Stampin' Sisterhood

I hope you popped over to the Stampin' Sisterhood blog and took a look at my card posted there. I really love it!!!! I used shrink plastic and lots of distressing to create a very vintage and feminine card. If you haven't yet, take a look!

Teenage boy birthday

This card was made as a masculine birthday card for my grandson turning 13. Once I got it done, I realized it looks a big like Santa's belt. Don't tell him. I hope he won't notice. But it did make me chuckle.

I inked the stamp with markers before stamping onto white, cutting out and mounting onto the lucky limeade card stock. I put the black strip behind which is embossed with the diamond plate folder. The card front is embossed with the distressed frame.

Thanks for stopping by!

Best Wishes

This technique of inking the negative side of an embossing folder, then embossing your paper is so perfect for an elegant wedding card. Unfortunately I can't find my brayer, so I had to use direct to folder using my ink pad. The result isn't the greatest, but it works well enough, I think.

I inked the Damask Corner folder with Old Paper distress ink and embossed white paper. The sentiment is just part of a sentiment stamp omitting several of the words. That is cut/embossed with Spellbinders' Fleur de Lis Accents and popped up with foam squares. I colored the seam binding with the same ink and tied a multi loop bow, adding a pearl brad to the center. Of course I had to add just a couple of pearls to the sentiment too.

For this card, I stamped the cute little daisy heart image from the set onto vanilla card stock using Wild Honey distress ink and coloring in with Copic markers. I added stickles to the centers of the flowers and cut the image out. The dp is from the Authentique Splendid bundle. It has a hint of the turquoise color in it, so I brought that out with the ribbon and the sentiment. The sentiment is stamped onto the designer paper and curved to fit around the heart shape. I then added the "bow" with a rhinestone brad center.

I stamped the beautiful rosebud stamp image onto white card stock and then colored with Copic markers, cutting out and mounting onto black. The pink panel is embossed with Fancy Corners and the ribbons added. The white panel is embossed with Textile Texture folder and mounted onto the pink card stock. I added one more length of ribbon under the rose image panel and around the entire card front.

For my card, I used the rosebud, the leaves and the sentiment. I stamped the leaves on the card front behind the oval rosebud image panel. I really like the dimension it added. The images are colored with Copic markers. The edges are sponged with distress inks: Seedless Preserves and Gathered Twigs. I really like the Gathered Twigs for stamping nature images. It's just softer than black. I added the embellishment cut/embossed using Spellbinders Ironwork Motifs and sponging to distress it a bit. I then added the beautiful ribbon (also from MFP) and heated it a bit to get more texture. I hope you like it.

Pink Valentines

A Valentine! I used designer papers from Authentique Uncommon bundle for the hearts, as well as a Rose Red dp from long ago. They are cut/embossed with Spellbinders scalloped hearts. The sentiment is stamped onto the white panel with Rose Red ink before embossing with the Damask folder. The edges are MS Doily Lace punch. Just a touch of ribbon is added to the one heart. The edge of the pink card front is also stamped with a flourish from Rubbernecker's Love Set.

Stamps: Love Set SKU 545, Petite Happy Valentine's Day SKU 28-04

I want to be a cowgirl!

And why wouldn't you? After all, you get to look at cowboys! Mmmmm, doggie! hee hee hee

This is a sneak peek of a new set being released tomorrow by MFP called Cowgirls Rule. I stamped the boots image using black memento ink and colored with Copic markers. I then added the sentiment which is inked with markers. The pink panel at the bottom is embossed with Woodgrain folder and then I sponged on a little of the Victorian Velvet ink, then added the twine. I also added a little knot of the twine above the sentiment.



Be sure to come back tomorrow for the beginning of the blog hop showcasing four new stamp sets from MFP. It's gonna be fun!

Design Team Call

Hey y'all! Wanna be on a design team? A great design team! I'm talking Rubbernecker's Design team! There is a new call out for designers. CLICK HERE for all the information!

It's Thursday - again!

It is Thursday and that means I have a post on the Rubbernecker Stampin' Sisterhood blog. It's pink and I used the lovely Quilted Heart image. Pop over and take a peek!

Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek of a new stamp set which will be released next week. Be sure to come back for the hop. You might even win a free stamp set!

The heart is stamped onto white using Gathered Twigs distress ink and colored with Copic Markers. I then airbrushed the border around the entire card front. I then added the Baja Breeze panel which was stamped with the sentiment. I love the flexibility of the clear stamps, which enabled me to make it curved like this. I embossed it with white ep. I then stamped the heart again onto white cardstock and embossed with white before cutting it out and coloring it with Copic markers and adding it to the sentiment panel. The leaves are die cut with Spellbinders Foliage die and added to the card front. I colored the seam binding with the Copic markers I had used on the image, spritzed with alcohol, scrunched and tied into the bow. I added the cute little fairy charm which is also from MFP.

I hope you like it. Who doesn't like pansies??? And hearts???? hee hee hee

Stamp: You are Cherished by MFP
Copic Markers: R20, YG63, R39

Butterfly Blossom

Can you see the butterflies? Oh, they are there.Can you see it? The flower is made by layering a die cut Dahlia and then three of the butterflies cut from designer paper and adding a gem for the center. This card is large - 5-1/2" square. It had to be for this large blossom. There is an embossed panel behind the ribbon. The flourishes are from Rubbernecker's two part flourish.

Rubbernecker Two Part Flourish 546-01, Happy Birthday Square 565-19

Textile Texture embossing folder, Spellbinders Dahlia, Foliage and Fanciful Flight.

Put Christmas away!

I am ready for Christmas to be put away, so I created a card without Christmas or winter images or colors. Click here to be taken to the Stampin' Sisterhood blog to see what I created!

Wet but not wild!

How was your New Year? Mine was less than wild - going to bed by 10 PM, nursing a cold. Boooo! I didn't get many Christmas cards sent out this year either, so I think I may need to make more of these Happy New Year cards.

The lower strip is beaded with light blue beads and then I added the dark blue glitter to meet the color challenge and fill in the gaps.



The snowman is stamped onto white card stock using gathered twigs distress ink. I masked him and then airbrushed the background using torn paper to make the clouds. I hand wrote the sentiment. I then stamped the snowflakes over the whole image using Bashful Blue and then adding some embossed white ones too. For the wet, I added glue and dazzling diamonds for the ground. The white embossed snowflakes look wet as well.

Happy New Year everyone.
