Hip Hop card

This is my card for a challenge on Unity's Hip Hop Thursday. It was to make a card using a sentiment stamp and patterned paper.

Lovely Trees

I made this card by stamping the roll of trees, and the large tree from Lovely as a Tree on glossy card stock.. I first inked with versamark and then basic black so that I could heat emboss them. I punched a circle out of a post it note making sure to punch at the top so that it punched where the sticky part is. I used this to mask off for the sun. With the circle(mask) in place I sponged with so saffron first then more mustard, ending with really rust. For the ground I sponged with creamy caramel, I sponged heavier for the shadows of the trees. Thanks for looking.

Pocket Kindness

I made this for the limited supply challenge (lsc186) from yesterday on SCS, and also for Allison's (from Stampin' When I Can) suggestive Sunday challenge to use a silhouette. I had a hard time with the limits on this one but in the end was happy with my card. I found the instruction from Julie at Paper Pleasing Ideas, here is a link to the tutorial. Thanks for looking.

Best Wishes

This was a super quick card I made for a friend at work, she got a better job and has left us. She will be missed very much but I wish her the best in her venture. I stamped the background with baroque motifs in pretty in pink. For the main image I stamped with basic gray and the flowers with pretty in pink. The sentiment is from sincere salutations. Last I added small clear rhinestones to the center of the flowers. I think it took me about 10 minutes to complete the card, and that included designing it. It is not my best card I have ever made, but you can't bet it when you need a card fast. Thanks for looking.

Birthday Daisies

This is the card I made last week for Jessica Fick's waste not want not challenge. so the challenge was to use all of a 6x6 piece of patterned paper on a card. Not an easy thing for me to do. I used the daisy from Flowers for Daisy after stamping and coloring with pencils and oms, I cut the daisies out and removed the stem. Then I inked the daisy with versamark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.


On the inside I used a 2x2 piece layered on a square of river rock and then on ruby red. On the left side I used a piece 2x4 to create a pocket for a gift card. Thanks for looking.

Pocket Silhouette for Beate

I made this card for Beate's weekend sketch challenge (WSC56). The stamped image is stamped in chocolate chip once and then stamped three times without reinking. To make the scallop braid I used my new scallop edge punch like normal and then on the other side I offset the scallops and punched it again, this gave the look of a braid. Thanks for looking.

Skate Boarding Turtle

I made this card for Cammie's sketch challenge for Friday night's release party for Gina K. Designs. I just love this turtle from Whatever floats your boat. I used my aqua pen and ink pads to color him. Thanks for looking.

Purse Addiction

I made these cards for Unity's Hip Hop Thursday this week. During the posting craziness a challenge was issued to make a card using polka dots. I love Unity's stamps so these where fun for me to make. for the purses I stamped them on designer paper and heat embossed them. The price tag were made by stamping the numbers on shrink plastic and cutting in a tag shape. I attached them with beading wire and a crimp bead.














For the flower card I colored the stamp with markers and added gems to the center. The river rock layer is stamped with versamark ink and heat embossed with clear powder.
Super simple card.

Butterfly Tee

This is my card for Beate's weekend sketch challenge (WSC54). If you read my blog by now you have figured out that I love Melanie Muenchinger's Little Tees set. I did make one small change to the sketch, I didn't want to cover up the tee so I cut the sentiment panel shorter. It is hard to see in the photo but there are three tiny rhinestones for the body of the butterfly. To get the blues on the shirt to blend I inked up the stamp with my kaleidacolor pad and then held the stamp upside down and spritzed over the stamp with rubbing alcohol so that it would fall on top of the inked stamp. Doing this really allowed the colors to blend and giving the tee a nice variegated look.
Thanks for looking.

Olympic Tee

I got the idea to make an Olympic tee last week while watching Michael Phelps swim, wow he was awesome. I am loving Melanie Muenchinger's newest stamp set Little Tees. To make the rings I punched a 1/4" circle in shrink plastic and then traced on the inside with the different colors. this was a fun card to make. Thanks for looking.

Ornament Shaker Card

I made this for the limited supply challenge this week on Split Coast Stampers. For this challenge all you had to do was use a snowman image. I enjoyed making my last ornament card that I thought I would make one as a shaker card. I did have some trouble gluing it all together and keeping the micro beads and glitter inside. I used my nestabilities to cut the circles. I colored the hat and scarf with water color pencils, and with my snow writer I added the white puff to the hat.
Thanks for looking.

Ornament note card

Stamping Links to Love is having their first weekly challenge Out of the Box . I got the idea to make a ornament card this morning from Angie over at Chic 'n Scratch. She made a ornament for Christmas using a 4" circle coaster. This is out of the box for me because I don't make many round cards and I never make a one layer card. I also wanted to make a Christmas card without using any Christmas stamps, so out came Baroque Motifs (great set). I stamped using charcoal ink for the swirls and bashful blue for the "snowflakes", then I added some small rhinestones to the center. For the hanger I punched out with my round tab punch and then trimmed the rounded part off. I next attached another circle to the back using the tab to be the hinge for the card to open. The circles were cut using the second to largest circle from my nestabilities set. Last step was to add the ribbon to hang from the tree. Thanks for looking.
