Happy

This cute stamp is from Paper Nest Dolls.  A variety of Copic markers were used to color the image.  The image was cute with a Spellbinder oval and distressed with Antique Linen.  The oval image was mounted on a pink cut with another Spellbinder die.  Festive spring paper, a memory box leaf die and ribbon helped finish off the card.  Hope you enjoy.

The Look of spring

Today is to be a nice warm spring day so I thought a post with flowers would be appropriate.  This card is a top fold A2 in size.   The card base is Desert Storm and scraps were used for the black and blue.  The flowers were stamped with Lawn Fawn "Our Friendship Grows" set and cut with the coordinating die.  The flowers were colored with copic markers and layered on the card.  A simple card that is quick to make.  Hope you enjoy

Happy 50th Birthday

A very simple card made for someone with a 50th birthday.  The sentiment was heat embossed and is from Penny Black.  The Balloons were oval dies and a small hand cut paper added to create the bottom of the balloon.  The 50 is from a set of dimensional stickers.  A little black twine makes the balloons look like they are in the air.  The white has been dry embossed with a Happy Birthday folder from Sizzix.  After I took the picture I added Wink of Stella glitter to the black balloons.  Hope you enjoy. 

Is it coffee time

Today is the big spring workshop in Walnut Grove.  This is a sample card using one of the workshop stamps to show others ways of using it.  There are three stamp sets used on this card.  Taylored expressions has some really nice coffee sets and two are used here along with a sentiment stamp from Stampendous.  Copic markers, distress inks and ribbon finish off the card

Cap and Gown

It is getting to that time of year when graduation cards are needed.  This simple card is made with scraps of paper, copic markers and Paper Nest Doll "Graduation Ellie" stamp.  The sentiment "Cap and Gown Tradition" is from a scrap that had words on it.  A hat sticker helps finishes off the card.  Everything was mounted on a royal blue and then to a white card base.  This is a simple card so hope you enjoy.

Botanical Notes

Penny Black "Botanical Notes" stamped with Memento Black and colored with Copic Markers help finish this card. Markers used:  G43, G45, RV11, RV13, Y19, B00.   The flower was stamped twice and fussy cut, popped and dimension added to the card.  Antique Linen Distress ink was used on the card. The butterfly has Wink of Stella glitter on it.  The paper is Botanical Tea Collection from Graphic 45 and Bazzil brown.  Hope you enjoy

Petal Party

This is a one layer card with the paper being cut to form an A2 card.  The flowers were stamped using the Penny Black stamp set "Petal Party" with Memento Black.  The images were then colored using Copic Markers V20, V22, V25, YG93 and YG95.  When this was completed a black line was drawn 1/4 inch from the edge using the Tim Holtz ruler and a Copic Multiliner 05.   Hope you enjoy.

Dahlias and Lattice

JustRite Stampers sponsors a Tuesday Tutorial where Darci Bruno hosts a video showing how to make this card. (  The link to the Tuesday Tutorial  ) .  I made this card to give to a very special couple on the purchase of a new home.  Copic markers were used to color the flower and butterfly.  The butterfly was cut using a coordinating Taylored Expressions die.  Wink of Stella glitter pen was used on both the flower and butterfly.   Not really a simple card, but fun to make.  Hope you enjoy.

Blooming Tag

It has been awhile since I colored with my Copic Markers so this was a fun card to put together.  The tag is from a new set by Penny Black "Blooming Tags".  The Copic markers used for this card were B00, BV01, YG93 and YG95.  Distress inks Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo were used to distress the tag which was mounted on black.  A hole was punched and black twine added.  The next part was the card base which is made of Royal Fiber Birch, stencils (the butterflies are Memory Box and I do not remember the leaves) and the  distress inks Rusty Hinge and Peeled Paint.  The tag was mounted on the card base using pop dots.  The sentiment is from the Penny Black set, stamped in Versafine Black and clear embossed.  When the card was assemble I decided to add the butterfly and distressed the edges with Vintage Photo.  This butterfly was stamped using a Taylored Expressions set "Make it amazing".  The butterfly was colored with the same colors as the flower and then Wink of Stella glitter was placed all over followed with a clear emboss.  Several steps to complete, but a fun card to make.  Hope you enjoy

Valentine's Day

The card started with a 4.25 x 11 paper that was scored at 5.5 to make a top fold.  A corner rounder was used to cut all of the bottom corners in each layer.  A piece of DP from American Crafts was cut to 3.5 by 5 and mounted on the card base.  Another piece of white was cut to 3.5 x 4.75 to make the top layer and the bottom corners.  The sentiment from Avery Elle was stamped and then clear embossed.  Washi tape was placed in the upper right with three gems.  Red Hearts purchased by the yard were cut apart and placed on the card using glossy accents.  The top layer was popped on the card.  Hope you enjoy.
