Hello

by | May 13, 2013 | Uncategorized

 
Hi Friends,
My card today uses the stamp set, My Friend.  This is the first time I’ve used the hello sentiment from it.  It is so pretty in person with all the swirls.  I think I will be using it more often!  My background paper is from the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper pack from the Spring catalog.  You can only purchase this paper until May 31st.  It comes with so many pretty papers.  There are 48 sheets and each sheet is 4-1/2 x 6-1/2 inches.  
If you would like to order any of the products used to make my card, you can visit my online store HERE.  
Thank you for stopping by!

One More Mother’s Day Card

by | May 12, 2013 | Uncategorized

Here’s one more Mother’s Day card to show you.  I made this one for my terrific mother-in-law, Pat!  It is also done using the Color Wash technique.  I decided to make her flowers pink so I used Melon Mambo.  You can’t see the little pearls in the center of each flower but they are there!

Have a wonderful day!!!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!!!  Today is our youngest daughter’s first Mother’s Day!!  You can see a cute picture of Erin and Audrey below.

This is the card that I made for Erin.  She loves purple so the flowers were painted using Elegant Eggplant. The card base is Elegant Eggplant too!

Thought I would include a picture of me with my wonderful mom many years ago.  Happy Mother’s Day!!

Mother’s Day Card

by | May 11, 2013 | Uncategorized

Hi Friends!
Today I have a Mother’s Day card for you!  I used the stamp set Fabulous Florets, one I have to admit I have had for some time but have rarely used.  I used the Color Wash technique.  I embossed my flowers and then painted them with Whisper White craft ink.  After it dried, I used my Rich Razzleberry stamp pad and my Aqua Painter and finished coloring my flowers.  My sentiment looks crooked – that is driving me crazy – but in person it is straight.  🙂  It is hard to see in the photo but I also added some pearls in the center of each flower.  The stamp set I used, Wonderful Mother, is retiring so get it now if you like it!

I’m giving this card to my mom for Mother’s Day – I know she won’t see this post before I give it to her.   I have another Mother’s Day card that I will show tomorrow!

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

Tracy

Oh, Hello

by | May 10, 2013 | Uncategorized

Hi Friends!
Today’s card is one that was inspired by a card I saw in Stampin! Success, a magazine for demonstrators.  It uses the Honeycomb embossing folder for the Big Shot which has become one of my favorite folders.  The stamp set I used is Oh, Hello.  I stamped the chevron pattern in Crumb Cake and used my Oval Framelits and Big Shot to cut it out.  To color the flower I used my Gumball Green and Elegant Eggplant Stampin’ Write markers and applied the color directly to the stamp.  It is such an easy way to get different colors on a stamped image.  I made a little bow with Linen Thread and adhered it with a two-way glue pen.  I used dimensionals to apply the honeycomb layer to my card base to give it extra dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

My Stamp Club ladies made this card when we met this week.  You can find a very similar card in the Stampin’ Up! catalog on page 190.  I saw this version on Sandy Hancock’s blog and fell in love with it.  It is simple but beautiful!!
