Hello Stampers!  Yet another candy cane card!  For this one I used the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.

For my card I started by picking out some patterned paper.  After I cut it into a square layer, I inked up the edges to give it an even more distressed look.  Then I adhered it to my cherry cobbler card base.  Next I cut out a very vanilla square and inked up the edges as well, and matted it with cherry cobbler cardstock.  Next up were the candy canes.  I originally stamped them in cherry cobbler, but they were so dark being on the very vanilla cardstock they looked black.  So I tried it with real red ink and that was a closer match to the patterned paper.  So I stamped and die cut the candy canes, and then I inked up the edges of the candy canes as well to keep the distressed look.  I adhered them together, added a twine bow, and adhered them to the square.  For the sentiment I stamped, die cut, inked up the edges, and popped it up over the candy canes.  For the inside, I embellished it with some of the patterned paper and added a sentiment.  I inked up all of the edges to finish the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  While I had this Candy Cane set out, I decided to make another card with it.  For this card I started with the tag.  I die cut the two layers and adhered them together.  Next I stamped and die cut the candy canes, adhered them to the tag, and added a bow.  To embellish the tag a bit more I stamped the greenery, die cut them, and adhered them to the back of the tag.  To finish the tag I tied on some of the stitched ribbon at the top of the tag.  For the background to this card I started with a Real Red card base.  Next I die cut to A2 layers, one of which I die cut using the background die.  I adhered these two layers together and then adhered them to the red card base.  For the inside I stamped and die cut the sentiment, and adhered it to the scalloped mat.  I stamped and die cut more of the greenery to adhere behind the sentiment.  And that completes this card! :)

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  The challenge was to use something on your desk.  I happened to have the Sweet Candy Canes set on my desk, because I am borrowing it from my Mom.  For my card I stamped and die cut the candy canes.  I embellished the candy canes with dies from the Sounds of Seasons set and a bow from May Arts twine.  I popped this up onto a white layer and matted the white layer with real red cardstock.  Behind the focal image I have two strips of real red cardstock that I embossed and inked up with white craft ink so you could see the candy canes. I arranged and adhered the pieces to the card, and then stamped the senitment.  For the inside I hand a strip of the embossed candy cane cardstock, so I adhered that inside with a sentiment.  And that completes my card.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  Long time no stamp!  I'm not sure where the month of June went.  I'm here to share a birthday card that I made for my brother, his birthday is coming up at the end of July.  For my card I started by die cutting the golfer in black.  Then I die cut a three inch circle from a piece of the Scenic Coast paper pad for the background, and I adhered the die cut to the circle.  I decided to made a 4.25x4.25 card so I cut out a black card base, and 4x4 inch white layer.  When I laid it out the white layer needed something.  So I went through my card front dies, and found a sunburst one that I liked.  After I die cut the white layer I adhered it to the black card base.  To finish the front I popped up the focal image with dimensionals.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment and added a die cut golfer.  And that completes my card!  Now to start working on Christmas cards and tags!

Hello Stampers!  I made it!  Our last day of school was last Friday!!  I squeezed in some crafty time yesterday.  I made this using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

For my card I started with the tacos. I stamped, die cut, and then colored in the tacos.  Then I punched out three circles and ink blended the bottom portions of the circles.  Then I used the same distress inks and inked up the confetti stamp to create a background for the tacos. Next I cut a strip of white card stock and stamped the sentiment.  To cover my seam in the card I die cut the stitched scallop border.  Then I just adhered everything to my card front.  For the inside I stamped the confetti background and added stitched scallop border.  I also had an extra taco so I adhered him in there also! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!!  I am headed up north tomorrow, but when I'm back I am looking forward to sharing my cards!! :)

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

For my card I started with some ink smooshing.  I didn't have any of the DSP for the water so I created my own.  Then I die cut and adhered the rolling waves dies in vellum and white, and adhered it to the ocean water layer.  Next I cut a piece of crumb cake cardstock and adhered the ocean to the top, stamped some sand where the Adirondack chair was supposed to go, and then adhered the Adirondack chair.  I tucked in a birthday sentiment using crumb cake ink.  To finish the front I adhered this layer to a white card base.  For the inside I used some of the ink smooshed cardstock and die cut the white foam to create an ocean layer on the inside.  To finish the card I stamped a sentiment.  I love this set and how detailed the ocean shore is.

Accessories: Spellbinders Cattails, Stampin' Up More Messages Die, Something Fancy Dies

Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday over at Splitcoaststampers!  Here is the card I CASED:

For my card I started with the background.  I inked up my acrylic block with distress inks and spritzed it with water.  Then I took my white piece of cardstock and placed it on the block.  I did this three times until I got one that I liked.  I let it dry as I worked on the other components of the card.  I ran some black cardstock through the Zyron and die cut the cattails twice.  Then I stamped the sentiment and die cut it.  I also stamped the sentiment on the inside and die cut it and matted it with black.  By this time my inked panel was dry.  I adhered the inked panel to a black mat, and adhered it to my card front.  Then I popped up the sentiment.  For the inside I adhered the sentiment and used a partial die cut of the cattails as well.  And that completed my card!
