Peaceful Evergreens - Joy & Love To You

Hello stampers,

Another late post because my PC started acting up again, I hope to figure out why it is really is acting sluggish 1 minute & fine the next, I thought I found the problem but last night proved me wrong. Today's card was made using a card sketch from Jackie Bolhuis.

I started with a Basic White Cardstock base, then used 2 different papers from the Take A Bow DSP as a background layer. Next, I used the Peaceful Evergreens Stamp Set to stamp the trees using Granny Apple Green Cardstock with Garden Green Ink, before die-cutting them with the Peaceful Evergreen Dies. I used the Peaceful Season Stamp Set for the sentiment, stamping with Garden Green Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, then punching the ends with the retired Banners Pick A Punch. To assemble, I glued the 2 smaller trees directly to the card base, popped up the biggest tree using Stampin' Dimensionals before gluing the sentiment to the biggest tree. I finished the card by adding a few Iridescent Discs.

MMS101424 - Celebrating You

Hello stampers,

Today's card was made for this week's Mystery Monday Stamping by Sharon Armstrong. Still trying to ease myself back into a crafty mood.

For this card, I used Bubble Bath, Wild Wheat & Basic White Cardstock, with the Poetic Expressions DSP. For the sentiment, I used the Adoring Hearts Stamp Set with Bubble Bath Ink. To finish the card, I added a few Rainbow Dots in the Bubble Bath color.

Humble Home - From Our Home To Your

Hello stampers,

It's been a bit of a rough & hectic few weeks that I haven't even attempted to do any type of stamping. How bad is that? EEK! I have managed to clean some of my craft room & add 1 out of 2 pieces of an island desk, still trying to work on the 2nd & how it will fit where I want them to go. I did measure but just 1 part seems bigger than I had anticipated! On top of that my PC has been extremely slow, the last week or so & I think I have figured out the culprit I just need to find a bit of time to work on that part. But for now as I'm writing this post it seems to be doing a tad better. 

I thought I'd start on Christmas ideas for today's card using the Humble Home Bundle. I stamped the house from the set using Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock then colored it in using Crumb Cake, Real Red, Daffodil Delight & Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Combo Packs, before punching it out with the Humble Home Builder Punch. I used Stylish Shape Dies to die-cut a circle, then embossed it using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder & used a Sponge Dauber to add a bit of Craft White Ink to the embossed parts. I also used one of the banner dies from Stylish Shapes to die-cut the sentiment from the Peaceful Season Stamp Set. For the background, I used 3 different sheets of Take A Bow DSP that I had attached to a piece of Basic White Cardstock, before adding this to a Crumb Cake Cardstock base. I added the focal point & sentiment to make it look a little like a snow globe which was then attached using Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish the card, I added a few Crumb Cake Earth Tone Shimmer Gems.

     

Paper Measurements-

• Crumb Cake Cardstock:
  • Base - 8 1/2 x 5 1/2
  • Circle - 2 6/8 x 2 6/8
  • Sentiment - 2 3/4 x 5/8
• Basic White Cardstock:
  • Layer - 4 x 5 1/4
  • House- 2 1/4 x 2 1/4

Layers Of Beauty- Happy For You & Joy To My Heart

Hello stampers,

My world has become extremely busy & I'm losing my focus on everything, but I keep reminding myself of Dori's saying- "Keep swimming, just keep swimming!"

I saw a reel on FB that made a card I believe with the same set that I am using today but made hers different. What this person & I'm sorry I don't even remember who did the reel used a full sheet of Basic White Cardstock & without cutting divided the piece with a light pencil before stamping down the middle & across to make for card fronts.

Autumn Leave - Autumn Teaches

Hello stampers,

Sorry I've been MIA for the last week, I had lots of things going on & just never made it into my stamp room. Yesterday, was the 1st day of Autumn, so I chose to make a fall themed card.

I started with a Basic White Cardstock square, where I stamped the largest leaf from the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set using Crushed Curry Ink, then stamped a sentiment from the set using Blackberry Bliss Ink. The focal point was then added to a layer of Blackberry Bliss Cardstock. I embossed a layer of Crushed Curry Cardstock using the new Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder, then added it to a Basic White Cardstock base. I added a few Stampin' Dimensionals to the focal point and then added to the card base. Lastly, I added a few Basic Pearls that I had colored using Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends Combo Packs.

     

Paper Measurements-

• Basic White Cardstock:
  • Base - 8 1/2 x 5 1/2
  • Layer - 3 x 3
• Crushed Curry Cardstock:
  • Layer - 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
• Blackberry Bliss Cardstock:

MMS090924- I Like You

Hello stampers,

Today's card was made using the tutorial for Mystery Monday Stamping by Sharon Armstrong which used the Faux Tile Technique.

I started with a layer of Basic White Cardstock, then used several of the stamps in the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set with Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Lost Lagoon & Soft Sea Foam Ink Pads, before I scored the layer. Next, I stamped one of the sentiments from the set using Flirty Flamingo Ink on Basic White Cardstock, cut it down & glued it to a strip of Hello, Irresistible DSP then onto the focal image. This layer was then popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals before being added to a BasicWhite Cardstock base. Lastly, I added a few Ombre Dots as embellishments.

     

Paper Measurements-

• Basic White Cardstock:
  • Base - 8 1/2 x 5 1/2

  • Sentiment - 2 1/4 x 1/2

Autumn Expressions - Have A Perfectly Lovely Day

Hello stampers,

I fell back to fall mode for today's card, we are currently in the mid-90s for the next few days & then we drop down to the 70's & 80's, could fall finally be here? Hopefully, the cooler weather will help the firemen on the front lines of several fires south of me gain some ground & get the fires put out. It's been a bad few days for my asthma as the winds have brought the smoke up to our area. 

I started my card with a Basic White Cardstock layer, then used the Autumn Expressions Stamp Set to stamp the leaf & sentiment using Memento Black Ink. Next, I colored the leaves with Old Olive, Wild Wheat, Blackberry Bliss & Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. Once I was done I chose to layer this focal layer onto Pumpkin Pie & Blackberry Bliss Cardstock, as they were the colors least used on the leaves. I used a few retired Regal Dots in the Blackberry Bliss color to finish the card.

• Blackberry Bliss Cardstock:
  • Base - 8 1/2 x 5 1/2
• Pumpkin Pie Cardstock:
  • Layer - 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
