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

For my card I started by die cutting the cat.  When I finished that I die cut the background for the cat and die cut it with the tiny crosses texture die.  I was kickin' it old school and I traced the outer edge of the spellbinders die onto black card stock and cut it out so I could mat the focal image.  I adhered these together and added some twine.  Then I added some purple card stock under the twine to ground the cat.  I adhered this to a gorgeous grape card base.  For the inside I duplicated the spellbinders die, and die cut and adhered the sentiment to complete this card.  

That's all for now.  Back to work tomorrow, see you next weekend!!

Hello Stampers!  My nephew is turning 21 on Halloween!  How did that happen?!  I can't believe how quickly he grew up!!  I did get some inspiration for this card, from a card I saw on Pinterest:

For my card I started by die cutting a vellum star and piercing it.  Next I die cut the 21 out of the silver glimmer paper and adhered them to the star.  After this I found the patterned paper, and adhered it to a white card base.  Next I cut out a kraft strip and stamped the sentiment on it.  I adhered this strip to the patterned paper, and then adhered the star as well.  I die cut a bunch of gold stars and adhered them to the card.  For the inside I stamped my sentiment and die cut a star out of it.

Hello Stampers!  I was able to get into my craft room today.  I had parent teacher conferences this past week so I was not able to make a card last weekend, as I was filling out conference reports!  Ugh!  For this card I found this card to CASE for the Featured Stamper challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.

For my card I changed the orientation.  I started with a petal pink card base.  I cut a white layer and partially embossed it.  I added the petal pink ribbon to cover the seam between the embossed and non embossed sides.  Next I stamped, die cut, and colored in the focal image.  I popped it up with some dimensionals, and accented it with some gems.  For the sentiment I heat embossed it in white, die cut it, and adhered it to the white layer.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment, and die cut it.  I added a petal pink mat and that completed this card.

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

Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday over at Splitcoaststampers!  Here is my inspiration card:

I was drawn to this card because of the use of black.  It really caught my eye.  I also really like the look of the white wash technique.  I heat embossed the floral image and die cut it using a circle die.  Then I did the white wash and let it dry while I finished the card.  To mat this image I die cut the decorative circle out of black, and die cut a white circle to go behind it to highlight the decorative edge.  I also cut out a card base and added a white and a black layer.  By this time my image was dry.  I wanted to add some color on top of the white wash, so I got out my water brush and some melon mambo ink and applied ink to the florals, then I added some old olive to the leaves.  It is very faint but there is some color.  I think I should have used more white ink to allow those colors to stand out.  I took this circle and popped it up on the decorative circle, added some sheer ribbon, and adhered my layers together.  For the inside I did some simple stamping.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!  I survived my first day of inservice!  I was excited to get home to make a card for today's Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers, the theme is weather wonder.  For my card I started by die cutting an arch and embossing it with the rain drops embossing folder.  Then I ink blended some tumbled glass on top to create the sky.  For the focal image, I stamped, die cut, and colored it in with Copics.  The bottom portion of the image did not cut out with the die cut, so I fussy cut out the puddle.  I adhered these pieces to the bottom of the arch.  Then I stamped, die cut, and highlighted the clouds with Copic markers.  Next I adhered the clouds to the arch, and glued the arch to a card base.  For the inside I ink blended the edges of the arch and stamped a sentiment.

That's all for now!  We'll see how day 2 of inservice goes... until next time!

Hello Stampers!  I am sharing a card I made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is my inspiration card:

For my card I started by stamping and die cutting my floral images.  Then I needed to find some patterned paper and decide what color scheme to go for.  I found some sahara sand patterned paper with a simple pattern, and that led me to use sahara sand for the card.  I cut a piece of sahara sand and a strip of the patterned paper.  I adhered the patterned paper to the bottom of the cardstock.  I inked up my blending brush with sahara sand and inked up the edges.  Then I used post its to cover up the patterned paper.  I took one of the stamps from Elements of Text and randomly partially stamped this on the top portion of the card.  For the sentiment I used my trusty stamp a ma jib and stamped it in early espresso so it would stand out against the background.  Next I added some linen thread with a bow.  To finish this card panel I used dimensionals to pop up the floral image.  For the inside I cut a sahara sand panel and inked up the edges.  I stamped my sentiment and adhered another floral image.  

Well it is back to work tomorrow as my summer vacation has come to an end.  Back to weekend stamping! :(

Hello Stampers!!!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.   The theme of the week is "Summer Fun."  To make my card I started with the truck.  I inked up the solid truck with pear pizzazz ink, and then I lightly sponged on some cajun craze ink at the bottom to give the truck a rusty look.  Then I stamped the outline of the truck on top of this.  To give it that beachy, summery feel I stamped the palm trees, surf board, and beach ball in the back and colored them with copic markers.  Then I fussy cut this out.  For the background I die cut a circled and ink blended a summery sky, and added some sandpaper at the bottom of the circle to ground the truck.  To finish up the focal image I stamped, die cut, and popped up the sentiment on the circle.  Now for the card front I decided to emboss it with the soft waves embossing folder, and adhere it to a pool party card base.  I adhered my focal image to the background to finish up the front of this card.  For the inside I die cut a palm tree and added a bit of sandpaper at the bottom, leaving room to add a note.  And that completes my card.
