Wild Roses

 Today's card is on the same style as the last two days....

 

This is another Flourishes stamp set called Wild Roses.... I've used it many times but never like this, and love the look.... Think I'll be doing more like this with different colored flowers... 

 

 

and here's the inside... I embossed and colored  this and still have plenty of room to write...

What' Next?

Single Flower

 Today I tried the same thing I did yesterday but with a different stamp....

 

I used the same Glossy White for the base card... and Desert Storm for the flower with white embossing again.  

I love this one too....

 

And this is the inside.... I love it too..... 

What do you think?

Somethin New!

 Yesterday I tried something new for me....

1. For my card base I used some Glossy White card stock.
2. I did White embossing on Desert Storm CS.
3. I colored it with one color.
4. and then embossed Velum. 

Yep, and I loved how it turned out....

 

You really cant tell the white is glossy cs but it is... and looks beautiful...I had bought this Glossy CS years ago to print pics on but never did..... so though I'd try it here... 

Now the flowers are an Old stamp set from Flourishes called Happy Thoughts... and just stamped it twice on both ends of my Desert Storm CS with Versa and did the white embossing... same thing with the Happy birthday.  The pink is from ZIG pen/brushs.... then I cut away the bottom and top just a little and I did use a green pen to go around the outer edge.... and that was it... .

 

Here's a closer look at it....

 

and then the inside I did it the same way... just stamped it with Versa ink but no embossing and colord the top flowers and left the bottme plain so it's easer to write over.... 

But that was it...

For me to get a card finished in an hour is really something but that was all it took... it all just fell into place...

Train Card

Today I'm show a card I copied from Jenny's blog "One Krafty Kat" 
I've had this stamp set by Stampin-up for years called Happiness is a Journey but always struggled on how to use it... always loved the train image but for some reason I always though there should be something more I can do with this.... 
So here's my take on Jenny's card.

here's my front view.... I used fun foam behind the main piece with the leaves on it and also behind the train...

I think you can see the domination better on this view... 

here's the inside, very simple...

Card in a Box for Mother's Day

Today I finished my Mom's Mother's day card..... I made her a card in a box... she loves 3-D card so I know she is going to love this one....I found this last year on a blog by Tina Weller she even has a video on this link.  She made several different ones all very pretty, much more so than mine...

My first couple of pics are with the card closed, you'll see a little blue clip in the middle to get the pic of how it will look when she pulls it out of the envelope. So pretend the little blue clip is not there....

this is the front, I need to add Happy Mother's Day yet......maybe in the clouds.

this is the back.... 

so as soon as I take the clip off or pull it out of the envelope it starts to open like this.........

Here's how it looks from the front.....

the side view......

and the back, here you can add your love......

so now I'm ready for Mom's day..... I'll have to get her a real plant too of course.  She may like this card more thow because she won't have to water this....

Mindscapes......

Will now this is a bit different for me.... I've had these little creatures made since April of 2012.. as you can see below.....Now you might ask, why did I never finish the project... I started to several times but never liked the look that I was creating... so there they sat in a bag....

Yep, you guessed it I just happened on them this week and though I really need to do something with these little guys... so here we go.
The stamp set is by Inkadinkado called Mindscapes-99121, and used it several times with great success. Here's my try for today;

If you visit often you will notice I changed my background and foreground.... not sure if I like that or not...

but here are all the little creatures all colored up bright with markers and ready to be seen. With all of them I went with a clean look all white background with just a strip of colored paper to add interest.  Then just added the words to each one. 

The white paper is pop up with fun foam, and used dimensionals under the wings and places that need lift.

Sorry for the washout coloring on all these... I think it's the white background setup that I changed..... 

and here can you see the birds in the wings and body of the dragonfly???

Can you see the butterfly wings on this humming bird and even a little butterfly in the tail???

on the butterfly it's got fairy's in the wings and body.......

and this little Ladybug has a little dragonfly near the head of the body....

These are so much fun to look and play with I know I'll be using them again.

Happy Belated Birthday

You know for a card maker you would think I would remember to send cards... will not true!!
Here's one I made with that though in mind;

I used one of new Clean and Simple styles I found on Yep! you guessed it; Maile Belles blog.  It's the last one in this post she did.... mine is a little different but do love this quick and easy way to make cards.  I really like the buttons but after I had them on it really made the card too thick,,,,,sooooooo,,,next time I may try putting the buttons in with the HB by CTMH... the Paisley is from another old CTMH set called You've got Flair and then I just used colored pens to color it. 

here's a side view so you can see the layers better. Not sure if you can see it but I went around the white paper with a dark gray pen just to make it stand out more... 

And the inside, love this saying by Rubbernecker called -Cards on time....... 

