Hey crafty friends!

I had so much fun making this card. When I saw the large floral stamp in the Layers of Beauty set, I just had to use it as a background.

I made a card base with Basic white Cardstock by cutting it in half, folding it in half and burnishing with a bone folder.

Before stamping the card, I used the Embossing Buddy (from the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) to remove any static from the card. Then I stamped the florals from Layers of Beauty on the top and bottom of the card front with versamark ink.

The Embossing Additions Tool Kit also has a nifty tray to keep the excess powder from making a mess. I used the tray to pour gold embossing powder (from the Metallics Embossing Powder set). Finally I used the Heat Tool to set the powder.

The paper strip is from Unbounded Beauty and the sentiment is an old stamp from my stash (also heat embossed).

Now let me be honest with you all. . .the entire reason I made this card was because I was too lazy to color the floral image. I thought the flowers would stand out and be pretty enough without colors if I embossed them! I think it worked

During June, you can get an extra 10% off stamp and die or stamp and punch bundles. This means 20% off when you buy the stamp with the cutters! And you will need a cutting machine. It’s on sale too! You can get the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine for 10% off!

If you’re in the US and don’t already have a consultant, I would love to be your person! I’ll send you a bit of bling if for shopping with my hostess code (see the top of my page)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Stamping!

Card Inspiration Thank You

This thank you card was a lot of fun to make and it stands up for display. I used Cherish paper, which is still available as bulk sheets and the digital file to cut the flower. The file is no longer available, but you could use the stamp set to create a flower accent.

We had so much fun creating together. I sent pre-cut kits to everyone so we could stamp and assemble together (in a virtual crop). It’s so much fun to create together!

And I modified a few of the cards to use the awesome Seasonal Haul Stamp set. Aren’t these just adorable! I LOVE this stamp set.

These cards feature the Crisp Air papers as well as the Fall Seasonal Papers. They also use the Crisp Air cardmaking stamp set and (optionally) the Seasonal Haul Stamp Set.

I had lots of fun with this card. It uses a design from Make it From Your heart Volume 4. These books are the best – they are full of great ideas and some beautifully designed cards.

The bottle from the Message in a Bottle Stamp of the Month looks beautiful with gold sparkle! I stamped the image with VersaMark and then added Gold embossing powder and used my Heat Tool to heat-set it. I stamped the heart and thank you in Glacier. I also stamped over the glacier with VersaMark, so I could add clear embossing powder for some extra sparkle.

I used the Stitched Fancy Brackets Thin Cuts to cut out the white with the sentiment and the mink frame. I love these versatile thin cuts – they’re so much fun!

I’d love it if you could leave a comment before hopping on to Brandi R’s Crzy4scrapbooking Blog!

Card Inspiration Masculine Thank You

When I saw this beautiful stamp from the Sweet As Honey collection, I knew I had to do the Triple Stamp Technique. I had only used it for random stamping in the past, but it worked really well with this large image.

I added a bit of color to the edges by sponging the Marmalade Distress Oxide. I’m entering this card in the Heart 2 Heart “Sponge It” Challenge. I hope you will join me!

I love how this turned out. It looks so much more difficult than it is!

Stamping Tip: To get the three layers, cut three white pieces in decreasing sizes, and use a small dot of glue on each layer to temporarily hold them together. You can then stamp the image on all pieces at the same time. There will be a bit of white space on the edges, but it will be covered by each mat.

After stamping, gently separate the layers and add a thin mat to each one. You can now attach them all together – be sure to line up the image!

I used the Sweet as Honey Cardmaking Stamp set, charcoal paper, and Spiced Marmalade Distressed Oxide (for the edge of the card and a few of the sunflowers.

I hope you like the card and feel inspired to create.

Happy Stamping,

This card turned out so cute! I love that the easel card looks a bit fancy, but it’s still quick to put together. I just used a regular card base (8.5X5.5 folded in half) of Smoothie Cardstock. Then I made another score at 6 inches. This gave me two front “panels,” which will make the easel card work. I added pattern paper from Happiness lives here and matted it with Blue Belle Cardstock for each “panel” on the front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Every Thank You Stamp of the month on White Daisy Cardstock using Blue Belle Ink. I used the medium Stitched Bracket to cut the sentiment and the largest one to cut the mat from Smoothie. I then glued only the bottom half of the sentiment to the bottom part of the front. This will allow it to “pop up” when the card is opened as an easel.

Finally, since part of the inside of the card would be displayed, I had to decorate it too. I stamped the flowers from the Happiness Lives Here Cardmaking stamp along the bottom of a white card insert. I added a flower sticker, from the sticker sheet that comes in the Happiness Lives Here pack, to act as a “stopper” for my easel when it’s open. I used an embossing buddy to remove the stickiness from the sticker then popped it up with 3D Foam Tape.

I hope you enjoyed your visit. I’d love for you to leave a comment before you “Hop” on over to Melissa’s blog and check out her work.

Card Inspiration Thank You

Welcome to the December Stamp of the Month blog hop. We have over 20 fabulous consultants who are excited to inspire you using the “Happiness Never Grows Old” December Stamp of the month. This awesome stamp will only be available until December 31st. You can get it for just $5 with a purchase of $50. After you see all of the lovely work in this hop, you won’t be able to resist this stamp!

If you are coming from Brenda’s blog you are on the right path. This blog is a big circle and you will be able to hop on from each page. If you get lost, there is a full list of all participants on Melinda’s blog.

Let’s have some fun!

This card was so quick to put together. And the Happiness Never Grows Old stamp set has lots of beautiful images to make for many great options. I used a card sketch from Make it From Your Heart Vol. 2. I talk about these books often, but it’s because they are really awesome. I use them whenever I need a bit of inspiration.

Now on to the card. . . I picked a few sheets from the Holiday Stack and cut them according to the measurements in the sketch. I did adjust the size of the white (sentiment piece) and it’s mat, because I knew I wanted to use the “a thankful heart grows year round” stamp. I also used a scrap of peach paper, so I could have a colorful flower without actually coloring it.

I stamped the sentiment and small flower from the December Stamp of the Month using Peach Ink. The Sentiment is on White Daisy and the small flower is on the lighter side of a scrap of Peach Paper. I added a bit of shimmer to the flower by going over the stamped lines with a Peach Shimmer Brush.

Finally, I cut out the flower (with Non-Stick Micro-Tip Scissors) and glued it next to the sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed your visit. I’d love for you to leave a comment before you “Hop” on over to Kathy’s blog and check out her work.

Happy hopping!
