Cork and Blackberry Birthday

There are a lot of different elements going on in this card - dies, specialty paper, designer series paper and some different stamp sets. 

The background starts with some Blackberry Beauty designer series paper with a piece of Cork sheet and a strip of Be Dazzling specialty paper added on top.  Next, comes the die cut flowers that were colored in with In Color markers and finally the sentiment which comes from the Sweet as a Peach stamp set and is on a die cut from the Picture This dies.

Stellar Birthday

Potato harvest starts today so my posts will probably be few and far between in the next couple weeks, but I will do my best to keep sending out a few ideas...

The background of this card is a design in the Whimsy and Wonder specialty paper and although it is a holiday themed collection there are a few patterns that can be used for just about anything.

The little astronaut and coordinating stamps are part of the set called Stellar Birthday and I used some Stampin' Write markers to color in her image. The die cut for the sentiment was made using the Tasteful Labels dies and the one the little girl is stamped on was made with the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

Supplies:

Stellar Birthday

Basic Gray, Memento Black ink

Stampin' Write markers

Basic White, Smoky Slate, Polished Pink card stock

Beauty of the Season

These are some quick and easy cards put together using the Whimsey and Wonder specialty paper and the Evergreen Elegance stamp set.

I always like to use holiday paper that adds non traditional colors, in this collection I especially love the addition of pinks to the mix.  That is why I used the Polished Pink card stock to mat the larger piece of designer series paper in the background.  

The sentiment is stamped on some die cuts made with the Stitched So Sweetly dies and I tried out two different sizes.

September Stamp Club

I decided to use the super cute Gingerbread and Peppermint Memories and More Card Pack for our scrapbook layout this month adding the cookie recipe card to the pages.

I also used some of the Gingerbread and Peppermint designer series paper in the background of the layouts leaving the 6" x 6" pieces uncut.

Our first card showcases the Sale-a-bration stamp set called Delicate Dahlias and we used Soft Sea Foam, Mint Macaron, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape for our colors.

On the last project, we used the Whimsey and Wonder specialty paper along with a Wonderful snowflake and the Thinking Thanks and Peace stamp set.  There are also a few Pastel Pearls added around the card and we used the Wink of Stella glitter brush for the inside of the bird.

We always welcome new members near and far - contact me to learn more.
