Tickled Pink Baby Girl Card

7/31/2015

I'm a mom of one daughter and three sons and I get tickled pink when I get to make cards for girls. This adorable card is a throwback to Stampin' Up and I dug out some retired stamps that are still my favorites. For this adorable card I used itty bitty background stamps with versamark clear ink to create a unique soft background. Tied ribbon around a strip of polka dot pattern paper and adhered to card panel. Used the crib notes stamp set for the pig and sentiment, which I stamped with versafine onyx black, colored in with SU watercolor markers, and added an adorable tiny button for the nose. I recommend glue dots for adhering buttons or you can use a button brad. Punch out the pig and matching pink circle and adhered to pink panel. Take the whole pink panel and adhere to teal card base and add some random stickles diamond glitter glue to some polka dots for sparkle. See what you can do with buttons and get those stamps out and play!

Christmas in July~Snowman Card

7/18/2015

5 Comments

It's heating up here in Colorado and what better way to cool us down than to think of Christmas in July. I always make thank you cards after the holidays and I made this adorable card for the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and just love this little snowman easily made with just punches. I started with a snowflake embossed background, added a snowflake brad, and adhered to card base. I tore white cardstock, inked it up, and added some stickles glitter glue for some sparkle, adhered to card and stamped sentiment. Punch out three circles (2", 1.5", and 1") for the body, a 1 1/4"
square punch for the hat, and a snowflake punch for the arms and popped up the body for dimension. Added some ink and stickles, an adorable face, and a colorful scarf. Hope your staying cool, drink lots of water, and please keep your dogs and kids safe this summer.

Baby Girl Card-Challenge #83

7/7/2015

1 Comment

After four boys a friend of mine FINALLY had a baby girl!!! Yes, baby #5! Congratulations! As a mom of one daughter and three sons, I get it. And I rarely get to make girl cards. So, when I do, they tend to be frilly and pink, but this one I wanted a sweet vintage look. I got out my Slice machine, yep, I still have one and still love it. It's light and portable and can do tons of quick cuts, titles, numbers, etc... I used the baby slice design cards for the onsies and the number die cuts; pink baby DCWV pattern paper; a soft eyelet border punch; inked the edges in a soft chestnut ink; adhered to a kraft colored base card; and finished with a soft ribbon and button.

Trains, planes, and automobiles...Oh my! Is my theme for this very simple Father's Day card. I used a piece of fourth of July pattern paper as my background and adhered it to cardstock as my base. I like 100lb cardstock or greater makes for a sturdy card base. I stamped on white cardstock with blue distress ink, and used two different size circle punches to punch out the stamped images and dark blue circles and adhered to card. Then stamped my sentiment with the same blue ink and added some bakers twine.

Supplies:
Bazzill Coconut Swirl and Navy cardstock
Pattern Paper
Technique Tuesday stamp set-All Aboard
Stampin Up sentiment (retired-sorry)
Ranger Tim Holtz mini ink-Chipped Sapphire
American Crafts-bakers twine
Circle Punches: 1.5" and 1"
