Celebrate With Style

 

Today I made this card for the SplitCoastStampers sketch challenge SC422 and color challenge CC412 using cream, kraft and black, I love the color combo.   Since I'm always in need of birthday cards I made a couple :)

 

Tuesday was my wonderful husband's birthday.  My son Greg told me we had to get the number candles or there would be WAY to many...I thought he was right haha.  Happy Birthday Paul!

Love

This Valentine's card was made using the glitter and lace techique that I love so much.  The heart was cut out of sticker paper using a Sizzix die.  The  back paper was removed from the sticker paper and lace was placed over the sticky side.  Red glitter was then poured on the lace, rubbed in, shaken off and the lace was removed.  irredescent glitter was then sprinkled on the heart, rubbed and shaken off.

Love was stamped on a white strip with Versamark ink and embossed with black glitter embossing powder and glue was placed in the heart and sprinkled with glitter. This was then layered on black paper, glued to the heart.

A black panel was stamped with a swirl stamp in two corner, dusted with Pearl Ex and the heart was glued on and it was mounted to a white card.  Corner mount stickers were placed in two corners and a  key hole sticker was placed diagonally to the corner.  A key sticker was placed on acetate, cut out and attached to the "love" strip.

Stamps, stickers and glitter by Stampendous.

Quick Birthday Card

My husband's birthday is coming up and my mom asked me to make a card for her to give to him just a couple of hours before we were to celebrate his birthday...this is what I came up with. 

A white panel was stippled with  Lettuce, Stonewashed and Denim Adirondack inks.  The sentiment was stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with black glitter powder.  Then it was layered onto a black panel and glued to a white card.  You can't see it in the picture but two lines were scored on the right side using a Score-Pal.  Light blue, dark blue and silver round stickers were placed at the edge.  This was super easy and I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Glitter Lace Heart

This is a heart I made 10 of for a swap at a local stamp store.
The heart was cut from cream cardstock and background words were stamped with Beige Brilliance and then over stamped with lips (Stampendous) using Pink Pastel Chalk Ink.

Torn decorative paper was glued to half of the heart and a skeleton leaf rubbed with mushroom Adirondack Ink was was placed under the torn paper. Glitter glue was then placed on the torn edge.
Love (Stampendous) was stamped and embossed on cream paper using champagne and embossing powder, layered to brown paper and two brown corner mounts were added.
The glitter heart was made by cutting a heart out from sticker paper using a Sissix die, placing lace on top and sprinkling with pink glitter, shake off excess glitter, remove lace then apply iridescent glitter. Layer on to a larger brown heart.

XO (Stampendous) was stamped at the bottom of the heart an embossed with champagne embossing powder. The cream edges of the heart we're sponged with Beige Brilliance.

Thank you for stopping by!

A Heartfelt Thank You

Looks like I'm ready for spring with this Thank You card! The bottom half of the white panel was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder, the middle was masked so the top could be stamped with flowers that were colored with markers. The sentiment was stamped in black and ribbon was added. A butterfly was added with pearls down the center. All stamps by Hero Arts.

Criss Cross Card

I'm using up some of my pattern paper and this is a great way to do it! All it takes is pattern paper, cardstock, punches, stickers ribbon and a couple of stamps and you are done...easy.

Thank You

I found a stamped piece in a drawer and thought it was time to make a card out of it. It's made with blue and green chalk inks, added a paperclip and skeleton leaf.
