Hello Stampers!  I made this for two challenges.  The first being the CAS on Friday's theme challenge Spring, and the other Featured Stamper challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  This week we are honoring individuals in the stamping community that have passed away.  One individual in particular, Polly.  And here is the card that I CASED, the last card that she posted on SCS.  For my card I started with the focal image.  I stamped, die cut, colored the floral image, and then added some bling.  I also stamped, colored, and fussy cut out the butterfly.  Then I cut a piece of bubble bath card stock, and die cut the accent corners to frame the focal image.  Before I adhered everything I laid it out to make sure I liked it.  But it was missing something in that bottom left hand corner.  So I decided to emboss the pink layer with a swiss dots embossing folder, Nope!  That wasn't the answer to my problem.  So I started again with the bubble bath cardstock, and die cut the corners.  Then I tried some linen thread.  It looked funny to go over the die cut accent, so I went through the die cut corner!  It added just that little something.  This time I adhered it altogether, and popped up the butterfly with some dimensionals.  For the inside I did some simple stamping.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

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!

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!

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.

Ink: SU Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive

Accessories: SU Delightful Wishes Dies, Honey Bee White Gems, Concord & Ninth Basket Weave Die

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

For my card I started by die cutting a bunch of flowers and leaves and assembling them.  I wasn't sure how I was going to arrange them so I played around until I decided on the floral layout.  Then I die cut the sentiment "Wishing."  I wanted to put the sentiment "you a Happy Birthday" but the label die was too long.  So I stamped the sentiment, die cut it, and then moved the sentiment over a bit and die cut the label on one side again to shorten it and it fit!  I had everything layed out on the kraft card panel, and I felt like it needed some texture.  So I found the basket weave die and ran it through the die cut machine.  I liked the look, so I adhered the flowers and sentiment to the kraft panel.  I also found these white gems by Honey Bee in my pile of embellishments and thought they would be a fun addition to add some sparkle.  To finish the card I adhered the kraft panel to a white card base.  For the inside, I stamped a few flowers and a sentiment.  

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