Thinking of You

Hello friends,

Today, I'm sharing a card made with Crafter's Companion products: Floral Fancies, Dreamy Daisies, Hessian embossing folder, and Spectrum Noir markers (BP2, PL1, PP1, CG1).

I created my texture background with the embossing folder.  On a piece of card stock, I stamped, colored my Hibiscus flowers and cut them.  The sentiment stripe was white embossed.  Finally, I assembled my flowers and the sentiment over the textured panel.

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day!




Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!

I have a non-traditional colored Christmas card to share.  I want the card to be cheerful and fun, so I chose Distress Inks: worn lipstick, tumbled glass, and mustard seed for the background.  The stamps used on this card were: Santa's DeliverySeason's Greetings.  To color Santa's sleigh, I used several markers:  Spectrum Noir (TN6, FS3, DR1, and DG3), Sparkle Pens (harvest moon, aquamarine, and clear).  

I hope you have a wonderful time with your loved ones!

Red and Gold Joy Card

Hello,

Today, I'm sharing a bold color Christmas card using inlaid technique.  This Joy die is by Crafter's Companion.  First, I place the die on a piece of red card stock, ran it through my Big Shot.  Before removing the Joy image, I placed a piece of double sided tape behind the card stock, so when I removed the image, the negative detailed pieces stay put.  Next, I die cut "Joy" on a piece of gold card stock, and placed it on the red card stock.  It'd fit right in between the red details.

Thank you so much for visiting, have a great day!


Silent Night

Hello friends,

Have you finished making Christmas cards?  I still have more to make.  This is one of the designs I made for my kids' teacher.  I made a box of cards as a Christmas gift.

This card is so easy to make.  I started out with masking the borders on my card base.  I used Distress Inks Faded Jeans, and Dusty Concord to create the night background.  The pine trees are part of the Die'sire Scenic Pines die by Crafter's Companion.  I die cut and adhered the pine trees over my background using foam tape then added Diamond Stickles glue.  The sparkles against the dark background is very beautiful in person.  Sentiment is from Season's Greetings.  

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day!

I hope you've had a wonderful time with your family on Thanksgiving.  This year, I baked honey glazed ham, instead of turkey.  It was a big hit, especially with my little ones.  They love ham with cinnamon apple on top.  I'm drooling just to talk about food :).  Let's get to the card I made!

This card was made using the CC stamps sets called Floral Fancies and Dreamy Daisies.  I really love the delicate details of this floral image.  Uh I don't even know what type of flower this is.  Can someone tell me please?

I stamped the images and colored them with Spectrum Noir: BP6, BP2, PP1, DG3, CG2, and CG1.  For the sentiment, I white embossed it on a piece of black card stock.  I adhered the sentiment on vellum and trimmed it.  Then the sentiment was adhered over the floral background using foam tape.

Great News!!

Good morning everyone,

I have some great news to share: I will be joining Crafter's Companion Design Team.  It is such an honor to be part of a group of super talented ladies.  

Let's get to the card I made for today.

- On a piece of A2 cardstock, I partially embossed the bottom part and set aside.  
- Next I stamped my flowers and leaves on Spectrum Aqua Watercolor cardstock using Antique Linen Distress Ink.  The stamps are from Anemone stamp set.  This my my fist time using this cardstock and really like it.  Since my flowers are colored in, you can't see the difference, but this cardstock is whiter than the one found at local craft stores.  
- I colored them using Spectrum Aqua markers in aquamarine, orange, yellow and moss.  After cutting these flowers and leaves out, I adhered them just above the embossed area on my card stock.
- Finally, I added the sentiment from Butterfly Silk set and adhered the panel over the card base. 

That's it for today.  Thank you so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful week!!
