Magic Monday Card two

 

This was a fun card to make. I used alot of stuff that has been sitting untouched in my stamp room for to long!

First I embossed the image from Layered Lables using Early Espresso embossing powder onto Shimmery White Cardstock.

 

 

Then I used my Aqua Painter and spread some So Saffron ink all over the Shimmery White
Then I filled up my Stampin' Spritzer with water and about 7 drops of Primrose Petals ink, and spritzed the card stock ( if you look on the left you will see where I had my finger... oops! I was so excited I fogot to put the card down before spritzing!)

      

I used the Aqua Painter to add some So Saffron ink to the Flower Trim ribbon. I just love that stuff!!
The I layered the Shimmery White cs onto Primrose Petals and then onto an Early Espresso card base.

 

Inside the card I embossed "thanks" in the Early Espresso embossing powder and again used the Aqua painter to add So Saffron ink.

Magic Monday Class

Okay so here it is Wednesday, and class is on Monday. I am trying to get better about posting samples for class in advance. Monday Magic is a new theme for me. I took a poll and decided that Funky Folds was out. Hope everyone likes the new theme!

                            
                               This Magic Monday we will be embossing, and watercoloring.
                                      

Card one uses Apothecary Art and En Francais Stamp sets.

 

 

I used Pewter embossing powder on the main image. and colored with Cherry Cobler and Wild Wasabi ink using my blender pen.

En Francais was embossed on Night of Navy card stock using Clear embossing powder.

I used the Labels Collection Framelits to cut out the main image,  the Elegant Butterfly punch this is layerd onto a paper doilie, then the Night of Navy, White and a Navy Card base. I did place white card stock inside the card for writing.  

June Card class 2010

This month I am focusing on retiring products, colors and the Summer Mini. BUT there are some cards that I had to make because of the season!
This card was inspired by Julie Davison, I liked the layout she used, and wanted to use the same technique, but ended up changing it to my liking!



I used Elegant Eggplant, More Mustard and Old olive markers and cs. I inked up the stamp from the set Watercolor Trio, then after stamping on Whisper White, I spritzed the image with my Stampin' mist to give it a softer, more water colored look.



This card was inspired by Michelle Singer. It is a very patriotic card, I think! It only uses the Sparkle stamp from Warm Words ( which is retiring!) I first punched the star out , then lined up the scallop square punch and punched it out. Then I outlined the star with 2-way glue pen and sprinked Dazzling Diamonds glitter on.
I used Brilliant Blue Whisper White and Real Red cs for this card.





I also used the Real Red Polka dot ribbon, love it! After stampin sparkle in Real Red ink, I outlined it with the 2-way glue pen, then added the Dazzling Diamonds.

Criss Cross

It has been a while sense my last post, I am very sorry for that... BUT I think you will enjoy this card! And if you are in Florence Oregon on Monday you can make one! ( I know shameless plug for my card class)

This is a Criss Cross card, I learned how to make this from the resource section on Splitcoast stampers.



For this card I featured many retiring products, Razzleberry DSP, Vintage Brads, Clear Buttons, and Melon Mambo Polka dot Ribbon. Along with Banquet Bunch stamp set from the current Mini catalog. The card base Melon Mambo, the insert is Rich Razzleberry, and US white.

For the Band I used textured white cs, wrapped with a piece of Melon Mambo ribbon. The Jumbo flower punch out of Melon Mambo. I tied a piece of crochet thread around a scrap ribbon and through the clear button.

The image again is from the Banquet Bunch stamp set ( Summer Mini 2010) I stamped the vase and flowers in Basic grey, used a blender pen to color the vase with Rich razzleberry, and a marker to color the flowers ( then scribbled the blender pen over the flowers to soften)

What is your favorite product that is retiring??? have you made a fab card using it?

Share a link to you card!

Oh and just in case you are wondering card class is Monday June 14th at 6:15, we will be making 2 criss cross cards. want more info? contact me.

Stair step card #2

My Funky Folds class the other night was a big hit... It took my stampers a bit longer than they are used to though!!
BUT I did warn them that it was an advanced class!! This was the favorite of the night... they all loved the Fifth Avenue Floral card, but who can resist cupcakes??



this is a side view.. again I got the idea off of Splitcoast, but altered the dimensions to fit my theme... and I wanted it to fit into a "regular" envelope.....


Coloring was with a mix of inkpads, and markers.. the image was stamped in basic Black and colored with chocolate chip, Regal Rose and Pretty in Pink, shadows where done in Shara Sand

The cupcake was stamped 2 times using Regal Rose classic ink, once on Regal Rose cs and once on US white, then cut out. the Flowers were also punched in Regal Rose.

the center step has the sentiment....

I think this is my favorite part of the card... I just love those cupcakes from the hostess set " The more the merrier" They were colored and cut out, then placed using dimensionals.

Card base 5 ½ x 8 ½ (Pretty in Pink)
Cut 2 ¼ inches in from 7/8 to 6 3/8
On the wider side, Score up to cut line at 7/8, 1 ¾, 3, at 4 ¼ all the way across and up to the cut line at 6 3/8 .
mountain fold the section that only has one score line.
Mountain and valley fold the score lines, with the center fold down,
Layer and add embellishments

I used Chocolate Chip and Regal Rose with this card.

what do you think? which one is your favorite card from this class???

want to come to one of my classes? let me know!
