Paper: Gina K White and Stampin' Up Melon Mambo

Hello Stampers!  I am here to share a card that I made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card that I CASED:

For my card I decided to add some angles to make it look like the butterfly is flying.  I started by selecting my embossing folders.  This wasn't easy!  But I narrowed it down and picked two.  I cut my diagonal pieces and embossed them.  Then I stamped the sentiment, and adhered the butterfly with dimensionals.  For the inside I duplicated this look, but made the diagonal sections smaller, and stamped a sentiment.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card that I made for two challenges.  One is the Ways to Use It challenge: Gems over at Splitcoaststampers.  The second challenge is the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.
For muy card I started by stamping the floral image, and die cutting it.  Next I selected my DSP, and cut it into a panel.  Then I die cut the sentiment "wishing", and then I stamped and die cut the second part of the sentiment.  I adhered everything together, and completed the card by adding some gems.  For the inside I kept it really simple with just a sentiment.

Hello Stampers!  I'm back from our week up north!  It was a chilly week but we still had a nice time.  I'm a bit late posting this featured stamper challenge card.  I started it last night, but was not able to finish it.  So this morning I finished it.  Here is the card that I CASED:


For my card I started with the focal image.  I stamped, die cut, and then colored in the image with Copic markers.  Then I matted it with some sweet sorbet cardstock.  For the background I chose to just have one diagonal cut.  I taped the two pieces together on the back, and matted it with some sweet sorbet cardstock.  For the flourishes, I used an oldie but goodie flourish punch from EK Success.  I adhered these to the back of the focal image, and then adhered it to the patterned paper layer.  Once that was in place I adhered the layers together.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment and bees.  And colored in the bees to finish this card.

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

Hello Stampers!  I'm back to share a card that I made for the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers: Fun in the Sun.  For my card I started by stenciling the sun rays onto a 4x4 piece of white card stock.  Then I stamped, punched out, and colored the focal image and matted it with some azure afternoon card stock.  I adhered this blue layer to the sunrays, and then I popped up the focal image onto the blue circle.  For the sentiment I die cut it and adhered it to the card front.  For the inside I simply stamped a sentiment.

That's all for now.  I'm headed up north on Saturday so I won't be posting.  See you all in about a week!

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Freshly Made Sketches, sketch of the week.
For my card I started by stamping and fussy cutting out the leafy image.  Then I picked out the patterned paper for the background.  I experimented with sizes for the focal image, and then embossed it with the corrugated embossing folder, and matted it with crumb cake cardstock.  Then I attached the leafy image so some of it was in front and some of it was in the back.  For the sentiment I stamped, die cut, and popped it up.  For the inside I stamped the basket image and then added a sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!  It's been awhile!  I was busy finishing up my last couple of weeks of school.  Our last day was Friday, I don't think it has sunk in that it is summer yet.  Maybe it will tonight when I don't have to set an alarm!! :)

My card today is for 2 challenges.  One is the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers: Make a Masculine card, and the other is the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches. 
For my card I started by picking out two pieces of patterned paper that coordinated, and getting them cut out.  For the focal image I stamped, die cut, stamped the sentiment, and colored the image.  I adhered the two patterned papers down, and then popped up the airplane.  For the inside I had a piece of the cloud paper, so I stamped and die cut the sentiment and adhered it to the patterned paper.

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

Hello Stampers!  I'm back to share a card using the Freshly Made Sketches, Sketch of the Week.  My mother-in-law requested a graduation card for a family member.  His school colors are red and black and he has a red truck.  This sketch helped me combine all of the components for this card.
For my card I started with the truck.  I stamped it, and die cut it.  Then I did some partial stamping using the balloons from the stamp set Driving By.  Next I colored in the truck and balloons.  I also added the ground using a stamp from the Trucking Along stamp set.  For the vertical piece I die cut the numbers.  Then I decided the die cut the red panel with the Rubbernecker cover die, so I could adhere the numbers and truck to the red layer.  To finish the front of the card I stamped and die cut the sentiment.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!
