same DSP. You can make the card and envelope from one sheet of DSP and still have a little left over!  The sentiment is from A Round Array and is punched out with the 7/8" scallop circle punch.

Happy stamping!

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!
