Hello Friend

 

MMTPT797 - Clocks

For my card, I found this clock designer paper in my stash. I used that for the card base then added a die cut white layer.

Once glued, I used a bunch of scraps to cut out the wheel barrel and flowers, I added a few dimensionals. and finished the flowers with gems.

The card was finished with a butterfly from my stash and the hello sentiment.

Birthday Cards

 

FF23TexasGrammy - Use pigment powders (Brushos, Color Burst, Infusions, etc.) to create your background or use a part of your burst of color piece as a gorgeous element on your card's front!

For this card, I used 2 different green brushos and yellow brushos to fill a water color panel. I then die cut the leaf and added some dimensionals to the leaves.

The black panel has some doodled stitch lines and the card was finished with the birthday sentiment and a few green Nuvo drops.

Green Leaf Birthday

For my second card:

FF23gutsport56 - Die Cutting with Napkins

I used the same layout as the first card and created the die cut layered napkin for my leaf. I used a different leaf and once cut I added some blue shimmer paint.

The second was also finished with the sentient on dimensionals and some blue Nuvo Drops along with the same birthday sentiment and doodled stitch lines.

I love that we can change a die cut, change a technique and get a different card.

FF23hbrown - Poinsettia Christmas

For today's card, I used the Ton Large Poinsettia to create my blue poinsettia. I also sponged in 3 different greens the pine branches.

The card was then finished with the sentiment in blue and a few sequined blue candy dots.

Fall Birthday

 

CAS766 - Pumpkins

For my card I used this great image from DRS Designs and took out the sentiment that was on the sign exchanging it for a birthday sentiment.

Once the image and sentiment were stamped, I colored the scene with copics and finished the card with a few scattered sequins.

Congratulations Grad

 

FS873 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Anita aka Ausmex, I found this wonderful INSPIRATION.

I am working on graduations cards as a few will be graduating this next year from high school and college. Anita's card was perfect to inspire me on my card.

For my card, I used up some graduation scrap papers from a grad paper pack bought in 2021. I created the layout and added some red to accent the papers as the school colors for college are Red, Black and White.

The grad cap is a sticker and I finished the card with some red pearls and the congratulations sentiment from Trinity Stamps.

Be Mine

 

IC934 - At Home - INSPIRATION

I was inspired by the pillows and used that for my inspiration. I die cut the pieces to the Tim Holtz chocolate box and layered using cream, tan and dark brown to represent white chocolate, chocolate and dark chocolate.

I also die cut some light pink and added some red to add a bit more color to the chocolate pieces along with some stickles.

Under the top candy box I added a layer of doily and under the base heart I added some pink feathers.

The card was finished with a Be Mine tag and pink ribbon.

Choose Joy

 

FF23ShoeGirl - Large Print Designer Paper (Bring out those designer papers with very large images or designs and show us how you use them)

For my card, I found this really large, printed wreath in my paper pack. It is meant for a 5.5 x 5.5 card. I usually don't make cards that large as postage is a bit more for them. I used a piece of acetate that is measured 4.25 x 5.5 to find where to cut down the image so it would work on a smaller card front. I then glued it to the card front and added a dimensional flower and some punched leaves from my stash to add some interest to the wreath.

Now some might think well you will need to add extra postage for the flower. Yes, if I were mailing this, I would still need extra postage but this one will be hand delivered. :)
