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.  

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.

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.

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!

Merry Christmas

Supplies:

Stamps: SU Cherish the Season

Ink: SU Sahara Sand

Paper: Gina K White, SU Sahara Sand and Tidings of Christmas 6x6 DSP

Accessories:  SU Giving Gifts Dies, Heffy Doodle: Scripty Merry Christmas Shadow Dies, Honey Bee Gems, Taylor Expressions: Make a Snowflake Dies

Hello Stampers!  I have used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches to make this card.  I started by die cutting the snowflake rectangles three times.  Then I wasn't sure where I was going to go with this.  I thought about ink blending a background, but then I was going through my DSP and found a piece from Tidings of Christmas that I liked.  The pattern was small and dainty and it didn't take away from the die cut snowflakes.  So I adhered my DSP behind the snowflake panels.  Next was time for the sentiment.  I pulled out a few die cuts and settled on the Heffy Doodle Merry Christmas.  I liked this one because it had a shadow.  So I adhered this to the bottom snowflake panel.  To finish the front I added some gems to the center of the snowflakes.  For the inside I kept it simple.  I added some of the same DSP, stamped my sentiment, and added a couple of die cut snowflakes.

That's all for now, thanks for stopping by!

Wishing You a Happy Birthday

Supplies:

Stamps: SU Delightful Wishes and Verses: Happy Wishes

Paper: Gina K White and Kraft, SU Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Pecan Pie

Ink: SU Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive

Accessories: SU Delightful Wishes Dies, Honey Bee White Gems, Concord & Ninth Basket Weave Die

Hello Stampers!  I made a card using the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  

For my card I started by die cutting a bunch of flowers and leaves and assembling them.  I wasn't sure how I was going to arrange them so I played around until I decided on the floral layout.  Then I die cut the sentiment "Wishing."  I wanted to put the sentiment "you a Happy Birthday" but the label die was too long.  So I stamped the sentiment, die cut it, and then moved the sentiment over a bit and die cut the label on one side again to shorten it and it fit!  I had everything layed out on the kraft card panel, and I felt like it needed some texture.  So I found the basket weave die and ran it through the die cut machine.  I liked the look, so I adhered the flowers and sentiment to the kraft panel.  I also found these white gems by Honey Bee in my pile of embellishments and thought they would be a fun addition to add some sparkle.  To finish the card I adhered the kraft panel to a white card base.  For the inside, I stamped a few flowers and a sentiment.  

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