Autumn Silhouette


Supplies: Stamps: Gina K Autumn Silhouettes Paper: Gina K: Heavy Base Weight White and Black Ink: Distress Ink: Wild Honey, Seedless Preserves, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, VersaFine Clair Nocturne Accessories: Stampin' Up: Wonderful Gems, Simply Elegent Trim, Needlepoint Elements Framelits Dies, Pickett Fences Blending Brushes

Hello Stampers!  I made this card using Freshly Made Sketches sketch of the week.
I decided to take a break from Christmas cards and go with a fall theme for this card.  I started by blending my background.  Then I used my Misti to stamp the silhouette image.  I matted this blended piece with black cardstock.  For the sentiment I stamped and die cut it, and attached it to the card.  To separate the focal image from the sentiment I added some gold twine.  And then I added some sparkle to my focal image by adding some gold sparkly gems to finish the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Believe


 Supplies: Stamps: unknown  Ink: VersaMark, VersaFine Clair Nocturne, Distress Inks: Salty Ocean, Prize Ribbon, Chipped Sapphire, Wilted Violet Paper: Gina K Heavy Base Weight White, Hero Arts Pitch Black Accessories: 5/8 inch circle punch, masking paper, Stampin' Up twine, Memory Box Country Landscape, blending brushes, Brutus Monroe Alabaster White Embossing Powder

Hello Stampers!  I made this card for the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  This week's featured stamper is Pat, and this is the card I chose from her gallery to CASE.

To make my card I started with at 4.25x4.25 card base, because my elements were smaller than the featured stamper's card.  Next I cut a piece of white card stock to 4x4.  After this I die cut the country landscape out of black and laid it down on the 4x4 piece of cardstock.  I lightly traced the country landscape so I knew where to start blending the purple.  Before blending I cut out a circle for the moon and placed it on the 4x4 piece of card stock.  I started blending at the bottom with the purple and then blended a couple of blue shades for the night sky.  I blended lightly around the moon so there would be a glow around the moon.  After I was done blending a splattered some water onto the blended areas.  I let this dry while I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in white.  I adhered the the landscape to the focal panel and added some black and white twine. Then I used my Stamp a ma Jig to stamp the flying Santa.  To finish the card I adhered the focal panel to the card base.  

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

Happy Holidays



Supplies: Stamps: Stampin' Up Itty Bitty Christmas  Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black  Paper: PaperCut Sno Cone and Gina K Heavy Base Weight White  Accessories: Stampin' Up Linen Thread, My Favorite Things Die-namics Snowdrifts Gina K Master Layouts 3, Essentials by Ellen Alpine Snowfall, Impression Obsession Dies: DIE117-C and DIE079-U, Waffle Flower Additional A2 Layers, Simon Says Stamp Birch Circle



Hello Stampers!  For today's card I participated it two challenges.  The first one is the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  For the two elements on the upper left I used cardinals, and for the element on the bottom right I used a deer.  And the second challenge is the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  I found the color palette below to use on my card.  

As I was making this card I felt like I kept adding more and more die cuts! LOL!  I knew I wanted the cardinals, birch circle, and deer as the elements, but as I started putting it together I realized that the deer needed some snow to be standing on, there should be a sky colored background, and then I thought the sky should have some snowflakes!    

So to make the card I decided to start with the birch circle.  I die cut it and then used the A2 die to cut it out.  Next I die cut the snow drift and adhered to to the back of the birch circle.  Then I die cut the alpine snowfall and adhered it behind the birch circle.  Next I added the cardinals, deer, and sentiment.  Before I adhered the focal panel to the card base I added some linen thread and a bow to finish my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  This holiday weekend I spent a lot of time in my craft room finishing up my Christmas cards!  I have them addressed, stamped, and ready to mail tomorrow!  I think this is the earliest I have ever sent out my Christmas cards.  Today's card uses the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  
To make my card I started with a white card base.  Then I die cut the "glow" onto a white layer measuring 3.75x5.  I matted this with the matte silver cardstock, and it shines through my die cut "glow."  Next I found a snowflake that would fit into the circle and die cut it out of silver matte cardstock, and adhered it to my card.  Now it was time for the sentiment.  I heat embossed the sentiment and die cut it out of a label die.  I used mini dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the card.  All that was left was to adhere my focal panel to my card base.   

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

Hello Stampers...I am alive!  It has been awhile since I have made a card.  So I thought I would check out the Featured Stamper challenge on SCS.  Here is the card that I CASED.

To make my card I started by stamping a background with a couple of ghost stamps, and heat embossed them.  Then I used my white craft ink, a paintbrush, and some water to color in the ghosts, and give them a white wash effect.  Then I stamped, die cut, and colored in the focal image, and added a heat embossed sentiment.  I added a layer of gingham paper for some interest.  

Hopefully by making this card, it will be a starting point to make more cards.   I know I need to make a couple more Halloween cards, and a Halloween Birthday card for my nephew who is turning 18!  Oh my goodness kids grow up what too fast.

Take care, and thank you for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  I made this card using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  
I have to admit this was a tricky challenge for me, but as I was looking through my supplies I came across my border punches.  And then everything came together.  I started by punching out the strips of cardstock.  After I had them cut into strips, which was not as easy as it looks, I picked out a sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment and then trimmed the cardstock strips to frame it.  

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

Confetti Birthday


 Supplies: Paper: Gina K heavy base weight white and silver glitter cardstock Ink: Distress Inks: saltwater taffy, scattered straw, and salvaged patina Accessories: Pickett Fence blending brushes and Gina K birthday trio die cut, Waffle Flower A2 rectangle dies, Hero Arts confetti stencil pair

Hello Stampers!  I survived my first day back to school after Spring Break.  Yay!!!  I saw the theme for the CAS challenge, birthday theme, on Splitcoaststampers last night.  I immediately thought of this birthday die cut and wanted to make a card with it for the challenge.  When I got home I looked through my stencils and found this fun confetti stencil and thought that would be a perfect background with the die cut!  So I started by blending on the distress inks.  I thought it was nice that an orange and green color were created when I did my blending.  After that I die cut the focal panel with the Waffle Flowers A2 dies.  Next it was time for the greeting.  I started by die cutting the background with silver glitter paper.  Then I needed to figure out what colors I should do for the Happy and Birthday.  I swiped my saltwater taffy ink cube on top of my card stock instead of trying to find a card stock that matched, and die cut the Happy.  For the Birthday I blended scattered straw with salvage patina on my card stock, and then I die cut the birthday.  To finish the card I adhered my sentiment to the silver glitter card stock, and adhered the layers together.

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