Thank you

After I made these cards I had some left over pieces of papers so used them to make cards for my donation box. They were simple thank you cards. The message is from the many thanks designer stamp set by Echo Park Paper Co. with tuxedo black ink

Stamp A Stack

Today we attended another SU workshop with one of the local stamping up demonstrators. We make 10 different cards using mainly occasion and sale-a-bration products.

For this card, petal palette set with garden green and fresh fig inks, the little flower was die cut with the matching die from petals & more thinlits and each has a pearl, we cut the window for the message with 1-3/4" circle punch

For this card, we used sweet soiree specialty DSP and silver foil sheet, cake soiree set with berry burst and old olive, decorative label punch, mounted on foam this piece, metallic-edge ribbon berry burst

For this card, we used heartfelt blooms sale-a-bration set with sweet sugarplum and tuxedo black inks, finely woven ribbon fresh fig, glitter enamel dots

For this card, we embossed one of the folders from petal pair textured impressions embossing folder we added color with daubers pool party, so saffron & wisteria wonder inks. Then stamped label me pretty set with wisteria wonder punch with matching punch pretty label added some pearls, and shimmer ribbon pool party

For this card, we used amazing you sale-a-bration set with berry burst, lemon lime twist and peekaboo peach inks, we die cut also from sale-a-bration celebrate you thinlits dies, we used finely woven ribbon lemon lime twist and we had petals passion embellishments but by the time it was our turn there was no flowers so I used leaves, I thought of changing but didn't have anything to add and it look weird just the ribbon where I had glued it 😊 the stripe on the bottom is from picture perfect party DSP

For this card, we used again the picture perfect party DSP and then stamped on top the party panda sale-a-bration set with tuxedo black ink

For this card, we used painted with love specialty DSP, heart happiness set with melon mambo ink, teeny tiny words set also with melon mambo ink, fabulous foil designer acetate and crinkled seam binding ribbon berry burst

For this card, we used beautiful day set for the message we used tuxedo black ink for the flower StazOn jet black with brush crystal colour gamboge, moss green & yellow. I used a Copic multiliner to fix the flower as StazOn doesn't like watercolor paper, for the center of the flower I used Wink of Stella orange instead of clear

For this card, we used beautiful peacock sale-a-bration set with perfect plum and elegant eggplant, the circles are 2" and 2-1/4" punches, the papers we used gold foil sheets and bundle of love specialty DSP, metallic enamel shalpes, the message is from rose wonder set with elegant eggplant

and last but not least this belated birthday card, again we used the picture perfect party DSP, bird banter set with tuxedo black we were supposed to color with stampin write markers but I colored when I got home with Copic Markers and instead of glitter on the balloon I used Wink of Stella clear

Happy 50th

One of the ladies in my Yahoo group turned 50th so I made this card for her. Since for wedding anniversaries gold is for 50 I decided to do the same for a birthday so this card is all gold and black 😊 SU products except for the th that was Spellbinders

Happy thoughts

This was a happy card inspired by Kristine using The Stamps of Life rainbow die that is the matching die for rainbow2stamp set. I used happy stamp and cut set by Hero Arts and joy stamp and cut set also by Hero Arts all stamping was done with tuxedo black ink, the layer was cut with stitched rectangles dies by The Stamps of Life, I added some Copic marker on the clouds

Love is in the air

I made this sort of simple card using the up and away thinlits dies by SU for anniversary cards. Sort of simple because you have to cut too many times to get all the colors but otherwise it was simple to make the card, I used the lift me up set also by SU with hybrid black licorice ink and for the anniversary message is part of an Endless Creations same ink

for this message I used Stamp A Mania stamp same ink

Winter birthday

Another birthday card, I made this card for my sister, at the time I mailed the card she hadn't said she was coming for a visit so I had to mail the card and being that her birthday is Christmas it has to be a winter card. I used triple stamping technique and since she likes sage color that's what I used. I used delicate snow set by Stampendous with sage shadow ink the feliz cumpleaños is a Memory Box die and my layers were cut with Stamps of Life stitched rectangle dies

Shoebox Thursday by Candee

For today's shoebox project, Candee had this messy project with Colourcraft Brusho. We got to pick our colors for our stripe of watercolor paper and according to the colors we got to stamp our image from the sale-a-bration set amazing you.

While the watercolor piece was drying I worked on the other part of the card. The brusho colors I used were gamboge, brilliant red & yellow. All stamping was done with tuxedo black ink; the big stamp is Rubber Stampede & Posh Impressions then I ran through big shot with garden trellis textured impressions embossing folder

Winter thank you

I always try not to do Christmas cards with winter theme so I can use that theme for other things the rest of the 4 months of winter. I know most people as soon as Christmas is over they go to Valentine's and then Easter as not many remember St Patrick's but even though I don't like the cold I love making winter cards and it seems like is the longest season of all!!!

