Spreading Joy Through Handmade Cards
Yes, another Painted Poppies card. I told you I’ve used this set quite a bit. Unlike yesterday’s card, which I colored the poppies with my Stampin’ Blends, on this card I stamped the grunge image over the poppies to give it color. We made this card back in March at one of my classes. It’s actually a one layer card. It looks like 2 layers, …
Hi Crafty Friends . . . Did you know that Lovely as a Tree has been around since 2001? It is the oldest stamp set in our current catalog. Every year when a new catalog comes around we wonder if it’s retiring, yet it has been so popular that it made it through 18 years. Now that’s a long time! But, the time has come …
Happy World Card Making Day! Hope you’re finding time to stamp today. Today’s card features the Time of Year Host stamp. You can make quick and easy cards because the Thinking of You sentiment is the main focus. After stamping Thinking of You, stamp the occasion and die cut with the Bunch of Banners Framelits popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For my 1st card, I used …
Today’s card features a sneak preview of the Love You Lots hostess set from the new catalog. It has some adorable images and sentiments. I sponged all five of the 2016-2018 In Colors and made this into a faux layer card. Nice colors, right? And aren’t these hedgehogs cute? More sneak previews to come. Thanks for stopping by. . . hope you have a great …
World of Dreams is the featured stamp in today’s card and is one that’s on the retiring list. Just as yesterday’s card, I made these 2 cards last year but hadn’t posted them. For the card above, I used the Window Framelits which retired last year and used the masking technique. I also used the Decorative Hearts stencil (on the current retiring list). This stamp …
Don’t you just love this big Happy Birthday greeting? It’s from the Happy Birthday Everyone hostess set. And how about the lighthouse . . . it’s from the set From Land to Sea. Two great sets combined with 2 other great sets–By the Tide (sea shell) and Gorgeous Grunge (my favorite!). Creating a faux layer card is easy and would wow the recipient of the …
Here’s swap #3. I used the faux layer technique (one of my favorites!) on this card using the Open Sleigh stamp set. This is a great stamp to make easy cards if you don’t have a lot of time but want to make your own Christmas cards. What do you think? Leave me a comment. Stamping Supplies: Stamp: Open Sleigh #126460 (wood) #126462 (clear) Ink: Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler, Early …
As soon as I saw the Summer Afternoon stamp set from the 2012-2013 Stampin Up! catalog, I knew I had to get it. The swing immediately reminded me of the one I used to sit on everyday during my vacations in Cape Cod — it was surrounded by flowers and overlooked the ocean. In this card, I used some of the new 2012-13 In Colors – Midnight Muse, Gumball Green, Summer Starfruit …
