Hang in There!

This is the same as the previous card, but this time I used a sentiment I created and cut in the Silhouette software.

I scanned and pulled into my Silhouette to print and cut. I think this sloth with his arm in a bandage is so cute. The sentiment was created using the Andy font and printed and cut at the same time as the sloth.

I kept it real clean and simple. After the image was colored with Copic Markers foam tape was added to the back for dimension. A rectangle of woodgrain cardstock was cut with a stitched die and adhered to a side folding cardbase with dotliner adhesive. Foam tape was added behind the sloth and sentiment and they were adhered to the card front and the card was done.

I created two card, one with an embossed background and the other plain.

This is Knot Good

When I saw this cute stamp set from Stampin’ Up I had to get it. It makes such great get well cards and the sentiments are perfect. For this card I used the giraffe with his neck in a knot. I stamped it and scanned it so I had it electronically. That way I could size it to fit the card design and I could also cut around the image. I printed it with registration marks and then cut and colored. I added a grassy hill and then some tall grass as well. Everything was colored with Copic Markers.

I had some wood grain cardstock leftover on my desk and cut a rectangle with a stitched die and added it to a top folding A2 ivory cardbase. The hill was adhered with liquid glue and the grass sprigs were adhered with foam tape. Foam tape was also added behind the giraffe for dimension.

The sentiment make me smile. I recreated it in the Silhouette with Andy Font. It was adhered to a rectangle of dark brown cardstock mat.

A quick and easy card.

Spring Flowers Thank You

Rather than purchasing new stamps all the time I am trying to use what I have. Michael will soon be retiring and I won’t have the funds that I’ve been used to all these years.

It has been quite some time since I used Simon Says Stamp Even More Spring Flowers. I stamped them on Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock and watercolored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. They were then die cut using the coordinating dies.

This time I cut a rectangle using a scalloped die and then ran it through with the Cricut Cuttlebug Oxford Embossing Folder. It adds a lot of visual interest behind the flowers and draws your eye.

The sentiment was cut using mirror cardstock and again with sticky back foam. The flowers were arranged and picked up with Glad Press ‘n Seal, which keeps your arrangement together until you can determine here you want to place it. Because the “t” in the thanks overlapped the flowers the foam tape was cut away so that it would lay flat together. 3M 1/2″ Foam Tape was added to the back of the flowers, holding them all together in a bunch and adhered to the upper left of the scalloped rectangle and the sentiment was in the lower right.

For a final embellishments gold sequins were scattered on the card. The focal image rectangle was then adhered to the side folding A2 cardbase and the card was done.

Sailing Into a Happy Birthday

I wanted to use up the oval of navy cardstock I had left over from another card I made and thought that it would be a great background for this ship from Stampin’ Up’s The Open Sea. I paired it with Altenew’s Dotted Scaled Debossing Plate because it looks a little bit like waves, but I wanted some added dimension, so I inked the plate with navy ink before running it through the Big Shot. I really like the distressed look that it gave to the background.

Birch Tree Horses

My daughter-in-law loves horses. She goes riding on a regular basis and her favorite places are always in the mountains. I saw a card from Stampin’ Magic where she used this embossing folder from Stampin’ Up and ink a deer image behind it. I was amazing and I decided to give it a try with some horses for Cassie. It was surprising easy to do. Loved the way it turned out.

I’ve added a link to the video I watched to learn how to make this card. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyTp1rIsrU0&t=308s
