Valentines Day

We all know Valentines Day is just around the corner, so I thought I would get a head start.

My husband and I don't exchange cards but I think it's a lovely tradition.

I adore working with sponging so I hope you like this card!

 

 

 

I started off with a piece of Very Vanilla Card stock, using your sponges blend Real Red from the bottom up to centre, then using So Safron sponge centre to top, ensure you go over some of the red in centre.

Sponge edges in Basic Black.

Stamp "Dictionary" stamp in Basic Black

Use the flowers out of "Serene Silhouettes" to stamp at the bottom.

For the sentiment piece, sponge in same way then I used stamp from "Lovely Romance"

Using the Apothecary Framelits cut out sentiment, also cut out 2 Basic Black Card stock, layer with dimensionals.

Add ribbon and candy dots and you are done.

Get Well Card

It's sad but have had request's for "Get Well" cards lately, this was made for a very special lady.

First I stamped in Versamark and Embossed in White on a piece of Whisper White card stock.

Then sponge different colours across page to blend into each other.

Wipe excess ink off the embossed area.

Add sentiment and you are done.

Male Cards

Well today was a gorgeous day here, I was going through the cards I had made lately and thought I should add a few to my blog.

Well actually - I was cleaning up my craft room and found a couple of hidden cards underneath lot's & lot's of scrap paper, stamp sets etc etc....LOL

Best of all I can see my work space again - YAY

Male cards can be quite hard when your mojo won't co-operate, anyway I came up with a tiled looking card.

Using painters tape ( oh my there I go again using this tape) randomly add three colours across a piece of Whisper White card stock.

Now stamp images all over the card stock.

Cut into equal pieces and you can place them randomly on the card stock as in picture.

Teena Maher at Stampin With Teena 

If so, you are in the right spot. If you get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

This is my project for the hop:

Well all I can say is I LOVE Black & White and this challenge came in handy because it's my Mothers birthday soon and wanted to make her something special. Well it was not original card made for the blog, I made a card for a customer and fell in love with it, so last minute change!

I hope you like this card!

First you will need a piece of card stock measuring 29cm x 14.5cm. Score in half at 14.5cm.

On the side you will use as the front, score from centre score line to outer edge to create triangle fold as below

Measurements for panels to apply:

Inside base: Card stock 14 cm x 14 cm

Designer Series Paper 13.5 cm x 13.5 cm

These are layered and then adhered on the square part of the base.

Triangle pieces: Card stock 14 cm x 14 cm

Designer Series Paper 13.5 cm x 13.5 cm

Then I cut them corner to corner to get perfect triangles.

You only need one of each, layer the 2 pieces together and adhere them to the Triangle part of the base that will be the front of your card

Rectangle panel at front:

Card stock piece 13.5 x 8 cm

Alternate piece of card stock: 13 cm x 7.5 cm

Adhere these together. They will stick out on an angle on the front of your card.

For the inside panel where sentiment is:

Card stock: 13 cm x 4.5 cm

Alternate card stock 12.5 cm x 4 cm

Layer these together then I adhered with dimensionals to the bottom square base.

 Cut 2 x large scalloped ovals (no 7) and 1 x number 6 from the Ovals Collection Framelits 

(I count the smallest oval in the set as number 1 then count out to largest)

Now stamp as you wish.

At the end of this blog you will see a full list of products used on this project

When you have stamped and decorated as you want, adhere all together as in picture below

Now you are ready to stamp your sentiment inside card

I hope you enjoy this card.
