Mom&PopDayCards

These are the two cards I made. One is for Mother's Day and the other is for Father's Day. I wasn't able to be with my parents for either holiday so I mailed them. Mom called over the weekend to thank me. They loved their cards.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Builder Framelits

Ever since I laid my eyes on this set of framelits from Stampin' Up! I can't get enough of them!!! 

Below are just a few of the cards I have made with this set. 

The first card is for a friend's baby girl. I stuck with the pale pinks and a sort of peach with an accent of pistachio green. The card has since arrived at its destination and Mommy just loved it!

The card below I just made for fun. But it just goes to show you can do sooo much with this set. 

Like monochromatic???

Then give this a try!!!

Add that little pleated curtain effect to the die cut pieces and watch the magic happen!!!

Happy Birthday Kaley

Recently my cousin, Pat asked me to create a card for her granddaughter Kaley. Pat told me Kaley likes horses and the color green. She also stated that Kaley was turning 17. So, as I pondered what I would create for Kaley's 17th birthday card, the wheels began to turn. I knew I wanted to wow both Pat and Kaley. So I immediately decided to stamp a scene. So I pulled out my mountain scene stamp from Stampscapes and stamped onto glossy cardstock (photo paper) with Memento Black. Then I added some trees from Stampscapes and Stampin' Up! The Mare and colt from Stampabilities was stamped onto a separate piece of glossy cardstock then cut out. Using the Top Note Die from Stampin' Up! I created a window. I colored the images with my Stampin' Up! markers and a dauber. Added highlights with a white gel pen. The dotted Ranger Liquid Pearls to make the flowers. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up! The flowers are Petaloo. The card is interactive in that when you pull and push the side tabs the mare and the colt come together and the mare kisses the colts head.

This card was great fun creating. A labor of love.

Curtain Call May 1

Firstly, let me wish all the moms out there a very Happy Mother's Day!

Below is my card for the Curtain Call May 1 challenge.

My card was created using the Sweet Floral stamp from Stampin' Up! I stamped the image with Versa Mark and used Pan Pastels to smudge the colors. On top I place a die cut in shiny gold. I stamped the butterfly and colored it with my ColourArts Silks acrylic paints. Then went over it with my Wink of Stella. I love this clean and simple card! 

If I'd have left the sentiment off, this would have been a perfect Mother's Day card! 

Hope you have a blessed Mother's Day.

Freshly Made 234

Today I played with the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge #234. Very CAS. I love coloring with my Prisma Color Pencils so I had a go at the little bird from Stampin' Up! set #141291 Sale-A-Bration Honeycomb Happiness. I really love this little set. There are 3 images and 3 sentiments. I chose "Hang In There" for my sentiment. Just a little fun coloring on this Saturday afternoon. 

Below is the sketch.

#NOTE -- to stamp my balloon to look as though my bird was holding it, tucked under his wing, I stamped the bird twice. Once on my card face and once on a piece of printer paper. I cut the bird out of the printer paper and used it as a mask. Then I stamped the balloon in place. Then I did all my coloring. Added a little white gel pen for some highlights.

We are in love with these!!!

Card designed by Deb Segler. Still using the Nuvos.

Another design by Deb Segler. I don't know the stamp set used. Only that it is Stampin' Up!

Monochromatic

Monochromatic Mauve shimmer cs. This card is really fun to make. The dies are from Stampin' Up! Botanical Builder Framelits. To start you will need one sheet of 12 x 12 cs. Cut at 4.25" x 11". Score at 5 1/2" and fold. Set aside. Use the remaining cs to die cut 2 of each of the flowers and 2 of the frilly frond. Make your flowers. I adhered with dimensionals. Then I added the pearls from Stampin' Up! This would make a lovely Mother's Day card or even a sympathy card. You can choose any color cs to make this monochromatic card.
