tumbler

I have a friend that loves this card. Naturally, I tucked one away for her to give to her on her birthday. We took a road trip and I noticed that she always brings a cup of coffee with her. I mean a real cup, not a cup with a lid. Without a lid, coffee ends up everywhere. So I made this tumbler with LID using the same folder! How do you like it? Haven't even made one for me yet!

Father's Day '11

I don't get to see my Father-in-Law as often as I would like, but my husband was able to deliver this Father's Day card in person. I inked the Pheasant stamp with 3 different colors, then huffed (and puffed, just kidding!) and stamped on the paper. You have to clean the stamp every time you do this so the colors won't bleed into the ink pads. also, start with the lightest color and move toward the darker. The splatter is from the spritzer tool. It shoots a stream of air to the tip of a marker and blows ink drops all over the place. The markers don't seem wet enought to have ink just spraying out of them, but it really works!

Stamps: Pheasant Thoughts

Paper: Night of Navy, More Mustard, Old Olive, Naturals Ivory

Inks: Night of Navy, More Mustard, Old Olive

Mother's Day '11

Here is my Mother's Day card for this year. It was a lot of cutting, but it made for a really nice multi-dimentional effect. I stamped flowers and leaves on the paper above the basket and also stamped other flowers and leaves that I attached on top of them. Some are popped up and some were just glued on top. I water- colored the flowers leaves and basket.

Deets:

Stamps: Basket of Blossoms, Watercolor Vine Wheel

Paper: Rose Red, Confetti White

Inks: Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive, Mellow Moss, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel

Accessories: Dimentionals, Red Hemp

I really enjoy this time of year. Spring is in the air and tulips are at the grocery store! I just love, love LOVE tulips! I think it's because they don't last very long and they are so delicate. I try to get a bunch when ever I can. I just finished my Easter card. I sponged the edges of the white card stock with pale plum ink to really make it pop. In case you can't read the stamp, it says,"May God's love bring you never-ending joy."

Deets:

Stamps: Never Ending Joy

Paper: Mellow Moss, Pale Plum, White

Inks: VersaMark, Mellow Moss, Pale Plum, Perfect Plum

Oriental card

I had so much fun making this card. I didn't use any stamps, but I think you can still see me in it. I found the image on Google and made the actual Chinese characters with a gold zig painty pen. Mounted the picture on cardstock and ran it through my crimper. I even made the tassels.

Deets:

Paper: Red, Black, Gold

Accessories: Crimper, Zig Painty Pen, Punch
