Here Comes Christmas! Spellbinders The Three Magi Card…

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great joy! I’m rejoicing that I got a card made to blog! hoho

What a neat set from Spellbinders! I guess I didn’t stray from the CAS look that I like but there’s so much potential to do fun things with this set!  Turn it vertical and add a city border behind and and and…

This is a 5 x 7 size card on purpose because I wanted to give them plenty of room!

I started out thinking royal colors but I found these that had tones that worked together so I went with scraps for the most part!

I love that the sentiments are small! A beautiful cursive font!

All the extra details too… a little piece to go behind the head…three different beards….I colored the flesh with a Copic marker.

Versafine ink in the MISTI for the sentiments.

They’re festive! I used the thin mounting tape I love to pop them up just a hair! The stars are glued directly to the card front.

Simple once you decide your colors and get your pieces die cut!

Hope all is well with you.  This Summer has flown by or washed by for some… lots of rain…lots of green!  Can’t complain about lack of rain!

It feels good to be using the stash…I have a birthday card to share soon.  Hopefully my pictures are good because I already gifted it!

ttul!

Memory Box Cheery Flower Stems and Pinpoint Heart Wedding Card…

Hi everyone!  Our oldest granddaughter got married in May and this is the card I made for her.  I copied a card I made several years ago!

I die cut the Memory Box Pinpoint Heart die in an A2 size white cardstock panel.  I added a piece of pattern paper behind it.  It was just a random piece that a friend had given me!

I die cut the Memory Box Cheery Flower Stems in solid black cardstock and added a couple enamel dots to the centers.

The sentiment is from the Memory Box Peony Garden Wreath stamp set.

The die cut hearts are from a Paper Smooches die set.

It was a fabulous, beautiful wedding.  Lots of memories!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today!  It’s been a crazy and busy Summer so far.  The humidity in Iowa right now is frightful! ugh.

Take care and keep making cards!  I’m trying to get back in the groove! lol

Birch Press Design and Freshly Made Sketches…Two Cards…

Hello everyone!  Two cards to share with you that I made with the same dies!

Basic cards made with dies…no stamps!

Birch Press Design Rosebud Arch Contour Layers die set comes in the cool folder packaging with the color picture insert for how to put the designs together!  It’s so helpful and you don’t have to change anything for storage!  Magnet sheet included!

Birch Press Design Hello Vintage Sentiment die set…I cut from two colors and was able to make two sentiments and throwing away nothing!  YAY! (there are two sizes of this die, I used the smaller one)

I use scor-tape to assemble the hellos, no messy gluing!

I followed the card challenge blog Freshly Made Sketches for this card.   Linking to challenge #675.

Here’s two more pictures of the wreath…

The wreath card is 5 ½ inches square.

I added some gems from the pastel Fairy gems by Memory Box.

I used Memory Box cardstocks and plaid paper.

One more picture of the A2 size card…

Holler if you have any questions!

Simon Says Stamp Falling in Love Stencil Card…

I haven’t made much for kraft and red this year!  Shocking I know! lol  Here I have Lumberjack Plaid, Picked Raspberry and Kitsch Flamingo Oxide Inks blended on kraft cardstock.  I love how it turned out!

It’s a 6×6 stencil so I made a 6×6 piece, trimmed it down and adhered the extra strip to the back of my card!  I love how it looks!

The sentiments are from the Simon Says Stamp Love Greetings Mix stamp set…on sale right now! I’ll link you below.

I stamped the I LOVE YOU in black on kraft in the MISTI, then trimmed it out with a paper trimmer. Mounted it with the thin mounting tape I love.

I stamped You Captured in the MISTI also.  I did have to go over it with a black micron pen though because the black didn’t show up great over the oxide ink.  I should’ve let it dry longer I bet.

I added three black enamel dots.

The camera picks up the color more than it looks IRL.  It’s more muted/chalky looking in person.

I can’t believe Valentines Day is in four days.  I guess I won’t be mailing any this year. ugh

Do you mail Valentines?

CAS Baby Card for Freshly Made Sketches and Woodblock Wednesday Challenges…

Hi everyone! It’s been awhile since I made a baby card!  When I saw the sketch for Freshly Made Sketches I immediately thought of baby clothes on a line.  Then I saw the Woodblock Wednesday Challenge and thought of my drawers of woodblock baby stamps!

I stamped the woodblock onesie in Memento Black ink using my old stampamajig to space the onesies on a 3  15/16  x  5  3/16 in. card panel.  I hand drew the line with a black micron pen. Colored with Copic Sketch Markers. I made a mask, using the negative and stamped some wood peg stamps on the onesies.

I die cut the largest Memory Box Wrapped Scalloped Rectangles die in black cardstock to mount the panel to.

The onesie is from Savvy Stamps, 1026C Hanging Onesie.

The sentiments are from Lawn Fawn Little Bundle clear stamp set.  On the inside I heat embossed in white powder on black, Lots of Love (and more laundry). I stamped them in the MISTI with black ink, can’t remember which one! oops!

A2 size…clean, simple and CUTE!
