Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday!  I have missed a few these past couple of weeks.  This is the card that I CASED:

For my card I started with the focal image.  I stamped, die cut, and then colored my image with Copic markers.  I matted it with a cherry cobbler circle.  Next I cut a panel out of the DSP and matted it with cherry cobbler.  Then I wrapped some crumb cake bakers twine around that panel three times, and I adhered a double bow on it.  I adhered this panel to my crumb cake card base, and then popped up the cardinal with dimensionals.  To finish the front I die cut the sentiment and adhered it to the card base.  For the inside I replicated the same panel as the front and added a sentiment on a circle die cut matted with cherry cobbler. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  I made it!  Our last day of school was last Friday!!  I squeezed in some crafty time yesterday.  I made this using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

For my card I started with the tacos. I stamped, die cut, and then colored in the tacos.  Then I punched out three circles and ink blended the bottom portions of the circles.  Then I used the same distress inks and inked up the confetti stamp to create a background for the tacos. Next I cut a strip of white card stock and stamped the sentiment.  To cover my seam in the card I die cut the stitched scallop border.  Then I just adhered everything to my card front.  For the inside I stamped the confetti background and added stitched scallop border.  I also had an extra taco so I adhered him in there also! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!!  I am headed up north tomorrow, but when I'm back I am looking forward to sharing my cards!! :)

Hello Stampers!  Happy Easter to all!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is my inspiration card:

I started with the embossed layer.  I inked up my embossing folder with antique linen ink, and ran it through the die cut machine.  I wanted a little more ink on it, so I gently added some on using the ink cube to paper.  Then I tore the paper just like the inspiration card.  Next I stamped, die cut, and colored in the focal image.  From here I worked on the sentiment.  I stamped and die cut the sentiment, and then die cut a highland heather mat.  Instead of a ribbon I used some linen thread for my ribbon treatment.  Next I cut a strip of highland heather and adhered it to the embossed layer.  From here I popped up the sentiment and adhered the florals.  To finish the card I added some brushed brass butterflies.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment, some ladybugs, and a leafy image.  I colored these in and that completed my card.

And that completes my card.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card I CASED:

For my card I started by finding a patterned paper.  I used the same packet of DSP as the featured stamper, but I used a different pattern.  Then I worked on the focal panel.  I stamped the floral image and sentiment, and colored in the floral image with Copic markers.  Then to embellish the floral image I added some gems and stamped, die cut, colored in the butterflies and popped them up on the focal panel.  From here I simply adhered everything to the card base.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment, matted it with daffodil delight, and added some of the DSP to the top.

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

Hello Stampers!  I got a bonus day off today due to the blizzard we are having right now!  So I took my cup of coffee into my craft room and got to work.  This card is for two challenges.  One being the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers: Timber.  And the other challenge is using the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.

For my card I started with the frame.  I die cut the wood grain frame, and then die cut a white panel for the inside of the frame.  I stamped my focal image onto this white panel and colored it in with Copic markers.  Next I framed the "arch" by blending Tumbled Glass ink onto the top portion of the white panel.  To the sky I die cut some whittle clouds and adhered them onto the ink blended sky. For the sentiment I stamped and die cut it with a sentiment strip die.  Then I was stuck.  I wasn't sure what to do with the sprigs that are on the sketch.  I tried grass, but that didn't look right.  So I went through my dies and found a flourish die.  It had similar leaves as the focal image, so I die cut two flourishes and cut them apart.  I adhered them flourishes to the card base and then popped up the sentiment.  I kept the inside of the card simple by die cutting a wood grain frame and stamping a sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday over at Splitcoaststampers!  Here is my inspiration card:

For my card I used a cardinal image as well and colored it in with Copic markers.  I die cut and embossed the focal image with a Spellbinders circle die.  Then I die cut a cherry cobbler frame for the focal image.  Next I picked out some patterned paper and matted it with cherry cobbler cardstock.  I added some twine and stamped and punched out the sentiment with a tag punch.  I did have to trim off the bottom of the tag as it was too long for the sentiment.  To finish the front of the card, I simply adhered the pieces to the card base.  For the inside I cut a piece of the patterned paper and matted it in evening evergreen.  Then I stamped and die cut the sentiment and matted it in cherry cobbler cardstock.

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!!

Hello Stampers!  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!  It is a dreary rainy turning into snowy day.  So it is a great day to hang out in the craft room!  I bought this Whipper Snapper set recently and didn't get a chance to use it.  The Featured Stamper Challenge gave me some inspiration to use it.  Here is the card I am CASEing:

I started with the focal image for this card, I stamped, die cut, and colored in the image.  Then I matted it in black.  The original card used a plaid patterned paper, so I found a plaid patterned paper to use on mine as well and matted it in black.  Then I adhered it to a red card base.  For the inside I stamped a sentiment, die cut it, and then matted it in black to finish the card.  Definitely a quick and easy card, but as always takes me forever to complete it. LOL!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  I was able to get into my craft room today.  I had parent teacher conferences this past week so I was not able to make a card last weekend, as I was filling out conference reports!  Ugh!  For this card I found this card to CASE for the Featured Stamper challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.

For my card I changed the orientation.  I started with a petal pink card base.  I cut a white layer and partially embossed it.  I added the petal pink ribbon to cover the seam between the embossed and non embossed sides.  Next I stamped, die cut, and colored in the focal image.  I popped it up with some dimensionals, and accented it with some gems.  For the sentiment I heat embossed it in white, die cut it, and adhered it to the white layer.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment, and die cut it.  I added a petal pink mat and that completed this card.

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

Hello Stampers!  I survived my first day of inservice!  I was excited to get home to make a card for today's Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers, the theme is weather wonder.  For my card I started by die cutting an arch and embossing it with the rain drops embossing folder.  Then I ink blended some tumbled glass on top to create the sky.  For the focal image, I stamped, die cut, and colored it in with Copics.  The bottom portion of the image did not cut out with the die cut, so I fussy cut out the puddle.  I adhered these pieces to the bottom of the arch.  Then I stamped, die cut, and highlighted the clouds with Copic markers.  Next I adhered the clouds to the arch, and glued the arch to a card base.  For the inside I ink blended the edges of the arch and stamped a sentiment.

That's all for now!  We'll see how day 2 of inservice goes... until next time!
