Love You Much Card!

Happy Saturday morning all!  I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far.  My hunny made it home very late last night so all is good here!!  I love the colors in this card!  I got the inspiration from the designer series paper that I used.  I hope you enjoy!

Colors:  bermuda bay, pumpkin pie, crushed currie, old olive

Accessories:  designer label punch, silver brads, scallop edge punch, white gel pen, 1/2" circle punch, Welcome Neighbor designer series paper from the SAB flyer, old olive 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, heart to heart punch, StazOn black, pumpkin pie and crushed currie stampin' markers

Stamp set:  Love You Much

This is such a great stamp set that sadly I only think of using around Valentine's Day!  I had a lot of fun while I was putting it together.  For the heart, I stamped it using my black StazOn and colored in the open flowers with pumpkin pie and the dots with crushed currie markers.  I stamped the heart again with my bermuda bay ink and punched out the solid flowers with the 1/2" circle punch and used dimensionals to put them on.  I stamped the 3 hearts on some scrap pumpkin and currie and used the punch.  I am happy to say that this is one of the cards for my card classes Feb and March!  Don't forget to register with me!

Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge- Well Scripted!

Ok!  So I was having a lot of fun creating today and I thought I would try the Stamping 411 Challenge!  I just love new ideas and layouts, don't you??  Enjoy!

Colors:  chocolate chip, pretty in pink, kraft

Accessories:  pretty in pink satin ribbon, heart to heart punch, Sweet Pea designer series paper, Scallop Trim corner and edge punches, dazzling diamonds glitter, white gel pen

Stamp set:  Well Scripted clear mount, Love You Much

For this project I aged everything using my creamy caramel and stampin' sponges!  I even aged the ribbon!  I am going to be using this card for my cousin's wedding this weekend.  His soon to be wife loves pink!
 

Weekend Sketch Challenge- a little twist!

Happy Tuesday everyone!  I am back with Gretchen Barron's Weekend Sketch Challenge!  Again I threw in a little twist, a Top Note die Box.  I hope you like!!

Here is what it looks like on the inside.

And a side view

Colors:  pretty in pink, real red, chocolate chip, kraft

Accessories:  chocolate chip satin ribbon, Sweet Pea dsp, build a brad-antique brass, Big Shot with the Top Note die, Scallop Trim edge punch(available in the Sale-a-Bration mini), stampin write markers in pretty in pink, real red, basic blak and old olive, 1/2" circle punch

Stamp set:  Love You Much

I got this idea from my sister!  It is so cute!!  To make the top and base of the box I used the cardboard from the dsp packages and cut it to fit the top note die.  Then, using a glue stick, I attached the real red textured cardstock to the top and the kraft to the bottom.  After it dried I ran it through the Big Shot.  For my side decoration I made my strips of chocolate chip, edged it with the Scallop Trim punch, and my dsp from the Sweet Pea pack.  I adhered them and ran them through the Big Shot as well.  Oh, and I aged everything on this project using my creamy caramel ink pad and a stampin' sponge!!  Let me know what you think!  Have a great day!
 
 
 

I {heart} Hearts too!

Good Friday morning all!  Generally I love Fridays because my hunny is on his way home but, unfortunately he won't be home this week until tomorrow!  At least I have an extra day to clean the house, to look at the silver lining here!!  I was playing once again with my Clear Mount stamps and came up with another Valentine's Day card.  I think this as well could be on the masculine side, although my son liked yesterday's card better.  

Colors:  basic black, basic grey, real red

Accessories:  rhinestone brad, black gingham ribbon, real red satin ribbon

Stamp set:  I {heart} Hearts, With all My Heart

As you can see this was quick to put together!  The size of this card is 5"x5".  Have a great day!!
 

I {heart} Hearts Card!

Good afternoon all!!  Although it is on the chilly side here the sun is shining so brightly it just makes you feel great!  I got to thinking today at how much I don't do manly cards.  So with that in mind I went to work using my new clear mount stamps!  I do have to say I LOVE them!  I wasn't too sure if I would or not, but I do.  My oldest son loved this card!  Enjoy!!

Colors:  crushed currie, kraft, old olive, pumpkin pie, bermuda bay

Accessories:  old olive 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, kraft corduroy button(brads), build a brad-pewter, Welcome Neighbour designer series paper

Stamp set:  I {heart} Hearts, Holiday Best

I used the kraft cardstock for my background edged with old olive ink.  I attached my grosgrain ribbon to my dsp and then adhered to the kraft base.  For the hearts in the top portion I used my stampin' markers in old olive, pumpkin pie and crushed currie.  Then I distressed the edges, adhered to the pumpkin and put in the brad!  I hope you are enjoying your day!
