Sweet Birthday Card for Workshop Sept 2016

This card today showcases one of my favorite stamp sets from the new catalog.  It is called 
Sweet Birthday.  Super cute stamp set with 9 stamps. 

The background paper is from the Whimsy Fundamentals Paper Pack.  I used the Thistle Cardstock behind the stamped image and the cut out ribbon.

I sponged the patterned paper and the white cardstock pieces with the matching Thistle Exclusive Ink Pad.

I colored in the cute cupcake image with Small Round Waterbrush and Watercolor paints.  Such a fun card to make and give away!  Hope you enjoyed this. Hugs!

Blessed Beyond Measure September Stamp of the Month


I used paper from the Enchantment Fundamentals Paper Packet as a background for the stamped images. 

I used Goldrush Cardstock and Fern Cardstock. 

I used 3 colors of stamp pad colors:  New England Ivy Exclusive Ink Pad, Goldrush Exclusive Ink Pad and Pomegranate Exclusive Ink Pad for the stamped images. 

I cut the leaves out with the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge Collection.

For the little "pop up dots" on the Pomegranate stamped dots, I used a product called Liquid Glass that not only dries clear and has a 3-D effect, you can also use it to adhere small embellishments!  

Sponged the outside edges with Peacock Exclusive Ink Pad.

Remember this stamp set is only available for this month!! Thanks for stopping by and seeing my creation.  Have a wonderful day. Hugs!

Flower Birthday Card

I made this card for a special friend of mine. She always  has a smile for me and I love her her kind ways and how she shows her love to everyone she meets. 

For this card I used two Cricut cartridges to cut out ALL the images on this card. The first cartridge is called Cricut Artbooking and the second one is called Cricut Flower Market. The flower market cartridge is brand new for Close To My Heart!  Click on the links above to see them.

I also used the Confetti Embossing Folder for the raised dots on the white cardstock. 

I used the new Seaglass Cardstock for the vase, bow, happy birthday and base.  I used the Sweet leaf Cardstock for the flower stems and the Canary Cardstock for the flowers. 

Thanks all for stopping by and seeing what I have created.  I have some more cards to post. We just finished my workshop.  So check back in a couple of days to see what I created for my club members to make.   Hugs!

Kitty Birthday

Hello Everyone!

I have been meaning to get this on my blog and finally here it is!  
I made this card for my awesome sister-in-law who loves cats as much as I do!  It was a fun card to make!

Here is a list of the products that I used to make this card.  Make sure to click on the links if you want to see them larger and how to purchase them if you are interested.

I started off by using Sweet Leaf Cardstock for the base of my card.  I then embossed the front using the Confetti Stars Embossing Folder.  Since the cardstock has a white core, I sanded lightly the raised stars to make them pop. 

I used the Short and Sweet Sentiments Stamp Set Qty 12 for the balloons. I used the Super Fine Clear Embossing Powder and birthday sentiment from the above set and embossed on a piece of white cardstock.  Then I used the balloon from the Happy For You Stamp Set Qty of 25 and stamped over the embossed Happy Birthday image in three colors of ink:  Sorbet Ink Pad, Canary Ink Pad and Pixie Stamp Pad.  I then took the super sharp Micro tip Scissors and cut out the balloons. 

I then took a piece of Canary Cardstock and a piece of Sorbet Cardstock out of my scrap box to make the gift. I used the new Thin Cuts - The Gift Metal Dies to cut out the gift. I attached some pretty White Glitter Paper behind the gift to make it sparkle. 

I then pulled out my Cricut Artistry Cartridge to cut out the cute cats.  I used black cardstock and Slate Cardstock.  I attached it all together with some 3-D Foam Tape.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my creation. I have workshop in the next day or so and I will have even more cards to show you!  Have a wonderful day!  Hugs!

Sympathy

I used the brand new Cricut Flower Market Collection to cut out the flowers. 





And I used the brand new Tangerine Exclusive Ink Pad with the matching Tangerine Cardstock. 

I then finished the card by adding  Enamel Gems.
