April Showers

Supplies: Stamps: Stampendous Ink: Memento tuxedo black Paper: Gina K heavy base weight white Accessories: Copic markers, Doodlebug twine, My Favorite Things stitched arch stax

Hello Stampers!  Today's clean and simple challenge on Splitcoaststampers is the theme "April Showers."  I thought of this cute image when I read the theme.  To make the card I diecut the arch die, placed it on the card base where I thought it looked good, then I gently traced the inside of the arch.  Next I used my stamp a ma jig to stamp my focal image onto the card base.  I colored in the image, added some twine to the focal panel, and then adhered the focal panel to the card base with some dimensionals.

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

Happy Easter!

Supplies: Stamps: Inkadinkado Paper: Gina K heavy and light weight white and SU melon mambo Ink: Memento tuxedo black Accessories: SU stitched square die, SU ribbon, Copic markers, Simon Says Stamp detail ringlet plate

Hello Stampers!  Today is the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  The Featured Stamper is Heather.  Here is the card that I CASED:

To make my card I stamped, colored, and die cut my focal image.  Then I added the ribbon treatment and added a melon mambo mat.  For the background I used a piercing plate instead of an embossing folder, so I couldn't stamp a sentiment on mine.  

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

Hello Stampers!  It's been a tiring week as I went back to school after Spring Break.  Needless to say I was too tired to make cards after school.  I cannot wait until summer, the countdown is on!!

Today is the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  The Featured Stamper is Mary Ellen.  And here is the card that I CASED.

For my card I used kraft paper instead of light blue behind my Santa.  And instead of adding a tree I used snowflakes in my circle.  I kept the same sentiment flag, and added some linen thread at the top of the card to tie it altogether.  I'm happy to add another Christmas card to my stash! :)

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

Sunflower Birthday Wishes

Supplies: Stamps:  Gina K Ink: Memento tuxedo black Paper: Gina K heavy base weight white and black onyx Accessories: linen thread, Copic markers, and Spellbinders rectangle nestabilities

Hello Stampers and Happy Easter!!  I am at the tail end of my Spring Break, it was wonderful having some time off.  Especially the last couple of days have been in the upper 60's!!  So I was able to get some Spring cleaning done in the shed and the garage, and even cleaned out all of the salt from my car.  So it better not snow any more!!  

Today is the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  This week's featured stamper is Cara.  I selected the following card as inspiration for my card:

To make the card I started by die cutting the rectangle out of white paper.  Then I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp my sunflower image and the sentiment.  Next I colored the focal image with Copic markers.  For the ribbon treatment I decided to place it in the corner since my sunflowers didn't have as long of a stem as Cara's did.  I matted the focal image onto black like Cara, and then adhered that to my card base to finish the card.

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter!!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Jawsome Birthday

Supplies:  Stamps: Lawn Fawn Duh Nuh and Year Seven Ink: Memento tuxedo black and VersaFine Clair Nocturne, Distress Inks: salty ocean, peacock feathers, and twisted citron Paper: Gina K heavy base weight white and Hero Arts pitch black Accessories: Lawn Fawn Duh Nuh dies, Copic markers, blending brushes, water spritz bottle

Hello Stampers!  For my card today I am participating in two challenges on Splitcoaststampers.  The first is the clean and simple challenge with a theme of sea creatures, and the second is the featured stamper challenge.  Here is my inspiration card from Francine's gallery:

To make my card I started by blending the background like Francine's card.  I added a little bit of blue to the top of my background in addition to the teal and green colors she used.  To finish the background I spritzed it with some water droplets.  Then I stamped colored and die cut the shark and bubbles.  Next I stamped the greeting using my Misti since the words were from a couple different stamp sets and this helped line the words up correctly.  Then all that was left was to adhere everything together.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Happy Birthday

Supplies: Stamps: Stampin Up Sky is the Limit Ink: Gina K ivory pigment ink, Stampin Up early espresso Paper: Carta Bella Old World Travel Propeller Plane, Stampin Up early espresso, Gina K ivory, Stampendous detail white embossing powder, blending brush, linen thread

Hello Stampers!  The sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers is a slimline card!  They are very hard to photograph!!  Here is a picture of the sketch.

I had found this paper in my stash recently and thought it would go well with this sketch.  Then I thought the airplane stamp would go well with the background.  I stamped it and blended in some early espresso ink around the edges to match the patterned paper.  For the sentiment I stamped it in ivory ink and then embossed it with embossing powder.  To finish the card I adhered all of my layers together.

That's all for now!

Joy Fold Poppies

Supplies: Stamps: SU Painted Poppies  Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and VersaMark Paper:  SU gray granite and Gina K heavy base weight white and black onyx Accessories: Copic markers, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, gem, black mini dimensionals

Hello Stampers!  What a beautiful Sunday it is today!!  I should probably be outside taking in the sunshine, but I am in my craft room making a card for the featured stamper challenge!  And doing laundry, dishes, and cleaning! LOL!  This week's featured stamper on Splitcoaststampers is Sandy.  I found this card in her gallery to CASE.

To make my card I followed the Joy Fold tutorial.  I changed the color scheme of my card, used some smaller poppy stamps, and added some ribbon to focal image.  I stamped my background paper instead of using patterned paper.  I also used a butterfly to keep the card closed.  I punched out three butterflies and adhered them together so it would be a stronger closure.  

That's all for now, 

Thanks for stopping by!
