Hello Stampers!  My Mother-in-Law requested that I make a 65th Year Anniversary card for her sister and brother-in-law.  I looked up the color for 65 years of marriage and it is sapphire.  I did get some inspiration from Pinterest for this card.   

I liked the florals they used and the layout of the card.  To start this card I stamped the sentiment.  I had to do this 3 times (3 times a charm!) before I got one that was straight!  Then I die cut the stitched label in silver and matted my sentiment with it dimensionals.  Next up were the flowers.  I stamped the flowers in night of navy onto boho blue cardstock, and punched them out.  Next I used the sprig punch and punched out silver and night of navy sprigs and layered them behind the flowers.  For the white background I embossed it with the softly woven embossing folder.  I added a boho blue mat behind this, and then adhered it to the night of navy card base.  Then to finish the front I simply adhered everything down.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment in night of navy ink and then stamped the flowers with boho blue ink in the corners.  And that completed this card.

Hello Stampers!!  I made this card using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

I started my card with the focal image.  I had a couple different poinsettia die sets and chose to use the Stampin' Up set.  So I die cut and embellished the poinsettia with some gold gems in the center of the flower.  Then I die cut the flourish and adhered my poinsettia to it.  I had this positioned onto some white cardstock, but I felt it needed some texture.  So I die cut a white layer with the papertrey ink cover plate.  I added some ribbon and a sentiment and adhered my elements to the white layer.  I added a gold mat, and adhered it all to a cherry cobbler card base which is 5x5.  For the inside I heat embossed the sentiment.

Hello Stampers!  Well as much as I don't want summer to end, I have to go back to school for inservice tomorrow.  I am going to miss all of my crafty afternoons in my craft room.  Back to being a weekend crafter. :( 

For today's card I used the sketch from Sunday Stamps.  Here is the sketch:

I saw a tutorial on Facebook this morning that I wanted to try, and this sketch allowed me to do so.  For my focal image I added ink to the sunflower with blending brushes.  Then when I was done I swiped the secret sea ink pad over the top and wow does that make the sunflowers pop!  I love it!  I matted my focal image with secret sea card stock.  Then I cut out a layer of green patterned paper for the strip across, and I adhered both to a white card base.  I had this birthday sentiment left over from a card I made this afternoon, and it fit perfectly onto this card.  For the inside I simple stamped and matted a sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a great week!

Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card I CASED:

As soon as I saw this card I thought of the blooming sunflower image by Gina K.  I stamped, die cut, and colored in my image.  Then I picked out some patterned paper, and created the background like her card has.  After this I stamped and die cut the sentiment.  For the last component I decided to use the greenery background die on the front card base.  To finish it off I adhered it altogether, and added a couple of gems for some sparkle.  For the inside I stamped and die cut the sentiment and matted it with the same burlap dsp as the front.  I decided that it needed a bit more color so I added a strip of the patterned paper as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  I made a card today for the Just Add Ink Challenge.  The challenge was to pick two from the following choices: Gingham, Circles, Flowers, or Sequins.  I picked gingham and flowers for my card.  I started my card by assembling the sunflower die cut.  I cut out the pieces and then inked up the edges of the sunflower petals and the leaves.  Next I found some black gingham paper for the bottom portion of the card.  After this I decided to emboss the top portion of the card.  Once I had this embossed I taped the embossed portion and the gingham portion together on the back.  I did this so I could hide the twine from the inside of the card.  I wrapped the twine around the seam of the two pieces of paper three times.  Next I adhered the sunflower, and added a twine bow.  To finish the front I stamped and die cut the sentiment.  I cut the mini dimensionals in half to adhere the sentiment.  For the inside I embellished it with the gingham DSP and added a sentiment.  And that completes my card!

Buzzing By to Say Hi

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin' Up Meant to Bee, Great Impressions (sentiment)

Ink: Stampin' Up Basic Black, Daffodil Delight

Paper: Gina K White, Stampin' Up Pool Party

Accessories: Cuttlebug Embossing Strips, Honey Bee Clear Gems, Stampin' Up Dimensionals

Hello Stampers!  I'm poppin' in to share a card I made for two challenges: Splitcoaststampers Ways to Use It: Stripes, Doodled Lines, or Linewash and the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.

 

For my card I started with the diagonal lines.  I found some Cuttlebug embossing strips in my collection that would work perfectly for these lines.  First I embossed the hexagons, then I had an embossing strip with just dots and I embossed the dots on each side of the hexagons.  So then it was onto the bees.  I stamped and fussy cut these out.  I arranged them onto the card, and decided to stamp some of the bee trail for the bottom and top bees.  After this I popped up the bees with the bee trail and tucked in the third bee.  I decided to add a little bling with some clear gems.  And to finish the front of the card I stamped my sentiment.  For the inside I used the hexagon embossing strip and made another bee to embellish it.  

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