Rooted in Nature Masculine card

Hey Guys!

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE checkered paper!  Well, the great news is that Stampin’ Up! has come out with an awesome stamp that lets you have a checkered pattern on any cardstock in any color!

I used Soft Suede cardstock and stamped the Buffalo Check in Black.  It came out so nice!!  I stamped the Big Oak tree from Rooted in Nature and die cut it (thank God, no more fussy cutting!), put it on a square piece of Black and it really popped.  Once I put it on the Checkered pattern I was in love!  I used the Black 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon from the NEW 2018 Holiday Catalog.  It was the perfect touch!  Instead of doing what I normally do, I placed the ribbon over the square, because it looked great with the tree ‘sitting’ on it!  I hope you like it!

I’m teaching a class on the 10th at our local Senior Center, this will be one of the cards we will be making!

I have so much fun rubber stamping.  When I was a young adult my sister started painting on porcelain making dolls and pottery.  I was so impressed with her artistic ability.  I thought well God gave her a gift, I am NOT artistic!  Then I started stamping, at first I copied everything, then slowly started changing things up.  I am so happy to tell you, I AM artistic!  WOOHOO! I joined Stampin’ Up! over 15 years ago, and can’t see my life NOT doing this.  If you would like to join my team, I would love to help you be artistic too!

Still Night NEW Stamp set in Holiday Catalog

Hey Guys!

Today I am sharing with you an easy card that you can make if you are in a hurry.  This can be for a man or woman!  Those type of cards are hard to come by!  I love the new Owl in the stamp set from Stampin’ Up! called Still Night.  The branch can be used different ways and the owl can look different depending on how you color it.

I stamped the Buffalo Check stamp (also from SU!) onto Crumb cake using Early Espresso ink. Sponged the edges to make it look even more ‘old’.  I stamped the owl on a scrap of Vanilla and colored it using the Soft Suede/Crumb Cake Blends.  This stamp is EASY to color!  I used the Die that matches the owl, put Dimensionals on the back and he is ready to put on my card!  I die cut the branch from Soft Suede cardstock laid it over a Very Vanilla oval die cut with Stitched Framelits.  I sponged the edges of the oval with Soft Suede and used the Early Espresso marker to add the stitched look.

I hope you like my easy card!  I would love to hear what you think.

Christmas Scrapbook Pages using Winter Woods

Hey Guys!

Today I am sharing with you a THREE page spread that I did for my Daughter.  Scrapbooking is my First passion, it’s the reason I got involved with rubber stamping!  Who knew that I would STILL be doing this 17 years later?!

I’m way behind on my scrapbooking, my daughter just left for college and I’m at Christmas 2006!   Just a ‘tad’ behind!

Here are my pages:

Page 2:

And this is the last page:

I don’t usually use Designer Series paper (DSP) on my scrapbooks, I tend to hoard them.  But this came out so well, I will just have to re-think that!

For the Deer and the Trees, I stamped the Deer First and then masked them and then stamped the trees.  It makes it look like the deer are in front of the trees!!

The supplies for these pages are listed below, just click on any of the pictures and you will be taken straight to my OnLine Store!!

I’m off to get my fingers even MORE inky than they are already!

Painted Glass with Rose Glimmer Paper

Hey Guys,

This card is the Epitome of a Girly Card!!  I used the Petal Promenade Designer Paper, with the die from the Painted Glass bundle.  The butterfly is from the same stamp set!  I used a Fresh Fig ink pad with an aqua painter and the Petal Pink for the middle to color the butterfy.  Then I covered the whole thing with Wink of Stella!  This card is so much fun!

The base is Fresh Fig, next layer is Petal Pink, then black and finally the Designer Paper.  The banner is Petal pink edged with the Rose Glimmer!  HAD to add the sparkle!!

This is a very simple card, just pop out the die, stamp the sentiment and the butterfly.  Color the butterfly and layer  all the cardstock and you are done!  BUT, it is so pretty!!  You would think it took much longer.

I was inspired by Rene Daley, you can see her card here.

Thanks for stopping by!!  I appreciate you!

Painted Glass Clean and Simple card

Hey Guys,

Today I am sharing with you a Clean and Simple (CAS) card.  I don’t do these very often, but I always ask myself why I don’t when I make things this pretty!

I used the Stained glass Bundle, which is a definite need if you haven’t bought it already!  The center of the image is punched out with the 2″ circle punch!  LOVE when I can use a punch!

Here is the card:

There is a Rhinestone in the center of the medallion that I colored with a Bermuda Bay Blend.  The black outside is from the die, cut twice.  It’s a half circle, but I put them together and hid the seam with the Banner in Petal Pink.  Then the Black Cording.  I also have more Rhinestones colored the same way around the card.  Polka Dot Embossing folder was used also.

Hope you like this as much as I do!!  I’ll be posting again soon!

Thank you for your support!

Christmas in July Final Card #6

Hey guys,

I’ve been sharing with you all the Christmas cards I did for my Christmas in July class……hope you have liked them so far!

Today is the Bonus Card where my guests only made 1 of this one. The reason is because I would have had to buy at LEAST 4 – 5 packages just for this one Designer paper since I had 10 people come and if they each did 3, well you do the math!

This was one of my favorites that we made.  I love plaid and the green with the blue is so pretty!  Plus the trees stamped on the front really remind me of picking out Christmas trees!  Does it you?

Here is the front of the card:

And the inside:

Isn’t this a pretty card!?

I added Wink of Stella under the trees on the front and under the one on the inside to give it the ‘snowy’ feeling.  One of the trees is popped up on the front to add dimension.

The supplies are listed below, click on any picture to be taken to my OnLine Store!   This is the end of my Christmas cards, be sure to come back to see what I make next time!

Thank you for supporting me!

August Class Stained Glass Vellum

Hey Guys,

I’m super excited to share this card with you!  I absolutely LOVE to do this technique with Vellum.  I turn the vellum over and using an Impressor and a soft pad I push into the Vellum softly at first and then add more pressure as the paper fibers break down.  You don’t want to push too hard or you will go through the paper, but the more you can press the puffier it will get in the front! This is what makes the vellum white!

Here is a picture:

All the white you see in the lily is the Vellum where it is puffy!  In person this card is stunning! You just want to feel it!  I have a video doing this technique if you want to watch it on YouTube!

I colored it using Blends: Mint Macaron, Old Olive, Calypso Coral.  The ribbon is two colors twisted together, and the sentiment is from Graceful Glass stamped on Vellum and then attached to Mint Macaron cardstock.  The one layer is Calypso Coral run through the Brand New Folder Subtle.  It really gives you a nice texture!

For the background panel, I used the Embossing Mats and the die from this set and just got the impression of the die.  That is so much fun to do!!  When you watch the video all the dimensions will be included.  I saw the background for this card on Pinterest, but can’t remember where!  If you know, please let me know so I can give credit!

Thank you for stopping by!  I appreciate your support!
