I Brake for Flower Carts!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my niece's 18th birthday card.

Since she's "grown up" now I wanted to make her a card that seemed a little more grown up.

I've used 

FRENCH FLOWER CART

by 

Rick St. Dennis

available at

  I Brake for Stamps

I'm not sure if my niece has a favorite color flower so I did a variety of colors.

What a pretty little cart!

On the inside I used

BEST WISHES BIRTHDAY

I Brake for Dapper Skeletons!

Here's a Halloween card featuring the ever-so-dapper Skelly Tonn from the Randi Dandi Halloween Series 1 Collection of rubber stamps by Rick St. Dennis that are available exclusively at I Brake for Stamps.

Skelly Tonn was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (Imagine Crafts) and colored with Copic markers. The tip of his cigarette, eyes, and nose apertures of the skulls on his bowtie and fashionable cufflink received dabs of red, orange, and yellow glitter pens. The skulls, buttons, and his cigarette holder were coated with several layers of clear glaze pen to add dimension and shine. The Skelly Tonn image was then fussy-cut and edged with a black marker.

I selected a sheet of patterned paper, then placed the Skelly Tonn image upon it. I loosely traced Skelly Tonn's shape onto the patterned paper using a charcoal pencil, lifted the image, then used the charcoal pencil to color the traced image. When I was happy with the coverage, I also used the charcoal pencil to edge the image panel. The image was loosely adhered inside the charcoal-colored area.

Orange cardstock was cut and folded to form the card. The image panel was adhered to it. A scrap of the excess cardstock was die-cut with the words from a  Happy Halloween sentiment die set. Pale yellow-orange vellum was die-cut with the shadow dies from the Happy Halloween sentiment die set and the vapor die from a cauldron die set. The vapor die-cut was adhered behind the cigarette on the Skelly Tonn image, which was then more firmly adhered to the image panel. The orange Happy Halloween sentiments were adhered to their vellum shadow counterparts, which were then adhered to finish the card.

I Brake for Ghostly Monsters!

Here's my card featuring Tworki, one of the Rick St. Dennis rubber stamps that is exclusively available at I Brake for Stamps.

I decided that Tworki would make a fabulous ghost, so he was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (Imagine Crafts) onto a piece of very old patterned paper from a 6x6 pad, then colored with Copic markers. When Tworki was fully colored, the patterned paper was sponged with Wild Honey Distress ink (Ranger), then edged with Black Soot Distress ink. 

The image panel was matted with green cardstock, which was then adhered to a black card. A scrap of the leftover green cardstock was die-cut with a speech bubble die. "Happy Halloween" from a rub-on sheet was added to the speech bubble to finish the card.

I Brake for Masked Ladies!

It's the end of August, the weather here in New Jersey has been wonderfully cool, squirrels have been very busy gathering acorns, and some leaves are beginning to fall. All this means is that Autumn will be here soon, which means that Halloween rapidly approacheth! Hurray!

Here's my card featuring Mardi Gras Beads, one of the Rick St. Dennis rubber stamps that is exclusively available at I Brake for Stamps.

I know the stamp's name is Mardi Gras Beads, but I think she's perfect for Halloween too! Mardi Gras Beads was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (Imagine Crafts) onto white cardstock. The image panel was die-cut with a rectangle die then colored with Copic markers to match the wonderful Midnight Masquerade 8x8 patterned paper pad (Graphic 45). 

Three different papers from the pad were layered, then the edges were distressed to reveal the white core. The card front was adhered to an off-white card and the image panel was adhered.

Here's a card with The Queen, one of the fabulous Rick St. Dennis rubber stamps that are exclusively available at I Brake for Stamps.

The Queen was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (Imagine Crafts) and colored with Copic markers. The image panel was die-cut, kept in the die, and the floor was added. Milled Lavender Distress ink (Ranger) was sponged over the die and onto the image panel. The image panel was removed from the die, then gold glitter pen was added to star on the the Queen's wand, radiating from her fingers, and from the moon on her headdress. Clear glitter pen was used to add sparkle to the gemstones on her dress. Black glitter pen was used to add a touch of sparkle to the buttons on her sleeves. When the glitter ink was dry, several layers of Clear Gelly Glaze pen was used to add dimension and shine to the moon on the Queen's headress, her dagger, and the star on her wand.

Patterned papers, from old 6x6 pads, were selected to match the Queen's outfit then die-cut. The patterned papers were layered, then adhered to green cardstock which had been die-cut with a slightly larger die. A sparkly holographic foil sticker was adhered over the seam, then the The Queen image panel was adhered.

White cardstock was scored, folded, and die-cut with the largest die from the same set to form a card. The matted tag-shaped card front was adhered and a sentiment sticker was added to finish the card.

so to get this look I made my own background paper by stamping the poppy in black memento ink ( copic friendly )

I stamped the whole sheet going in different direction and not over-lapping the image

next I add some R59 to the inside ends of the petal to give depth and dimension , I also add yellow stickles dots to the centers

the Hello die cut is from Stampin Up , I die cut it 3 times from black cardstock and stack layered it up , my image was copic colored

I Brake for Alice!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a card that I made for my friend.  She's been feeling a little down about something so I was hoping to cheer her up a bit.  She loves Alice in Wonderland so when I saw this image I knew it would  be perfect.

I created a sort of "Through the Looking Glass" feel by cutting a double window on 3 panels to look through to the main image.

The image I used is called Hat Shoppe #1 by Rick St. Dennis.

This inside panel with the image on it lifts up to reveal a sentiment that sums up our friendship nicely.  We've only known each other a few years but I feel like we know each other quite well.  Once we're done venting to each other we have so many laughs!

The sentiment is A True Friend.

Here's the card folded flat.

Just the inside two panels.

Isn't the image so pretty?

Can't you just see this in the window of a fun little shop?

I printed a few mushrooms off my computer to add a little more whimsy.

If you love Alice in Wonderland too here are a couple of links to check out.

I Brake for Magic!

Here's a card with The Queen, one of the fabulous Rick St. Dennis rubber stamps available at I Brake for Stamps.

The Queen was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (Imagine Crafts) and colored with Copic markers. Clear Glitter pen was added around her fingers and her wand.

Patterned paper was selected from a bunch of old 6x6 pads to match her outfit. The white paper edges were sponged with Black Soot and Scattered Straw Distress ink (Ranger).

Word stickers were used to add the sentiment to finish the card.
