Some cards I've made lately...

Hello my friends! My goodness, where the heck does the time go?? I know it flies, but I would like to know where it flies to, cuz I sure can't keep up with it!! It seems like I'm busy all the time, but I don't seem to be getting alot accomplished. Does anyone else have this problem? I sure hope I'm not alone!!! LOL

I have been so bad about posting, and I want to make it up to you today! YAYYYYY!
Today I'm going to treat you to a couple cards I've made lately. The first one is a pink and white Wedding card. It's made with Stampin Up's Kind and Caring Thoughts & Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets. I used Shimmery White and Piroette Pink cardstock and inks, along with cardstock vellum. I hope you like it.



My second card is also a wedding card. For this one I used Stampin Up's Heartfelt Thanks and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets. I used Whisper White and Basic Gray card stock. I embossed the flower with SU Silver embossing powder. I also used SU's white satin & sheer ribbon as well. I hope you enjoyed this one too. I love how it came out and hope you do too!



And lastly, this bright n' cheery card! I think these colors are to die for, you can't help but smile when you see them. The birds are from the Stampin Up stamp set called "The More, the Merrier". So cute!!! The paper is SU's Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Paper Series. Cute ribbon, huh? It's SU's Melon Mambo!! Such pretty colors. Let me know what you think of these three (3, count 'em!!) cards!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful stampin weekend!

Heartfelt Thanks

Hi Everyone! I've been having a struggle for the last week...my mojo did not want to create, infact it went on a break, I think! lol It's cold here, but not as cold as in Upstate New York) I just had to say that! hehe

Tonight I'd like to share with you a card I made using Stampin Up's Heartfelt Thanks stamp set. Finished card size is the A-2 standard card. Here's a summary of things I used to create the card. All products were Stampin Up.

Cardstock:
card base: Mellow Moss
layers: Brushed Gold, Not Quite Navy, Very Vanilla

Stamp Sets: Heartfelt Thanks, French Script Background Stamp, Canvas BG Stamp

Emboss Powder: Gold

Ink: Real Red, Not Quite Navy, Always Artichoke, Versa Mark

Tools: Slit Punch, Heat Gun

The first thing I did was cut my layers. Gold pieces are: 2 3/4" X 5 1/8", 4 1/8" X 2 5/8". Not Quite Navy pieces are: 2 1/2" X 4 7/8" and 3 7/8 X 2 3/8". Very Vanilla pieces are: 2 3/8 X 4 3/4, 2 3/16" X 3 3/4", 2" X 3". After I had all my layers sized and cut, the first thing I did was to stamp all my Very Vanilla Pieces with the Canvas BG stamp in Night of Navy. I didn't want it dark so I stamped off first. I randomly stamped the flower on the 2 largest Very Vanilla pieces, again using the "stamping off" technique. I stamped off, because I wanted soft colors on the flowers. Next, on the largest piece of Vanilla I stamped the French Script Background stamp in Versa Mark Ink, then sprinkled gold emboss powder on it & heat set. I did the same thing on the medium sized vanilla piece. I set that aside and picked up the smallest vanilla piece, I stamped the flower in Versa Mark Ink and covered with Gold emboss powder and heat set. Then I stamped off the flower and stamped it. I sponged very lightly around the flower with Not Quite Navy, then I inked up a silver brad with Real Red ink, pierced a hole and added my brad. I mounted all the Very Vanilla pieces onto the Brushed Gold. I placed them the way I wanted them onto the Mellow Moss, stamped a verse onto a 3x3 Very Vanilla piece inside the card. All done!

I hope I wrote that out understandbly for you...lol...if not, just email me if you have any questions.

I hope you all have a great Friday and have a chance to create something!
Happy Stampin!!!

As always,
