Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers, the theme is World Letter Writing Day.  For my card I started wby die cutting the envelope.  Then I die cut the paper that goes in the envelope, stamped the sentiment on it, and slid it in the envelope.  to secure the envelope and note I used a flower brad that matched the patterned paper.  Next I picked out another patterned paper as the background, and die cut it into a square.  I die cut the scalloped square out of navy cardstock to mat this. to finish the front I adhered my layers together and popped up the envelope using dimensionals.  For the inside I found another strip of patterned paper and adhered it in the card, leaving room to write a note.

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

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  The theme for this week's challenge is water.  For my card I made a mini slimline card, using Gina K's Master Layouts 7.  I stamped, die cut, and colored in the loon images.  I matted them with a black cardstock circle in order to have them stand out.  Then I die cut the layers.  I did add a ribbon treatment before popping up the loons.  I also added a stamped sentiment.  For the inside I kept it simple by adding some cat tails and a sentiment.

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

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

I was drawn to this card because of the use of black.  It really caught my eye.  I also really like the look of the white wash technique.  I heat embossed the floral image and die cut it using a circle die.  Then I did the white wash and let it dry while I finished the card.  To mat this image I die cut the decorative circle out of black, and die cut a white circle to go behind it to highlight the decorative edge.  I also cut out a card base and added a white and a black layer.  By this time my image was dry.  I wanted to add some color on top of the white wash, so I got out my water brush and some melon mambo ink and applied ink to the florals, then I added some old olive to the leaves.  It is very faint but there is some color.  I think I should have used more white ink to allow those colors to stand out.  I took this circle and popped it up on the decorative circle, added some sheer ribbon, and adhered my layers together.  For the inside I did some simple stamping.

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!

Hello Stampers!  I am sharing a card I made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is my inspiration card:

For my card I started by stamping and die cutting my floral images.  Then I needed to find some patterned paper and decide what color scheme to go for.  I found some sahara sand patterned paper with a simple pattern, and that led me to use sahara sand for the card.  I cut a piece of sahara sand and a strip of the patterned paper.  I adhered the patterned paper to the bottom of the cardstock.  I inked up my blending brush with sahara sand and inked up the edges.  Then I used post its to cover up the patterned paper.  I took one of the stamps from Elements of Text and randomly partially stamped this on the top portion of the card.  For the sentiment I used my trusty stamp a ma jib and stamped it in early espresso so it would stand out against the background.  Next I added some linen thread with a bow.  To finish this card panel I used dimensionals to pop up the floral image.  For the inside I cut a sahara sand panel and inked up the edges.  I stamped my sentiment and adhered another floral image.  

Well it is back to work tomorrow as my summer vacation has come to an end.  Back to weekend stamping! :(

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card that I made today.  We lost power at noon today, and as the storm passed it brightened up outside.  Which means I was able to do a little crafting to pass the time until our power came back on.  For this card I ink blended a panel and stamped the grassy image on top.  I adhered this to the card base and then I cut a thin strip of black cardstock and adhered one to each side of the panel.  For the sentiment I stamped, die cut, and popped it up onto the card.  For the inside I stamped a different grassy image and stamped, die cut, and adhered the sentiment inside the card.  I'm happy to report our power came back on around 3:00!!  Now it is time to cheer on the Brewers!!

Hello Stampers!!!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.   The theme of the week is "Summer Fun."  To make my card I started with the truck.  I inked up the solid truck with pear pizzazz ink, and then I lightly sponged on some cajun craze ink at the bottom to give the truck a rusty look.  Then I stamped the outline of the truck on top of this.  To give it that beachy, summery feel I stamped the palm trees, surf board, and beach ball in the back and colored them with copic markers.  Then I fussy cut this out.  For the background I die cut a circled and ink blended a summery sky, and added some sandpaper at the bottom of the circle to ground the truck.  To finish up the focal image I stamped, die cut, and popped up the sentiment on the circle.  Now for the card front I decided to emboss it with the soft waves embossing folder, and adhere it to a pool party card base.  I adhered my focal image to the background to finish up the front of this card.  For the inside I die cut a palm tree and added a bit of sandpaper at the bottom, leaving room to add a note.  And that completes my card.

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.

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Clean and Simple challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  The theme for their challenge is: Chocolate.  For my card I started by punching out a bunch of M&M's and adhering a small white circle behind it so you could see the white m.  I decided to make a jar card so I cut out a jar card and it's components with my Cameo.  I randomly adhered the M&M's in the jar, and then trimmed around this layer with scissors for the M&M's that hung over the edge of the jar layer.  Next I adhered the lid to the white part of the jar, and added a ribbon treatment.  I wasn't going to add a sentiment, but then decided I would.  I got out my trusty stamp a ma jig and stamped the sentiment.  I adhered this finished layer to the front of the card.  For the inside I stamped a sentiment.  That's all for now!

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

For my card I started with the gingerbread man.  I heat embossed him, die cut it, and added some peppermints for his buttons.  Then I went through a bunch of dies, to find a fancy circle to go behind the gingerbread man.  I found one in my Spellbinders dies, I'm not sure what the name of the set is.  It is an oldie but goodie.  I popped up my gingerbread man on this circle.  Then I went through my Christmas papers to find a coordinating piece, and found this fun peppermint paper.  I decided to have the patterned paper go down the middle of the card front, and I matted it with some white cardstock.  For the sentiment I stamped it in real red ink, and die cut it with the Stylish Shapes die.  At this point I started to adhere my elements to the red cardstock layer.  I popped up the gingerbread, and before I popped up the sentiment I added some ribbon behind it.  Once everything was adhered I adhered the red layer to the card front.  For the inside I again die cut the fancy circle, but this time in red.  I stamped the sentiment and die cut it out with a circle die cut.  I put a strip of the patterned paper behind this also to complete this card.

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

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.

Hello Stampers!   I'm here to share a card I made for the Clean and Simple Challenge: Watermelon, over at Splitcoaststampers.  I started this card with the layers.  I knew I wanted some gingham, but I wasn't sure if I wanted red or black gingham.  So after cutting out many pieces of gingham paper, I decided to go with the red gingham and adding black by matting the gingham.  After I got that figured out, I cut out a white square and matted it with black.  I stamped the watermelon, ants, and sentiment and then colored in the watermelon with copics.  I added some twine at the top of the focal image to finish this card front.  For the inside I kept it pretty simple, added some gingham paper matted in black, and then stamped my watermelon and ants again.  

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