For this card, I used shimmery paper to emboss flurries folder from winter wonderland set by Cuttlebug surprisingly it's the only folder in all the sets by Cuttlebug that has an individual name! I'm guessing because it was the one most people was using from this set, anyway, the thank you is from a Sizzix set # 5, thank you with frame #2 and the snowflake brad I bought at Impress

Shoebox Tuesday

For today's shoebox project, I made I card base on a fold Dawn O did. Her fold was the other way but I don't like landscape cards so I made mine portrait 😊

I hardly did any stamping on this card, just the message as I was using up some papers I found on my stack to use up asap! the heart is punch by SU. Is like a gate fold, the base of the card opens one way and then inside opens the other way, the heart serves as closure and I use epoxy dot for bling as it's a bit flat so doesn't give extra dimension since I mounted the heart on foam so no extra postage. The message is by Memory Box stamped with tuxedo black

this message is from amor de San Valentin set by SU also stamped with tuxedo black

Winter birthday snowflake

Another winter birthday card, for this one I used winter wonder snowflake by SU on a shimmery paper, the top snowflake is a sticker I got at Michaels very long time ago by Recollections, the message is a combination of Papertrey Ink classic birthday December set and Hero Arts' colored layering cool fox set, the snowflakes are from Hero Arts' colored layering baby penguin set all stamping was done with Danube blue ink

Winter birthday

Another Snoopy card, this one is using one of the winter bundle set folders by Cuttlebug, the stamp is also by Stampabilities with hybrid black licorice ink colored again with Copic markers, I cut my layers with Stamps of Life square stitched dies, mounted on foam and sprayed my card with shimmer sparkle, I also used classic birthday January set by Papertrey Ink with Danube blue ink.

January Birthday

I love Snoopy, I even have a Snoopy room so always have fun when I do cards with my Snoopy stamps. For this card I made my background with snowflakes folder by Cuttlebug, my image is by Stampabilities stamped with hybrid black licorice ink colored with Copic markers, added some Wink of Stella on the snow. Cut my layers with MFT die-namic dies stitched rectangles stax and mounted them on foam. The message is from one of my favorite birthday sets my Papertrey Ink with Danube blue ink, classic birthdays January, they have all 12 months so it's fun to play with the words and for those that have a birthday on a holiday you can add that special message on their card!

Shoebox Thusday

For today's shoebox project, is was my turn to make the project and since I had to make some birthday cards I made a manly card. I used wildlife designer cutting die by Little B, Martha Stewart grass edge punch and the oval was on my scraps but is a leftover die by Spellbinders. The happy birthday is by Endless Creations and the inside message is by Penny Black both stamped with ground espresso ink

Elegant woman

One of the paper crafts I like is Iris Folding but don't do it often any more. This Hero Arts image reminds me of my mom, she used to wear this kind of hats back in the day 😊 the set is lady with hats stamped with tuxedo black and colored with Copic markers, the message is a stamp by Endless Creations with peeled paint ink

Stampin Up Workshop

Today is the day we try to go to a SU workshop with one of the local demonstrators. We get to make 3 cards and this time was using products of the new occasions and sale-a-brations catalogs

This first card, was using the picture perfect birthday set with berry burst ink, the tutti-frutti adhesive-backed sequins and the picture perfect party DSP. Very fun paper

this second card, was using the waterfront set. I like the woodgrain paper as it had different tones to pick, it's from the wood textures DSP perfect for manly cards :0) for this card we used lots of ink pads, marina mist, soft sky, dapper denim, crumb cake, chocolate chip, & garden green and a yellow one for the sun that I missed writing plus washi tape that I believe is from the basics pack 2

last but not least, this card was a valentine's card but obviously it can be used for anniversary or something else. We used heart happiness set and amazing you sale-a-bration set. The black was with basic black ink which I hate as it stains the stamps or anything it touches and real red ink; basic black baker's twine, white tea lace doily, rhinestones colored with dark cherry cobbler stampin blend

Dancing with stars Tilda

This is one of those images that work for a lot of things. I made it for a couple mingles (aka swaps) of angels. I believe the fold is Dutch card but I'm not 100% sure. The Magnolia image was given by a friend and colored it with Copic markers, die cut the front panel with stitched rectangle stax dies by My Favorite Things, some Wink of Stella on the wings

Birthday gifts

Another simple birthday card using the confetti textured impressions folder by SU and for this one the stickers were by Sandy Lyon, again I used Savvy stamp birthday wishes cursive with tuxedo black

