Belated Birthday

 

Happy Monday Peeps!!!

Today's card share is a card I made using the challenge this week at 

The Paper Players.

A beautiful color challenge:

I pulled out one of my fave sets, A Beautiful Friendship.

This set makes really pretty cards quickly. I do love it!

I stamped the floral images with Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape, my leaves with

Granny Apple Green and I did sneak it a bit of Crumb Cake 

but since it is a neutral I thought it would be alright.  

After stamping my floral images on my thick whisper white panel I embossed

with he Subtle EF.

I matted this with a piece of Bermuda Bay card stock and again with a piece of Whisper White.

 

The base of my card is Bermuda Bay and I added a piece of DSP from the 

6x6 Brights pack.

I layered the DSP onto a piece of Whisper White that I die cut the top edge using a stitched scallop edge die from the Be Mine dies

The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Birthday set, I stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink onto a 

piece of scrap white. I die cut using a die from the Stitched Shapes Dies and then added the circle to a  scallop circle from the Layering Circle dies.

I pulled a some twine from he Flax Ribbon and circled it around using a glue dot and added my sentiment piece over the twine circle with dimensionals.

 

I finished my card with a few Gorgeous Grape rhinestones from the Peacock Rhinestone pack.

Listed below are all the "ingredients" used to make this card.

This Day is Yours

 

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card a made a few weeks back.

You all know I love the Beautiful Friendship set and Seaside Spray is my favorite color

of the new In Colors.

I had just got this beautiful Seaside Spray Metallic ribbon and I needed to use it right away.

This is the card I came up with.

I stamped the flowers using Seaside Spray,

 Night of Navy and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves 

onto thick Whisper White card stock.

I die cut it using one of the Stitched Nested Label Dies 

and also a die cut using the Night of Navy card stock.

I layered it up and cut off the top point, just for something different.

 

 This card is loaded with layers, I like it that way...lol!!

I started with a base of Seaside Spray, then a layer of Whisper White and

followed that with a piece of gingham DSP from the In Color 6 x 6 pack.

Then I embossed a piece of Whisper White using the Brick &Mortar EF.

I matted that with a piece of Night of Navy card stock.

 

I tied the pretty Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon around the middle layers before

 adding it to the base card with dimensional. 

The sentiment here comes from the Rare Blessings stamp set.

I stamped it using Night of Navy ink before adding it to the card with more dimensionals.

 

I finished with a few rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone pack.

Today's card share is a Birthday card made with the Beautiful Friendship

stamp set.

I love this set, it makes the nicest cards and

 they look great in almost any color scheme you like.

I choose to go with the colors of Fall.

I used Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry along with Crumb Cake and Pear Pizzazz.

I stamped the flowers first onto Thick Whisper White card stock and then cut them out using a

die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies.

 

The base of my card is Crumb Cake and then a layer of Cajun Craze.

Next up is a piece of Whisper White stamped with the 

Buffalo Check stamp using Crumb Cake ink.

 I used three strands of white twine pulled from the Flax ribbon to

wrap my card and tie a bow.

I then added the floral image to the card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Parcels and Petals stamp set and is stamped with 

Cajun Craze ink and die cut with a stitched rectangle die.

Birthday Wishes

 

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today's card share features one of my fave sets of all time, Beautiful Friendship.

I wanted to make a fall colors inspired bouquet.

I used Merry Merlot, Cajun Craze, Mango Melody, Night of Navy 

and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves. 

I stamped the floral images onto thick Whisper White card stock.

I then used a Stitched Rectangle Die to cut it out.

My card does contain a couple of sneak peeks from the

Holiday catalog that goes live Sept. 4th.

I used the beautiful Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder.

This folder is part of the Monster Bash Suite, but certainly can be used

in other applications.

I think it is just gorgeous and have used it on another card you will see later this week. 

 

I also used some ribbon from the Come to Gather Ribbon Combo pack.

It has been awhile since I used ribbon in my cardmaking,

 this ribbon is so pretty, I couldn't resist.

Beautiful Friendship Thank You

 

 Happy Friday Peeps!!

Today I have a set of Thank You cards to share.

I used the Beautiful Friendship set, a favorite.

You really need this one.

I used Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray for these to cards.

 

I first die cut out my image pieces using the  Stitched Nested Labels Dies.

I inked up the large rose stamp in the set and 

stamped them along the edge of the die cut piece.

 

I added the leaves with Pear Pizzazz ink.

I got carried away with the layers on these, 

the base is Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray.

A layer of whisper white follows that.

Next another layer of Rococo Rose or Seaside Spray.

Then another layer of whisper white and finally a piece of DSP

from the In Colors 6 x6 pack.

 

The sentiment is from the Modern Heart stamp set.

I stamped it with Black Memento ink on Whisper White. 

I used another size of the Stitched Nested Label Dies for 

the sentiment and the sentiment mat piece.

 

I think these two in colors are my favorite of this years colors.

I added some white twine that I pulled from the Flax Ribbon and added it across

the layers before adding the flower die cut pieces.

I tied a bow on one and triple bow on the other.

 

The sentiment piece is added to the card with dimensionals.

I finished up the fronts of both using matching in color faceted dots.

 

Which color is your favorite?

oh, I wanted to show you the inside of these two cards:

 

 

I don't always stamp any thing inside, normally I just add

the white layer and some matching DSP but I got inspired with these 

cards to add some stamping inside too.

The large floral image is stamped with it.

 I then used Seaside Spray, Mango Melody and Calypso Coral along

with Pear Pizzazz for the leaves.

 I used Poppy Parade for the base and followed that with Whisper White.

I then used a piece of DSP from the Brights 6x6 pack.

I matted the floral image with another piece of Poppy Parade.

My sentiment comes from the Perennial Birthday set.

I stamped it with Black Memento ink onto whisper white.

I then used one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut it out,

running it through twice to make it the right size.

Beautiful Thank You

 

 Happy Thursday Peeps!

Here is my second card I made while stamping yesterday.

Actually it was the first panel I stamped, but I smudged some ink on it so I sit it aside.

After making my second card, I picked this one back up and decided to 

trim it down to get rid of the smudge and try to salvage it.

I stamped the sentiment on it with Black Memento ink. The sentiment

is from the Modern Heart stamp set.

After adding the sentiment I liked it and 

decided to add it to a card base.

 

My base is Gorgeous Grape card stock.

I used another sheet of Gorgeous Grape an embossed it both ways

 using the Subtle EF and glued it to the base.

 

I matted the image panel with Highland Heather card stock.

I added this piece to the base with dimensionals.

Listed below are all the "ingredients" used to make this card.
