Spring, Flowers And Bunnies

Good Morning!  

It sounds, looks and feels like Spring!  Finally!  Let's hope it continues!

I have a few cards to share with you today.

These first 2 will be entered into the following Challenges;

Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!

Allsorts, Yellow.

I was hanging out on Pinterest and saw this beautiful card by Athena and knew I wanted to CASE it!

I used Distress Inks in; Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade.  

Sentiment stamp and Daffodil are by Gina K Designs;  Basket Blessings.

Catherine Pooler Stamp Of Approval Beautiful World; Enchanted Garden stamp and dies.

Dies R Us; Butterfly #2 set.

Designer Paper by Nicole; Think Shimmer.

Amalgam Black ink.

Copic Markers.

Water Drops.

Heidi Swapp Color Shine; White.

Mini Adhesive Pearls.

Fun Foam to back the left side panel for dimension.

So fun to make, I made 2!

All of the cards on Athena's Post are beautiful!

This next card was inspired by Jen McGuire and her Pop Up Shadow Box cards, 

really cute and FUN!

This will be entered into the Scor Pal Challenge, Soft And Subtle.

And the Scrapy Land, Anything Goes!

Using 2 pieces of card stock measuring 6 1/4 x 5 1/2, score each one at 1/2" and 1". 

Flip, and score again at the other end at 1/2" and 1".  

This is what will create that zig zag fold when you assemble together.  

This also creates the shadow box and 'popping' movement.

Gina K Designs; Happy Spring and Spring Fling.  No dies, just fussy cut all images.

Paper Smooches; Foliage 2 dies.

Poppystamps; Dogwood Blossom Corner die.

Spellbinder; Classic Ovals die.

Here you can see how it looks like a Shadow Box.

Amalgam Black ink.

Copic Markers.

WOS and Stickles.

Pink Gingham Ribbon.

Adhesive Pearls.

This last card will be entered into the Simon Says Work It Wednesday Challenge; Spring Flowers.

I used the Altenew stamp and die set; Peony Sprig.  

I picked up such a clever tid bit from Jen McGuire check out the 24:51 minute mark, you'll be glad you did!  I did this with the Peony die here, the original die cut nestles in nicely.  Cool, right?!?!

My background is stamped in Calypso Coral ink and I used the Hero Arts Holiday Plaid stamp, this is great for making such pretty backgrounds!  

I'll never hunt for another oh just perfect color plaid paper...ever!!!

Copic Markers.

WOS.

Vellum.

Clear Embossing Powder.

Amalgam Black and Calypso Coral inks.

Thanks so much for stopping by on this lovely Spring morning!

CAS JOY To The World

Back again!

I finally decided to make 20 CAS Christmas card designs.  This to me, is a mass production.  I know there are some of you who do a lot more than 20.  But I have about 30 Christmas cards made in a variety of themes and I always make 40 Beach Photo Christmas cards (which is a lot quicker than making a 'real' card).  I really would love to scale back, but I fear I may have to make even more.

These will be entered into the Challenges at; Simon Says Monday, Star Light Star Bright, Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes, and Penny Black, Clean And Simple.

Here is my CAS Christmas card collection.

 

 

I started with a design in pinks, not really what I was going for. 

Sentiments embossed in pink too.

 

 

 

 

Designer Papers by PTI

 

 

 

 

 

 

I switched over to a more rustic look.  Again, using Designer papers by PTI.

Stitched Nesting Stars by Tutti Designs

Stamped Flourish by Stamp Of Approval, Beautiful World Collection. 

Sentiments also by PTI; Wonderful Words Joy. Heat embossed in White.

 

 

 

 

Today's Tip:  Always make sure when using your Misti that you place the card base in the correct way, otherwise, use a handy dandy piece of Washi Tape to conceal the evidence lol.  Thankfully I only did this once, now who will be the lucky recipient of that?  HA!

 

Thanks for coming by.

 

Merry Merry!

 

 

 

Thinking Of You

Good afternoon!  Man the Internet Gremlins are acting up.....it's driving me crazy!

Today's card will be entered into the following Challenges; Hero Arts, Tone On Tone, WOW! Embossing Powder. Simon Says Monday, Emboss It and Simon Says Wednesday, Flowers.

 

I used the Gina K Designs set from the Stamp Of Approval Box, Beautiful World.  I Stamped this image twice with Versa Mark ink and White Embossing Powder.  It is stunning when heated!  I then sponged Fired Brick Distress ink all over the panel.  Using my water brush I began 'lifting' some of the ink off just by 'painting'  This is a fabulous technique, Jen McGuire has an awesome video HERE.  I also splattered a bit of water all over the card, which also lifts the ink, to add some interest.  Added a bit of Peeled Paint Distress ink to the large leaves. 



Sentiment from the Hero Arts set, Everyday Sayings.  This was stamped in Fired Brick ink and covered in Clear Embossing Powder, it really POPS especially against the Vellum background.  A few small and large Rhinestones for accents. 

Thanks for popping in!

Enjoy~~ 











Happy Mother's Day

Good Afternoon!

Today's card will be entered into the Challenges at; CheeryLynn, Mother's Day, Penny Black, Anything Goes, Stamping Sensations, Anything Goes and ScrapyLand, Anything Goes.

 

Using the Stamp Of Approval Beautiful World Collection I created this garden trellis Mother's Day card.  Stamps and dies from the set are by Sugar Pea, Enchanted Garden.  The Burlap die cut by Cheery Lynn was used as my trellis works well for lattice.  Images colored with Copic Markers.



Sentiment from MFT, Sweet Roses, stamped on a hand cut banner flag.  Designer Paper by Nicole, Oh Blooming!  Crystal Drops for flower centers, some popped up using 3 dimensionals.  So many beautiful flowers in this Collection.

Thanks for popping in...wish I could be out in my gardens but it is still damp and raw out.....must craft through the bad weather!

Enjoy~~

I made a few thank you notes and will enter them in the following Challenges; Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes, Penny Black, Anything Goes, and Stamping Sensations, Anything Goes.

 

 

Another fun project made using the Stamp Of Approval, Beautiful World Collection.  I gave the GeoBuilders stamp an Ombre look. All About You stamp and matching die sets.  Enchanted Butterfly die. 

 

Butterfly and flourish stamps from the Beautiful World set.  Inks in Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise and Wild Wasabi.   Wink Of Stella Clear and rhinestones for accents.  I adore this little matching envelope.
