Cutest Dog Shaker Card

Hey Guys!

I was wanting to make a shaker card, and I wanted to make a Dog card using the new Stamp set from Stampin’ Up! called Happy Tails, so I put them together!

This dog is stinkin’ cute!  Holding a shaker card is so much fun you HAVE to see how it works! The dog fits perfectly in the open area of the shaker that I made using the Stitched Shapes framelits.

Hey Guys!

I love searching Pinterest for a card to make.  I found this really pretty one by Susanne Netz and decided to CASE it for a class.

Here is a picture of hers:

Here is my card:

I changed it up a bit by framing it with black and matting that onto a piece of Balmy Blue.  I ran the Balmy Blue through the Big Shot using the Subtles Embossing Folder.  I sponged the edges with Balmy Blue to give it a softer look.

High Tide Close Up

Hey Guys!

Today I am sharing with you a card that I HAD to make!  I saw it on YouTube by Esther-Stampin Star Creations.  THIS card was so much fun to make and I LOVE Black and White cards!

The ONLY thing I changed up from Esthers’ card is I added the Baker’s Twine on the bottom.  I also think my white is smaller than the one she used, I didn’t notice it was smaller until after I cut it! So there it stayed.

Here are the specifics for this card:

Stamp sets

High Tide

Paper
Whisper White Thick 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″ (x2)
black 5 1/4″ x 4″ (x2)
Inks
Memento black
Basic Gray
Accessories
Layering Circles (2nd biggest)
Dimensionals
Black Bakers Twine
Sponges

When you look at this card, it looks like it would difficult. Or time consuming.  It’s neither!  Sponging is the main effect and that is easy to do!   I absolutely fell in love with this card and when that happens I HAVE  to make it right away!  I was done for the day, put on a video on YouTube and saw this one while I ate dinner. Normally I would plan on making it the next day, but this called to me and now that I have made it……..I LOVE it!  Thank you Esther!

If you are looking for a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, I would love it if you could choose me!  I also have a YouTube Channel, and if you check me out and like the style of cards I make, we could make a great team!

Painting with Brusho!

Hey Guys!

Today is Tuesday so that means I have a new video to offer you!!   I wanted to show how easy it is to paint with Brusho.  Brusho gives you such a vibrant color and I am now asking myself why haven’t I done this before!?

Here is the card I made:

Another great thing is that I can make my own colors!  Just mix the yellow with the blue and get a nice green…..add more of one than the other and the hue changes!  I can’t wait to see what colors I can make!

Here are the dimensions to this card:

Dapper Denim 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, 3 3/4″ x 5″
Whisper White 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
Gold Glimmer Paper 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″
Watercolor paper 3″ x 4″

I hope that this card encourages you to  try the Brusho!

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you continue to touch base with me!  I enjoy making handmade cards and I hope that I inspire you to do the same!

It’s a MAN card!!

Hey Guys!

If you’re wondering why my title sounds so weird it’s because I remember a cartoon that had the woman in it scream “It’s a MAN!”, in a very high voice, and she always scared that poor man!  LOL   My friend and I were reminiscing the other day about all our fun shows we watched growing up and this just popped in to my head when I was thinking of what Title I wanted.  ‘Manly’ cards are always a challenge for those of us that make handmade cards, for some reason the so-called ‘Girly Cards’ are much simpler to think up!  Hence the title!  LOL  So, now you KNOW just how crazy I am!

For this card I used the Truly Tailored Card from the Occasions 2018 Catalog from SU!  I got this idea from Tami White……I changed it up VERY LITTLE!!  Thanks Tami for your awesome MAN card!

Below you will see pictures of the items used for this card, just click on any picture and you will be sent to my OnLine Store!  IF you purchase from me, I will send you a handmade card as a Thank you!!

Dimensions for this card:

Thick Whisper White:
8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, 4″ x 4 3/8″, 5″ x 3 3/4″, 2 1/2″ sq

Night of Navy:
2 3/4″ sq, 5 1/4″ x 4″

Basic Gray:
4″ x 4″

Moonlit Scene made with Stamps!

Hey Guys!

I have another technique for you today on making another landscape scene!  This one is for a Moonlit water scene!  To see it done in person, you can watch me make it here!

Here is the card that I show how to make it!

I was so excited on how this card came out!  I even tackled doing a reflection!

Here are some of the cards that I show at the end that you might want to see closer!

I made this one after looking at this photo i found online:

Here’s another card I made:

 

I saw a card like this online, but couldn’t find it again.  I pretty much copied it!  I did change a little in the sky, but the rest I kept.  If you happen to see this card please let me know so I can give credit.  UPDATE: Thank you for everyone that mentioned where I saw this, Kim Jolley at stampinartfully.blogspot.com is the one that I got the idea from.  Thank you Kim!!

This is also from the same person, this is where I learned HOW to make the Scenes!  Again, if you see or know who made the original, please let me know!  I did add some Glitter & Clear Epoxy Dots to make the rain look more real!

Hope you like this post.  Check back in for my other posts!
