For Benita.

Happy birthday

Supplies used are :

Flourish Thinlet dies
Paper butterflies
Handmade Essentials (Sentiment)
Pearls,
Peacock feathers distress ink
Mowed lawn distress ink.
Close to my heart embossing folder.

This is a 5"x7" card.
After embossing the card front, I distressed it using Peacock feathers distress ink.
Then I ran my Flourish thinlet dies through my BigKick machine to cut them out to use them as my theme. I situated the flowers together and then used a little dot of glue to glue on the pearls.
Then I situated the leaf pattern and then added the butterflies.
For the sentiment, I layed a stencil on a piece of white cardstock, traced it out, then cut it out and distressed it with Mowed lawn distressed ink.
The sentiment is from Handmade Essentials clear stamps from scrapbooking.com. It is stamped on with black ink and is adhered on with double-sided circles.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

You're so sweet

This is my first time making a 5x7" card. I'm used to making the usual 4.25x5.5" cards. It doesn't look the way I was hoping it would, but I am posting my card on here anyway.

I used copic markers to color the pieces after stamping them and cutting them out. I adhered them to the card with double sided sticky circles.

Thanks for stopping by.

This is my first attempt at using the dryer sheet technique on a card. I saw a video on YouTube showing this technique and I decided that I just had to try it!!
I used the damask 2 embossing folder and then I used a wine red copic marker to color the embossed design.
Then I sprayed a little adhesive spray onto the card panel. Then I put the used dryer sheet over the card panel. Then I sprinkled some silver glitter on it and shook off the excess.
I used 2 shades of blue bakers twine, which is held on by a brad on the front and adhered to the back.
The ribbon and the sentiment are from hero arts ribbon messages stamp and cut.
I hope you've enjoyed your visit! Thanks for stopping by!

It's your birthday

I have an older sister who was born on New Year's day, so I made this card for her.
I used a damask embossing folder on white cardstock paper for my background image and then I sponged on some purple eggplant ink on the edges to give it a little bit of a border.
For my main image, I used a flourish die with Hunter green cardstock paper for the leaf design. The flowers are from the Stampin Up Fabulous Florets stamp set. First I sponged on some Spring Pansy chalk ink from versa magic to color them and then used a little Eggplant ink to highlight them. After adhering everything to a white blank card, I added the pearls to my flowers.
The sentiment is from a Ribbon Messages Stamp & Cut set. I used Hunter green ink for the stamp before using it's matching die cut. Then I used a little bit of eggplant chalk ink from versa magic around the edges to highlight it. I adhered it to my card using double sided dots. And this completes my card.
I hope you've enjoyed your visit and will visit again. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday

The image I used is a digi stamp I found on Pinterest. I thought it would look cute on a card, so I printed it and used it with pastel yellow and turquoise cardstock papers. The sentiment is a rubber stamp and is stamped on using black ink. Then I used Baker's twine to give my card an added image.

I am entering this card in this weeks http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com card sketch challenge.

I've had this Ballerina bear wood stamp for several months, but never really thought about using it until now. So, I used black ink to stamp it onto white paper, then I used Gingerbread chalk ink with chalk applicators to color it in. I also used Pixie Dust and Pink Grapefruit chalk inks to color in the tutu and shoes. Then I used my 1/2 inch corner punch on the corners.

The cardstocks that I used are white, gingerbread, and a very light tan. And to give my card an added touch, I used a pastel pink ribbon and bow at the top with a pink heart button. The sentiment is a sticker embellishment. I also ran my dots embossing folder through my Sissix Bigkick before I attached everything to the front of my card. And this completes my card. 

This card is also posted in this weeks http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com card sketch challenge. I enjoy playing along with the challenge, even though my cards aren't as gorgeous as the ones posted in the challenge. Any suggestions on how I can improve my cards or what I could have done different are greatly appreciated. I am always open to any and all suggestions. 

Thanks for checking out my blog.

For this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge, I chose to make a birthday card using the following supplies :

Cardstock : core'dinations Beachside paper pack (Cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored and folded at 4 1/4"), Turquoise Blue, Sweet Tweets & Decoupage Delights from Papercraft Inspirations Spring Flowers collection.

Other : 1 light blue brad, 3 Cool light blue pearl adhesive gems, 2 Neutral white craft beads, Lace Ribbon, Poinsettia Thinlit Die, Monarch Butterfly punch.

The main background paper is Sweet Tweets from the Spring Flowers collection from Papercraft Inspirations. It is attached to a Turquoise Blue and then a light pastel yellow.

The stem and the sentiment is from the Decoupage Delights.

I used my Monarch butterfly punch with turquoise paper for the butterflies. Then I used my poinsettia thinlit dies for the flower, which has a light blue brad in the middle. I added the pearl craft beads to make the butterflies stand out and then I added the lace ribbon and the blue pearl gems for an added look. 

I enjoyed making this card for this weeks http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com card challenge. I hope you will enjoy it, too. Thanks for visiting me.

Cardstock : White, Burgundy (Harvest Paperpack Collection), Vintage Lace (Papercraft Inspirations), and Sweet Summer Greetings Sentiments (Papercraft Inspirations).

Stamp Set : Fabulous Florets

For the Fabulous Florets, I used the above named Versa Magic Chalk Inks to color the flowers and stems. I just love the way that chalk inks make things look...

The patterned paper behind each flower and the sentiment is called Vintage Lace. I downloaded it and printed it up from the Papercraft Inspirations website.

Then I added the gems to two of the flowers and on both sides of the sentiment, along with using my paper piercing tool.

I used white cardstock paper on top of a burgundy cardstock paper, which is put onto a white blank card.

The stamp set that I am using for this card has the clear stamps that came with the matching framelits. So I used chocolate chip ink to stamp the stand and cake before using the matching framelit to cut them out. Then I used double-sided dimensional stickers to adhere them to the card.

I also used chocolate chip ink for the sentiment.

Then I added the Baker's Twine and button for an added look. I hope you will enjoy this card as much as I did making it. Thank you for visiting my blog.

I made this card for my 8 yr old niece who is turning 9 on the 17th of this month. Other than my own 2 adult children, Echo is Auntie's little angel....

I took a white doily and sponged on the brown and red inks. The balloons are a wood stamp. I used brown, red, and green inks to stamp them onto white paper and then I cut them out by hand and used toothpicks instead of Baker's Twine for the strings. The Hello Kitty cup cake is a digital image that I printed up and cut out. I used blendability markers to color the cup cake.

Supplies used are :

Cardstock : White, Chocolate brown, Simple Stories paper pack

Ink : Chocolate chip (sentiment), green, red, Close to Cocoa (brown balloon)

Other : toothpicks, chocolate brown ribbon, blendabilities markers, doily
