Swirly Heart

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin' Up: Endless Love

Paper: Stampin' Up White, Flirty Flamingo, Real Red, Made With Love 12x12 DSP

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and Stampin' Up Real Red

Accessories: Stampin' Up: Stylish Shapes Dies, Real Red thick twine, Party Banners Die, Endless Love Dies, Pattern of Friendship Die, dimensionals, Waffle Flower: Nesting Circles Dies, Honey Bee Gems, Score Tape

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a Valentine card I made today.  I started with the focal image.  I die cut the heart, adhered it to a circle that I die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies, and added some gems for some sparkle.  Next I matted the circle with real red cardstock using one of the Waffle Flower Nesting Circles Dies. I decided to pop up the focal image with dimensionals onto one of the Party Banners Dies.  Before I adhered it I ran the banner through the die cut machine with the Pattern of Friendship Die.  I thought it needed a little something, so I found some real red thick twine and that worked out great!  To finish the card I picked out some DSP, matted it with white, and adhered it to the real red card base.  When I adhered the party banner to the DSP I did have to use score tape so it would stick.  The texture from the Pattern of Friendship die would not stick with just a tape runner.  For the inside of the card I did some simple stamping for a sentiment.

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

Accessories: Pretty Pink Posh: Sentiment Strips Dies, SU Giving Gifts Dies, SU Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made using the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  Here is the sketch:

For my card I started with the Santa die cut.  First I cut out a piece of cherry cobbler cardstock, and then ran it through the die cut machine leaving an even border around the Santa.  Next I cut a piece of the snowflake paper slightly smaller than my cherry cobbler rectangle, and adhered the Santa to it.  Then I went on a hunt for a sentiment that would fit the space.  I found this Merry Christmas, stamped it and die cut it.  Next I cut the background layer and embossed it with the snowflake sky embossing folder, and matted it in cherry cobbler.  Then all I had to do was adhere everything down onto the white card base.  For the inside I stamped my sentiment and added some stars.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories: Gina K large and small rectangle dies, Copic Markers

Hello Stampers!  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!  It is a dreary rainy turning into snowy day.  So it is a great day to hang out in the craft room!  I bought this Whipper Snapper set recently and didn't get a chance to use it.  The Featured Stamper Challenge gave me some inspiration to use it.  Here is the card I am CASEing:

I started with the focal image for this card, I stamped, die cut, and colored in the image.  Then I matted it in black.  The original card used a plaid patterned paper, so I found a plaid patterned paper to use on mine as well and matted it in black.  Then I adhered it to a red card base.  For the inside I stamped a sentiment, die cut it, and then matted it in black to finish the card.  Definitely a quick and easy card, but as always takes me forever to complete it. LOL!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  I squeezed in some stamping time today.  I made this card for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card I CASED:

For my card I started with the focal image.  I stamped and die cut the sprigs.  Then I cut a rectangle piece of paper to fit behind the focal image.  I adhered the focal image to the rectangle piece.  Then I cut a piece of cardstock to 5.25x4 and partially embossed it.  To hide the seam I added some linen thread.  Now I was able to pop up the focal image.  For the sentiment I stamped, punched, and popped it up under the focal image.  For the inside I embossed a strip of white cardstock and stamped the sentiment.  

That's all for now!  With the holidays approaching I will try to squeeze in some stamping time!  Busy, Busy!!  I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday!!

Hello Stampers!  Long time, no stamp!  Tis the season to be busy!  I saw the

sketch of the week over at Freshly Made Sketches, and I thought of this die right away.  To start my card I cut my card base and layers.  Then I die cut the evergreen circle out of the top layer.  Next I cut a layer slightly smaller than the top layer and embossed it with the snowflake sky embossing folder.  I adhered this to the back of the front layer.  After this I assembled Rudolph and tucked him in the bottom of the evergreen circle.  Then I die cut the Christmas lights in white and used my copic markers to color them red, and I used a silver pen to add detail to the top of the lights.  I adhered this to the bottom of the evergreen circle.  Next I stamped the sentiment, die cut the banner, and adhered it to the card.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment and embellished it with the same string of lights from the front.

That's all for now!!  Have a great week!!

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!!

Paper: Gina K White

Accessories: SU Everyday Arches Dies, Playing in the Rain Dies, Raindrops Embossing Folder, Pickett Fence Blending Brush

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!
