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.  I will come back and edit this post to include the inside of this card. 

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!!

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!

Hello Stampers!  Happy Easter!!  I had some time to make a card this morning, so I made a card for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card I CASED:

For my card I die cut the frame, and then cut out the center in white.  I picked out a couple of Distress Inks to ink blend the background sky.  Then I stamped the pine trees and bird, and then colored in the bird with a copic marker.  I embossed the front with a tree embossing folder.  I added some twine, but decided not to add a bow and just knotted it since it was more of a masculine card.  For the inside I stamped and die cut a sentiment.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Look Who's Turning 100!

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin' Up Number of Years

Paper: Gina K White and Stampin' Up Daffodil Delight

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin' Up Daffodil Delight and Garden Green

Accessories: Hero Arts Oval Infinity Dies, Julie Hickey Sweet Pea Numbers Die Set, Stampin' Up Ribbon, Honey Bee Gems, Concord & 9th: Quilted Card Front Die

Hello Stampers!  My Mother-in-Law asked me to make a 100th Birthday Card for my husband's Great Aunt.  She is turning 100 early this May.  I knew I had to incorporate flowers because on special occasions she would take flower petals from the arrangements, and created beautifully framed art after she pressed the flowers.  We are lucky that we have a few of her creations, and we will always treasure them.  

For my card I started by stamping the floral images.  Then I die cut this using an oval die cut.  Next it was time for the numbers.  I die cut the 100 out of the floral images, and set them aside.  I cut four layers of the 100 out of daffodil delight cardstock.  So now I had to adhere the yellow numbers to the floral image.  Before I did that I needed to die cut a daffodil delight oval mat so I had something to adhere the numbers to.  I stacked and adhered the yellow numbers, and then topped them off with the original numbers I had cut out.  To add some detail I added some gems to the center of the flowers and used my Misti to stamp Look Who's Turning at the top of the oval.  Next I cut out a white layer and used the quilted card front die to add some texture to the background.  Before I adhered this to the card base I wanted to add something at the bottom of the oval, it looked off balance to me.  So I found this thin ribbon and wrapped it around the white layer to ground the flowers, and added a bow.  Now all I had to do was adhere it to the card base.  For the inside I mimicked the front using the same quilted card front die, and the same ovals.  I simply stamped the sentiment in the oval.

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

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! :)
