Let It Snow Purple and blue

There are two things I like about these cards:

The patterned paper is by Provo Craft and it is OLD. It's great to use up these old products. Also, the same patterned paper can produce two different looks.

I used a snowflake brad, yeah! I'm still keeping to my goal in December. That's rare. But I still have so many of them that I need to keep remembering to use my brads and eyelets into the new year.

The first card uses a die-cut from the Winter Wonderland Cricut cartridge size 2" for future reference.

I bought the rounded rectangle die-cut off of eBay

The next card, using the same pattern paper is using a sticker that I’ve been wanting to use. It also uses fuzzy jute by stamping up.

The white panel in the center has been dry and passed. It’s not one of my embossing folders. The image is from the back of a store-bought greeting card. I never saw or noticed it before that a lot of cards have the image on the front in a smaller portion in the back.

I did die cut and punch out some of them but ran out of time for using them all. Crazy how this card gives a totally different look than the card above.

Anna is turning 1

I had the basics for this card from a card I sent to Paul's grandma. She kept every card I sent her. All I did different is add Anna's name and the 1 is a Cricut cut and the st were stickers by Sticko. Border punch by Martha Stewart. I wonder if this card is on my blog? When I have free time I'll take a look.

Homecoming Season

With Homecoming season here, I thought I would share a scrapbook page that I did for my nephew's book. Sorry if the picture doesn't look very clear. Either a bad picture or it could be me not wearing my glasses 👓. Anyway, The arrow die cut on the right was cut using my Cricut, the freshman letter stamps are Lawn Fawn, date stamps by Stampin' Up! and the freshman sticker and star stickers are by Sticko.

 Thanks for looking. 

St. Patrick's Day cards

I have a few different St Patrick's Day ATC's using mostly products that I don't know the manufacturer. So I'm going to leave it at that and let you look without all my jabber.

Thanks for looking.

Chilly Days Card

This card kind of makes me giggle because the background in this photo is beautiful and sunny unlike the card's title. 

The background is blue cardstock by Recollections and has been dry embossed with a Provo Craft folder. I inked the raised areas of the embossing with distress ink but I wasn't very happy with that look so I didn't continue throughout the background. The green cardstock is by Stampin Up and the blue on top of the green is by Bazzill. 

The snowman stamp by Paper Smooches was stamped with black Versa Color ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored him in with powdered chalk mixed with paint. I die cut the image out with a Spellbinders die and inked the inside of the die cut with distress ink and an ink blending tool. I matted a lighter green scallop die cut behind the image before adhering it to the card base and finished by adding the sentiment sticker (Sticko/EK Success) as shown. 

Thanks for looking.

Congratulations Card

Today I have an unconventional graduation card to share. I used a stencil (a dirty one hence the green hue in the embossing paste) by The Crafter's Workshop and applied white embossing paste (Dreamweaver Stencils) to the stencil onto grey cardstock (Recollections). In the meantime, I stamped the fish with green ink (Tsukineko) and the circle stamp (Fiskars) around it with blue ink (CTMH). I inked the edges with distress ink (Ranger) and matted behind it blue patterned paper (Die Cuts with a View) and green cardstock (Coredinations). After the paste dried I assembled the pieces to the card front with green grid line paper (Studio G) closest to the card base. I finished up by adding the sentiment, (Sticko), the grad cap (Jolee's) and the diploma (Frances Meyer) stickers to the front.

Thanks for looking.

Tree Sympathy Card

For today's card I started off with white cardstock (Recollections) and a stencil (The Crafter's Workshop) that I sprayed with Glimmer Mist (Tattered Angels) to create the background.  Once the paper was dry, I cut it down to 3 3/4 x 5 1/4 to mat it onto a piece of green with brown patterned paper (Sunborn). 

On another piece of white cardstock I stamped the tree (Studio G) that had been inked with green and brown cat eye inks (Tsukineko). The tree stamp is a rubber stamp and I wanted to stamp it first because the box around it is a clear stamp (Fiskars), which would make it easier to line up and get the tree in the center of the square. I trimmed the image down to a square and matted it with some brown cardstock (Coredinations). I adhered the image to the background with foam adhesive (3M).

For the sentiment, I stamped the word "Our" (Lawn Fawn) with brown ink (Stampin Up) onto a label die cut (Spellbinders) that has an opening on both ends to feed brown ribbon (Stampin Up) through which I wrapped around the back of the front panel. The "Sincere Sympathy" sentiment is a sticker (Sticko/EK Success) that I had to cut out the word "my" from the beginning. As I finished assembling the everything I couldn't help but notice the white sentiment die cut was lost in the sprayed background. To fix this problem, I placed a kraft cardstock (Oriental Trading Co.) rectangle die (unknown) behind the label die cut.

Deep Red Stamps Make a Wish

I stamped the Deep Red Stamps City Girls Springtime stamp with Memento ink and colored her in with Copic Markers. I added some Glossy Accents to her glasses. I used cardstock from Recollections (red and white card base), Sunborn (larger blue piece), Coredinations (blue pennant), and Bazzill (silver). I used stickers from Westrim Crafts (skateboard) and Sticko (sentiment).

I hope you like it.

Thanks for looking.

