Ever get a little stamper's block? We all do and I discovered using a sketch or color challenge can relieve the stress and get the wheels turning. Today's card was inspired by three challenges: SCS Color Challenge CC172 (Wild Wasabi, White, Taken With Teal), SCS Technique Lover's Challenge ("Hitting the Bottle" TLC174) and Poetic …
I had the luxury of a little extra time this past weekend which gave me the luxury of playing with a few more card making accents than usual. Taffeta Ribbon, Brads, Paper Piercing, Cuttlebug and a Scalloped Border were the perfect touches to this lively and feminine card. The long stemmed flower from Embrace Life …
Sometimes simplicity rules. Today’s post not only qualifies for my Stampin’ 911 category (can be created in less than 10 minutes), it is basic enough to be a "boy" card. TIP: Neutrals take the guess work out of deciding on masculine colors. Using the Wonderful You stamp set, I inked the stem in Basic Black …
Unfortunately, we all need sympathy cards. A handmade card for an occasion of sadness is, in my opinion, all the more thoughtful and sincere. This particular card is for a male friend (whose wife passed away last week). I took inspiration for my colors from this week's Splitcoast Color Challenge (CC 161), believing they conveyed …
I'm a huge polka dot fan and this zany card received plenty of them. If there's a two sided patterned paper, you can be certain I'll choose the polka side. But, what was I thinking when I decided to cut out this Brocade Basics stem? I must confess, at least half an hour went into …
The card base is Soft Sky Textured card stock. The large Brilliant Blue layer took a ride through my Cuttlebug with the Spots and Dots Embossing folder. I lightly brushed my fully open Whisper White Craft Ink Pad over the top to make the texture really pop. The whale was stamped with Black Stazon on …
Ever tried the 1/4" square punch? Sure it's great for punching out small letters and building words. However, this charming little punch has another hidden talent . . . . a quick and easy zigzag border. Just angle it sideways so that it makes a perfect triangle, lining up the bottom of your card stock …
I’m one of those card crafters who purchased her first order of eyelets and abandoned them like a hot potato. I do many of my projects late at night (I’ll bet there are many of you out there that can relate) and the pounding of the tools to set eyelets did not fit well into …
Stampin’ Up!’s Stem Silhouettes is such a classic set for so many occasions, especially those tough to create masculine cards. This project took less than 10 minutes from start to finish (you gotta love those punches, too) and will hopefully offer some kindness to a male friend whose father recently passed away. I feel so …
