Painted with Love Stroller

I was asked to make a baby card recently and it needed to incorporate a little tiny plastic baby that had been a bit of a joke around their workplace.  It may have come in a Mardi Gras cake of some kind...I have not added it to this photo, but it fit inside the stroller after I popped it up with Stampin' dimensionals.

The Painted with Love specialty paper is a favorite of mine and I actually put together quite a few of these cards (minus the plastic baby) to have on hand.  I actually did a few in baby boy colors as well using some Naturally Eclectic designer series paper that I didn't take pictures of this time around.

The Baby First stamp set and framelits are retired, but I still love playing around with them!

Blissful Bride

When I was putting together some bridal shower cards, I decided to use the wedding cake design from the Sweet Soire specialty paper collection (Occasions catalog).  I really love the designs in this collection and decided to pair the paper with a retired stamp set called Blissful Bride.  There will be some really awesome options for bridal shower images in the new catalog so I am excited about that too!

I added basic rhinestones to the dress and a few more on the sentiment layer, the sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.

Supplies:

Blissful Bride, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Basic Black ink

So Saffron, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White card stock

Get Well Wishes

The Get Well card I have to show you today is probably the first one in quite awhile that doesn't use any Sale-a-bration items (current or retired)!  I chose to used some Fresh Florals designer series paper and one of my favorite sentiment stamp sets - Teeny Tiny Wishes.

The sentiment and leaves are stamped on a piece of Whisper White card stock that is die cut with the Stitched Shapes framelits and I added a few images on the Basic Gray card base using Basic Gray ink.

Supplies:

Teeny Tiny Wishes, Oh So Eclectic

Pear Pizzazz, Basic Gray ink

Little Duckies

 

This is a pretty quick card to put together but I thought it was kind of cute with the little ducks in a row.  I used the Something for Baby stamp set along with the Little Sunshine and Teeny Tiny Wishes sets.  

 

A little bit of taffeta ribbon on a heart clip and it is complete!

Anniversary Love

 

I have a fun Anniversary card to share with you today that uses several stamp sets and a few stamps from the January Paper Pumpkin kit as well.

 

In the background, I used an image from Snuggles and Smooches as well as from Work of Art.



 

The stamps on the Note Tag Punched piece are from the January Paper Pumpkin kit (the kit came in really handy for Valentine's Day at school!).

Anniversary Cards

 

Today I have a couple different anniversary cards to share with you.  The first one uses some Silver Fancy Foil Vellum, a tag leftover from a Paper Pumpkin kit and an image from Draw the Line.

 

I added some small hearts to each card and both sentiments are from teeny tiny wishes.

 

Next, I used the negative of a labels collection framelit in silver glimmer as my starting point.  I added some Silver Fancy Foil vellum behind it and added it to a piece of Lost Lagoon card stock.

 

Supplies:

Teeny Tiny Wishes, Draw the line

Whisper White, Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate, Raspberry Ripple card stock

Smoky Slate, Craft white ink

small heart punch

modern label punch

Silver Glimmer paper

Just for You

 

This is a really simple card that uses a lot of embossing to give it more of a wow factor.  The bottom layer of Whisper White is embossed with the Framed Tulips folder and the top layer with the Flower Garden folder.

 

 

I sponged a little bit of Wild Wasabi on the flower embossing, but it doesn't show too well in the photo.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and I made the modern label punch smaller by only punching one side, moving it over and punching the other one.

 

The base and ribbon color is Pretty in Pink.

Simple Thinking of You

 

These cards came about from scraps and leftovers from some stamp a stack cards.  I actually made a few more variations than these, but they are all fairly similar.

 

 

The top one uses Pool Party and the Summer Afternoon stamp set while the one below uses the Take a Seat set. 

 

The sentiment on both cards is from Teeny Tiny wishes and each has a strip of Naturals composition specialty paper as well.

TSSC250

 

I found time to play along with Mary Jo's sketch challenge again, hopefully I can make it a consistent thing again!

 

 

I used the Heart a Flutter, Teeny Tiny Wishes and Affection Collection stamp sets and some More Amore specialty paper.

 

The scalloped circle is die cut from the Perfect Pennants die and the strip of dsp along the bottom is cut from the Petal Cone die.  The circle is from the 1 3/4" circle punch.

 

I made mine into an anniversary card since I need one today - 15 years for my husband and I!  Originally I was planning to use Primrose Petals as my card base color, but thought Basic Gray might be a little bit more masculine :)

Gingerbread Baking

 

I have seen some cute cards that have a baking sheet out of card stock with some gingerbread men on top and thought I would try some with leftover metal sheets I had from another project.

 

 

The gingerbread men are embossed with Early Espresso embossing powder and I added some basic pearls for their buttons.

 

I used the Be of Good Cheer designer series paper, some Cherry Cobbler seam binding and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Musical Ornament card

 

When I made this card, I wasn't quite sure the direction I was headed and truthfully I feel like there is still something missing. 

 

 

I used the Music notes wheel and some designer series paper from the Festival of Prints stack.  There are three ornaments that have been folded and glued together to form a 3d ornament and I used some retired ribbon as my hanger.

 

The sentiment comes from Teen Tiny Wishes.

 

Serene Mosaic

 

Our Late Night Stamper challenge this week is to use mosaic on our projects.  I chose to do a card with a technique I have used before, but it has been a long time. 

 

 

I took some leftover Sticky Sheets that I had and cut a strip to 1 1/2" x 5 1/4".  Then I randomly cut up some pieces of Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Naturals composition paper (I used the back side) and placed them on the sticky sheet leaving space between them.

 

After I had enough pieces on the sticky sheet, I covered the rest with Early Espresso embossing powder and used my heat tool to set it.  Very easy to do and I like the way it turned out on this card. 

 

Supplies:

Teeny Tiny Wishes

Serene Silhouettes

Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Early Espresso card stock

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.

Scentsational Cup

 

The stamps in the Scentsational Season set do not always need to be used for Christmas cards.  For this one, I created a Thinking of you one (sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes) using the coffee mug and steam stamps.

 

 

The designer paper is from the Festival of Prints dsp pack (love this!) and I added a label collection framelit in Night of Navy that I embossed with the Vintage wallpaper folder.

 

The base of the card is Very Vanilla and I used Cherry Cobbler and Soft Suede classic ink.

 

Thinking of you

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.

Supplies:

Bordering on Romance, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Thoughts and Prayers

I was just kind of messing around with this card trying out the new Chevron Folder.  What I did was use a circle larger than the one I attached to the card stock and put it over the circle off center and then used my white gel pen to make some marks.

Last weekend I took the kids to the cabin and as I usually do, I took some things along to stamp for after they go to bed or if it is raining, etc.  This time when I packed, I only took scraps so I forced myself to make a dent in the pile that has accumulated!  These are a couple of cards that came out of the scrap pile.
