First, I adhered an Island Indigo strip to the left side of the card front. 

I then adhered the panel of DSP, followed by the other strip of Island Indigo.

Looking through the scraps of DSP, I punched out an Early Espresso piece, using the Modern Label Punch.

I then found an Island Indigo piece that I stamped and die cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I adhered the Island Indigo oval onto the Early Espresso piece.

I then attached it, using dimensionals onto the card front.

Lastly, I added a candy dot to the sentiment and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Happy Birthday Circles

Some stamps can be classified as timeless images. Circle Circus falls under that category. This stamp set features circles, circles and circles. They can be the focus of attention, or they can be used as a background. Either way, they fit under every category of sentiments imaginable.

   Punching

Accessories:

I actually began this card with the smaller Basic White panel. It was a left-over piece that I wanted to use. So, I grabbed my Circle Circus stamp set and began stamping various circles at random using different colors.

I then decided to matte this with a Chocolate Chip panel. I adhered it using regular adhesive.

I then grabbed a scrap of Basic White and stamped my sentiment on it. Using the Modern Label Punch, I punched it out and sponged it with Melon Mambo ink. I attached it using dimensionals.

I centered this panel to the Melon Mambo card front, and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Deer in the Meadow

There are those who like to be alone and those who DO NOT. I think more people enjoy the company of others. I believe that even when there is an individual task to be done, most people would prefer to perform it in the company of others. Just like the adage states, "Two heads are better than one." Here is a card to send to those who work with you, or to those you spend time with you throughout the year. What do you think?

Stamps:

   In the Meadow

Paper:

   Pear Pizzazz A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Smoky Slate

   Baked Brown Sugar

   Pear Pizzazz

   Soft Sky

   Archival Basic Black

Technique:

   Sponging

   Masking

   Punching

Accessories:

   Blender Pen

   Large Oval Punch

   Modern Label Punch

   Sponge

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I sponged the top part of my Whisper White panel with Soft Sky.

I then stamped and fussy cut my deer image on a scrap piece of paper. I placed a bit of temporary adhesive on the back and set it aside. This is my mask.

I then stamped my deer image on the Whisper White panel.

I placed my mask over it and kept it in place during all of the stamping.

Next, I stamped my mountains in the background. Just one row.

I then stamped the trees. I inked them with Pear Pizzazz. Then wiped the ink off the trunk and branches using the blender pen. I then colored these in with Archival Basic Black. I breathed on the stamp to re-activate the ink and then stamped them on my panel.

I used Pear Pizzazz to stamp the grass all over the bottom of the card.

I colored in the mountains with Smoky Slate and the deer with Baked Brown Sugar. I did remove the mask before coloring. You can use watercolor pencils, chalk, or markers to color in the images. 

I stamped, punched, and sponged my sentiment. I adhered it to the Modern Label and then attached it using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a couple of black dots to the Modern Label and adhered the panel to the card base. The other Whisper White panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

Black & White Butterfly Note

 I made this background by adding drops of alcohol inks to glossy white paper. The purple does overpower the other colors, but the black and white images look great against it. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Butterfly Gala

Paper:

   Taken With Teal A-2

   Glossy White 5-1/4 x 4

   Whisper White 3-1/4 x 4 (2), 3/4 x 2-1/2, 5-1/4 x 4

   Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks

Technique:

   Alcohol Ink Drops

   Punching

Accessories:

   Butterfly Duet Punch

   Modern Label Punch

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I made the background and set it aside to dry. It does not take long at all.

In the meantime, I stamped my butterflies and sentiment. I used my punches to cut them out. The sentiment is attached with dimensionals, and the butterflies are adhered with glue dots.

I then adhered the panel to the card base, and the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

I had another background, so I added a daisy with a button for the center. I also brought out the yellow in the background by changing the card base. What do you think?

   Daisy Delight

   Butterfly Gala

Paper:

   Yo Yo Yellow A-2

   Glossy White 5-1/4 x 4

I did curl the daisy petals with my bone folder. The daisy is adhered with glue dots, and the sentiment is attached with dimensionals.
