Look Up To Father

Next Sunday is Fathers Day. So here's a cool masculine card for that special Daddy, Papa or Father in your life. Sometimes monochromatic is the way to go on a masculine card & it deffinitely was on this one. And don't you love this stamp? Notice I cut the stamp & greeting apart so that I could use them separately. It's not hard to do. Since this stamp comes only in woodmount, before you take the sticker cover off use very sharp scissors or exacto knife & make a clean cut between the words & image. Then mount the tree on the large flat side of the wood & the greeting on one end of the wood block & place stickers on corresponding sides. That way you can use them independent of each other. Enjoy your day & happy stamping!!

Flowery Mothers Day

Here's a sweet Mothers Day card that is for a friends daughter in law. Love these soft shaded blossoms. They look so realistic this way. I have always loved this set but this is by far the prettiest way to use it.

Mirrored Tree

Here's a card that uses the age old technique of masking. First punch your window mask from a piece of scrap CS. Place it over your CS that you want your image on. Ink up your tree stamp & stamp off once on scratch paper them stamp on mask piece so that 1/2 or so of the faded tree is in the window. You want to then use a dab/brush motion (with a sponge applied to ink) to create the edge of the mirror. Pull off your mask & stamp tree again ( this time don't stamp off on scratch paper once) placing it a little lower & to the right. Add a greeting & ribbon & you've got a very elegant card!

Greetings of the Season

Yes it is "Merry Christmas" for me but some of my saying are otherwise. In class we use all kinda of sayings so as to have enough to go around.
This is such a pretty card that was created out of having TOO many scraps! It is so simple but I think it's the prettiest one we did in class! Change up the colors & DSP and you can make this your own special design!!

Butterflies

I wanted to put this fun card on here to show off the Natural Composition Specialty paper. It is on page 163 in the Idea Book & Catalog. It is so pretty & kinda hard to see in pictures bit is embossed monochromatic glossy print.
Hope you have a delightful weekend & may your new week be blessed!

Sweet 16

Here's a fun card for our friend who will be 16 this month. I forget to use the little clips so I figured this was a perfect card to use them on since I won't be mailing it. LOVE the number dies too!
