Get Well "Fence" Card

This dog on roller skates is just too cute! I opted to make my Dalmatian yellow instead of white, because I could lol. And layered it on a fence card, I'm kind of on a fence card kick at the moment.  Since it's a get-well card, flowers were added because a dog and flowers would make anyone feel better.

To make my card, the Roller Disco Dottie Die Set from Spellbinders was used. If you look closely, you can see that I layered Dottie on gray cardstock to give a shadow effect and popped her up on the fence card.

1. To make the "fence" card, white cardstock was cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and folded in have to make a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card.
2. Then on the top panel only, 1/4" strips were cut until you have 5 strips. 
3. One of the strips was cut in half and glued to the top of the card, with both of the bottom strips even with the bottom back of the card.
4. The remaining strips are evenly spaced and glued to the back of the two strips that were glued to the top.

The flowers were made with the Autumn Sealed Sprigs Die Set (this is one of my all-time favorite sets).

The Sentiment was made using the Snowflake Wishes Clear Stamp and Die Set, but don't let the name fool you! It has sentiments for many, many occasions.

Spellbinders has a new, pretty die-cut embossing machine, it's the Platinum Scout Lilac Shimmer Die-cut and Embossing Machine 3.5". It's the perfect size to sit on your desk and cut these dies without getting up.

Friend Get Well

 

Hi there, this week Rubbernecker Stamps is focusing on background stamps and all of the things that you can do with them.  For my card, I used the Mermaid Sea Embossing Set from Stampendous and the Abstract Koi Pond Background from Rubbernecker Stamps to make a beautiful shimmery background for my Get Well Soon card. 

Here's how my card was made-

• Stamp a white cardstock panel using the Abstract Koi Pond Background stamp with VersaMark Ink.
• Sprinkle all five colors of embossing powder from the Mermaid Sea set lightly one at a time until the panel is covered and heat emboss.
• To help prevent the embossing powder to cling to the paper where you don't want it, us an Embossing Buddy or baby powder on your paper first.  Be sure not to touch the paper with your fingers.
• Die-cut the embossed panel using one of the dies from the Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die Cut Set.

• Layer this onto a larger blue cardstock panel that was die-cut with the largest Nested Scallop w/Half Hole. Then layer it onto a slightly larger white panel before adhering it to a blue card.

• Use the Rectangle Stitch One Piece Combined Die Cut to cut white cardstock, pop up one of the white frames onto the card using 3D Foam Circles from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
• Die-cut white and blue cardstock using the Friend Script w/ Shadow Die and glue the white script onto the blue shadow.
• Apply 3D Foam Circles onto the back and pop up on the frame.

• Die-cut white and blue cardstock using the Friend Script w/ Shadow Die and glue the white script onto the blue shadow.
• Apply 3D Foam Circles onto the back and pop up on the frame.
• Stamp sentiment from the Kittie Says Phrases #1 Set on a strip of white cardstock with VersaMark Ink and emboss with the leftover embossing powder. Glue this to the card with the left edge under the frame.

Have a creative day!

Hugs Shaker Card

Hi there, Jamie with you for another Monday and to help get your creativity started for the week!  I really LOVE this card that I made, it has 3 of my favorite elements first it has leaves which I just can't get enough of, second it's a shaker card and cards that have movement are so much fun, then third the leaves are die-cut from glitter paper and everything looks better with glitter!!! 

Here's how my card was made-

•  Cut leaves using the Flower #5 Die Cut from three different colors of glitter paper.
• Glue the leaves onto a white cardstock panel that has been die cut using the Nested Rectangle Stitched Die Set.
• Glue this panel onto a light blue card and set aside.
• To make the shaker frame, use two of the Rectangle Stitched die and make a frame from the same blue paper as the card.
• Glue a piece of acetate to the backside of the frame, then line the frame with thin foam tape.  To help prevent the shaker bits from clinging to the acetate, rub it with a dryer sheet, then rub with a paper towel to get some of the film that it leaves off.
• Place shaker bits on your card, and place the acetate frame over them.

• Using the Hugs Die Cut #2, cut out the word on black cardstock and glue to the acetate and now your card is done.

A Flowery Feel Better

Today I'm up on the Rubbernecker Blog with a flowery, Feel Better Quick card.  I used the new Mixable Flower Stack Die which gives you five different sizes of stackable flowers and five different sizes of dots. 

I die cut my flowers and dots from bright colors of yellow and green papers, then glued them to a white panel.  The sentiment is from the Best Friend Etc set, it was stamped on a strip of white paper with Onyx Black VersFine ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  

This was layered onto decorative paper and glued to the card.  Ebony Black Nuvo Crystal Drops were used for random dots around the card.

Comfort, Strenght, Hope...

This card was made for my "glossy card" class and it is using a crayon resist technique that is super easy! I used this wonderful clear stamp set from Stampendous and stamped the words in black StazOn ink, then stamped the leaves and let dry a few seconds. Using a clear or white crayon, color in the leaves. Then stipple or sponge on the cranberry and lettuce Adirondack inks diagonally, when finished wipe with a paper towel and the leaves will pop! Layer this onto black and gold papers, punch three holes along the left side and add ribbon then layer onto white paper. On a cranberry panel, stamp the leaves from the set using galaxy gold Brilliance and mount to a white card. Add the circle stickers from Stampendous to two of the corners and you are done. This card can be used for sympathy, for someone with an illness or who has lost a job.


Now here is a picture of Melanie who recently got her braces off, look at those wonderfully straight teeth!

So now for the reason I haven't been posting recently. My MIL is in the hospital for the 12th day and is expected to be there for another 2-3 weeks. She has a bunch of problems that came about quickly and we are hoping she gets better. So we have been visiting her often and haven't had time for much else. Here is a picture of my hubby Paul and my son Greg visiting Gram.

Here in southern California we have year round school and tomorrow is Greg's last day of 7th grade, wow my baby is growing up! So tomorrow is his awards ceremony and he will be getting an award for a 4.0 gpa, we are sooooo proud of him!! Then he is off for a month and into 8th grade he goes in July.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you all have a great week.

Caught A Bug...

Stampendous has this super cute little stamp set that has a bunch of small images and saying to go along with them. So I stamped this little ant three times on white squares with black VersaFine ink, layered them on to red and black papers. These were glued to the front of an acetate card and the checkered, red and black papers were glued to the inside of the card. Inside to write on is a white panel. I cut the tag free hand and stamped "heard you caught a bug", tied it with ribbon and glued it down. This card is really cute and there is no coloring involved!
Check out Stampendous' new blog and see my "Spring" card", woo hoo! And keep checking back I have several other acetate cards that I will be posting in the next couple of days.
Have a great day!
