Happy Easter



 Supplies:
Stamps: Stampin' Up Welcome Easter and Delightful Dozen
Paper: Gina K White, Yellow from stash, Everett Road Springtime Paper Packs
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Lawn Fawn Mini Easter Eggs Dies, Stampin' Up Spotlight on Nature Dies, Waffle Flower Nesting Circles Dies, Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strips Dies, Copic Markers

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card that I made for the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers!  The challenge was to color, so I colored in my bunny with Copic markers.  I die cut it with a circle die, added a circular yellow mat, and a decorative circle die cut.  Then I stamped and die cut the sentiment.  I cut a strip of purple patterned paper and adhered it to the card front.  Then I adhered the focal image and sentiment to the card front.  For the inside I stamped and die cut the sentiment, and adhered it to a strip of purple patterned paper.  And to finish the inside I die cut some eggs and adhered them inside the card.  And that completes my card! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Mother's Day


Supplies:
Stamps: Stampin' Up Spotlight On Nature, Stampin' Up Mother's Day greeting unknown
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and Stampin' Up Bubble Bath
Paper: Gina K White and Stampin' Up Bubble Bath
Accessories: Stampin' Up Delightful Wishes Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Linen Thread, Dimensionals, Copic Markers, Honey Bee Gems

Hello Stampers!  I made this for two challenges.  The first being the CAS on Friday's theme challenge Spring, and the other Featured Stamper challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  This week we are honoring individuals in the stamping community that have passed away.  One individual in particular, Polly.  And here is the card that I CASED, the last card that she posted on SCS.  For my card I started with the focal image.  I stamped, die cut, colored the floral image, and then added some bling.  I also stamped, colored, and fussy cut out the butterfly.  Then I cut a piece of bubble bath card stock, and die cut the accent corners to frame the focal image.  Before I adhered everything I laid it out to make sure I liked it.  But it was missing something in that bottom left hand corner.  So I decided to emboss the pink layer with a swiss dots embossing folder, Nope!  That wasn't the answer to my problem.  So I started again with the bubble bath cardstock, and die cut the corners.  Then I tried some linen thread.  It looked funny to go over the die cut accent, so I went through the die cut corner!  It added just that little something.  This time I adhered it altogether, and popped up the butterfly with some dimensionals.  For the inside I did some simple stamping.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Happy Father's Day



Supplies:
Stamps: SU Moon Lake, Stampabilities: Happy Father's Day
Paper:  Gina K White, SU Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow, Timeless Plaid 6x6 DSP
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and SU Crumb Cake
Accessories: Ribbon from stash, Waffle Flower Nesting Circles Dies, SU Spotlight On Nature Dies, Banners Framelits Dies, Copic Markers

Hello Stampers!  I made a card today using the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  

For my card I started by picking out my DSP for the banner.  Then I picked out the focal image.  I stamped, die cut, and colored it in with Copics.  I wanted to add some color behind the design of the circle die cut, so I die cut a plain circle out of Mossy Meadows and adhered it behind the focal image. Then I picked out some ribbon and adhered it to the Crumb Cake layer.  Then I worked on the banner.  I decided to pop this up since the ribbon added some dimension.  Before I adhered to the Crumb Cake layer I cut the banner in half.  I adhered the top portion to the top of the Crumb Cake layer, and then I popped up the bottom portion towards the bottom.  This stretched out my banner enough for the card sketch.  So I adhered the focal image with pop dots as well.  The inside I kept really simple.  I stamped my sentiment and die cut it with the same circle as the front. 

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

Merry Christmas


Supplies:
Stamps: SU Cherish the Season
Ink: SU Sahara Sand
Paper: Gina K White, SU Sahara Sand and Tidings of Christmas 6x6 DSP
Accessories:  SU Giving Gifts Dies, Heffy Doodle: Scripty Merry Christmas Shadow Dies, Honey Bee Gems, Taylor Expressions: Make a Snowflake Dies

Hello Stampers!  I have used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches to make this card.  I started by die cutting the snowflake rectangles three times.  Then I wasn't sure where I was going to go with this.  I thought about ink blending a background, but then I was going through my DSP and found a piece from Tidings of Christmas that I liked.  The pattern was small and dainty and it didn't take away from the die cut snowflakes.  So I adhered my DSP behind the snowflake panels.  Next was time for the sentiment.  I pulled out a few die cuts and settled on the Heffy Doodle Merry Christmas.  I liked this one because it had a shadow.  So I adhered this to the bottom snowflake panel.  To finish the front I added some gems to the center of the snowflakes.  For the inside I kept it simple.  I added some of the same DSP, stamped my sentiment, and added a couple of die cut snowflakes.

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

Stamps: Stampin' Up Made for You, Inside Sentiment: Papertrey Ink
Paper: Gina K White, SU Berry Burst
Ink: SU Berry Burst
Accessories: SU Spring Corners Dies, SU Textured Notes Dies, May Arts Twine

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.

For my card I started by die cutting the white rectangle.  Then I die cut the corner flower out of this piece, and stamped my sentiment in the upper right corner. Next I added some twine under the sentiment.  To finish the front I matted the white layer to a piece of Berry Burst cardstock, and adhered this to my card base.  I kept the inside simple, by die cutting the white rectangle, matting it with Berry Burst cardstock, and stamping a senitment.

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