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!

Hello Stampers!  I made a card today for the Just Add Ink Challenge.  The challenge was to pick two from the following choices: Gingham, Circles, Flowers, or Sequins.  I picked gingham and flowers for my card.  I started my card by assembling the sunflower die cut.  I cut out the pieces and then inked up the edges of the sunflower petals and the leaves.  Next I found some black gingham paper for the bottom portion of the card.  After this I decided to emboss the top portion of the card.  Once I had this embossed I taped the embossed portion and the gingham portion together on the back.  I did this so I could hide the twine from the inside of the card.  I wrapped the twine around the seam of the two pieces of paper three times.  Next I adhered the sunflower, and added a twine bow.  To finish the front I stamped and die cut the sentiment.  I cut the mini dimensionals in half to adhere the sentiment.  For the inside I embellished it with the gingham DSP and added a sentiment.  And that completes my card!

Buzzing By to Say Hi

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin' Up Meant to Bee, Great Impressions (sentiment)

Ink: Stampin' Up Basic Black, Daffodil Delight

Paper: Gina K White, Stampin' Up Pool Party

Accessories: Cuttlebug Embossing Strips, Honey Bee Clear Gems, Stampin' Up Dimensionals

Hello Stampers!  I'm poppin' in to share a card I made for two challenges: Splitcoaststampers Ways to Use It: Stripes, Doodled Lines, or Linewash and the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.

 

For my card I started with the diagonal lines.  I found some Cuttlebug embossing strips in my collection that would work perfectly for these lines.  First I embossed the hexagons, then I had an embossing strip with just dots and I embossed the dots on each side of the hexagons.  So then it was onto the bees.  I stamped and fussy cut these out.  I arranged them onto the card, and decided to stamp some of the bee trail for the bottom and top bees.  After this I popped up the bees with the bee trail and tucked in the third bee.  I decided to add a little bling with some clear gems.  And to finish the front of the card I stamped my sentiment.  For the inside I used the hexagon embossing strip and made another bee to embellish it.  

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

Hello Stampers!  I made this card for two challenges: Splitcoaststampers Clean and Simple: Gems and CAS Christmas Challenge: Santa's Sleigh. For my card I started with the focal image.  I stamped it on Eclipse masking paper and then fussy cut it out.  Next I stamped the focal image on white card stock and die cut it with one of the everyday arches dies.  I applied the masking paper onto the image and then ink blended a night sky.  I removed the masking paper, colored in the images with Copic markers, and added some gems.  I decided to mat this image in black.  For the card base I die cut it with the snowfall card front die, and then adhered my focal image onto the card base.  For the inside I used the same everyday arches dies and stamped a sentiment.
