Hello and welcome. Today’s card is another experiment for me. While going through some You Tube videos for lattice cards I came across a Faux Lattice video by Rita Holmes. Sorry, I didn’t save the page and now I can’t find it again.
The double-sided pp used is from a (not so recent) 6×6 Stampin Up book. Stamped die cut image is Gina K’s Tropical Blooms. My not so good coloring was done with Copic and Stampin Up’s Stamp and Blend markers. Sentiment was printed on the computer. Not really knowing what to do for a little interest on the top panel I tried using a small circle punch to punch out the center of the flowers on the scrap piece of the floral side of the pp. I think they look ok. I like the idea of the pp on the top inside flap.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate your visits. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
More is Best! That’s the motto of our granddaughter when she makes her cards. So when the challenge of using more than one fold came up with Cardz 4 Galz I felt like this was made for the upcoming eleven year old .
My card is a double gate fold card…two folds folded back on themselves so does that count as four folds? Scored my card, found some cute patterned paper from my stash and then searched for this tropical flamingo image from Great Impressions.
Here’s where the more comes into play with a second Great Impressions tropical foilage circle was included on the right side gate fold.
And yes there is even the most for this sweetie. The inside was stamped using Hula Cat from The Cat’s Pajamas and Aloha Diva from Gina K Designs. The 11th die cut was made using Concord & 9th’s double cut dies. Some bling on all portions completes my card today that will be shared with:
Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my favorite son-in-law. Our daughter and her hubby have birthday’s one day apart.
Card is a shaped card file from the Silhouette. Once all the pieces were cut, I just had to put them together. It was quite easy. Card stock is Crum Cake from Stampin Up, pp is The Paper Studio, twine from my stash, sentiment is from Gina K’s Birthday Blessings. My next card will be for their anniversary, a week before the birthdays.
Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate you taking the time to visit. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
I have been guest designing for the color challenges each Tuesday in June, at Splitcoast Stampers. I have enjoyed creating each card using specific colors.
CC951 used the colors Berry Burst, Shaded Spruce, and Lemon Lolly with the dessert of flowers. I used Berry Burst for the brick wall and the center flower. Shaded spruce was used on each flower stem. I do not own Lemon Lolly, so I substituted Gina K Designs Lemon Drop. I added neutrals of Misty Moonlight for the sky and Crumb Cake for the top of my fence and a background layer. The flowers are from the Art Gallery set.
CC952 had colors of Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana, and Granny Apple Green. The dessert was using a die cut or punch. My cupcake is a triplets die designed by Stephanie Bernard for Sizzix, very retired. I found the greeting in a Gina K Designs set along with the stars. The small greeting is from a SU set. This was fun to create.
CC953 used the colors Balmy Blue, Azure Afternoon, and Sweet Sorbet with the dessert of added a favorite green. I used a mixture of Lawn Fawn Jalapeño and Freshly Cut Grass for my leaves. I used the stamp set Fresh Cut Flowers with coordinating dies for my flower. The hello is from a My Favorite Things set. I ran the Azure Afternoon rectangle layers through the Subtle embossing folder as they needed a bit of texture. I am quite happy with this card.
CC954 uses the colors Blueberry Bushel, Real Red, and white with a dessert of patriotic. My flag card uses Stamp Simply Grand Old Flag set. I added stars to the background with Lawn Fawn star dies. I embossed the background first with the SU stars folder. I have made this kind of card several times over the last few years and all went to a nursing home.
My door card has a wreath made the the challenge colors. I saw this wreath on Pinterest and added my own spin with the door. This door is from Holiday Frame and Holiday Frame fillers illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger.
I enjoyed creating for this months color challenges. All are available to participate in as the challenges never close. Thanks for reading all about my month of guest designing and what I created.
I’ve been working on cards for an upcoming bridal shower. Using Michael’s Shimmery white cardstock and a Sizzix embossing folder for my background panel, then die cut Memory Box’s Enchanted Heart twice for my focal image. I added teeny, tiny, little pieces of foam strips between the two die cut hearts for some dimension, added a tiny flower “layered sticker” to the center and adhered to my card. I wasn’t sure of a sentiment but decided on this red rubber stamp from a Gina K Designs stamp set.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. It’s been quite a weather pattern lately with lots of rain/sun/rain/thunderstorms and repeat tomorrow and maybe Wednesday, too. Take care, be safe and stay cool.
Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our daughter’s 50th birthday. I had made one of these peek-a-boo cards for our son’s 50th so our daughter gets one too.
Papers are all The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby, ovals are Spellbinders Scalloped and Classic ovals. Numbers are from the Silhouette, doubled with Glossy Accents on them. Photo corners are from a hand punch then I ran them through a dots embossing folder. Inside sentiment was printed on the computer then fussy cut with a decorative scissors. Her 50 year picture is a selfie.
Another debossed background using Archival Brilliance Pearlescent Purple ink on the raised portion of the SimonSaysStamp Wildflower Field 3D embossing folder. While attempting this techinque, I, like another stamp buddy made several backgrounds trying to figure it out. The embossed panel is Gina K Designs LemonDrop and instead of adding the same color ink with a brayer I decided to swipe the ink pad in a deeper shade over the debossed panel to cover up the pearlescent purple ink. The butterfly is Taylored Expressions Beautiful Butterflies die & foil combo and sentiment is also a TE that was previously stamped and die cut. Butterflies seem to make everything better, don’t they?
The Father’s Day card for my son this year was made using Taylored Expressions Create in Quads Abstract layering stencils and their Foil It Panels. The Create in Quads makes four different design panels in one pass after using all 4 stencils. An add on item is the Foil It panels which I ran through my laminator with foil. My sentiment is an older wood mounted red rubber stamp from my stash. My son’s in law card was from a different panel but alas I forgot to take a photo of it before mailing.
After watching Jennifer McGuire’s New Embossing Folder Technique on YouTube today, I decided to give it a try. The technique is to use a silver pigment ink on the raised side of the embossing folder, run through your machine and then brayer ink of the same color as your cardstock on top. I didn’t have any silver pigment ink so I tried Archival Brillance Pearlescent Purple ink which gave me some shine and lightness on the debossed sections of the panel. The 3D embossing folder is SimonSaysStamp’s Floral Field, SSS Cosmo Flower Petals and Script Hello dies and Gina K Designs Wild Lilac ink completed my card.
My card today will be entered into the Color Challenge with:
