Happy Father's Day



Supplies:
Stamps: SU Moon Lake, Stampabilities: Happy Father's Day
Paper:  Gina K White, SU Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow, Timeless Plaid 6x6 DSP
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and SU Crumb Cake
Accessories: Ribbon from stash, Waffle Flower Nesting Circles Dies, SU Spotlight On Nature Dies, Banners Framelits Dies, Copic Markers

Hello Stampers!  I made a card today using the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  

For my card I started by picking out my DSP for the banner.  Then I picked out the focal image.  I stamped, die cut, and colored it in with Copics.  I wanted to add some color behind the design of the circle die cut, so I die cut a plain circle out of Mossy Meadows and adhered it behind the focal image. Then I picked out some ribbon and adhered it to the Crumb Cake layer.  Then I worked on the banner.  I decided to pop this up since the ribbon added some dimension.  Before I adhered to the Crumb Cake layer I cut the banner in half.  I adhered the top portion to the top of the Crumb Cake layer, and then I popped up the bottom portion towards the bottom.  This stretched out my banner enough for the card sketch.  So I adhered the focal image with pop dots as well.  The inside I kept really simple.  I stamped my sentiment and die cut it with the same circle as the front. 

That's all for now!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Ink: VersaMark
Accessories: Simon Says Stamp: Ultra Fine Cream Embossing Powder, SU: Needlepoint Elements Framelits Dies, Pretty Label Punch, Enamel Dot Essentials, Cream Ribbon, and Small Flower Punch, May Arts Twine


Hello Stampers!  I made a card using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, sketch of the week.  For my card I started by die cutting the floral image.  Then I heat embossed the sentiment, die cut the pierced edge, and then punched it out with the pretty label punch.  I embellished the sentiment with a punched out flower and an enamel dot.  Before I popped up my sentiment onto the focal panel I added a ribbon treatment with cream ribbon and tied on some twine.  To finish the front I added some cream enamel dots to the focal image.  For the inside I die cut the pierced border, and then heat embossed the sentiment.  And that completes my card!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Merry Christmas


Supplies:
Stamps: SU Cherish the Season
Ink: SU Sahara Sand
Paper: Gina K White, SU Sahara Sand and Tidings of Christmas 6x6 DSP
Accessories:  SU Giving Gifts Dies, Heffy Doodle: Scripty Merry Christmas Shadow Dies, Honey Bee Gems, Taylor Expressions: Make a Snowflake Dies

Hello Stampers!  I have used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches to make this card.  I started by die cutting the snowflake rectangles three times.  Then I wasn't sure where I was going to go with this.  I thought about ink blending a background, but then I was going through my DSP and found a piece from Tidings of Christmas that I liked.  The pattern was small and dainty and it didn't take away from the die cut snowflakes.  So I adhered my DSP behind the snowflake panels.  Next was time for the sentiment.  I pulled out a few die cuts and settled on the Heffy Doodle Merry Christmas.  I liked this one because it had a shadow.  So I adhered this to the bottom snowflake panel.  To finish the front I added some gems to the center of the snowflakes.  For the inside I kept it simple.  I added some of the same DSP, stamped my sentiment, and added a couple of die cut snowflakes.

That's all for now, thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday



Supplies:
Stamps: Stampin' Up Made for You, Inside Sentiment: Papertrey Ink
Paper: Gina K White, SU Berry Burst
Ink: SU Berry Burst
Accessories: SU Spring Corners Dies, SU Textured Notes Dies, May Arts Twine

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.

For my card I started by die cutting the white rectangle.  Then I die cut the corner flower out of this piece, and stamped my sentiment in the upper right corner. Next I added some twine under the sentiment.  To finish the front I matted the white layer to a piece of Berry Burst cardstock, and adhered this to my card base.  I kept the inside simple, by die cutting the white rectangle, matting it with Berry Burst cardstock, and stamping a senitment.

That's all for now!  Thanks for stopping by!!

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: Gina K White, SU gray (not sure which one)
Accessories: Ribbon from Stash, SU Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Copic Markers: N4, N2, N0

Hello Stampers!  The Clean and Simple challenge over at Splitcoaststampers is: National Napping Day.  I thought of this stamp combo as soon as I saw the theme.  Some of my best naps are when I am in my recliner! LOL!  This is a very clean and simple card.  I stamped my recliner and colored it in.  I placed the ribbon where I wanted it and stamped the sentiment.  I tied on some baker's twine to the ribbon to finish the card.  For the inside I kept it open.  This could be a Father's Day card or a masculine birthday card.  

That's all for now!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Easter Blessings

Paper: Gina K White, SU Gingham Gala 6x6 DSP
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and SU Daffodil Delight
Accessories: SU Textured Notes Dies, Linen Thread, punch, and Dimensionals, Copic markers, Honey Bee Gems

Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday over at Splitcoaststampers!  Here is the card I CASED:
For my card I started by stamping, die cutting, and coloring in my focal image.  Then I cut a piece of yellow gingham paper to go behind my focal image.  Next I added some linen thread with a bow, and popped up the sentiment that I punched out.  I adhered this piece to my white card base, and finished the card by adding some gems.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment, added some gingham paper, and I found this sweet little daffodil image as I was going through my Easter supplies and decided to stamp and color it on the inside also.

That's all for now!  Thanks for stopping by!
