WT1100 - Wise Words (use definitions or sentiments that are wise on your card or words related to graduation)

For my card, I pulled out an old dictionary a friend passed along when he was downsizing. The aged pages make a wonderful background and felt perfect for a note card. I layered a torn section on cream cardstock, then added a black mat for contrast.

Next, I stamped the Paint Brush Lineup image in black on cream cardstock and layered it on black to match the background panel. I stamped the Just a Note sentiment on cream, added it to the dictionary layer, and popped the paintbrush image up on dimensionals to finish the design with a bit of lift.

WT1093 - Music Playing Devices

For my card today, I wanted to create a design filled with music and energy, so I focused on bold color and texture. The panel was sponged with red, blue, green, and yellow Distress Oxide inks, then the Tim Holtz drum image was stamped on top.

Next, I added Nuvo Mousse through a stencil on a couple of corners to bring in extra dimension.

A light white splatter from a Heidi Swapp spritz added movement and contrast.

The card was finished with the Just A Note sentiment, white heat embossed on black cardstock, and the panel mounted on a white card base.

Just a Coffee Note

 

CAS866 - Coffee

I love coffee. It is my go-to drink. I started by pulling out a Penny Black die cut and layering the pieces to give the coffee cup dimension. It was placed on a soft pink circle for a gentle pop of color. A pink ribbon was tied around the chevron-embossed background to add texture and a sweet finishing touch.

The sentiment was stamped directly onto the coffee cup, keeping the design clean and focused. To complete the card, I scattered a few candy dots for a playful accent.

I needed to use up this image from my tote. For the card base and the image, I used a paper distress tool and distressed all the edges, I then added some tan distress oxide to the card base and the blue layer.

Under the image, I cut a doily in half and tucked it under the corners. I then used a brad in the upper left corner and several flowers from my stash finishing them with pearls.

The ribbon was tucked around the image and the blue layer.
