Thanks


Supplies:

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: Gina K Kraft and White, Stampin' Up Granny Apple Green, Real Red, Daffodil Delight
Accessories: Taylored Expressions Little Bits-Apple Coin, Score Board, Dimensionals

Hello Stampers!  It's Sunday and you know what that means!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card I CASED:

For my card I used the apple coin die and die cut all of the pieces to the apples.  I used double score lines to frame the apples, and then I stamped the sentiment using my trusty ol' Stamp a ma Jig.  I kept the inside simple so that I can write a message inside.

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

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!

Happy Easter

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Lawn Fawn Mini Easter Eggs Dies, Stampin' Up Spotlight on Nature Dies, Waffle Flower Nesting Circles Dies, Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strips Dies, Copic Markers

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! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
