Hello Stampers!!!  I'm here to share a card I made for a couple of challenges.  The first one is the Featured Stamper Challenge, and the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  

For my card I started by die cutting the squares three times and layered them.  Then I cut a layer of white card stock and used the stitched basket weave cover plate to add some texture.  Next I die cut this piece using the stem triptych die.  I also die cut the blue paper to have a background to the flowers.  Next I inlaid the stems and blue background.  For the flowers I die cut them using bubble bath card stock.  I popped them up with some foam tape, and added a gem to the center.  For the sentiment I stamped and die cut it, and adhered it to my card.  For the inside, I kept it simple, a die cut sentiment.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card that I made for the Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  This is my inspiration picture that I chose.  I decided to make my card white on white.  For my card I started by cutting a card base 5"x10", and then I die cut and embossed the square opening on the card front.  For the sunflowers I embossed a 4.75x4.75 and adhered it to the back of the card front.  Then I used my stamp a ma jig to stamp the sentiment.  For the inside I did the opposite.  I die cut a square opening and then ran it through an embossing folder.  I adhered this to the inside and then stamped a sentiment.

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

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

For my card I decided to add some angles to make it look like the butterfly is flying.  I started by selecting my embossing folders.  This wasn't easy!  But I narrowed it down and picked two.  I cut my diagonal pieces and embossed them.  Then I stamped the sentiment, and adhered the butterfly with dimensionals.  For the inside I duplicated this look, but made the diagonal sections smaller, and stamped a sentiment.

Hello Stampers!  I'm back from our week up north!  It was a chilly week but we still had a nice time.  I'm a bit late posting this featured stamper challenge card.  I started it last night, but was not able to finish it.  So this morning I finished it.  Here is the card that I CASED:

For my card I started with the focal image.  I stamped, die cut, and then colored in the image with Copic markers.  Then I matted it with some sweet sorbet cardstock.  For the background I chose to just have one diagonal cut.  I taped the two pieces together on the back, and matted it with some sweet sorbet cardstock.  For the flourishes, I used an oldie but goodie flourish punch from EK Success.  I adhered these to the back of the focal image, and then adhered it to the patterned paper layer.  Once that was in place I adhered the layers together.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment and bees.  And colored in the bees to finish this card.

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

Hello Stampers!  It's been awhile!  I was busy finishing up my last couple of weeks of school.  Our last day was Friday, I don't think it has sunk in that it is summer yet.  Maybe it will tonight when I don't have to set an alarm!! :)

My card today is for 2 challenges.  One is the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers: Make a Masculine card, and the other is the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches. 

For my card I started by picking out two pieces of patterned paper that coordinated, and getting them cut out.  For the focal image I stamped, die cut, stamped the sentiment, and colored the image.  I adhered the two patterned papers down, and then popped up the airplane.  For the inside I had a piece of the cloud paper, so I stamped and die cut the sentiment and adhered it to the patterned paper.

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

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.

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.

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! :)

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!
