Color Burst Card

I used the Color Burst powder on this stamped image and I always use too much! It seriously only needs the tiniest sprinkle but it gets stuck in the spout and spurts out a glob. Trying to love this stuff but well it’s a work in progress. I cut the thank you dies out three times and stacked them, this is turning out to be a great technique. Makes it stand out better, especially with this strong background. The stamp is the Gina K/Hero Arts floral set.

Double Dutch Fold Card

I finally colored this stamp right! It is from Local King Rubber Stamps and I used their markers which hello, worked. So their markers seem to hold up more intensely when you spritz with water before stamping on water color paper. I use other brands and they always end up almost disappearing when I do this technique. I saw this demonstrators video on how to make this card and decided this would be a good way to display this pretty image. I love it!

Thanks Card and Kit Card

First card I used this beautiful paper from Stampin' Up! called Ornate Garden. It is so pretty in person because it catches the light with the gold and is so soft colored. I wanted to just put a simple thanks on it and leave it at that. I might have used too light of a color for the card stock I cut the thanks die out of though.

The second card is from the March Paper Pumpkin kit. It is what you are supposed to do with the kit, that's the point. I tell you - to make a bunch of quick, nice cards this kit club is it! No thinking, no worrying, no coloring for the most part.

Original Card!

I have a hard time coming up with a card on my own. This one is all mine baby! I cut this new die from Stamping' Up! with black card stock and I had this Gina K/Hero Arts flower stamped already on a piece of paper (to color later) and set it on the black die cut and boom! I didn't even want to color it, this made a beautiful statement as is. I always color a stamped image so this was brave for me. YAY! I put this on Pinterest and people are pinning it! I am thrilled. I don't put most of my cards on there because they are cases of other peoples cards and I don't feel that is right. If I change it enough or do a different image or something then I might.

A couple TSOL Cards

This card is from The Stamps Of Life card class last month. I ordered the set and then did the card with Stephanie Barnard on the Youtube video. That was fun! She is so entertaining. So this card is not original by any stretch of the imagination. I did make the card a fold-it. The basket definitely could be an Easter Card. I don't have any Easter sentiments that aren't religious! I need to look around and order something for these type of cards.

The second card is a CASE and I just wanted to do a spinner card. I think I am not keeping this set, I just have no use for piñatas and tacos! It is a club set so I never know what I am getting each month. Most of the time I love them! Its cute and I love the colors. Definitely needs a sentiment.

Easter Card Perhaps

I am particularly proud of this one because I used such a bright and cheery print to go along with this adorable dog. It is an old stamp I have from Helz Cuppleditch. There used to be website that sold all of these wonderful artist's stamps. Still some of my favorites! So glad when I did the big purge I didn't get rid of these. I am still wishing I didn't get rid of some stamps, ugh. This is why people end up keeping everything and hoarding huh? Anyway I haven't decided on a sentiment yet. I love this though!

Easter Card and Spring Card

I am thinking this will be an Easter Card. This is that set the fox is in. Fairie Garden by Crafters Companion.

This card is a case of a card made by Stamping' UP! I used what I had on hand and I really like the results!

Mishmash of Cards made

The first card is a fun fun fun set I bought off HSN. It is a Fairy set LDRS Teatime Fairies that the teapot die has window and doors that open for you to put the fairies in. There are a bunch of different fairies to stamp and die cut in this set! I made two so far and I have in mind a third one soon.

This card I finally got Distress Oxide ink to do these backgrounds with. My first attempt.

This card I made for Kristina Werner's card roll call. The theme was birthday

This one is casing her card she did a video on no line coloring.

My card making friend bought the Parisian Suite from Stamping' Up! and gave me this die cut of the Eiffel tower. I tried to copy a card with what supplies I had - this die is awesome!

Poppy Paper from Stamping' Up! again, the flowers however are not. I stamped and water colored them.

Some Pretty Flower Cards and a Fox

Here's that Penny Black stamp again, this card came out so pretty. A case of course!

The next three are all the same stamp by Gina K in colaberation with Hero Arts

Cute Fox! I have to make a bunch of cards from this set as there are a bunch of cute animals

And then this card! Loving this style, I made 5 total - 4 for my friends thank you and one for a sample for myself to make more.

Pull the tab and...

Then there were more cards!

So I will explain these between images.

This one is a die set from Altenew, one of my absolute favorites! Love layering dies.

New Poppy Moments die set and paper from Stampin' Up!

Yes, that card style again - I like more complicated cards and they look cool. This is a Penny Black stamp that I colored with markers then spritzed with water to make a water color look

Keeping up the Cards!

So this is a preview of a set from Stamping' Up! called Ornated Garden Suite. The cards are CASEs of their designers etc. Some sentiments are not theirs by the way. Just in time, a friend of mine who makes gifts for ladies that recently found out they have breast cancer needed 100 thank you cards. I have a project! There are 5 of us gals working on it, usually we meet together but with this Covid-19 isolation we can't. I miss my stamping buddies! The fourth one though, my favorite embossing technique. Emboss image on vellum then color it from the back with markers. Then sprinkle dazzlings diamonds on front!

The Cards continue

One more card from that SSS card kit. It is a nice one, more versatile for me.

I made these with a new die set from Stamping' Up! It is super easy to use. I colored with water color paint on watercolor paper then cut the flowers out with the dies. Super pretty. The design is from them. I think only one of the sentiments is theirs, the other a mishmash of companies.

St. Patrick's Day Card and ATC

Backing up to St. Patrick's Day.. Card I made for my BFF and then Graphic45 ATC swap. The theme was Spring and SPD.

Making Cards by the bazillions!

With this stuck at home pandemic Covid-19 going on I have plenty of time to make cards! I have made a ton. I am going to post them in a bunch of posts because I think I can only do 5 images a post? Anyway hope it inspires someone to have some play time and fun during this strange time. If you want a name of the paper or stamps etc. just ask in comments, I will receive an email that you commented and I will answer in comments. I don't make money on this so I don't post all the info because I don't like typing all at one time LOL!

First a shaker card I love! It turned out so cool. Of course the sloth is the star!
