Birthday Kindness

 

This card is made with a hodge podge of things - scraps, different stamp sets and designer papers.  The background is Under the Tree specialty paper which you can see doesn't have to be used for Holiday things all the time.  

 

The stamp sets are Label Love and Gifts of Kindness, both stamped with Memento Black ink.

 

Supplies:

Gifts of Kindness, Label Love

 Memento Black ink

Under the Tree specialty paper

Kraft, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise card stock

Artisan label punch

 

Simple and Masculine

 

The Traveler stamp set is a great one for masculine cards and today's is another simple one.  The image is stamped in Night of Navy and I added some Maritime designer series paper and Kraft card stock.

 



 

Supplies:

Traveler, Gifts of Kindness

Maritime dsp

Real Red, Kraft and Whisper White card stock

Typeset Sympathy

I have needed several sympathy cards again lately so I thought I would make a few more to have on hand.  This one uses a piece of the Typeset specialty paper along with the Gifts of Kindness and Bloom with Hope stamp sets.

 



 

I added a strip of Flashback designer series paper to the bottom and some Lost Lagoon stitched satin ribbon to the side.

 

Supplies:

Gifts of Kindness,  Bloom with Hope

Very Vanilla, Basic Black card stock

Flashback dsp

Typeset specialty paper

Happy Mother's Day!

 

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there today!  My card today is a little different than my usual, the Wisteria Wonder piece below the Whisper White part of the card that opens is 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".  The folded piece is attached to it and measures 8 1/4" x 5 1/4"; scored at 4 1/8".  

 

The sentiment comes from the My Paper Pumpkin April kit and my flower image is from the Gifts of Kindness stamp set.  The flower is stamped onto the Whisper White first and then I stamped on the Pool Party and lined them up before I added the Pool Party to the Whisper White piece.  Lots of lots of tiny basic pearls went onto the middle flower and then I added a little piece of Crumb Cake taffeta ribbon.

 

Supplies:

Gifts of Kindness

April My Paper Pumpkin kit

Mosaic Kindness

Another thank you to those of you following my Maddiebug Designs board on Pinterest - wow, is all I can say!  over 7000 followers is truly crazy for me to think about!

 

A little different colors for the card today, orange isn't usually in my color scheme.  I ran the Pumpkin Pie card stock through the Big Shot with the Modern Mosaic folder for a little texture and then added some Basic Gray and Modern Medley designer series paper to it. 

 



 

Next, I use the On Film framelits and some Basic Black card stock for a little negative die cut piece.  The flowers and sentiment from Gifts of Kindness are stamped with Black Stazon.

 

Supplies:

Gifts of Kindness

Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Basic Gray, Very Vanilla card stock

Stazon Black ink

Modern Medley designer series paper

Very Vintage buttons

On film framelits

Modern Mosaic folder

Modern label punch

 

Live the Life

I always thought this greeting from Really Good Greetings was pretty versatile and have used it quite a bit.  For this card, I paired it with the flower image from Gifts of Kindness and some framelit pieces from Deco label framelits and Apothecary accents framelits.

 



 

While this is the last day of Sale-a-bration, I know I will continue to use the Decorative Dots folder for a long time - I think it is my favorite Sale-a-bration item this time around!  You can still earn one if you shop today!!

 

Scalloped Tag Topper Card

 

There are some great tutorials around for creating a card like this with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch so I thought I needed to try it out :)  

 

I chose to use Coastal Cabana as my card base and did some random stamping with the flower in the Gifts of Kindness stamp set. 

 

The sentiment comes from People Like You and was punched out with the Decorative Label punch. 

 

I really like the style of this card and you will probably be seeing a few more before too long!

 

Supplies:

Gifts of Kindness

People Like You

Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe card stock

Caked Brown Sugar, Crisp Cantaloupe ink

Soft Suede taffeta ribbon

Modern Medley Sympathy

More of the sheet music portion of the Modern Medley dsp for you today!  This time on a sympathy card using the Gifts of Kindness and Love and Sympathy stamp sets. 

 

 

I used Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Pistachio Pudding and Very Vanilla card stock and Pistachio Pudding and Baked Brown Sugar ink to complete the card.

File Folder Card

 

Today I have another file folder card to share with you, this time instead of keeping my layer of dsp in a rectangle shape, I made the file folder shape in a smaller size than the card base.  

 

I used the image from Gifts of Kindness behind my sentiment and the From my Heart set for the sentiment.

 

Supplies:

Envelope Punch Board

Gifts of Kindness

From My Heart

Gingham Garden dsp

Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight and White Craft ink

Whisper White, Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight card stock

 

Grace and Kindness

I have another card made from leftover scraps, this time the scraps are some 1" strips that were left after I cut designer series paper for convention swaps.  



 

I used the Gifts of Kindness stamp set and the Etcetera designer series paper (love the color combinations in this set!!).  My ink colors were Baked Brown Sugar and Old Olive and card stocks colors were Pool Party, Very Vanilla, Baked Brown Sugar and Calypso Coral.  Finally, I added a few basic pearls to complete the card.
