Thank You Ever So Much

 

Hello, happy Saturday! Today's card was created for the latest Inspired By card challenge. To create my card I started by stamping the fun watermelon image from the Impression Obsession Watermelon Layering stamp set onto some 110lb white cardstock using Altenew inks. I fussy cut the image out and popped it up onto a focal panel I created by die cutting it with a Gina Marie stitched rectangle die. I stamped the sentiment from the Altenew Apothecary Labels stamp set using Versafine onyx black ink and Versamark clear ink, black cardstock, and Ranger white detail embossing powder. I adhered the mini sentiment below the stamped one and mounted the watermelon above it using some Scrapbook Adhesives foam squares. I then framed the focal panel onto some basic black cardstock from Stampin' UP and then framed that onto some light green textured cardstock from Hobby Lobby. I mounted all of that onto my white A2 card base and finished it off using some black gems from Ki. I don't make them very often but I love when I can pull of a clean and simple card. If you like my card be sure to leave a comment. I read and appreciate them all!

Make Your Own Luck

Spring is right around the corner and St. Patrick's Day is just three days away. I typically don't sent St. Patty's Day cards but like the colors and the whole shamrock image, so I thought it would be fun to create a card that had all of the elements without actually referencing the holiday. This card will be entered in the Inspired By and CASology challenges. To create my card I started by die cutting the tshirt using some Paper Studio green patterned paper and the MFT Girly Graphic T-Shirt die. I stamped the shamrock and sentiment from the coordinating stamp set. I then layered some basic black cardstock from Stampin' UP onto my white A2 card base and then layered some more of the Paper Studio patterned paper and some specialty paper that I had in my stash onto the card using layers to delinate between the patterns. I die cut an oval from white cardstock from Staples and a pierced edge oval die from MFT.  I stamped the shamrock again using Tim Holtz distress ink in peeled paint all over the background of that panel and adhered that to a slightly larger oval that I die cut using more black cardstock and a Spellbinders oval die. I added a few pastel green 6mm sequins from Pretty Pink Posh to add a bit more bling and that finished my card. Thank you for stopping off at my blog today!

 

Happy Birthday

Hello and happy Friday! I hope everyone is staying safe out there. My card today was created for the latest Inspired By card challenge.

To create my card I started by layering some patterned paper from the Pebbles Garden Party 6x6 paper pad onto my white A2 card base. I then stamped the adorable pups and heart from the Paper Smooches Paws For A Cause stamp set onto my white cardstock using Memento inks. I then stamped the sentiment from the Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler stamp set using more Memento ink. I added more patterned paper from the same Pebbles paper pad at the top of the panel. For some added interest and to break up the cardstock and patterned paper I wrapped some dark brown twine from We R Memory Keepers around it and tied a bow. I added some 3M foam tape behind the panel and popped it up off of the card for some fun dimension. I appreciate you taking the time to stop off at my blog today and, if you like my card, be sure to leave a comment. I read and appreciate them all!
