Floral Friday Sunflower Stamp

 


 The stamp is by Stampendous. The single die cut by Spellbinders. The stamp was inked with multiple small ink cubes to give the image multiple colors. After I ran the die cut through the machine I inked the inside with green distress ink. This card base is very flimsy and not strong enough to hold anything more than the one die cut. Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Floral Friday Sunflower card


This same sunflower stamp will also be on the card for Floral Friday next week. I have four of the sunflowers colored in, and I want to make them into cards.
The stamp is by Stampendous and was colored in with Copic markers. I used a Spellbinders die cut to cut out the image. I inked the paper with distress ink while the paper was still on the inside of the die. I taped the image onto a piece of brown cardstock, but the image was lost. So, I went around the edges with a white gel pen. The patterned paper is by Accord Publishing.
Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Pink and blue Cakes Card

This is my Craft Roulette #217. card:
Project: A2
Colors-French cafe
Element: June
Random: polka Dots-the background stamp

I made the background patterned paper with distress crayons. I pressed a crayon down on the outside edge of the white paper and then pulled the color in towards the center after each pass until I made a rectangle in the middle of the paper. Then I dipped my finger into water and followed the pattern started on the inside working my way out to the edge of the paper.  I then stamped a polka dot background with a Love Nicole stamp in a matching color. 

The blue glitter paper is not glittery. It has a coating over it so it doesn’t shed. It is by The Paper Studio. The blue opulent paper is by Die Cuts with a View. The white with blue squiggly lines is by Cricut. I colored the image in with Copic markers.

Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Cricut border with added Christmas trees card

This border is a Cricut cut with a rhinestone in the center. Then I added Christmas tree die cuts. Some of them have been inked with distress ink. Some of them are also upcycled wallpaper samples. I did add dimensional adhesive behind two of them. Then I cut brown scraps to make the tree trunks. Thanks for looking.

4 Snow Globe Shaker Christmas Cards

The snow globe die cuts were cards that I cut apart. They came to me in the stash of the older woman that I was lucky enough to receive her Christmas card making supplies after she had to go to a nursing home. 


The background of this card was made with distress ink and water and maybe some kind of spray/spritz. I dry embossed the red part with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and in an effort to make it look brown I continued to add distress oxide to it. Meh. The sentiment stamp is by Inkadinkado. 



For this card, my background paper is by Carte Bella.  The sentiment is by Inkadinkado. The scene is made up of stamps from Stampendous.


For this card, my background paper is by.  The sentiment is by Inkadinkado. I love that name. The scene inside is made up of stamps by Stampendous.


The background of this card was made with a stencil by The Crafter’s Workshop, distress ink, and Glimmer Mist spray by Tattered Angels. The sentiment is by Hero Arts. The scene is made of stamps by Lawn Fawn that were colored in with Copic markers. Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Floral Friday a Negative and Positive card

I love to Upcycle> Recycle> Reuse> Repurpose> and Reduce the trash.
For my two cards today I extracted the sentiment out of Aunt Gail's store-bought card and I was able to make these two cards. Can you see where the cards were one and became two?



I started with a lavender card base and then layered patterned paper by Basic Grey that was 1/8" smaller around the edges. The rhinestones and enamel stickers are from my stash. 
The sentiment is from a store-bought card and I cut it out with a die from Kaisercrafts. So instead of throwing away the yellow cardstock, it came from...tada! 

Look, it's the yellow cardstock from above. Isn't that cool? Why haven't I done this before? Anyway, I added polka dot patterned paper by Studio G behind the yellow cardstock.
I stamped the large sentiment with Hero Arts ink and it never evenly dispersed into the cardstock. I stamped it multiple times with the MISTI. I decided to color in the bare spots with my Stampin' Up watercolor pencils to fill in the bare spots.
The fun arrow and banner combo come from the Scrapbook Expo. 

Thanks for looking. HAGD

Manly Monday Debossed background card


The background is made with Tim Holtz kraft core cardstock combined with a dry embossing folder by Darice. Then I used some Copic markers of the same shade. 
I had intended for the raised embossing to be on the kraft side of the cardstock but I wasn’t mindful of which way was up on the embossing folder .
I then decided to cut out a cover plate die cut by Simply Defined from Scrapbooking Made Simple out of Papertrey Ink polka dot patterned paper. After I adhered it to my embossed background I colored in the die cut leaves and it didn’t work. I tried different colors and 
nothing seemed to look right. 
So to take away from the leaves that I didn’t like, I used a Copic marker over the raised embossed areas. It’s okay.
Thanks for stopping by. HAGD!

Twisted Easel Card for Craft Roulette



I made this bokeh background using different size circle stamps and white pigment ink on vellum. It looks really nice with a plain dark cardstock behind it like in the image below but not so much with light polka dot paper in the card like the image above.





Thanks for looking. HAGD!