Stampin Up Workshop

Today my friends and I attended a SU workshop with two of the local SU demonstrators for the kick-off of the new occasion and sale-a-brations catalogs. We got to make 4 cards

For this first card, we used lovely wishes set stamped with old olive and calypso coral inks colored in with their alcohol markers calypso coral, daffodil delight and old olive. The ribbon is one of the freebies shimmer ribbon pack, the circle and scallop were cut for us so I can only assume they were from the layering circles framelits

For this card, we used waterfront set and perennial birthday set. The message on the front is from the second set and was done with chocolate chip. For the landscape we used the first set and was done with chocolate chip, pear pizzazz, tranquil tide, crushed curry & night of navy. 

Normally I don't decorate the inside as I just do an insert but I did this time as that's what Luci had. Not sure if she had this message but I liked it so that's what I used 😊

For this card, we used another of the freebie items party pandas set with memento ink and yes we had to fuzzy cut each one!! we used melon mambo marker for the hat and envelope. Same color for the message. The leaves were already cut for us but I think they were from bouquet bunch framelits the "bamboo" were cut color theory DSP

for this last card, we used layered leaves dynamic textured impressions embossing folder, another freebie celebrate you thinlits die set, old olive sheer ribbon and linen thread and can't tell you what DSP was used on this one 😊

Shoebox Thursday by Kathy

For today's shoebox project, Kathy had a Valentine's project! yes I can't believe Valentine's is around the corner and she was reminded us we need to start thinking about it 😊

We used a stamp by PSX with VersaMark ink and silver stampin' emboss then we die cut the two pieces the top one we sponged with wisteria wonder ink, placed the Offray metallic ribbon and mounted the labels on foam then added some rhinestones

Shoebox Wednesday

For today's shoebox project, I made a simple thank you card. I had given a thank you card to one of my friends and all of them liked how I did the card so decided it would be a good card to have as project and since once again need to finish my donation box have to start working on cards 😊

The circle is 1-3/4" EK Success punch the anchor is a stamp by PSX stamped with crumb cake ink, the thanks is from the set heartfelt expressions by Heartfelt Creations stamped with ground espresso. Used my blending tool to add some crumb cake on the edge of the circle. Because I didn't pay attention how I was cutting my paper and my OCD some cards were one way others the other way ant that was ONLY because I wanted the anchors to match 😊 but in theory you really can't tell so it didn't matter it could go whatever way you liked best

Happy 92nd

Today we celebrated my adoptive grandma's 92nd birthday! big milestone and like I always say it's a privilege to celebrate a birthday since not everyone has that luxury.

This is the card I made for her. The Fanfare fold card idea came from Lyssa Griffin Zwolanek. I changed my measurements on the layers as I wanted them 1/16" border and also decided I wanted a full card base (8-1/2" folded in half) instead of just a 4.25" x 5.5" base for more message room and of course my decoration of panels 😊 it does fold flat for mailing but because I used heavy cardstock that was what I had on my desk it would have cost extra for mailing but since it was hand-deliver I didn't care LOL otherwise I would have just reach out for regular cardstock and probably it would have folded better

For my stamped images I used Danube blue ink, the Have a wonderful is from wonderful stamp & cut set by Hero Arts; amazing is from awesome family by Pink & Main; 92nd is from number of years by SU and the birthday is from the Classic birthdays January set by Papertrey Ink

Cupcake birthday

This was another simple birthday also using the confetti textured impressions folder by SU and a dimensional sticker by Recollections, the message is birthday wishes cursive by Savvy Stamps with tuxedo black ink

Birthday balloons

This was a quick card for one of my donation boxes. I used confetti textured impressions folder by SU, and the balloons were a dimensional sticker by Recollections

On the Twelve Day of Christmas

Feliz Día de Reyes, Happy Epiphany! Today is the last day of Christmas so for those of you that are tired of Christmas this is the last one until Christmas in July 😁 I always get mad at the TV channels because right after Christmas they stop playing Christmas movies since we still have 12 days and they have them since October or November when they should have fall movies!!!!! oh well

This is the card I gave my family for the holiday, I got the idea from Pinterest. It's a side way gate fold, I used Ven a Belén set by SU stamped with VersaMark ink and embossed with gold embossing powder, the background was done with one of the paper lace II folders in the set by Cuttlebug

On the Eleventh Day of Christmas

For today's share, I have this cute card. I used love you stamp set by Crafter's Companion stamped with tuxedo black ink colored with Copic Markers and cut my layers with labels fifteen by Spellbinders, message was stamped with lady bug ink and it's by Impress
