Cards made September of 2014

Time Spent with Friends

It has been a long time since I have posted anything.  I will update these instructions when I have more time. 

I did use Baja Breeze, Pale Plum, and Lily of the Valley DP. I entered this in a contest of Taylored Expressions but I am not sure I did it right. The ink I used was Marina Mist. Momento Black, and Baja Breeze. The stamps used were from Sweet n Sassy- Flourish, HCPC- Botanical Floral 2. I used Nestabilities Fancy Framed tags two ( I used just one end of it to adorn the bottom of my square area.) I didn't have the SU stamp so I typed it up on my computer and used it that way. The flower was from a die from HC and the center was a circle punch. I colored the edges with Baja breeze. The ribbon was in Pale Plum.

As you can see I used the same DP on the inside.  The sentiment was one I typed on the computer.

This card was for a friend who has been sick. The cute mouse is from Whipper Snapper. The sentiment is from Sweet n Sassy. I sponged SU Soft Sky around the edges of the mouse while still in the Nestabilities  deckled oval dye. I also used the Lacy oval die. The Light purple CS was one from Micheals and the DP is one from Gina K called Garden Tour. I wanted a pretty edge so I cut them out with the A2 Scalloped Borders One dies. The CS used was a lavender from Michaels and White.

 This one was from an idea I saw on Pinterest.  I think hers was much prettier than mine, but I didn't have the same DP or the same butterfly. I also used a different word background stamp. I shaped the Basic Grey Flutter Butterfly stamp and actually stamped it twice and then molded the top one one with the flower tools by Punch Bunch. It doesn't show in the picture but the butterfly is much lighter and is shiny because i used pearly white CS from Marco. The DPs are from recollections (green), and Rose from Hobby Lobby. The BG stamp is one from Angel Company called The beauty of a woman. The CS is SU Pretty in Pink and White.  I cut the focal point out with Nestie circles sm. and scalloped circles sm. The sentiment is from verve with 5 small pink pearls below. and a larger one in the right top corner. The ribbon is a Light pink gingham but I can't recall where I bought it.

This one is fairly simple. I used a digital  Pansey stamp from Audrey.  That is all I remember of this pretty flower. I wish I could remember where I saw this. I should write it down when I find these. It is a layering image.  The EF is a Hobby Solutions called Rectangle Frame. I used a corner rounder to soften the edges. I used foam dots to layer the flowers to give it texture. The sentiment is by Momenta '13. I used Winks of Stella-yellow and clear on the flower edges.

I particularly liked this one because I love the Victorian look. The CS is SU- Naturals Ivory. the DP is by Life stories-Pink Damask and Marabelle.  The stamps were from Gina K =Summer Blooms and vertical greetings in SU Close to Cocoa and Distress Antique Linen. I did a little sponging around the edges of the green DP  too but lightly. I used a 1/4" green organdy ribbon and the tied the button on with some twine at the top the pretty ivory lace. I think I bought the lace from Flourishes. I used two different colors on the small butterflies from SU markers in Close to Cocoa and Old Olive.

 I was disappointed with this one because I wish I had done some type of embossing on the Mellow Moss CS before adhering my letters (from Provo Craft) and flowers from  a SU flower punch. The other colors of CS were white, Marina Mist, and Cameo Coral and Pale Plum. The inside balloon was a flocked sticker. I tried using the Xyron machine for the letters and also the Aqua glue.

I liked this one because of the whimsical background stamp and flower from Hero Arts. I used the swirl EF on the Celery green DP from SU. The other CS is Bordering Blue, white. and Baja breeze DP. I rounded the corners with my SU corner rounder, The sentiment is from Verve-Birthday Surprise. Added a greenish blue rhinestone under the sentiment.

The CS used on this card was White (sponged around the edge in light green), Wild wasabi, cameo Coral,  Baked Brown Sugar and a Light Parchment.  I stamped over the parchment paper with the SU Parlor Prints in Crumb cake. The stem stamp was Fiskars Petals from scratch. The flower was a sticker by Martha Stewart.  I used a die from Nestabilities from the A2 basic A  and B sets and the A2 fancy weave.  The inside flower stamp is from a SU sunflower set. My front sentiment is by GinaK. Attached a white satin ribbon from Ellen Hutson and a light green pearl.

 
This one is a photo card. I liked the way it looked liked Fall. My daughter took this great picture. I used for the first time the Spellbinders Celebrations Framed canvas. It is quite different. I also used the small scalloped border punch. Then added a narrow ivory lace. The sentiment is from Judith. I added the 3 sizes of Sprinkles in green.

This one is from Outlines. Love this stamp! I used a lot of Copic markers and even some watercolor markers from SU. The CS is from SU in Pumpkin Pie and baked brown Sugar. The tan is from a misc, and the white is from Wal-Mart. The DP is from Heartfelt Creations- Sunny day. I used the Dotted swirls by Hero arts over the DP.  Along the edges of the white  I used the small scalloped border punch by EK success in the Baked brown Sugar. The small leaf was a small leaf punch colored over the DP with a Copic marker in orange.  I added a few dots around the pumpkin stamp and a yellow Sprinkle in the lower left corner. The inside pumpkin was a sticker.

Have a wonderful day!
