Simple Friendship Card Set


I made some gift card sets with the Simple Friendship stamp set. I love the clean monochromatic look of the cards. I love the new Crumb Cake ink to go with the former Kraft now Crumb Cake paper. This is a modification of a card from the catalog. It would look great with any color.

I made these cards 4" x 4" square. I started by stamping the circle on the Naturals Ivory paper and punching it out with the 1-3/4" punch and then stamping the flower and cutting it out and using dimensional in between each layer.

Today is the last day to order from the Summer Mini Catalog, so order your favorites before they are unavailable!

Just Believe Convention Samples

I really enjoyed making these projects from convention at our last demonstrator meeting. I was not able to go to convention so it was a treat to do these fun projects. The first project is a pocket holder that we made little 1 inch cards to place inside. I love this idea and will be using it in the future!

Here is what it looks like inside.

Here is a 3x3 card that we made by sponging color through a circle cut out with the Circle Sizzix die and then stamping the images on top of the circle.


My favorite is the last card we made by coloring with markers on the stamp, spraying the stamp with water and then stamping on watercolor paper to get the watercolor effect. I also love the folded ribbon topped with a button.

I hope you enjoyed seeing these fun projects from convention! The Just Believe stamp set is definitely one of the must have sets from the new catalog, so order yours right away!

Elements of Style Card

Only one week left of the Summer Mini Catalog! The Elements of Style stamp set is one of my favorites! It is so beautiful! I cased this card, but I forgot to keep the name of the original creator, sorry. I loved stamping the flower image and then using the square punch to punch out sections of the flowers.

Sweet Scoops Ice Cream Parlor Card

Ready for something sweet? This ice cream parlor card will hit the spot! The idea comes from Dawn Olchefske. I used the Sweet Scoops stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalog (sales period ends this month!) to create this card.

For the awning I started with a piece of 4-1/2" x 2" whisper white and scored at 3/8" and 1-1/4". I scalloped the edge and added 6 word window punches out of pink pirouette.

For the shelf bottom I used a piece of 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" pink pirouette scored at 2-1/4". I scalloped the top of the shelf.

I stamped my ice cream cones on the card and then stamped the ice cream and cut out the scoops and used dimensionals to pop them up.

This is a fun card that you could use to create any kind of shop, like a flower shop!

Here is a video tutorial that I created to show you exactly how to make this fun card.

Printed Petals Card


I love this card by Lori, so I decided to make one of my own. I used the Scallop Square die to create the card within a card. I cut out a flower from the new Printed Petals stamp set. I used the Lots of Tags sizzlits to layer behind the Happy Birthday from the new Perfect Punches stamp set. Then I used the bird punch to create the stem and the wing for the leaf.

Here is what the card looks like on the inside.




Recipe:
Stamp Sets: Printed Petals, Perfect Punches, Petite Petals jumbo wheel
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzaz, Marina Mist, Early Expresso
Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzaz, Marina Mist, Early Expresso
Sizzix: Scallop Square, Lots of Tags
Punches: Two- Step Bird Extra Large

Poppy Parade


The new Poppy Parade In Color is a bright fun color to play with! I changed the layout of this card by LeeAnn to create my card. I ran some Pear Pizzaz through the Big Shot with the new Victorian Wallpaper Embossing folder and layered some Early Expresso that I used the Scallop Trim border punch down one side. Sneak Peek alert: I used a fabulous new 2-1/2" circle punch from the Holiday Mini Catalog for the flower!
