Just A Note To Say

 

My card today was created for the latest Fusion Card Challenge. To create my card I started by stamping the music notes from the Kaisercraft Sheet Music border stamp directly onto my white A2 card base using Versafine onyx black ink. I stamped the sentiment from Skipping Stones Design Heartsong I stamp set to the right above the border. I then stamped the flowers from the Papertrey Ink Funky Flowers stamp set using red, yellow, and black inks from Gina K Designs. I fussy cut them out and popped them up off of the card using 3M foam tape. To finish off my card I added some multi sized black gems I got from Simon Says Stamp in various places around the card and in the centers of each flower. Thank you for stopping by my blog today!

Let It Snow

Hello, happy Saturday! Today's card was created for the latest Fusion Card Challenge and Addicted To Stamps And More challenge. To create my card I started by layering a piece of white cardstock that I had embossed using a Paper Studio snowflake embossing folder onto my A2 card base. I then cut strips of patterned paper from the American Crafts North Pole 6x6 paper pad and adhered them onto the card following the sketch. I die cut a circle using a stitched edge circle die from My Favorite Things and stamped the adorable image from My Favorite Things Merry Kissmas mini stamp set using Memento tuxedo black ink. I colored the image using my Copic markers and added some fun details with my Sakura jelly roll white gel pen. To finish my card I popped the die cut focal panel up off of the card using 3M foam tape. 

 

Coffee Is Always A Good Idea

 

Hello and happy Sunday! Today's card was created for the latest Fusion Card Challenge. This card has absolutely no stamping on it!! This entire card was created from papers from the Echo Park Coffee 6x6 paper collection. I started by layering the chalkboard black and white patterned paper directly onto my A2 white card base leaving an 8th of inch white border around the edges for some visual contrast. I then layered an olive diamond grid paper vertically to the left and a black and white buffalo check strip horizontally onto the papers for some nice visual interest. I die cut a circle of some of the solid patterned paper in the pad using a My Favorite Things pierced edge circle die and adhered a sentiment I had fussy cut from one of the sentiment sheets. I also fussy cut the girl and popped them both up off of the card using some 3M foam tape. I adhered a small semi-circle behind the girl's head that I had punched out with a Fiskar's punch to complete my card. This is one of the easiest cards I've put together in a long time but I love the end results!

Nautical Celebrate

My second card today was created for the latest Fusion Card Challenge. To create my card I started by adhering some textured navy cardstock from Hobby Lobby onto my white A2 card base and then layered some fun nautical patterned paper from Pink & Main's Beach Bum 6x6 paper pad on top. I added a sliver of the navy cardstock between the two patterned papers to break up the busyness of the papers. I then stamped the boat from Unity Stamp Company's Celebrate stamp set onto some white cardstock using Gina K Design navy ink and fussy cut it out. I stamped the image again and cut the star out and adhered it directly onto the image. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Gina K Design navy and cranberry red inks. I popped the boat image up off of the panel using foam squares from Scrapbook Adhesives and adhered it directly above the sentiment. I matted the panel using more of the same navy cardstock and adhered it directly to the card panel following the featured sketch. I love how it turned out. If you like it too be sure to leave a comment and thank you for visiting my blog today! 

Have A Frapp-A-Licious Day!

Hello, and happy Memorial Day weekend to you! Today's card was created for the latest Fusion Card Challenge and the 2018 Spring & Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop. I loved both the colors and the layout on the Fusion Card Challenge so tried to incorporate a bit of both in my card. To create my card I started by layering some pretty patterned papers from the Amy Tangerine Ready Set Go 6x6 paper pad onto my card base following the sketch. Using more of the same patterned papers I stamped the travel mug from the My Style Stamps Coffee Lovers stamp set and fussy cut the images out, lined the edges with my Memento tuxedo black dual tip maker and popped it up off of the card using some fun foam from Hobby Lobby. I added some black dashed lines around the inner focal panel of the card and then added some gorgeous sequins from The Ton as a finishing touch! I hope you like my fun and whimsical card and thank you for visiting my blog. Have a safe and happy weekend!

You Make An Ugly Sweater Look Good

Today's card was created for the latest Fusion Card Challenge. I chose to stick to the sketch only on this one. I love the simplicity of it but chose to turn mine on its side for a landscape card. I started by layering some cherry cobber cardstock from Stampin' UP onto my white card base and then cut a smaller panel of patterned paper from the American Crafts Wish List 6x6 paper pad down and adhered it directly onto the card. I stamped the sweater image from Simon Says Stamps Ugly Sweater stamp set onto some Copic-friendly cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink. I then stamped the Christmas tree from the same stamp set onto the image and colored it in using my alcohol markers. I die cut a fun x-stitched edge circle using a Gina Marie Designs die and then adhered it directly onto the card. Using my mini-Misti I lined the sentiment up onto the card and stamped them right where I wanted them. I fussy cut the sweater image out and popped it up off of the focal panel using Stampin' UP foam dimensionals. I added some shimmer to the sentiment and a few select images by using my At You Spica clear shimmer pen and then added some Stickles to the ornaments and some of the elements on the sweater. I love this fun and whimsical card!

Beautiful

I bought this beautiful stamp during a recent Unity Stamp's Angie Girls sale and have yet it ink it up until today. I stamped the Go Get It Girl image out onto some Copic friendly white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink and colored her taking color inspiration from my patterned paper. I die cut the image using a My Favorite Things pierced oval die and then traced the oval again onto some pink patterned paper from the American Crafts Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm 6x6 patterned paper pad and cut it out. I didn't want it to have the same pierced edge. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set and cut it down into a strip and mounted it onto a larger strip of the same pink patterned paper. I took a gorgeous piece of the geometric paper from the same paper pad and mounted it onto my card base. I adhered the sentiment strip, my focal pieces and some butterflies I die cut using the Stampin' UP embosslit Beautiful Wings. I added some black dashed lines around the card, the sentiment, and the focal panel and then some clear rhinestones from Paper Studio onto the butterflies and the flowers in her hair. Love how beautifully this turned out! I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
