Hello everyone!
STAMPtember over at Simon Says Stamp is ago wrapping up.The month just seemed to fly by! Helps a little when you're b/vlog hopping, pinning, and tweeting through some awesome stamping projects. Here is a birthday card I made. I had an idea that I believe Kristina Werner used in a masking technique. Most recently I watched a video over at Connie Stewart and there is a new set from Stampin' up Christmas presents stamp set that she used to stretch into birthday cards. I thought my stamp set from Hampton art had more simple outline images for the presents. I did some simple masking to cluster the rows of presents together. The inside sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. I hope you enjoyed my card. Thanks for stamping by! Hello everyone!
Here is another card I made. Another coworker is transitioning so of course I made a card at the last minute. It follows pretty much what I had envisioned but I still think the card it a little 'flat'. Papers came from the Simon summer it. Sentiment is from lawn fawn (same one i have used on my other farewell cards) For the sail boat I die cut three copies from white cardstock and layered them up with tombow mono liquid glue. I cut three boats from pattern paper and then mixed and matched. (I thought that the boat die and the boat stamp matched up but sadly they do not. Hence the paper piecing) I felt like something was missing so I added a strip of paper at the bottom. Even though this was a masculine card I had to add some wink of stella to the clouds and waves. I put some craft foam on the back of the cards for some extra dimension. but still felt it needed something. That's when I wrapped some of the string at the bottom strip. I liked the frayed ends for extra detail. Simon's STAMPtember is wrapping up. I hope to challenge myself to create a little more before the month is over. Which leads me to ask: what are you working on your end? Halloween cards? fall/thanksgiving? dare I say Christmas/holiday cards? Have fun creating! I hope you enjoyed the card I made and thanks for stamping by! Hello everyone!
I had two cards I wanted to make last night. One is for another co-worker who is leaving. Masculine cards are still hard for me but I borrowed from my feminine layout I made of this card a few weeks back for another co-worker. I have been forcing myself to use the awesome pattern papers that come in the Simon card kits. The pattern paper came from the card kit with the sailboat stamp set and die. maybe it was June? I don't have it in front of me (mobile posting again). I went a little over board with my sharpie accents. otherwise I like this card. I love that lime green accent strip. For my anniversary card I had a couple in mind that is approaching their first year. I struggled again with layout. so of course I looked to Google for images. I found one that was more of a tone on tone card but had this yarn or string wrap around. I ended up staining some jute with momento tuxedo black and a wrapped it around my base. The base layer had some versamark stamping on it. I like that subtle stamp image coming through on the darker coloring of the paper. I punched out two hearts ("his and hers") I adhered them over the jute with glue dots. I used some scrap black paper and heat embossed a sentiment from the Simon "smile and Happy" stamp set. with both cards I used my fiskars corner rounder (which I just 'found' again) and have been using a lot in my last two card making sessions. I hope you enjoyed the cards and thanks for stamping by! Hello everyone!
Another mobile post here, this time with a few wedding cards! I was struggling with getting started with making these wedding cards. You can see I drew upon the inspiration guide for two them by Laurie Willison and Suzanne Dahlberg Once I got the creativity jump started I didn't want to stop! but at least I accomplished to make the cards I needed for the upcoming weddings I'll be attending in the next few months. Next on my list are to make a few birthday cards, baby shower card, plus a few "hello" cards... for another weekend I guess. I hope you enjoyed the cards and thanks for stamping by! |
