Bubble Wrap Background

Recently at a retreat, one of the participants gave us each the Stress relief item in the bottom picture.  I decided to play with it a different way and inked it up and used it for a background on a card.

The ink I used on the bubble wrap was Berry Burst and I used some of the free gift we received in the March Paper Pumpkin kit for accents after coloring them with the Stampin' Blends markers.  The sentiment is from Suite Sayings which is one of my favorites and is retired.

Supplies:

Suite Sayings

Pool Party, Berry Burst ink

Stampin' Blends

Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White card stock

Communion Cross

This is another card I made for some First Communion participants at my church a little while back.  I wanted to make them fairly simple since they were for boys so I used a Night of Navy background that was embossed with the Softly Falling folder to start with.

Then, I cut out a circle with the Stitched shapes framelits and two crosses with the Cross of Hope framelits.  The background cross is cut from Wood Textures designer series paper and the top one is cut from Gold foil sheets.  My sentiments come from the Inspired Events stamp set.

Supplies:

Inspired Events

Striped Meadow

As promised earlier this week, here is another card made with the same Brusho Crystals colors as Monday's card.  This time I chose the In the Meadow stamp set for the image over the top of the altered paper.

I added some Pear Pizzazz card stock that was embossed with the Stripes folder and a True gentleman button for some texture.

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!

Supplies:

Baby's Firsts, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Soft Suede ink

Whisper White, Powder Pink, Melon Mambo card stock

2017-2019 On Color Bitty  Bows

Duet Banner punch

Wings and Sequins

It seems I am making more cards lately that don't have sentiments and today's sample is another of those.  My Watercolor Wings stamp set was collecting dust on the shelves so I decided to make a few cards with it and after playing around with a few color combinations, this is what I decided to stick with.

The ink colors are Berry Burst, Powder Pink, Peekaboo Peach, Wild Wasabi and Rich Razzleberry and I decided to add some Tutti-Fruitti adhesive backed sequins for some accents.

Supplies:

Watercolor Wings

Wild Wasabi, Rich Razzleberry, Peekaboo Peach, Berry Blast, Powder Pink ink

Whisper White, Powder Pink, So Saffron card stock

Tutti-Fruitti adhesive backed sequins

Brusho Leaves

This  card is another example of using some of the Brusho crystals altered Glossy white card stock I messed around with awhile back.  I will have another sample with the same colored background later this week, both of which are good for masculine cards.  

I used my Memento Black ink and the Petal Palette stamp set to add some images to the Glossy card stock and then used the Milestone Moments stamp set for the sentiment.  I have found that I like to use the tear and tape adhesive to attach the altered  card stock to the layer beneath it because it rolls up on the corners just a little and this adhesive will hold it down quite well.

Supplies:

Milestone Moments, Petal Palette

Memento Black ink

Brusho Crystals

Glossy White card stock

Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, Basic Black card stock
