Spellbinders Bold Color Mix Numbers Cards…

Hi everyone!  Branching away from Christmas today! Birthdays keep coming and January is a busy month for our family when it comes to birthdays!  YAY! As long as it’s not mine! haha!

This is a 5 x 6 size card so I’ll be using an A7 envelope for it.  I tried some stitching for fun….just die cutting and a little stamping.

I used the betterpress dies to stamp the sentiment and th!  I liked the distress look I got doing that!  I taped the dies into the MISTI and inked them up. lol

I inked the edges of almost everything with Distress Gathered Twigs Ink and a mini ink blending tool.

The pattern paper is from the Doodlebug Design Sweetheart 6×6 paper pad.

Next card….

I hot foiled with the Better Press dies….I used the negative/leftover piece of foil from another project because I thought the polka dots would be fun.  But…whoa…what a challenge to get a picture!

It’s Silver foiling for the numbers and the sentiment.

I think I better order a Better Press kit for these solid dies.  I’ve been able to do it with the detail betterpress dies and my die cutting machine, following a video a gal put up on you tube but these solid ones I struggled with.

Still fun and a CAS card…much better IRL!

I absolutely love these numbers and the options for making fun celebratory cards!  I’ll link the sentiment set I wasn’t able to use yet below also…it’s cool too! So many good products and ideas out there to help us make awesome cards!

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my latest attempts at being creative! Talk to you again soon!  I have a couple cards to post that I mailed, I don’t want to post them until they receive them though.  I mailed them Tuesday.   ttul!

Simon Says Stamp Cheering For You Release!

Hi everyone!  New! New! New! It’s a challenge to keep up with all the new but so worth it!  I’m super excited to share my card with you because you know how we need man/boy cards so often!

So many guys love football!  Hey, I bet there’s some gals that do too!  Not me but I had fun making this card!

The name of this new stamp set is Football Season and there are coordinating dies too!

I stamped the football on the background panel randomly and then filled in the stitching lines with white gel pen just around the parts that would show.

I cut a smaller white panel, added the torn piece of grass green cardstock for the turf, then stamped the goal post and colored it with Copics.  Then I went in with a cloud stencil and brushed in some clouds.

Four perfect sentiments in the set too!   I used the birthday one, sssshhhh, I cut it apart but it fits back together fine. lol

Timeout!  on the front and It’s your Birthday on the inside.  I heat embossed on both with white embossing powder.

Super fun set that I know I’ll get lots of use out of with so many boys in the family!

My card is A2 size.

Birch Press Design Cosmos, Lush Leaves and Wiegela Leaf Tag…

Hi everyone! A BIG tag for today’s post! Super fun shower for our grandson’s new wife Saturday morning!

She loves to garden so a few of us had fun gifting her gifts for that!

For some reason my camera didn’t blurr out the background for me on this picture so I tried to edit it out.  Sorry it’s so bad!  This is a dump garden wagon…she loves it!  I picked up some plants too and one is an Iceland Poppy.  I had to purchase it for her because they honeymooned in Iceland!  So fun!

A close up before I hung it on the wagon…

A close up hanging on the wagon.

I used a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp to stamp all over the background of the tag… I’ll link it below.

The tag is an accucut die that you use on the big accucut baby grand machine.

The circle is a NEW die from poppystamps!  I’ll link it below.

Spellbinders Twirling Tulips Collection Cards…

Hi everyone!  Here’s some Spring for you! What a fun collection from Spellbinders designed by Simon Hurley! The Tulip Garden release!

I used the 3d embossing folder for all three of my cards. I used the coordinating stencil set on two of the cards, ink blending with Distress ink pads.

This one I colored with color pencils after using the embossing folder.  Very fun and easier than you would think!

Sentiments are all from the new Simon Hurley handwritten sentiment die set.

Here’s some more pictures…

The happy birthday and hello cards are one embossing folder piece.  5 ½ x 8 ½  cut in half at 4 ¼.

Well, then I trimmed them down so I could mat with a small margin of black showing and then cardbases to make A2 size cards.

 

 

The congrats card is the whole embossed piece trimmed down to make a 5 x 7 size card.


I used Hammermill smooth color cover white cardstock for the happy birthday and hello card and a textured cardstock for the color pencil piece.
