Let me know if you have created a card using these colors, or if it has inspired you to create a card with this stamp set! I'd love to see it!
I am using Burnt Sienna for the Rust color; Orangerie next, Landscape, Jardin Moss and Starry Night. These are all Palette Hybrid inks! I am also using white cardstock. Here is the card I came up with:
I created a background with the Build-A-Flower stamp set. The tags I made with my Sizzix machine and held them together with the orange flower brad. Isn't it cute? I stamped the sentiment in Starry Night. Want a peek inside?
I usually do not go all out for the inside of my card. Very often I won't even add a sentiment until I know who I am giving the card to. This is really fun because I just placed the flower and stem at the bottom of the card. I added Prisma Glitter to all the flowers and leaves on this card for a little extra shimmer! Hope you enjoyed today's Color Combo Motivational. Be sure you let me know if you use these same colors on your next project!
The stamps I used here are Circle Sampler and Build-A-Flower by The Angel Company. The border punch is from Martha Stewart. Since Christina and Donna were the only two to take my Color Combo Motivational offer...I am awarding them both a prize! Thank you ladies for playing.
These are the projects we made in class.
This Window Box Treat Holder was requested by June L. She wanted to learn how to make these. I was so busy that I didn't get a chance to make the marshmallow pops for everyone but I shared the links with them so they can make them and they were glad to have that information! Julie Griffith from Paper Jewels is the creator of this sweet project. You can find out more by visiting her website here.
I used the Hip Hop Designer paper for the front of the window box. The candy and sentiment box are both from the TAC stamp set Sweet Goodies. The scalloped squares are punches from TAC.
Donna was this month's hostess and she saw a flower pot card I had made some time ago. She wanted to make one, too, so this is what I came up with!
The "flower pot" is sponged in Cognac Palette Hybrid Ink, the flowers are created with the Cricut. I saw Laurie W.'s post here and loved how she left a point on each petal. I thought it was such a unique look. So I attempted to something similar here but in hopes of turning green flowers into green leaves! The sentiment is brand new from The Angel Company in our new Serendipity Street. It's called Dream Come True and it's only $5.95 for 4 sentiments! LOVE THAT!
I had never made an easel card before but I have seen them all over the place lately! I wanted to use the bumblebee from this really fun Hostess Level A stamp set called Swirled Spring Life from TAC. I went with a black and yellow color scheme to go with the bumblebee. The Thinking of You sentiment and octagon shapes are from my Cricut. The white and black squares are as well. Talk about easy work for making kits!! Press a button and watch it work for you with perfect lines everytime! I used my clear stardust glitter gel pen for a shimmery effect and the shape of the "stopper" on the card is reflective of a honeycomb! I really love this card. The "hello" also shimmers and it is from the Trendy Greetings stamp set.
Last, but certainly not least, is this sweet little chick card! Isn't this image adorable? It is also brand new from Serendipity Street. This stamp set is called Easter Chicks. You get 7 images including a sentiment for only $10.95!! I used my Tombow Brights and Stardust Glitter Gel Pens to color him in. I outlined him with my Gray Tombow marker. I just love the way it adds some dimension. The paper is Angelee. I think it goes so well with the colors of the egg. The white gel pen I used for faux stitiching and doodle dots ties it all together! I created this card from this sketch. You might remember I used it for this card, too. Hope you will let me, or your Angel if you have one, know if there is anything we can do for you! Happy crafting and don't forget to go HERE for my drawing! The winner will be announced Monday, March 8, 2010.
I am having a card class at my home today! There are six ladies coming and I am so excited! I can hardly wait! Here are the cards we will be making.
The card on the left is using the Good Timber stamp set and Burnt Umber Palette Hybrid Ink. The designer paper is Amberley Grace.
These are the other two cards we're making today! I used the Gerbera Daisy stamp for the focal image. I stamped it in L'Amore Red and Viridian Leaf Palette Hybrid Ink. The sentiment is from Build-A-Flower and I stamped it in the same ink colors.
Did any of you see the commercial on t.v. where the girl is going to school and she is nervous and her mom puts a card in her backpack and the little girl reads it when she is on the school bus and all the butterflies fly out the window? Well, Kadesia saw that and mentioned it to me a couple weeks ago so the night before her first day of second grade, I decided to make a card for her, too. She saw the teacher's gift on her bag and asked if I had made her teacher a card, too. I said no and that it was for her. She was so happy!
Here's the card I made using the Build-A-Flower Stamp Set which is available through TAC. I used L'Amore Red and Viridian Leaf Palette Hybrid Ink. I also used my Clear Glitter Gel Pen for some shimmer on the flower and then using my plastic canvas heart template and a push pin I pierced holes in the top left corner. I used my black marker to give each hole more depth.
She said she wanted to read it on the bus. Then she said she really wanted to read it before she got on the bus so I told her to go ahead! LOL
You think she liked it?
She told me she read it twice more on the bus! LOL She had a really good first day back and then off to gymnastics, so she was very tired! After a relaxing bath she was eager to go to sleep! Today is the start of another day.... LOL
