Hello Stampers!  I made this card for the Clean and Simple Card Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  The theme for this week's challenge is vacation.  I thought of this hammock stamp right away.  To make my card I started with the front card panel.  I trimmed it and die cut the recgtangle peek a boo die cut.  Then I set it on my card front without adhering it and used a pencil to trace the inside of the rectangle so I could see where to stamp my hammock.  Next I lined up my stamp a ma jig and stamped the hammock within the lines I traced.   Then before I went further I wanted to stamp my sentiment.  I again used the stamp a ma jig to line up and stamp the sentiment.  By this time the ink was dry from the hammock stamp and I erased the lines I drew on.  Next I colored in the hammock stamp, and then dotted the sand with my Copic markers.   For the sky I used a Copic marker and colored swirls.  Now it was time to adhered the card panel to the card front.  I used dimensionals to pop this panel up.  For the die cuts I adhered the clouds and for the sun I colored it in with Copic markers and then adhered it to the card.  I was kind of stumped as to what I should do on the inside.  Then I remembered that I had this sunshine stencil and that was what I went with.  

This was a fun card to make.  Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!  It is time for Featured Stamper Sunday!  Today's Featured Stamper on Splitcoaststampers is Vicki, and this is the card I chose as inspiration for my card.  I kept the grouping of three, and used trees instead of flowers.  I put the gems at the top of my trees.  And I embossed the entire card front instead of using a combination of two embossed panels.

My sister requested a pink Christmas card, so this is about as close as I can get to that request!  To make this card I cut out a piece of printer paper 4.25x5.5 and folded it equally into thirds to figure out how big to make the backgrounds for my trees.  After I cut these out I adhered the trees with a gem at the top.  Then I adhered this grouping of trees onto a black mat.  Next I embossed the card front.   To finish the card I adhered the tree panel onto the card front, and added a sentiment.  

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

Hello Stampers!  I made this card for the Free 4 All Challenge on Splitcoaststampers: Christmas In July.  I have had this dancing gnome made for awhile, so I challenged myself to make it into a card today.  I started by embossing the card front with a snowflake embossing folder.  Then I adhered the gnome to white cardstock and then matted it with black.  To the card front I added a black and red check strip matted in black and wrapped in twine.  Then I heat embossed the sentiment onto a banner, and added it to the card.  The finish the card I added a quick bow to the twine.  When trying to figure out what to put on the inside of this card I was reminded of the movie Elf, and how he says "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."  And I remembered that I had that stamp!  It worked out perfect!

Scrapbook Room Update

This is a picture of the before:

This is the after.  I swapped out my end table for a dresser.  

I needed more storage, and this dresser is only a little bit wider than what I had.  It will take some getting used to, but I am so happy.  I had so much stuff under my desk on the floor, and now I have a home for those items.  I have a lot of empty space in the dresser now, but I'm sure it won't take long to fill it up!  

Thanks for stopping by!!

I changed my card to a 4.25x4.25 square size card.  I started with my focal panel, and blended the background.  Then I stamped the silhouette image and sentiment using my Misti.  I was not sure if I should add twine, but I decided to since Diane had a ribbon treatment on her card.  After I tied on the twine I popped this panel onto a black layer, and then adhered it to the card base.  To finish the card, I stamped a sentiment on the inside of the card.

Happy 50th Birthday

 

Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn Owen's ABCs

Ink: VersaMark

Paper: Gina K white, Stampin' Up black, garden green and real red

Accessories: Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder, Lawn Fawn Meadow Borders, Brutus Monroe Alabaster White embossing powder, 1/2 inch circle punch, toothpicks, numbers from Silhouette Cameo, Stampin' Up pennant punch, Waffle Flowers Additional Circles dies (inside), Stampin' Up Something Fancy Dies (inside)

Hello Stampers!!  My brother is turning 50 this month!!  I saw this card on Pinterest:

This card caught my eye with the way they added the pennants.  So that was what I started with.  I heat embossed the letters for happy and punched them out with a 1/2 inch circle punch.  Then I punched out the pennants and attached them to some toothpicks using Glue Dots.  I layed these out and then picked out a circle for the golf ball.  I die cut a white circle and then embossed it with the Swiss Dots embossing folder.  Then I die cut the grass border and the numbers for the card.  It was tricky getting this adhered, but I finally got it.  For the inside I die cut the grass border and another golf ball.  For the sentiment I computer generated and printed it, and then die cut it.  I think I'll have to send him a treat with this, it is pretty thick to mail on its own.    Thanks so much for stopping by!!
