Get Well Wishes

Last week I made a few get well cards to have on hand and also to complete an order.  This is one that I came up with using the French Foliage Stamp set.

 

 

I had a piece of card stock that I had already cut out a window frame framelit from and used it for my mask.  The inside of the cutout was sponged with Crumb Cake and then I stamped some leaves and raindrops with More Mustard, Cajun Craze and Crumb Cake.

 

The background layer and ink color is Always Artichoke.

Clear Block Stamping

Today' card share is another one from my Stamp A Stack this week.  I just love block stamping and especially with this stamp set. 

We used Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand, Cajun Craze and More Mustard for the ink colors.  The stamp sets were French Foliage and Curly Cute.

Little Bit of Good

I forgot about sharing this card with you - it was also an Artisan Award entry card.  I used clear block stamping and the French Foliage and Pursuit of Happiness stamp sets.

I went with Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand and Early Espresso for my colors.

Nature's Pace

I am already loving the new in color called Midnight Muse!  On this card, I used it with Wild Wasabi, Early Espresso, Marina Mist and Wisteria Wonder. 

You only have a couple days left to purchase the lace ribbon border punch if it is something you have been eyeing.  It is on the retiring list and you can go here to purchase it.

On the Midnight Muse layer, I added some stamping with the French Foliage Stamp set and the sentiment is from Nature's Pace.

Pinterest challenge

At Late Night Stampers this week, we are supposed to CASE a card we have seen on Pinterest.  The card below is the one I cased and I think I should have left it the same colors instead of trying to change it a little!

I used French Foliage and Loving Thoughts for my stamp sets and changed the colors a little bit to Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze and Pear Pizzazz.

Falling leaves

Our challenge at Late Night Stampers this week is Thanksgiving themed projects - cards, home decor, thank you gifts, etc. 

I made 4 single layer cards (well two of them have a sentiment layer) using the French Foliage stamp set and added a belly band around the cards and envelopes.

I added some clear block stamping behind the leaves to add some color, but I didn't want to make the impression solid because I was going for the weathered look.

Supplies:

French Foliage

Cajun Craze, Sahara Sand, Soft Suede and More Mustard classic ink

Ordinary Days

We are using a fall theme at Late Night Stampers this week and I just put together some super quick cards with the French Foliage stamp set.

The sentiment is one that I had made with a text only stamp and it says, "In every ordinary day there are a thousand miracles."

Supplies:

French Foliage

Confetti White, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip card stock

Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake classic ink

Deck the halls fabric

vintage trinkets

Very Vanilla seam binding

You're on my mind

I decided to finally participate in the So Shelli Creative challenge after watching it for several months.  This month is a thinking of you challenge. 

I combined the stamp sets French Foliage and Field Fowers along with Marina Mist, Wisteria Wonder, Wild Wasabi, Perfect Plum and Bashful Blue when I put this card together. 

I stamped the first layer with the word stamp in French Foliage on the left edge and then the stamp that looks like raindrops over the whole piece. 

On the Very Vanilla, I added Champagne Shimmer paint with some scrunched up saran wrap for a faux mother of pearl look before I stamped on it.  There are also faint raindrops over the flower image.  The flower is stamped with Wisteria Wonder and then the detail part over the top is stamped with Perfect Plum.  I added a little So Saffron with a sponge in the middle of the flowers as well.

My sentiment comes from the Word Play stamp set and is stamped on more of the faux mother of pearl card stock.  I also added a retired button and cut the side of a piece of Vanilla seam binding to use for a bow inside of it.

Another fun sketch from Create with Connie and Mary this week! 

I used the French Foliage and Creative Elements stamp sets (and Tiny Tags for the "friends" tag) on this card.  On the Very Vanilla cardstock, I used the faux mother of pearl technique although the picture doesn't show it well.  I also scored around the edges of the base at 1/4" on each side.

French Foliage, Creative Elements, Tiny Tags stamp sets

Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede card stock

Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Cherry Cobbler classic ink

Poinsettia

This card is a CASE of one done by Lynn Pratt , I changed a few things, but the basics are the same.  The poinsettia is made with leaves stamped from the French Foliage stamp set and cut out.

Prayer Journals

I have been making some Prayer Journals for the young adults that are confirmed in my church for the past couple years.  This year there is only two and I finally decided to make an extra one so I had a sample for myself! 

I covered some cardboard that comes with the Specialty papers with the Autumn Spice Specialty paper by wrapping it around the front and then adding another piece to cover the seams on the inside. 

Each page has something on it - a prayer, quote, Bible verse, stamped saying or image, but I left a lot of open space for them to add their thoughts, prayers, favorite verses, etc.  The theme this year was inspired by project on Create with Connie and Mary Holiday edition.

 In the decorating, I also used the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die.

French Foliage

I was playing with the French Foliage stamp set and thought I would share a couple cards I made with it.  The colors on each are similar - Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Old Olive, More Mustard, Cajun Craze and Very Vanilla.  The bottom card also uses Early Espresso.

 This one turned into a quick and easy one layer card and then I just added a little bit of mustard ribbon and a vintage trinket.
