Aged Thank You

The last card I CASEd from Jenny Peterson  .  Again I used DSP instead of stamped Card Stock.  I used the brayer in Crumb Cake ink to "dirty" the DSP so it was not so bright.  I cut a slot under the Framelit and DSP layer to wrap the thread around.  The button is held on with a few glue dots.

Imagine

Super fun to make, but if you stare at it too long you will get dizzy.  Maybe I should put a warning on the envelope. Lol  I did sponge some White Craft Ink on the sentiment.

This offer is only good until the next one posts or this one sells (whichever comes first).

Aged Candle

So SU Demos get a magazine a few times a year and in the magazine they feature a Demo.  I think this one was in the June/July issue.  I loved the colors and the designs. It took me a few months to get around to CASEing (Copy and Steal Everything) the cards.  I had to make a few changes to make it work with what I had.  It was CASEd from Jenny Peterson.

I think I sponged Crumb Cake around every edge of every thing on this card.

Aged Doily

Ohhh, these are the colors that I love!  I was going through the catalog looking for any items I may have missed.  I can go through it over and over and over again and still find something new that I just have to have.  Anyway....I saw we sold Crumb Cake envelopes!  So why did I not have them in my stash?!?!?!  So I placed my order and had to set to it to make a bunch of cards to go in those envelopes....now I am going to have to place another order to get more Crumb Cake Card Stock. ;-)

As you can tell by looking, I am not a really big Whisper White user.  I tend to grab the Very Vanilla more than anything.  I love the Tea Lace Doilies, but they are white.   So I have a spritzer bottle all set with Rubbing Alcohol and Crumb Cake Re-inker.  I just give a spritz ( the darker I want it the more spritz or more re-inker drops.

The larger of the butterflies does have a Early Espresso butterfly glued flat to the card stock.  The shading is partly from that and how the sun hit it.  I also ran a very thin strip of Early Espresso under the Thinking of You just to make it stand out a bit more.  I have seen many cards lately that have random pearls and rhinestones put in places.  I decide to give it a try and it was a great space filler where I wanted it to be.

Ok, so this card got away from me.  It is much busier than I usually do but I like it enough to send it out (many cards do not make it that far Lol..I am my own hardest critic) so it will make it on here too. Lol  I already told you that now that school has started I do not have a lot of time during the day to stamp and my thought process was disturbed quite a few times during the making of this card.  I tried to wait until the high schooler went in town for band but then the other kids had a million questions...never fails.

I sponged across the raised back panel to give it more dimension and so the layers in front did not blend in too much,  I could use butterflies on every card but I have to force myself not to. Lol

Silver Moose

I had mentioned this tip a while back and someone asked me to give more detail.  I love the Framelits but sometimes the space between is just too much, so this will give you a smaller gap.

I used the Six Sided Sampler was used for the inside of the Build-a-Brad.  I rubbed a sponge of Smoky Slate over the embossed image to shadow it a bit more.

Finally About You

Since school has started once again my schedule is very limited.  I have not had a chance to stamp for about a week + now and it shows. ;-)  I got up this morning and told the kids that I wanted them to work on their own as much as possible so I could try to ,make a card.  I loved the sketch challenge today and really wanted to put it to use.  The kids did fairly well.  I had to answer questions every now and then but their education is my priority right now so I made it work.  The card took a bit longer than usual but I got it done.  I will have to start taking pictures of the insides and envelopes too.  I usually get them done later and forget to add them here, so stop again and look for that!  I had said when I started that I was not going to use the eclips on this card but as it progressed I really wanted a small flower there and the only way I was going to get one was if I did.  I used the Blossom Punch from MDS brought it into my program, re-sized it to where I wanted it and cut.

Ok, I messed up and grabbed the wrong ink for the top of the card....I told you I was busy, but really just wanted to get it done.  It adds a bit?
