Coppery Birthday

Supplies: Stamps: Stylized Birthday  Paper: Affectionately Yours, white cardstock  Ink: Versamark  Accessories: copper embossing powder, circle nestabilities, white sheer ribbon

I have to apologize for the picture of this card.  It is really hard to photograph a card when it has foiled paper on it!   The colors all look really off, but I assure you they are all coppery.  I didn't have any copper foil paper for behind the birthday greeting, so I made my own using the copper embossing powder I used on the greeting.

I made this card using the sketch challenge on SCS.

Coffee Anyone?

 Supplies: Stamps: Amuse and Lawn Fawn  Ink: Memento tuxedo black  Paper: Gina K Heavy base weight white cardstock  Accessories: copic markers, ribbon, score pal, clear wink of stella marker, glossy accents

The CAS challenge on SCS today is "hot beverage."  I can't imagine starting my day without a cup of coffee, and I love this coffee to go mug stamp.  I added a heart from the Stinkin' Cute stamp set by Lawn Fawn to these coffee cups, applied clear wink of stella to the hearts, and then glossy accents on top.  I scored two lines above and below the ribbon to add some dimension.

Supplies: Stamps: Amuse coffee mug, sentiment ? I bought it at a craft rummage  Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Versamark, Tim Holtz distress inks  Paper: Old Olive and Tim Holtz watercolor paper  Accessories: dimensionals and detail white embossing powder.

I couldn't resist, I had to make another card for this challenge.  I watercolored the brown coffee background and then spritzed on some water to create the water splotches.  Then I stamped the coffee cup twice, cut them out and adhered one to the sentiment and popped the other one up next to it.  My sentiment was embossed on old olive cardstock to coordinate with the card base.  

Thank you for stopping by!

Birdie Birthday

Supplies: Stamps Mini Crazy Bird Set  Ink: Archival jet black, Versamark, Distress Inks: barn door, peacock feathers, and pumice stone  Paper: Tim Holtz watercolor paper, black cardstock by Gina K Accessories: detail white embossing powder, glossy accents, mini crazy bird die set, Tim Holtz birthday die cut, Tim Holtz dot fade stencil, white embossing paste, DCWV twine, paper piercer

Today's challenge on SCS is the Featured Stamper challenge, and the Featured Stamper is Pam.  I chose to CASE this card, and made the following changes: I used one layer for the card base, distress ink and embossing paste to create the "patterned" paper, and I used one layer for my die cut word.  This isn't my typical CAS card, it took me forever!  But it was fun to use so many different products on one card.  I added glossy accents to the balloon and the birthday word die cut.  To make it look like the bird was holding the balloon string I pierced a hole above and below his wing to thread the baker's twine through. And I love the texture that the embossing paste adds to the watercolored background.

Another Timeless Tag

Supplies: Stamps: That's The Tag  Ink: Riding Hood Red, Memento tuxedo black  Paper: Affectionately Yours, white, gumball green, and watermelon wonder  Accessories: Timeless Tags, metallic ribbon combo, linen thread, dimensionals, copic markers

The challenge over at SU! Only Challenges is to use your new "stuff!"  I used this Timeless Tag and That's the Tag combo on a card previously this week, and thought I'd try making a different variety of tag.  I like the look of the leaves behind the flowers on this tag.  I also recently purchased the Affectionately Yours paper pack, and thought it would compliment this tag with the flower pattern. I finished my tag with the new ribbon from the Sale-a-bration catalog.  I couldn't decide if I should use the gold or the silver both looked good, but I thought the contrast of the silver and the linen thread worked out better.  Thanks for stopping by!

Flying By To Say Hi

Supplies: Stamps: Lawn Fawn  Paper: white, black, and grey cardstock  Ink: Memento tuxedo black and Versamark  Accessories: Tim Holtz embossing folder, linen thread, copic markers, detail white embossing powder, dimensionals

I made this card using this week's sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  I chose to use airplanes as my group of three.  I added a touch of grey coloring to add some dimension to the airplanes.  I chose the embossing folder to display the trails of the paper airplanes.   Lastly,  I added my sentiment with white embossing powder to help it pop on the black cardstock.

Out With The Old In With The New

Supplies: Stamps: That's the Tag Paper: white cardstock  Ink: Tattered Rose Distress Ink and Memento tuxedo black  Accessories: Linen Thread, Timeless Tags, Hero Arts Tile Work stencil, blending tool, Clarity Stencil brushes, and dimensionals

The CAS challenge this week is to use something new.  I purchased the Timeless Tags and That's the Tag stamp and die set from the new Occasions Catalog.  I created the ombre effect with my blending tool on the tag.  I then used the same ink for the stencil, using the Clarity brushes.  What a dream they are for blending!  To make the slivers of pink, I swiped my tattered rose ink pad on some white cardstock in order to make everything coordinate.  I added some linen thread and popped up my tag, and that completed my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday!  I know we did! I used the sketch challenge on SCS to complete this card.  I kept it simple as usual, not even any stamping!  The heart is from the paper pad and I punched it out with the heart punch.  Thanks for stopping by!
