Fitness Goals

Hi there.  Today, I made this card for two reasons.  One being that how cute is this girl and the bikini?  I can’t handle it, it’s so fun.  The second reason is for the SSS Monday Challenge-Get In Shape.  I thought a fitness card was just right.  I stamped and copic colored the images.  I used Planner Street stamps called Fitness Is Life and I used Simon Says Stamp Sea You Soon for my stamped images.  I fussy cut them all out and die cut some stitched mats for my girl and bikini using Label Shape Dies by Jaded Blossom.  I die cut a stitched Rectangle from Jaded Blossom called Card Mat dies for all my images and die cuts to be glued on.  I added some white and clear gel marks and glitter to girl and Bikini.  I also used an A2 side folding card base.  Well, that finishes my card for today, I hope you like it.  Thank you for stopping by.

Monkey-Love Ya Bunches!

Hello!  Today, I made a fun card using this cute monkey set called Love Ya Bunches.  It’s a collaboration with Lawn Fawn and Ellen Hutson.  I love this stamp set, I have used it one other time.  I first stamped my monkey on a Lawn Fawn cross stitched rectangle, I then masked it with a post it to begin my stamping.  I chose most Lawn Fawn ink pads and one Hero Arts Ombre ink pad to stamp the sentiment.  My purpose for this card is the Lawnfanatics Challenge 9, a color inspiration based on this color combo.  After stamping repetitive times, I got my distress oxides and regular distress inks and blended my inks to match.  Spinkling a few drops of water and absorbing with a dry paper towel.  I colored the monkey with my copic markers.  I had a colored banana die cut that I previously colored  in my stash, which was perfect for my card.  I added foam tape to the banana and panel which was added to a A2 top folding card base.  Lastly, I added some matching irridescent Pretty Pink Posh Sequins and and white gel marks to my monkey.  I hope you like my card, thank you for stopping by.

A+ in My Book!

Hi there.  Today, I’m sharing a card that I made using this sweet girl Abigail-A+ in My Book from Stamp Anniething.  I think she is adorable, and I knew I wanted to use this red gingham pattern paper.  I stamped and heat embossed Abigail with black Versafine Ink and clear embossing powder.  I colored Abigail with my copic markers using primary colors to match my paper.  I die cut a stitched rectangle for my panel from Jaded Blossom Card Mat Dies and  I took my 6×6 gingham paper and die cut it with the new Card Layers 1 Dies by Jaded Blossom.  I Love that die so much, it makes card making  and projects so much easier.  I arranged my layers of gingham and glued them with my ATG gun.  I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on to the banner die cuts that I got using the Card Layers 1 Dies.  I used the new Alphabet Dies 2 set from Jaded Blossom to make a A+,  and then I copic colored them glueing  them with liquid glue.  I popped Abigail up with foam tape, and I popped my banner sentiment up too.  I then glued my panel on an A2 top folding card base.  Lastly, I used my gel pens for interest, and my Spectrum Noir glitter pen.  I hope you like my card, thank you for stopping by.

Metallic Peonies

Hi there.  Today I made this card using these beautiful Peonie flowers from Wplus9 called Modern Peonies.  I wanted to play with my Metallic water colors from Prima, so I stamped and heat ebossed my flowers and leaves in SSS Rose Gold on black heavy weight cardstock.  When I acheived the look I wanted,  I fussy cut everything and left a black border.  I used a wonky stitched rectangle that I die cut from my SSS dies and heat embossed the sentiment using my Mini Misti and the same ebossing powder.  I arranged my flowers and I even cut some leaves to fit in place for my arrangement.  I used liquid glue and foam tape to pop some flowers up on an A2 Ivory top folding card base.  I added some Rose Gold Pretty Pink Posh sequins in different sizes.  Lastly, I placed an extra die cut flower on a black wonky panel for the inside of my card.  Something I need to do more often.  I hope you like my card, thank you for stopping by.

Wish Big!

Hi there.  Today, I made this sweet card using one of the images from the Sunny kit by The Greeting Farm.  Isn’t she adorable?  I will be entering this card in the Farm Fresh Challenge-Shaker Cards and SSS Wednesday Challenge-Use Plaid.  Now onto my card.  I stamped and heat embossed my image and colored her in with Copic markers.  I used a stitched rectangle that I die cut from Jaded Blossom Card Mat dies.   My plaid paper came from a Lawn Fawn Plaid paper pack.  I used the Die-namics Balloon Shaker Window and Frame from MFT for my balloon shaker.  I also used the Balloon shaker pouch to fill my sequins in.  I love using those pouches, it makes shaker cards so much easier and fun.  I colored my balloon frame with Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry, I think that is my favorite ink color now.  I gave the balloon a orange twine string from Lawn Fawn for the girl to hold.  I glued everything on an A2 top folding card base.  I used a scripty word die from My Creative Time for my sentiment, I die cut that two times with black heavyweight cardstock.  I used my white gel pen for some accents on the girl and used my orange Nuvo drops for some interest.  Lastly, I added glitter with my Spectrum Noir glitter pen on the balloon, girl’s outfit, and her hat.  I hope you like my card, thank you for stopping by.

Sunshine Turnabout

 

Hello There.  Today, I made a few cards using this wonderful stamp set from Concord and 9th called Sunshine Turnabout.  I had a blast using my ink pads and my Original Misti.  On my rectangle card I chose to use a scalloped frame from Gina Marie.  I used a scalloped circle from Jaded Blossom for my sentiment that was stamped with matching Delicata gold ink.  I then stamped some flowers from the stamp set using also matching colors.  I also used Altenew inks in the yellow family.  Lastly I glued everything, popping up my scallop with foam tape and placing it on a A2 top folding card base.   I then used some Nuvo drops to finish my card.  On my small square scalloped note cards, I die cut some squares and circles using a note die set from Papertrey Ink. The inks I chose for my square note cards were from SSS and Menento.   My small squares and circle die cuts were used for my panels.   I heat embossed my sentiments on to them, and I glued them all on my scalloped card bases.  I placed sequins and Nuvo drops to finish those small note cards.  These cards are all very easy to mass produce, using endless colors of ink.  I hope you like my cards, and thank you for stopping by.
