Party Time Tuesday #131

This is a card I made recently that uses embossing powder.  The background is made by laying a piece of lace on sticky paper and applying a glitter embossing powder of a darker color and then removing the lace and applying another color of embossing glitter.  I embossed the whole piece after the second embossing glitter went on.  The main image is then embossed on the white cardstock.  Thought this would be perfect for anything goes at Party Time Tuesday.

MIM #151

I have been a little lax at posting cards to my blog.  Part of the reason is that I was on the design team at Stamper's Quest.  This was an online magazine for stampers.  Well it seems they are not going to keep publishing anymore so I will be bringing my cards back to my own blog. 

This is a trifold card that I made a little while ago.  I just love this look.  I am not really one to use designer paper, but it worked great for this project.  If you have never tried one of these you really should.  They are not that difficult to make.  I am going to enter this in the Make it Monday challenge this week.

Totally Gorjuss #191

The challenge at Totally Gorjuss this week was to make a card with circles.  I have been seeing so many cards online putting a sun in the background and was just dying to try it.  I punched a circle out of a scrap piece of paper and then used a stipple brush to apply the color.  The stamp set is an old one fro Stampin' Up called Branch Out.  This was a set I just had to have a while back because I had seen a card made with it.  It is a really cool set because you can add little things to the tree.  I also added some clear highlight to the tire with a clear gel pen to make it stand out a little.  This is a very simple card , but I was pleased with the look and I used a set I had never used before.







Make it Monday #148

Here is a thank you card I made for a girl at work recently.  There is not a lot of stamping, most of the card is dies or punches.  I just love these little tulip flowers.  They are make from a 5 petal flower punch.  You cut out two of the petals from the cut out.  After you cut out your two petals your piece should look like a Y.  The the bottom petal is folded up.  It also helps to put a tiny piece of foam tape under the petal you are folding up to give it some dimension. Thought this would be perfect for Make it Monday.

Make it Monday #144

Trying to get back into posting on my blog. Got new computer system at work and when I got home I just did not feel like doing anything.  This is a card that I made for my Uncle's birthday.  He is 91 and flew in the Air Force.  I found this set on clearance at Hobby Lobby and thought it would be perfect for his birthday card.  I thought it would be perfect for my Make it Monday entry. The design for this card came from Stamper's Quest.  I am on their design team and this was the sketch we were given for this month.

Quirky Crafts #12

This was my post on Paper Temptress last week.  So all the paper I used was from Paper Temptress.I am a big stamper and this card has no stamping on it.  My daughter asked me to make a birthday card for her 2 year old nephew.  The theme of the card is Bob the Builder.  She found a tool belt card on Pinterest  and asked if I could do something.  Here is the link to the other card.  Also from the link you can go to a link that gives you a cut file.  I own a cricut but don't know how to download cut files.  I went to the cut file picture and just cut and pasted my tools.
Now to my card.  The base is Brown Basis.  I used an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock and cut the base to 5 x 11.  I scored the base at 3 1/2 from each side. The belt across the top and the pockets are Treasures Crafty Brown.  The gray on the tools is Gray Basis.  The red on the handles is Treasures Cardinal Red. The challenge at Quirky Crafts was fold it.

We were given a stamp set and a die.  My set was Posy Patch.  All the paper in this card comes from Paper Temptress.  The base for my card is Heavenly White.  It is sort of sad to use this wonderful paper as a base.  It is wonderful for Copic Markers and stamps beautifully due to it's smooth texture.  The next layer is Epic Black.  I cut a hole to display my sentiment.  The hole is framed with a Hambly Screenprint called Hounds Tooth.  The pattern down the side is also a Hambly Screen print and it is a part of the Vintage Patchwork Screen print. The flowers were stamped on Silver Laser Lustre.  This paper takes Distress inks so beautifully.  I stamped the flowers in black StazOn and added color with Vintage Photo, Antique Linen, Tea dye and Walnut Stain Distress ink.  I added frosted lace Stickles in the center of the flowers for some bling.  The bow is my new favorite ribbon and is called 5/8 Elegant Cappuccino Satin with gold lines.  I just love the rich color of this ribbon.  Next stop is Tina's Blog.
