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

For my card I started with the circle elements of the sketch.  I used the Splash and Relax dies to use for these elements.  For the strip of paper of the sketch I stamped the sentiment on white card stock and then snipped the ends so the ends would have a slanted edge.  For the piece under the sentiment I went with a strip of lemon lime twist.  Next I cut a piece of pool party card stock and embossed it with the soft waves embossing folder.  To finish I adhered everything together, and then added some bling.  For the inside I die cut the flip flops and sunglasses and adhered them in the corner, and then for the sentiment I stamped it on white and matted it with a scalloped rectangle.  And that completes my card.

For my card I started by die cutting a large white circle, and then I filled it with summer die cuts. Next I cut a piece of coastal cabana 4.25x8.5 and scored it at 4.25.  I embossed the card front with the soft waves embossing folder.  For the sentiment I stamped it in coastal cabana and die cut it with a sentiment strip die.  For the inside I added a few summer die cuts.

Vintage Candy Canes

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin' Up Sweet Candy Canes, Clearly Besotted Sweet Little Sentiments

Ink: Gina K Kraft, Stampin' Up Real Red

Paper: Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Authentique Christmastime 6x6 paper pad

Accessories: Stampin' Up Sweet Candy Canes Dies, Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strips Dies, May Arts Twine

Hello Stampers!  Yet another candy cane card!  For this one I used the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.

For my card I started by picking out some patterned paper.  After I cut it into a square layer, I inked up the edges to give it an even more distressed look.  Then I adhered it to my cherry cobbler card base.  Next I cut out a very vanilla square and inked up the edges as well, and matted it with cherry cobbler cardstock.  Next up were the candy canes.  I originally stamped them in cherry cobbler, but they were so dark being on the very vanilla cardstock they looked black.  So I tried it with real red ink and that was a closer match to the patterned paper.  So I stamped and die cut the candy canes, and then I inked up the edges of the candy canes as well to keep the distressed look.  I adhered them together, added a twine bow, and adhered them to the square.  For the sentiment I stamped, die cut, inked up the edges, and popped it up over the candy canes.  For the inside, I embellished it with some of the patterned paper and added a sentiment.  I inked up all of the edges to finish the inside.

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! :)

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

I started by selecting colors for the blooms.  Next I cut a white panel and die cut it with the handmade quilt cover plate.  Then I die cut a bunch of flowers and leaves, and arranged them to coordinate with the sketch.  When I finished I took a picture so as I moved the pieces to adhere them to the card I could remember where to put them.  To finish the front I heat embossed a sentiment and die cut it using a sentiment strip from Gina K's master layout 4 set.  Lastly, I decided to pop up the sentiment.  For the inside I stamped a sentiment and then die cut a couple of flowers for the inside.

That's all for now!  Thanks so much 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 again Stampers!  I'm back with another card.  This one is for the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers: Think Spring, and the Freshly Made Sketches Sketch of the Week!

I started with the tag on this one.  I die cut the swiss dot patterned paper and then added a punch art daisy.  For the sentiment I die cut it three times and adhered them together.  This was tricky because it is so dainty!  To finish the tag I added some black and white twine to the top of the tag.  For the left portion of the sketch I embossed a white strip of paper with the swiss dots embossing folder, and cut a slim strip of black cardstock and adhered it to card base.   After this was adhered to the card base I popped up the tag using dimensionals.  For the inside I again embossed a white strip with the swiss dots embossing folder and added a black strip of paper.  I also added a punch art small daisy and adhered it to the inside.

That's all for now, see you next weekend!

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!!

For my card I started with the Santa die cut.  First I cut out a piece of cherry cobbler cardstock, and then ran it through the die cut machine leaving an even border around the Santa.  Next I cut a piece of the snowflake paper slightly smaller than my cherry cobbler rectangle, and adhered the Santa to it.  Then I went on a hunt for a sentiment that would fit the space.  I found this Merry Christmas, stamped it and die cut it.  Next I cut the background layer and embossed it with the snowflake sky embossing folder, and matted it in cherry cobbler.  Then all I had to do was adhere everything down onto the white card base.  For the inside I stamped my sentiment and added some stars.

Hello Stampers!  Long time, no stamp!  Tis the season to be busy!  I saw the

sketch of the week over at Freshly Made Sketches, and I thought of this die right away.  To start my card I cut my card base and layers.  Then I die cut the evergreen circle out of the top layer.  Next I cut a layer slightly smaller than the top layer and embossed it with the snowflake sky embossing folder.  I adhered this to the back of the front layer.  After this I assembled Rudolph and tucked him in the bottom of the evergreen circle.  Then I die cut the Christmas lights in white and used my copic markers to color them red, and I used a silver pen to add detail to the top of the lights.  I adhered this to the bottom of the evergreen circle.  Next I stamped the sentiment, die cut the banner, and adhered it to the card.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment and embellished it with the same string of lights from the front.

That's all for now!!  Have a great week!!

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made for Freshly Made Sketches!  

I decided to turn the elements of this sketch into Christmas gifts!  I found some patterned papers that went well together, and then I cut them into the shapes of the sketch.  I added some real red twine for the bows on the gifts.  When I laid the gifts onto my white card base, I felt it needed some texture.  I decided to emboss the card front.  Next I adhered the gifts to the card base.  The upper left gift I adhered directly to the card base, the upper right gift I used thin foam squares, and for the bottom right gift I used Stampin' Up dimensionals.  For the sentiment I stamped, die cut, and adhered it with dimensionals and thin foam squares to the card.  For the inside I embellished it with some of the DSP, and then stamped a sentiment.

Many Happy Wishes

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made using the sketch of the week over at Freshly Made Sketches.

For my card I started with the flower.  I stamped it and then I die cut it.  Then I used the decorative masks to blend color onto this flower.  Next I cut out a card base using Gina K's heavy base weight cardstock.  For the middle of the card I wanted some texture.  I chose the tiny crosses texture die.  I thought the little crosses complimented the shape of the flower petals.  So to do this I turned the texture plate 90 degrees so it would only add texture to the center of the card.  I wanted the top and bottom to be plain white.  Next I cut 2 strips of the gingham paper.  For the top strip I added a stitched scalloped border behind the gingham paper.  I adhered these two strips to the card base.  For the sentiment I stamped, heat embossed, die cut, and adhered it to the card base.  To finish the front I added some dimensionals to the flower and popped it up onto the card base, and then I added some gems to give it a little sparkle.  For the inside I made another gingham strip with a highland heather scalloped edge.  And I die cut the sentiment.
