When I pre-ordered the Circle Circus set, I wasn't sure how much I would like it, but I absolutely love it! It is so versatile! I've made this card in many different colour combos now!
I've wanted to try this Crimped Envelope Pocket Card for awhile, and thought this would be a good month to do it! I think my new favourite colour is Rich Razzleberry! I used that with the gorgeous Soft Suede for this envelope. I stamped the images from Razzle Dazzle on the envelope, then sponged ink around the edges before crimping.
This second card uses the Scallop Square Medallion technique. I thought it would be cute with the new Animal Stories stamp set and Tall Tales designer series paper. I matched these with Crushed Curry as the card base. The whale is stamped with my Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry Stampin' Write markers, and the greeting is from On Your Birthday (in Bermuda Bay). For the ribbon, I used some 5/8" So Saffron grosgrain.
Finally, by special request, we are doing the Split Negative Technique. I have posted this card before, so you can check here for the details if you'd like.
also be making this simple gift bag using the second piece. For the bag, I just rolled the Symphony jumbo wheel across the bag with Basic Black and matted the violin image from Music Expressions on some Real Red cardstock.
This is a card I made for Splitcoast Stampers' Sketch Challenge #234. I was very excited to play with my new In Colors! This one has Dusty Durango as the card base, layered with Razzleberry Lemonade designer series paper. I added some Little Leaves die cuts in Old Olive, then layered on the image from Razzle Dazzle in Crushed Curry. I stamped some Dusty Durango splatters from Itty Bitty Backgrounds around the image and added some So Saffron 5/8" grosgrain ribbon.
I will be holding my annual New Catalogue Open House and Rubber Garage Sale on Thursday, July 9 from 4 - 8 p.m. at my home. If you need my address or directions, please email me and I'll get those to you.
Has it really been over a month since I've posted? That's ridiculous! We've been looking to build a new house for the past few months, so that has pretty much been all-consuming! We finally found a lot and house we want to build, so we put ours up for sale last week. In between showings, keeping the house clean with two little boys and being a mom, I've barely had any time for stamping.
This is one of the cards we made at Crystel's stamp-a-stack last night. I'm using as much In Color cardstock as I can this month since it won't be around much longer! I'm really going to miss Baja Breeze!
This is a card I made for an upcoming punch art swap. I will give complete credit to my friend, Treena, aka Papertree on Splitcoast, since I CASEd the design of the card from one she made and she showed me how to make the little punch chick (isn't she cute?). Treena is amazingly talented!
First of all, I apologize for the quality of this photo - I always find it so hard to photograph scrapbook pages! There must be a trick to it!
The first card is a Triangle Trifold card (an oldie but goodie!). I used the Walk in the Park designer series paper from the Occasions mini catalogue, and pulled the Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze and Regal Rose from there as my colour scheme. I used the Great Friend stamp set (also from the Occasions Mini) because it goes so well with the paper! To finish off, I added some Kiwi Kiss satin ribbon.
This birthday card uses designer series paper and textured card stock, plus features the Jumble Alphabet that will be in the new catalogue in July (and is on sale this month as a Sneak Peek promotion!). I used the Good Morning Sunshine paper with Tangerine Tango textured cardstock. I haven't used Tangerine Tango very much, so I thought it was time to pull some out! I also used Certainly Celery, Pacific Point and Old Olive, along with some Celery twill ribbon. The tag has stamps from Party Hearty and On Your Birthday.
The final card is one I received in a swap. It was designed by Donna Wizniuk, a very talented stamper! I had it up on my display board and everyone kept asking to make it, so I thought it was time! I used the sticky pages with the Beautiful Butterflies die to cut out the butterfly. Then it's covered with silver microbeads and Dazzling Diamonds glitter. There is a layer of vellum underneath dry embossed with the Big Shot swirly texturz plate. It also features one of my new favourite ribbons - Organza ribbon! The antennae are stems from the flowers in the Pretties kit. I love this combination of Very Vanilla and Whisper White. I never would have thought of putting those two together, but it's such a beautiful, soft look.
