Hi everyone!!! I’m so excited to get on here and start sharing the cards I’m working on with the NEW Memory Box and poppystamps release! YES! My favorite time of year!
I had to use this gorgeous NEW Ruffled Poinsettia first! I LOVE it! So, so pretty!
I think it’s pretty straight forward but if you have any questions holler! Nothing new as far as techniques go.
The sentiment is from the NEW clear stamp set called Mistletoe Swag. I love the images and the name! lol
I die cut the largest shape from the NEW Stylish Frame Trio die set two times and off set them. They are only glued under the poinsettia. I’m in love with this set too! 😀
Then I die cut two of the NEW Silverdale Branch and trimmed them down to tuck under the petals. Yes, I love this die too!
My next card…
This beautiful NEW Festive Noel die from poppystamps is the only die I used on this card!
I die cut it in Gold mirror/foil cardstock and in red glitter cardstock.
The pattern paper is from a few years ago but I’m going to link up some new patterns that I think would work beautifully also!
I used foam tape that I cut down to fit on the back of this… very easy to do because the letters are wide! YAY!
I got carried away with pictures.. hehe
Noel is an A2 size card and the Ruffled Poinsettia is somewhere between in A6 and A7. It fill fit in an A7 envelope for sure.
Bring out the Christmas CD’s and start your cardmaking!
Thank you for stopping by! I’ve been sad to not post yet this week but we had a family deal we had to take care of…not pleasant but now I can make cards again. So thankful for cardmaking and cardmaker friends! I’ll be back soon!
Hi everyone! Switching gears from cute to floral! I love this new clear stamp set from poppystamps! So pretty gold embossed and watercolored with Karin Markers, water and a paintbrush.
I stamped the poppystamps Picnic Plaid clear stamp using the Tim Holtz Travel Stamp Platform on Hobby Lobby Masters Touch watercolor card. I love using this stamp platform for big stamps because I can leave the stamp on the lid then take just the lid/stamp to the sink to wash it after stamping! So easy to clean up that way.
I stamped the plaid with Taylored Expressions Premium Dye Ink, first in Pink Champagne and then to get it a little pinker, I inked and stamped it again with Cupcake. I was trying to match the Karin markers I used for watercoloring.
I heat embossed the image and sentiment with gold embossing powder. Then started coloring!
My Karin Markers (from Poland) were a gift from an amazing, dear, friend back in March. (the dreaded birthday was awesome this year) It looks like Simon Says Stamp is bringing them in but nothing in stock yet. To see my other card I colored with them, select my Karin Markers category over on the right. You can use any watercolors to color stamp images though and I plan to do some more with this beautiful image!
Karin Markers are Brush Pens and beautiful for Modern Brush Calligraphy! I’ve been practicing on that when I sit down at night… pretty fun! I’ve always enjoyed lettering but have only pursued it a couple times and never kept up with it. Here’s hoping I do better this time. It’s fun to do with the grandkids also.
ok – well, I’ll wrap this up and say, thanks for coming over! Hope you feel like coloring now! I need to keep coloring/practicing! Don’t look at my coloring to close! lol
ttul,

Hi everyone! I have a cute card for you today! This alien has landed at the farm and demands cake! This card was for our grandson Cedryk’s 7th birthday. He loved it!
Pull the tab at the top up and the cake rises into the space ship! I have a little video showing how it goes. If you pull the tab out, it’s no problem, just stick it back in and the cake will stick to it again. The cake piece comes off the card. Really cute and so fun!
I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. I inked the grass in the front with Distress oxide inks.
The characters are from the Lawn Fawn Beam Me Up stamps and die set. The farm background is from a clear set by Miss Ink Stamps. I’ll link them up below…
A weird angle to see that I glued the piece of die cut vellum to the bottom of the spaceship.
A little closer to see the cake behind the vellum…
Have you ever seen cuter aliens? haha They seem to like birthday parties! lol And they bring presents! Gotta love that! haha
The inspiration for the slider is from a video I saw on Simon Says Stamp blog HERE.
I stamped the sentiments on black cardstock with Versamark ink and embossed them with Lawn Fawn White embossing powder. I used the MISTI Cut Align Ruler to cut the strips. So far I like it a lot!
Hi everyone! I should be doing housework but here I am writing a post because I’m behind getting birthday cards posted and it’s time for new things! ok – I wonder when there aren’t new things in this papercrafting industry!
Here’s a card for one of our grands that just turned 13!
I was inspired by Nancy’s card here. I don’t have the pattern paper but otherwise, I just plain copied her… such an awesome design!
I used oxide inks on Bristol Smooth card, some water splatters, die cutting and gluing… very straight forward!
I ended up with several photos so I’ll just post away…
So happy with the color combo… I think you could use any Summer colors though for this!
