Fun in the Sun

 

CAS753 - Summer vacation

For my card I used my technique for mirror image stamping to stamp the first Adirondack chair. Once it was stamped I then put the stamped image in my Misti and stamped the second chair and the sentiment.

I then colored the scene with copics, cut the panel down and popped it up on dimensionals.

Today's Featured Stamper Jennifer aka gwany1999 has a gallery full of amazing inspiration. Here is my INSPIRATION.

I loved the base black and grey.

I have a couple of rolls of great textured wallpaper and it is great for cards. I cut a strip of it for the front of my card then added the thank you sentiment popped up on dimensionals.

The card was finished with some gems.

Thank You

CAS751 - Christmas in July

For my card I decided to pull out some gems. I have a ton of gems in so many sizes and need to start using them up.

I pulled out various clear, pinks and purples. I put a circle die cut down then glued a layer around the circle. I then picked up the die cut and filled in other gems and pearls around the layer.

Once the gems were glued I added a pink bow and added the DRS Designs sentiment in pink. I layered the wreath panel on a bright pink layer.

I really love how this turned out and may make a few more in other colors to use up more of these gems.

FS858 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Vikki, better known around here as vikkijo. Her gallery is incredible and full of inspiration. I found this INSPIRATION.

I loved the banners on her card and used that as my starting point. I am slowly going through my scrap drawer looking for ways to use up a bunch of paper scraps and the banners was perfect to get started.

I created 3 large banners then layered them on a coordinating DP. I then added the rick rack and the sentiment and finished with the celebrate sentiment popped up on dimensionals and scattered a few sequins.

My mom asked me for a few neutral celebrate cards to add to her stash so this is headed to her to fill in for some cards she needs added back to her stash.

My niece and nephew ask me to make them anniversary cards every year and Diane's table decorations reminded me I needed to get on the ball and get the cards made. They are celebrating their 8th anniversary this year and this is a spin on 8 with 88 keys on a keyboard.

I added 8 red flowers and 1 doubled up purple flower for the baby that they lost this year.

I used the easel tutorial to create the easel then added the keys and the purple flower to the inside of the card.

The music paper is a gold foil and really shines and I finished the card with several music stickers that are glittery and have gems.
