Countryside Hello

I have not used the Countryside Inn designer series paper in awhile and I thought I would put together a few cards using some of it. I paired it with an embossed piece of Balmy Blue card stock (the embossing folder is the retired Argyle folder).

The sentiment is from the Free Sale-a-bration set called Heartfelt Hellos and I stamped it with Night of Navy ink.

Supplies:

Argyle Thank You

 

This card came out of leftovers I had die cut and embossed for some Stamp A Stacks or Club projects.  I always end up with a few extra and put them in a box to use later on other projects.  It sometimes helps to get a card together quickly.

 

 

The Argyle embossed background is Early Espresso and the green layer is Certainly Celery.  I added a stamp from the Bordering on Romance set to a 3" circle and colored it in with Primrose Petals, Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery.  There is a little bit of dazzling details in the center of each flower for a little shimmer.

 

The sentiment is from the You are loved stamp set.

 

Razzleberry Thinking of You

This card came together quickly using some scraps laying on my table that I had left over from some other cards.

 

 

I embossed some Rich Razzleberry with the Argyle folder and then cut off the edge with the Large Scallop edgelit.  The sentiment is from Sassy Salutations and the image is from Serene Silhouettes.  My color combination for this card is Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Old Olive and Baja Breeze.

Bordering on Romance

 

Another sample in the theme of the Late Night Stampers challenge this week - Color My World.  I used markers to color in the image on this one, using Pink Pirouette, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Bashful Blue and Pretty in Pink.

 

 

The background is stamped with Soft Suede as is the sentiment and the main image. 

 

I added a button with linen thread over the doily that is layered on Soft Suede.

Little Bit of Good

 

I tried out the Woodgrain folder on Whisper White for this card and I like the way it turned out.  There is a white on white layer for the base and then I added some Polka Dot Parade dsp and Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight. 

 

 

The Argyle folder was used on on the Rich Razzleberry after I used the Large Scallop edgelit on the card stock.

 

I used the Fancy Fan folder on the Apothecary accent label in Tempting Turquoise and added some Turquoise glitter brads as well.

July Stamp Club Projects

These are the projects we made for this month's stamp club.  I used the Reason to Smile stamp set on this one along with the Argyle folder and some Subtles designer paper stack paper.

This card was CASED from one in our Stampin' Success magazine - super cute and easy to put together.

I continued with the Subtles designer series paper stack on the layout and added some of the elegant butterflies that I punched out.

"Create" Skinny Notebook

A long time ago I bought some notebooks and had the stores cut them in three the long way for me but I haven't really used them (gasp!).  This notebook holder is really quick and easy to put together and even has a spot for a pen.

I used the Patio Party designer series paper and the Apothecary Accents framelits. 

The sentiment is from Loving Thoughts and I added some cute in color dahlias to the circles as well.

Don't you just love that ribbon?!

Textures

Embossing folders are some of my favorite tools to use for cards and we have a few new ones in the catalog that are larger than the ones we have previously had available.  The new size (6 3/8" x 4 1/4" is awesome for use on scrapbook pages as well as cards. 

One difference with the larger folders is that they cannot go through the Big Shot sideways, but there are lots of ways around that and personally I do not use them that direction very often anyway.  If you have questions about how to adjust their use, e-mail me and I will be happy to help.

The first layer in these cards is one of the new In Colors called Primrose Petals and it coordinates well with Old Olive and Baja Breeze.  The top card uses the Argyle Folder and the bottom one uses the Chevron folder; they both have Perfect Polka Dots used for the Old Olive layer.
