Choose Happiness

The color scheme is Crushed Curry, Crumb Cake, and Island Indigo. I added a couple of pearls to the Choose Happiness greeting and added linen thread to complete the card.

It’s time for another round of the Monday Montage blog hop! I’m excited to share a card using a few products from the new catalog.

Choose Happiness

For this card I chose to use one of the 3×4 cards from the Happiness Is Project Life Collection.  While these cards are great for scrap booking, they can also be used to create cute cards.

Choose Happiness

I used the stamp set Choose Happiness for the images and sentiment on this card. If you look closely, you will notice yellow rhinestones near the bottom right corner of the card. I was able to color them using the new Blendabilities markers. How cool is that? I also added a strip of Moonlight DSP across the bottom of the card.

It’s time for another round of the Monday Montage blog hop!  Today I have an adorable birthday card to share that we recently made at my Birthday Stamp-A-Stack Class.

Build A Cupcake

Making the tag featured on the card was very simple with the Angled Tag Topper punch.  Then I simply stamped and punched the cupcake images from the Create A Cupcake stamp set. Next I finished the tag off by adding a little Real Red ribbon and tying a small bow using Pool Party Baker’s Twine.

You’re Lovely

» 6 February, 2014 » Cards, Clean & Simple » 0 comments

This is a pocket card made using the You’re Lovely stamp set.  It also showcases the Watercolor Wonder DSP.

You're Lovely

To make the pocket card simply cut your card base 4 1/4” x 11”.  Then score at 1” and 5 1/2”.   Add DSP of your choice to the bottom of the card, and fold on the score lines to finish the card base. Finish it off by tieing some pretty ribbon around the small folded section at the top.

You're Lovely pocket

Here is what it looks like with the pocket pulled out.  All that’s left now is adding a little message, and it’s ready to go in the mail!

Banner Blast

» 4 February, 2014 » Cards, Clean & Simple » 0 comments

Today I’m showing you a cute card made using the Banner Blast stamp set offered during Sale-a-bration.  I also used the coordinating punch that is being offered.

Banner Blast

This card came together pretty quickly. I simply stamped each banner design that I wanted to use on a small scrap piece of Whisper White, and then used the banner punch to punch them out.  I also used the banner punch to cut the banner shape on the ends of the Silver Glimmer Paper.

Banner Blast Up Close

It’s a little difficult to see in the picture but I created a polka dot background on the black layer to replicate the cute pattern on the banner. I simply stamped all over using the eraser end of a pencil and dipping it in Versamark.  Then I embossed it in clear embossing powder.

So you may be wondering how you can get this awesome set or punch. All you have to do is place a $50 order and you can pick from a selection of several stamp sets and accessories FREE! How awesome is that!

See ya later birthday

This card was made using the See Ya Later stamp set, which is one of the free sets you can choose with every $50 of merchandise you order.

The background is embossed with the dots embossing folder on Pool Party Core’dinations Card Stock. Then I used a sanding block to distress the dots.  The DSP used on the flag piece is another free option during Sale-a-bration.  It’s called Sweet Sorbet. I finished the card off by adding a little zigzag stitching and a small rhinestone.

Right now this set is my favorite set offered for Sale-a-bration. Let me know what sab item is your favorite in the comments.

Sending Good Thoughts

» 22 January, 2014 » Cards, Clean & Simple » 0 comments

Sending Good ThoughtsToday I have a super quick card to show you. The best part is that it really doesn’t use very many supplies so it’s great for beginners that don’t have a large stash to pull from just yet.

The main stamp sets I used for this card are Happy Watercolor and Perfect Pennants.  I love the watercolor stamp because it looks like I spent time coloring the background, when in reality all I did was stamp the image twice.

For the water coloring I stamped the watercolor image in So Saffron, and then I stamped above it again without reinking the stamp so that in would be even lighter (Giving it an ombré effect).

I added a small flower punch, some bling, and washi tape to finish the card.
