Pedal to the Metal

Here are a few different masculine birthday cards all using the Pedal to the Metal stamp set.  I have stamped each of the vehicles with Memento Black ink and colored them all in with Stampin' Blends.

Each one has a die cut piece or two from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies as well as a Stitched Rectangle die cut and a couple also use the Beautiful Boughs die set.

The last card uses some Silver Foil paper and the Coastal Weave embossing folder in the background.

Celebrate You

As promised, here is another version of my graduation card stock up.  Again, I used the stars framelits and Scattered Sequins dynamic impressions folder.  This time around I chose to use the Celebrate you thinlits for my words and added some Bubbles and Fizz designer series paper (SAB 2018).

For these cards, I chose to use a lighter background and embossed some Lemon Lime Twist card stock.

Supplies:

Lemon Lime Twist, Fresh Fig, Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White card stock

I decided to try to get ahead of the game and get some graduation cards ready to go since that will be around before I know it and I am sure we will be busy planting potatoes!  Playing around with the Stars framelits, I put together a few different cards and I will share another with you tomorrow.

For this one, I embossed some Night of Navy card stock with the Scattered Sequins dynamic impressions folder and then layered some die cut stars with dimensionals.  The congrats is die cut using the Sunshine Wishes thinlits and Silver foil paper.  

Supplies:

Night of Navy, Fresh Fig, Basic Gray, Whisper White card stock

Bethlehem Star

Start shopping here!

I was playing with the Bethlehem edgelits dies again!  This time I used some Wood textures designer series paper behind the buildings as the background.  This time I used Tranquil Tide as my card base color and added a sentiment from Star of Light to the inside with Tranquil Tide ink.

I have to say, this is one edgelits set you will want to have the Big Shot Die brush for...

Big Shot Die Brush - New Configuration 144262 Price: $12.50 Enjoy this new configuration! * Die Brush. * Easily removes small cut pieces from dies. * Includes brush and 2 foam pads. * Brush:1-1/2" x 5-1/2" ( 3.8 cm x 14 cm). * Foam pads: 4-1/2" x 7" (11.4 x 17.8 cm) each.

It makes removing all the those tiny windows so much easier!

This is another layout that comes a year or so after the fact, LOL!  I tried to tie in the team colors and used some Silver foil sheets, Project Life pieces and Color me irresistible specialty paper.

 

There is nothing fancy about the layout or the elements, but I do like the way it turned out.

 

Supplies:

Basic Black, Smoky Slate, Whisper White card stock

Project life cards and stickers

hodgepodge clips

Real Nice

Birthday is the theme again today using the Balloon Bash stamp set from the Occasions catalog.  It is a simple card that combines the Birthday Bash designer series paper and some Silver Foil Sheet scraps.

 

 

This is another large image and it takes up a lot of the space on the card so I thought I would angle it instead of place on straight.

 

Supplies:

Balloon Bash

Mossy Meadow ink

Whisper White, Early Espresso card stock

Silver foil sheets

Birthday Bash specialty paper

 

Junior High

 

Another first day of school page - my oldest started Junior High this year!  Again, this was a premade ready to add pictures page so it was quick for me to get completed. 

 

Christmas paper doesn't need to be for Christmas projects only :)  Again, I have used some Project Life stickers for the title, quick and easy.

 

Supplies:

Draw the Line

Pear Pizzazz ink

Lost Lagoon, Pear Pizzazz, Smoky Slate card stock

All is Calm specialty paper

Silver designer buttons

Project Life stickers

Silver Foil sheets

Silver and Gray

 

This card is another example of using My Digital Studio and the Love Story Project Life collection.  After I printed the dress and hearts image, I stamped the sentiment and matted it on Smoky Slate card stock.  

 

The background is All is Calm specialty paper and a strip of Silver Foil Sheets.

 

Supplies:

Teeny Tiny Wishes

Lost Lagoon ink

Whisper White, Smoky Slate card stock

Silver foil sheets

My Digital Studio

Love Story Project Life Collection

Calm Christmas

 

I realize when it is 90 degrees outside it is hard to think about Christmas!  I always try to have some cards made early and maybe you would like to as well with my Christmas card kits. 

 

This card isn't a kit card, but I have used some Silver Foil along with the Festive Flurry stamp set and framelits.

 

Supplies:

Festive Flurry

Calm Christmas

Pool Party, Island Indigo, Whisper White and Silver Foil card stock

Pool Party and Island Indigo classic ink

Festive Flurry framelits

 

 

a Merry Little Christmas

 

I had a little time to play with my Festive Flurry bundle (133285) and thought I would add a non traditional Christmas color to this card.  In addition to the Winter Frost Specialty paper, I added some Strawberry Slush card stock that was embossed with the Stylish Stripes folder (132174).

 

 

Then, I added a snowflake cut from the Silver Foil Sheets (132178), a stamped and die cut smaller snowflake and finally on top, a Frosted Finished Embellishment (132150).

 

 

My sentiment comes from Merry Little Christmas (131829) which is also the stamp set I am featuring in my Christmas Card kits for August.
