Spreading Joy Through Handmade Cards
Today’s card features Garden in Bloom which is another favorite stamp set of mine. I needed an encouragement card and I thought this was the perfect sentiment . . . “Hope you’re feeling special because that’s just what you are”. I stamped off some of the flowers, embossed the flowers on the vellum paper with Gold Embossing Powder and tied 3 Burlap strands from the …
Today’s card features the Pedal Pusher stamp from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. Isn’t this a great sentiment for someone who needs encouragement? I colored the flowers with Stampin’ Write markers using Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie. I stamped and cut two baskets and popped one with a Stampin’ Dimensional to give it some depth. The background is Gorgeous Grunge (of course!) Wouldn’t this …
Today’s 4″ x 4″ card was made with the Playful Pals Stamp set and the Pyramid Pals Thinlits. I have a confession to make that will probably shock you– I am not a dog lover (or any other animal for that matter). It’s not that I don’t like them, I just don’t have the time to take care of them and be tied down and I …
I love the Grateful Bunch stamp set, but one of the images I love the most is the border lace. I think it’s so dainty. This set is available as a bundle with the Blossom Punch. The punch reminds me of Boho Blossoms that we used to have a couple of years ago. This is a 3 x 3 card – it’s not mailable, but …
Have you tried the Sunburst Thinlits Die yet? It gives your projects a quick wow punch. When you run the die through the big shot, you will have a longer piece than you need for your card so you will have to trim it. I like it because you have the flexibility to change this die cut to any size or shape you want. It …
Isn’t this card sweet? I love the colors and the new honeycomb embellishment on the ice cream cone. The stamp used for the background was the Timeless Texture (one of my Occasions catalog favs). The ice cream cone and sentiment is from the Honeycomb Happiness stamp – a Sale-A-Bration FREE item. Want these stamps? Now’s a great time to stock up on your favorites and …
Today is World Card Making Day where crafters around the world create handmade cards. What are you doing today to celebrate this fun day? Here’s a card I would like to share with you using the Choose Happiness stamp set – one of my favorite stamp sets in the new catalog! The first thing that caught my attention was the sweet sentiment and the wood banner …
Here’s a card we made recently at my Friendship Card Class. I combined the Kinda Eclectic, Choose Happiness and Hardwood stamp sets to create this card – 3 favorite sets of mine. This card has a Blushing Bride card stock for the base and then the Whisper White card stock is folded in half – a little different than the usual card base fold. I …
The Peaceful Petals Stamp Set is a great set in the Occasions catalog that is going away on June 1st. I used this set last night at my technique club meeting to make this beautiful detached bookmark card using the Stampin’ Trimmer with the Rotary Addition and the Perforating Cutting Blade. I also used the Scallop Tag Topper Punch on the bookmark (another great tool!). Not …