Then I used the other half of the gray strip from the front of the card here on the inside taped down flat.

Two Sympathy Cards

I've been trying to make some cards ahead and never have Sympathy cards when I need them so here's two I have now, which I hope not to use any time soon.

The one on the left is very simple, card base is Desert by Neenah that I embossed with wood grain, added a piece of leafy print paper, then just the tag with a few words.

The card on the right I used the same Desert by Neenah for the card base then layered brown and white that I stamped with Cornish Heritage Farms stamp called Trees Backgrounder, added a strip of washie tape and glued string on each side of it, added the tag.

the inside I matched with the same papers and stamps I used on the fronts. And stamped the sayings by MFT.

i'm thinking of you

Today I tried something new for me, it's a very clean and simple design that I've been seeing on Maile Belles blog.  Take a look at this beautiful card Maile did it's the 4th on down, and then see how I tried it.

I tried to get the same colors going and do like this combo.  the stamps are an OLD SU set called True Friend. and the paper is also Old SU called Fall Flowers, the button is just an old button I had in a jar.

When I cut the striped paper I secured that flat on the card base, but the white piece I popped up using a sheet of Sticky Back Foam sheets, boy is stuff works great!!!! 

Here you can see the saying I created on my PC and then cut using MFT die and then sliced it long ways and popped both pieces up. It's funny how it's white on white but with it being popped up it really shows up.

and here's the inside where I used another MFT flag die and sliced it too.  I had to make it match right??

Will let me know what you think and be sure to visit Maile's blog! She does Beautiful work.  I know I'll be tyring more of her style!

As Bad as I LOOK.........

Here's another Get Well card that will bring a smile to your face I hope!

I just love this stamp set... I added the floor tiles and line up the middle so it looked like a wall.  The stamp is by Rubbernecker called Edna in Moring 562-06, and the saying is call Bad as I look 563-04. Had to get them both, right???? 

this side view lets you see that I popped up the red background paper as will as the stamped image and saying. For the background paper I used something new for me to pop it up, Sticky back foam sheets there 6x9 and 2mm thick...it came in a pack of 40 sheets and multi-color pack.  Next time I go to Joann's or Hobby Lobby I'm going to see if  it comes in packs of white only... I had see a few gals using the fun foam sheets to pop up there work so I had to try it... and I must say I LOVE it.  It cuts just like paper and you can use it with your dies too. 

Here's the inside, I just used the leftover of yellow to make a border... no saying yet, I'll wait till I know who and what it's for first.

Ruff Time

I'm really on a roll for these Get Well cards.... I never seam to have one when I need it....
Today's is a Double;

First I made the purple card and just did not like it... to much going on for me..... so I went in the other direction all white for the second card and I like that much better. But I'm going to keep them both I know there both be cute for someone.

The little pooch is from a SU-Wellness Wishes/115356 and the saying is by MFT-Puppy Girl. 

I used the Fun Foam on the back to pop up the layers and tie some baker twin around with a bow.  

I think you can see the layers better in this pic.  Yes he's kind of plan but I like him....

and here's my purple pooch... same stamp set and the saying came with it.  

here you can see how I have the pooch and the saying popped up and a peek of the inside too....

the inside I left blank again... used the die cuts leftover from the front for the inside.

Poppies....

I should have posed this around Valentines but some how it slipped by.... I had the pic ready to post even thow I already gave the card to my Mom...
Here we go;
Mom LOVE's Poppies and needless to say she really Loved her card........

I did not have a TRUE red... now how could that be you ask....will I though it was RED but when I started coloring it just looked pinkie to me but I kept adding and this was as red as I could make them.  

I stamped & colored them twice because I wanted to pop some of them up after fuss cutting them.  

The stamp is by Inkadinkado called "Poppies" H97896, the embossing folder is Sizzix-Loving Thoughts-657667, and the die is Spellbinders Lattice S4-210.  

here you can see the poppies popped up a little, as will as the Lattice die. 

the inside I stamped the a bamboo color and cut the border using Lattice S4-218. and stamped a short verse about Money and Chocolate.... two of Mom's favorites topics. 

She had a good laugh at the verse and loved the card too... she still has it sitting out in fact.

Sick Pooch

A while back I colored several dog stamps I had and decided to make this card with one of them....

is that not a face you could just kiss..... he just has the look. I cut him out using my largest fishtail flag die by MFT and then cut some more using different sizes...even the little "Heard you're sick" is on the smallest flag. I did sponge around everything.

Here's a side view, you might be able to see the print background paper is popped up as will as the dog flag.

the inside I've left bland for now.  When I cut the flag for the inside I was going to put a different color on the inside of it, then decide to just sponge around it like this and put it right back in place... I like that look. 

That's it, what do you think?
