Relax

I have a very dear friend who had a heart scare and is one of those people who just goes, and goes, and goes no matter what.  So I wanted to make him a special card.  Of course I had planned on using one of my new sets, but I could not think of a design I wanted so I hit the gallery at Splitcoaststampers. I found a card by the wonderful Michelle Zindorf and it took off from there.  I cannot for the life of me use my brayer to get anything to look like hers so I used my sponges (and it still looks no where near as beautiful as hers) but I am happy enough to send it out.

Card Details:

Stamps: Sweets for Sweets

Paper: Poppy Parade, Not Quiet Navy, Whisper White

Ink: Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, Soft Suede

Accessories: Big Shot, Framed Tulip Impressions Folder, Naturally Serif Alphabet Die, Island Indigo 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon

Congratulation Graduate

So I am hooked on the Tri-Shutter Cards that I just had to make another one.  I thought how fun would it be to do a graduation one.  To see the tutorial on Splitcoast click here.  The tassel is just very finely cut paper with the end left intact and placed under a brad.  The C is on Dimensionals to pop it up.  The diploma is just Very Vanilla Card stock rolled up, tied and curled up the edges and held on with glue dots.  Off to make some more!

Train Birthday

So I took some time out of my busy house face lifting day to make a card. I am getting so rusty that I went straight to the Sketch challenge for Wednesday to give me a boast. After seeing the sketch I knew exactly which set I wanted to use. We have lots of train lovers in our family and extended family so this set was a must. I stamped the train with Night of Navy Craft ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. The letters I cut out with the Big Shot. I love how easy they are to apply with the glue pen. Hopefully next week I will have less to do and more time to stamp. The tile is laid and tomorrow we finish grouting. Hopefully I can move my furniture back in from the deck this weekend!

ETA: Ok, I was in such a hurry to get this card together this afternoon that I just now (8 hrs later) noticed that I have one of my p's and the d turned around. Oh, well at least I can fix it on the card....
