Hello Stampers!  My Mother-in-Law requested that I make a 65th Year Anniversary card for her sister and brother-in-law.  I looked up the color for 65 years of marriage and it is sapphire.  I did get some inspiration from Pinterest for this card.   

I liked the florals they used and the layout of the card.  To start this card I stamped the sentiment.  I had to do this 3 times (3 times a charm!) before I got one that was straight!  Then I die cut the stitched label in silver and matted my sentiment with it dimensionals.  Next up were the flowers.  I stamped the flowers in night of navy onto boho blue cardstock, and punched them out.  Next I used the sprig punch and punched out silver and night of navy sprigs and layered them behind the flowers.  For the white background I embossed it with the softly woven embossing folder.  I added a boho blue mat behind this, and then adhered it to the night of navy card base.  Then to finish the front I simply adhered everything down.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment in night of navy ink and then stamped the flowers with boho blue ink in the corners.  And that completed this card.   

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers! I'm back to share a card I made for the Sunday Stamps Color Challenge: Just Beachy

 

I chose to ink blend these colors onto my tag as a background to my spooky scene.  After I ink blended the background I created a scene with the dies and stamps from Oh My Fright.  I finished the tag off by tying on some linen thread around the gingham ribbon.  Next I cut my card base and embossed the front with the Swirls of Magic embossing folder.  Now to assemble.  First I adhered the star swirls to the card base, and then I popped up the tag with dimensionals.  For the inside I used stamps and dies from the Oh My Fright sets, and the little jack o lantern is from the Trio of Tags dies set.  That's all for now!

Accessories: Gina K Snow Much Love Dies, Stampin' Up Poinsettia Dies and Gold Striped Ribbon, Memory Box La Rue Flourish, Papertrey Ink Handmade Quilt Cover Plate Die, Park Lane Gold Gems, Simon Says Stamp Ultra Fine Gold Embossing Powder

Hello Stampers!!  I made this card using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

I started my card with the focal image.  I had a couple different poinsettia die sets and chose to use the Stampin' Up set.  So I die cut and embellished the poinsettia with some gold gems in the center of the flower.  Then I die cut the flourish and adhered my poinsettia to it.  I had this positioned onto some white cardstock, but I felt it needed some texture.  So I die cut a white layer with the papertrey ink cover plate.  I added some ribbon and a sentiment and adhered my elements to the white layer.  I added a gold mat, and adhered it all to a cherry cobbler card base which is 5x5.  For the inside I heat embossed the sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!  Well as much as I don't want summer to end, I have to go back to school for inservice tomorrow.  I am going to miss all of my crafty afternoons in my craft room.  Back to being a weekend crafter. :( 

For today's card I used the sketch from Sunday Stamps.  Here is the sketch:

I saw a tutorial on Facebook this morning that I wanted to try, and this sketch allowed me to do so.  For my focal image I added ink to the sunflower with blending brushes.  Then when I was done I swiped the secret sea ink pad over the top and wow does that make the sunflowers pop!  I love it!  I matted my focal image with secret sea card stock.  Then I cut out a layer of green patterned paper for the strip across, and I adhered both to a white card base.  I had this birthday sentiment left over from a card I made this afternoon, and it fit perfectly onto this card.  For the inside I simple stamped and matted a sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a great week!

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

As soon as I saw this card I thought of the blooming sunflower image by Gina K.  I stamped, die cut, and colored in my image.  Then I picked out some patterned paper, and created the background like her card has.  After this I stamped and die cut the sentiment.  For the last component I decided to use the greenery background die on the front card base.  To finish it off I adhered it altogether, and added a couple of gems for some sparkle.  For the inside I stamped and die cut the sentiment and matted it with the same burlap dsp as the front.  I decided that it needed a bit more color so I added a strip of the patterned paper as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