Deep Red Stamps Cross

Today my card uses a Deep Red Stamp Cross. You can find it at:

Scrapbook.com

and

Deep Red Stamps

I stamped the cross onto Strathmore watercolor paper with black Hero Arts ink, I colored the cross in with distress markers., I taped a yellow patterned paper by Studio G behind the image. The pink patterned paper is by MME. The hearts are puffy by Sticko/EK Success. I'm not sure who the vellum sentiment or the polka dot ribbon.

Swimming Layout

A new layout today uses a kit by Queen and Co but I added a few things to it. The two tags, one with a bikini and the other with swim trunks, were cut with my Cricut and the Life's a Beach cartridge. I set a splash eyelets to each of them. I also added labels of who each kid is by using an alphabet  stamp set by Lawn Fawn. I also added some circle stickers by Sticko/EK Success.

The other side of the layout was basically done with added touches such as the Cricut cut date. I think it is the cartridge Cricut Basic Font and shapes. The circle is stamped with a Close to my Heart stamp with Colorbox pigment ink. Then the center of the circle is a splash eyelet same as the left side. I also added the same Sticko/EK Success circle stickers to the bottom because there was originally these large, bulky rhinestone butterflies that I had to replace with flat stickers. Everything else is by Queen and Co.

Thanks for looking.

Sassy Candy Cane Christmas Card

Here today with my Sassy Studio Designs (closed) anything goes card for the sponsorship at A Beautiful Mess (closed) . I printed this beauty out of Cryogen cardstock and colored her in with Copic markers. I die cut her out using a Spellbinders die and cut off the top. The red border is also by Spellbinders with Recollections cardstock. The card base is green cardstock by Making Memories and the patterned paper is by Craft Smith. The stickers are by Sticko/EK Success and Mrs Grossman's. The flower rhinestones are unknown.

Thanks for looking.

Boy Teddy Bear Duet

I have two baby cards for you today. They are similar so I figured put them together in one post.

The bear stamp is by Stampin Up and it is stamped with Tsukineko brown ink and colored him in with Copic markers. I fussy cut the image out with a small white border around him and adhered him to two Cricut cuts. The first one in white patterned paper by The Paper Studio is from Close to My Heart Art Philosophy (Square 7) and the blue and brown patterned paper by Deja View is on the same cartridge as Square 5.

There are a lot of layers to this card. Starting closest to the card base is a light blue cardstock by Recollections. The white on top of that is the same patterned paper the bear is on. The darker blue paper is by Paper Pizzazz and the brown with circle like stars is by The Paper Studio. The sentiment is on Stampin Up grey cardstock and is made using Lawn Fawn stamps and brown ink. I think I should put an exclamation mark at the end. Hmm. 

The next card I stamped and colored the same way but I didn't cut him out. Instead I die cut the image with a Design Objectives die and inked the inside with distress ink. The die behind it is same paper as above and same cartridge (Square 3). The embossing on the brown cardstock is a Gina Marie folder called Fluff. That brown cardstock is by Coredinations. The blue grid patterned paper is by Basic Grey and the white paper is same as above. The sentiment is a stamp by Fiskars stamped in brown ink and the epoxy sticker is by Sticko/EK Success.

Thanks for looking.

Bella Bride Card

"Happy Friday!
The image below called Bella Bride Sassy will be free for 24 hours on our Sassy Studio Designs Facebook group!! That means that after 24 hours the image will be removed from the group and you will no longer be able to receive it for free. If you miss it - you can still purchase the image in the Sassy store at regular price. If is not in the store, which I don't think this one is in the store, than you will have to wait until it pops up again. 

This beautiful bride by Sassy Studio Design was printed onto X-Press It cardstock and colored in with Copic Markers. I did add Stickles to the flowers on her dress and her bouquet. The sentiment sticker is by Sticko, the glitter hearts by Making Memories and the ribbon is by Hobby Lobby. The heart patterned paper is by Sassafrass and the top patterned paper is by Basic Grey.

Deep Red Stamps Floral Crosses

Today I'm showing three cards all similar using the same Deep Red Stamps Floral Cross that can be found at

Scrapbook.com

or

A Cherry on Top

I stamped the cross with black ink by Hero Arts onto Strathmore watercolor paper. I colored the flowers in with distress inks and a water pen both by Ranger. I fussy cut the cross out and used cardstock by Bazzill and Creative Memories. The polka dot paper is by Making Memories and for this first card I die cut it out with a border die by Spellbinders. I stamped the Stampin Up sentiment with black Hero Arts ink on green Creative Memories cardstock.

For this second card I used a sentiment sticker by Sticko/EK Success and patterned paper by Stampin Up.

For this third card I die cut the green cardstock with some Spellbinders corner dies. I inked them with green distress ink while they were still in the die. Sentiment sticker also by Sticko/EK Success. The polka dot paper is by Studio G.

Thanks for looking.

Newton's Nook Mason Jar

My card today uses a few stamps by Newton's Nook. I stamped the mason jar and then the flowers in black ink by Hero Arts onto watercolor paper by Ranger. I die cut the image out using a rectangle Spellbinders die and inked the inside with distress ink by Ranger Industries. I used the same medium to color in the flower and the water using a water pen and water to apply the distress ink. Then I  applied Glossy Accents by Ranger Industries to the water only. 

The background patterned paper is by Stamipin Up {I think} with the white cardstock by Recollections. The thick ribbon is from my stash  and the sentiment sticker is by Sticko/EK Success. The small flower is burlap and by the company The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby. The other two flowers are made of paper and come from Oriental Trading Company.

Thank you for stopping by today.
