Thinking of You

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin' Up Friendly Foliage and old Linen Background

Ink: Stampin' Up Basic Beige, Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Pretty Peacock

Paper: Stampin' Up Basic Beige, Gina K White

Accessories: Stampin' Up: Linen Thread, Friendly Foliage Dies, double sided foam adhesive 1mm from Amazon

Hello Stampers!  I have been wanting to use this set for awhile and today I finally had what I needed and some time.  For this card I started by cutting out a basic beige card base.  Then I cut a piece of white cardstock 3.75x5, and stamped the linen background using basic beige ink. Next I stamped the foliage in old olive ink and sponged on some pretty peacock ink onto some white cardstock.  Then I adhered the double sided foam adhesive behind this image and die cut it.  For the background I cut out a layer of basic beige cardstock and inked it up with the linen background stamp and adhered this behind the foliage.  Next I stamped the sentiment in sahara sand ink.  To finish the front I adhered the foliage to the linen background and tied twine around the foliage layer and added a bow.  For the inside I kept it simple so a message could be written.

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

Hello Stampers!  I spent the day cooking yesterday, I made a big pot of chili for the week ahead.  So no card making yesterday.  I do have the get the laundry done today, so I spent my morning making this card for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card I CASED: 

For my card I started with the floral image.  I stamped, die cut, and then colored it in with copics.  Then I worked on the Sahara Sand layer.  First I ink blended the edges of the layer with a blending brush.  Then I stamped some script using the Elements of Text set.  Next I used a stencil to add some texture to the layer.  From here I laid out the ribbon to where it would be, and then I stamped my sentiment.  Then I adhered the ribbon to the layer. To finish this layer I adhered the flower and some gems.  For the inside I partially stamped the floral image and colored it in, and added a sentiment.

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

Ink: ColorBox Chianti

Hello Stampers!  Anyone else home from work today with the -45 degree wind chill?  Brr!  So what better way to stay warm, than hangin' out in the craft room!  I made this card for two challenges.  One is the Free for All Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers: Feeling a Little Square.  And the other challenge is the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches!

For my card I started by selecting a patterned paper.  I cut that patterned paper down to a square and matted it with the dark racy raspberry cardstock.  From there I found two hearts that coordinated and die cut them.  I laid them into place and worked on the sentiment.  I was looking for a stamp, but then I remembered I got the scripty love die cut and thought that would be fun.  So I ran some white cardstock through the xryon and adhered three of the love die cuts together to make it stand out more.  Now I was able to assemble the card.  I adhered everything down and then finished it off with some gems.  For the inside I kept it simple.  Although it took forever to find an ink that matched my cardstock.  Stampin' Up needs to add a cranberry color to their collection!  LOL!!  

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!  We have the day off today, so I squeezed in some crafty time this morning.  I used the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches to make this card.

I started with the focal image on this one.  First I die cut an arch and embossed it.  Then I die cut the deer in pecan pie and adhered it to the bottom of the arch.  After this I matted it with the next size up arch in pecan pie.  Then for the strip of paper I found this plaid that matched and cut a strip of it, wrapped twine around it, and adhered it to the white card base.  To finish the front I used dimensionals to pop up the focal image.  For the inside I die cut the deer scene and adhered it to the bottom, and stamped a sentiment.  And that finishes this card.

Paper: Stampin' Up Misty Moonlight 2 Tone Cardstock, Simon Says Stamp Matte Silver Cardstock, Gina K White

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories: Stampin' Up Misty Moonlight Ribbon, Peace on Earth Dies, Peaceful Greenery Embossing Folder

Hello Stampers!  Guess what!!!  I found my embossing folder.  It turns out that when I ran it through my die cut machine it warped my folder a bit.  So I put it under something heavy to see if it would flatten out!  So since I found it I just had to use it!!  I started out by embossing a layer on the misty moonlight 2 tone cardstock.  Then I sanded the embossed image to bring the white through.  I next added the ribbon.  For the sentiment I stamped it to the right side of the die cut so there would be room for the dove.  I adhered the sentiment with dimensionals and then popped up a silver dove as well.  Lastly I adhered this to the white card base.  For the inside I used the same label dies and stamped the sentiment and matted it.  I also adhered a silver dove to the inside as well.  

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

Accessories: Stampin' Up Stitched Square Dies, Real Red Ribbon, Dimensionals, Gina K Mini Snowflakes, Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders, Copic Markers

Hello Stampers!  Have you ever misplaced one of your craft supplies?  I had an idea for the featured stamper challenge today and I could not find the embossing folder I wanted to use.  I looked EVERYWHERE!  I spent at least an hour looking in places where I thought it might be and no luck.  I'm so frustrated, I still haven't found it.  I'm sure I'll find it when I am least expecting to.  Needless to say I went a different route for my card design today.  Here is the card from the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.

For my card I started by stamping my focal image and die cutting it.  Then I used the Lawn Fawn border dies to ground my images.  After this I colored in my image with Copic markers, and glued on some mini snowflakes.  I matted the focal image in red.  From here I picked out some DSP and cut it out, and added a ribbon.  I adhered this layer to my 4.25x4.25 card base.  Then to finish the card I popped up my focal image in the center.  I kept the inside simple today.

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

I started by stamping, die cutting, and coloring my flowers.  Then I cut a black mat for each of the flowers, and I popped the flowers up onto the black mat.  I found some patterned paper to go behind the flowers.  I cut a strip of this paper and matted it with black cardstock.  Next I adhered the flowers to the card base.  For the inside I stamped and die cut the sentiment, and adhered it to the inside of the card.
