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!

Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday!  Here is my inspiration:

I chose the card on the left as my inspiration.  I really liked how she used blues instead of greens on her poinsettia, with the accents of gold.  For my card I blended the image using the layered stencils.  Then I die cut the Merry Christmas in gold and outlined it in white, and popped it up onto the focal panel.  Then I added some gold gems.  I adhered this to the real red card front, and then worked on the inside.  I decided to die cut a poinsettia, and heat embossed the sentiment in gold to go with the front.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card that I made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the scrapbook layout that I used as an inspiration for my card:

To start my card I blended a panel with Distress Inks to create the sunset sky.  Then I stamped the pine trees on this panel.  I matted this in black using the dotted border die, it is hard to see this detail in the picture.  Then I adhered this focal image to the DSP, and stamped the the Happy Birthday using my MISTI.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment and added a circle branch border to it.

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

Supplies:
Stamps: A Muse Thanks Script
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: Gina K Kraft and White, Stampin' Up Granny Apple Green, Real Red, Daffodil Delight
Accessories: Taylored Expressions Little Bits-Apple Coin, Score Board, Dimensionals

Hello Stampers!  It's Sunday and you know what that means!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card I CASED:

For my card I used the apple coin die and die cut all of the pieces to the apples.  I used double score lines to frame the apples, and then I stamped the sentiment using my trusty ol' Stamp a ma Jig.  I kept the inside simple so that I can write a message inside.

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