Because I Care Card

New Technique!!

I haven't tried a new technique in a while and I was excited to do this one!



Supplies: Elmer's glue, Baja Breeze & Wild Wasabi reinkers, Basic Gray ink, Nature Silouettes, Going Gray, Baja Bl, and Basic Gray Cardstock, silver brads, label and oval punch
Directions: Place dots of glue across your white cardstock and then smear with your finger. When this is dry dab your reinker on to a sponge and wipe across your cardstock. The glue won't catch as much ink giving you the neat effect. This will also take a while to dry but after it is dry you can stamp over it with your image.

This card is for my mom's birthday. I wanted to make her a special one so hopefully she won't be checking my blog this month!


Supplies: Elmer's glue, Crumb Cake, Rich Razzelberry, Cajun Craze reinkers, sponges, Early Espresson ink, Inspired by Nature Stamp Set, Scallop punch and accessories (here I used a clip and ribbon on the punched out label)

New Stamp Set!

Baby Boy Card

Cute Monkeys!

I like the monkeys in this stamp set, Fox and Friends
Supplies: Gala DSP, Espresso, Marina Mist, Daffodil, Cherry inks, Pear Pizzaz Cardstk, Tag Punch and a Brad, Stampin Dimensional, Emobssing folder and big shot, Espresso ribbon

I didn't use any fancy techniques, but just thought it was cute and easy. I cute the center monkey out and popped it with a Stampin Dimensional. Enjoy!

Happy I Do Card

THis card uses the new Marina Mist color.




Supplies: Marina Mist cardstock and ribbon, Greenhouse Gala Paper, Silver paper, Rhinestones, circle punches
For the rings I punched the smaller circle 1 1/4 out of the silver cardstock and then ringed it with the larger 1 3/8 punch.

Cherry Cobbler Card

Cherry Cobbler is my new favorite color. Pair it with Not Quite Navy and one of the browns or Very Vanilla and you have a beautiful card!

Supplies: Embossing folder, Cherry Cobbler ink and cardstock, Not Quite Navy cardstock, sponge, scallop circle punch, flower punch, button and hemp twine

The secret to this card is the embossing folder. Run your cardstock through and sponge Cherry Cobbler onto the raised impressions to make them stand out. The not Quite Navy flower has texture by crumpling the punched flower and then ripping a top layer off. Now your punched flower has two pieces and just layer them on top of each other with an adhesive. Finish with a button center and add a scallop punched saying.

Rock 'n' Roll Card

Supplies: Crushed Curry, Razzelberry, & Mambo Card stock and inks, Matching Razzelberry paper, Rhinestone brad, Extra die cut from the Matchbox die, white grosgrain ribbon, Circle Circus Stamp set

The fold on this card is 5.5 x 10.

Scored at 3 in and again at 7.25

To get the two toned effect on this card you take your stamp and ink it in your lighter ink first. Before you stamp it on your card stock bring your inked stamp to the darker color and roll and rock the sides of your stamp into the darker ink. Stamp your image. I used Crushed Curry and then Razzelberry on my image.

Reverse Embossing Rose Card

Does anyone notice a pattern in my last few entries? Can you tell I love the new colors, especially Razzelberry and Curry. I saw this technique on another blog and loved it!!

Supplies: Big Shot, Manhattan Embossing Folder, Brayer, Razzelberry and Melon Mambo ink, Razzelberry Card stock, and Whisper White and Old Olive Card stock

Run white card stock through your big shot placed inside the embossing folder. Cut the flower out and then turn upside down so raised edges are facing the table. Ink up your brayer first with one color and glide over flower a few times. Clean brayer and then ink with another color and repeat until flower is colored in with only the white edges remaining. Finally, cut out a couple of leaves in card stock, adhere, stamp greeting.
