Tuesday Tip . . . .


Even though I will be showing a lot of Valentine cards in the coming weeks, remember you can take inspiration from any card and change it to suit your needs. If you like a card, ask yourself what you like about it? Is it the colors, the layout, the details? Once you figure out what you are responding to, you can create any card you will love.
In the card above I really like the sewing detail, the red and vanilla contrast, and the definition stamp. You will most likely see this sort of card base again, only the circle will be different.

Paper: Real Red CS #102482, Very Vanilla CS #101650, Baja Breeze CS #111352, In Color DSP pack #hostess

Finish it UP! Friday



I started making this card in SEPTEMBER! I had to finish it up. I thought it would be a nice thing to give to the teacher at the beginning of the year. Now, it will be an end of year card.
This was a project. Kind of like sewing a garment...cut out the pattern, piece it, ink the edges, put it all together.
This is a Lynn Pratt project and well worth the $5 for the instructions and patterns. She is an amazing artist......Her blog is Stamp-n-Design http://stampndesign.blogspot.com/

Thursday . . . .


I know I am a broken record this week, but I had a hard time making cards. This one I really like. The technique? I created my own printed paper. I stamped and colored the background paper. I really like the way it turned out. It isn't a quick card, but I wasn't in a rush to figure out the next card, so this was a perfect project for me.

I used:
Paper: Basic Black CS #121045, Whisper White CS #100730
Stamps: Because I Care -hostess
Ink: Bashful Blue #105111, Perfect Plum #100035, Pear Pizzazz #119801, Blender Pen #102845
Other: Striped Ribbon #115615, brads #119736

Wednesday - Cards I Love. . . .

I love this card. I love this stamp set. My one complaint is that SU didn't include any cute, punny, sentiments. They name the set Sew Suite and don't include 3 or 4 punny sentiments. So, I am forced to computer generate my own. I love the way this one turned out. Both images were fussy cut and one was popped up on dimentionals.

I used:
Paper: Wild Wasabi CS #108641, Basic Black CS #121045, Sweet Stitches DSP #121781, Whisper White CS #100730
Stamps: Sew Suite #122009
Ink: StazOn Black #101406
Other: White Taffeta Ribbon #109070, Button #119745, computer generated sentiment

Tuesday Tip....

I haven't had any card Mojo. Zip. Every card in the past week has been like pulling teeth. Sadly, I had a 6 new stamp sets, new paper and other goodies to play with and no inspiration. I had to just jump in and play with the new stuff. This is not my favorite card, but I love the fabric covered brad. I think the colors are cheery and happy. I think I may learn to like this set, but it will take some time.

I used:
Paper:  Regal Rose CS #105130, Wild Wasabi CS #108641, Whisper White CS #100730, Sweet Stitches DSP #121781
