Have a Special Birthday

Accessories:  Stamps:  Hero Arts  Paper: navy cardstock, Gina K white cardstock, and Simple Stories bloom and grow 6x6 paper pad  Ink: Gina K jet black amalgam ink  Accessories:  Spellbinders scalloped rectangle, twine, dimensionals

I made this this card using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  Here is the current sketch: 

I started by choosing some patterned paper.  I cut a panel and matted it with a dark navy cardstock.  Then I wrapped twine around this panel and added a bow.  Next I stamped my sentiment and matted it with a scalloped rectangle, and I popped it up onto my card using dimensionals.  That completes my card.  It was a quick and easy one.

You Make Life Sweet

Supplies:  Stamps: Amuse  Paper: Gina K Chocolate Kiss and Amuse  Ink: Gina K jet black amalgam Accessories:  Stampin up circle framelits, copic markers, silver pen

The Clean and Simple challenge this week is chocolate!  I broke out the Amuse stamps for this challenge.  I stamped and colored the chocolate image, die cut it, and then matted it onto a scalloped circle.  Then I made the gingham panel, and adhered it to the card panel.  After this I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the sentiment.  Lastly I adhered the focal image onto the card panel, and adhered the card panel to the card base.  This was a fun challenge!

Butterfly Wishes

Supplies:  Stamps: Simon Says Stamp tiny words  Paper:  Gina K heavy base weight white and kraft and Pebbles Spring Fling 6x6 paper pad  Ink: VersaMark  Accessories:  Simon Says Stamp sentiment labels, Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Square, gem, detail white embossing powder

I made this card using the current sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  

I thought of this butterfly die cut right away when I saw the sketch.   I die cut it in white three times and adhered them together to create some dimension.  Then I die cut the patterned paper and inlaid this piece into the butterfly die cut.  Lastly, I used a rectangle sentiment instead of a circle on my card.  

That's all for now,

Thanks for stopping by!

You're Stinkin Cute

Supplies: Stamps: Lawn Fawn Stinkin Cute Ink: Versamark and Gina K black onyx amalgam ink  Paper: Gina K heavy base weight white  Accessories:  mini dimensional, white detail embossing powder,  copic markers, Lawn Fawn stitched only hearts

The Freshly Made Sketches sketch caught my eye this week:

When I saw the sketch my stitched only heart dies came to mind.  I die cut this, and then added my skunk and heart to the focal point.  For the sentiment I heat embossed it, cut it apart, and added it to my card.  

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

Have a holly jolly Christmas

Supplies:  Stamps: Amuse  Paper: GKD heavy base weight white  Ink: GKD jet black amalgam, Distress Ink: faded jeans Accessories:  MFT stitched arch dies, picket fence life changing brushes, mask paper, copic markers

It is Featured Stamper Sunday!  This week the featured stamper is Angela.  This is the card that I found inspiration from: 

To make my card I dry embossed the stitched arch die onto my card base.  Then I stamped my image and sentiment using the stamp-a-ma-jig.  Next I stamped my car image onto masking paper and cut it out, and adhered it to the card.  Then it was time to add the distress ink.  I didn't want the blue to go over the stitched part of the die cut image, so first I set down the die cut on the card base and then added some masking paper around the die cut.  This was the first time I used the life changing picket fence brushes.  They are nice, they make blending very easy.  I didn't get any hard edges like I would with the Tim Holtz blender sponges.  Next I sprayed my blending with some water like Angela did on her card.  I like how it looks like it is snowing.  Lastly, I took off all of the masking paper and colored my image in with copic markers.  And that completed my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Embossed Valentine

Supplies:  Stamps: Unity/Gina K You had me at Hello  Paper:  Papercut:  wild cherry and snocone  GKD: layering weight white  Ink: GKD jet black amalgam ink  Accessories: baker's twine and Design Objectives embossing folder

I made this card for the Featured Stamper challenge on SCS.  The featured stamper this week is Maria.  The following card gave me inspiration for my card.

For my card I used a different heart embossing folder and sentiment.  I used the same baker's twine treatment at the top of my card, and the same color scheme.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!
