Shoebox Tuesday

For today's project I have a card idea from Altenew by Laurie Willison. I used the set hope by Concord & 9th with tuxedo black and love letter inks, masked that section then stamped with delicate flower bed set by Altenew with tuxedo black and to finish the card added 3 clear droplets by PPP

Paper Pumpkin

This card was done as an alternative to the November 2018 kit to you & yours. I made it long after Christmas and even though I love Christmas I didn't want to work on Christmas cards at the time so decided to do something totally different.

I used blissful blooms set from paper pumpkin August 2018 with early espresso ink for my message, a flower set stamped with amalgam ink on the vellum and colored with Copic marker on the back even though I could have used it on the front as the ink is Copic friendly, I die cut my vellum and frame out of the scallop circle die by PPP

Paper Pumpkin

This card was an alternative card to the November 2018 kit to you & yours. I didn't want to make Christmas cards since I made the cards after the holidays so this was my take

I used blissful blooms paper pumpkin set from August 2018 for my message with cherry cobbler, scallop circles dies by PPP for my frame, butterfly gala set with cherry cobbler and matching punch also sponged some ink on the edge, added some pearls as body, the thick twine was from kit as well as the wood texture paper which was negative pieces or left over pieces

Monoprinting Cards

The next panels on my homework were the two for one and I continue the same when doing the cards. Again the panels were 5" x 7" cut in half giving me 3.5" x 5" mounted on some purplish color cardstock then on white cardstock again cut a bit to make my border even all around. Cut my Hola with an alphabet die then cut a border around with my stitched rectangle framelits die by SU the letters that came out on the first card went on the second card. I added some enamel dots from my stash on both cards. For the second set I added glossy accent on the letters

Since today is my dad's birthday thought I show this card 😊 my second panel on my homework, again it was 5" x 7" and cut in half but this time the other way as I wanted all the colors to show on the card. The card is an odd size but didn't matter as I had envelopes from greeting cards or something that fit perfectly just had to cut the card to about 4" wide and it's just about 7.5" the happy birthday is a die by The Stamps of Life part of the 3D pop-up drop-in. The enamel dots were sort of shimmery

Shoebox Thursday by Kathy

For today's project we have a manly card although I guess it could be use for anyone 😊 we used the sale-a-bration SU set home to roost with tuxedo black, on the background it had the second generation stamping, for the rooster it was colored with stampin write markers cucumber crush and real red and then the brown I used my Copic markers instead of the crumb cake, for the banner I used my banner triple punch and only cut on one end and adhered to one side instead of cutting on both ends and adhering on the center. The ribbon is somehow velvety with a silver edge. I believe the circles are from the layering circles framelits dies also by SU

For my first panel on my homework, the panel was 5" x 7" so I cut it in half giving me two pieces of 3.5" x 5. Both cards are pretty much the same just the difference is the water splatter. I mounted on a lavender cardstock then on white, did cut a bit to make it an even border around. The thanks die is by Altenew and the words are from the matching set halftone thanks which I stamped with VersaFine Clair nocturne. On the die I added black Wink of Stella glitter blush then glossy accent as I wanted some glitter showing through but it didn't work, I couldn't tell if it had any shimmer on it or not. I also added some enamel dots from my stash
