Stencil Background Butterfly card

I made this card using a stencil by Scrapbooking Made Simple and distress inks. The butterflies are dies by Poppystampss. Then I added small sequins to the the body of the butterfly. They are by Fun Stampers Journey. The sentiment die is by Die-Versions. Thanks for looking.

A Fruity Drink with an Umbrella card

The scalloped half circle is paper by Deja Views. I cut it out with my Cricut. The light blue patterned paper in the center is by Colorbok. The sentiment is by Die Versions and it’s cut out of polka dot patterned paper by Papertrey Ink. The drink is a sticker from a dollar bin at Michael’s. Stickers get a bad rap in the card making world. And they’re not terrible if you use them well.

Vintage ribbon Celebrate Card

When my MIL went into a home I received a bunch of vintage ribbons. They are so stunning. The one I used today is more like crocheted flowers.

The sentiment is by Die-Versions 

The patterned paper is by Cosmo Cricket

I used distress ink by Ranger on the edges

I used vintage ribbon, a corner rounder, and eyelets

Green Peerless Watercolor background with butterfly

Thanks for coming to see my new card today.
I did two pictures of the same card to show the colors of the green background in a different light.

The sentiment is by Die-Versions

The background is a negative of a Spellbinders die. I used Peerless waters colors to create the green on watercolor paper by Ranger.

The die-cut butterfly is transparent and from K and Co. I ran it through my Xyron sticker maker.

Manly Monday Deer Head Cards Part 2

I have the Manly Monday Deer Head Part 1 post with cards using this deer head die by Recollections if you'd like to see other examples.

There's nothing really special about these cards. The celebrate die cut is by Die-Versions. The embossing "folder" is by Fiskars. I inked it with Distress ink. The leaves under the oval are in the same die set.

Patterned paper by The Paper Studio, Hobby Lobby. The sentiment is unknown.

I have a lot of guy birthdays and I hope these cards will hold me for this year. 

Thanks for looking.

Dry Embossed Heart cards

This post is very similar to Heart Die Cut Christmas cards. 

Blah! Blah! Blah!

I'm not sure why they didn't get blogged together (?). Maybe because the top card is not a Christmas card. I'm going to use it as an anniversary card. Also maybe I didn't post them together because these two cards have the same embossing folders and the others don't have the same folders or a folder like these two. Idk but I gave you the link and you can compare them. Thanks for stopping by.

Black Cats Cards

Today's card is for you cat fans out there. I would love to get a cat but my husband has a hard time with cat hair. So I'll stick to stamping them for now. 

The cat stamp by Gina Marie and I've stamped it with black Versa Color ink onto white cardstock by Recollections. Then I die cut it out with a Dreamweaver Stencils Nesting Die. I die cut the bowl with my Cricut and the Cricut Sampler cartridge. The paw patterned paper is by The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby. I got the the sentiment online and printed it out. I think the aqua patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye and the cardstock behind the patterned paper is by Provo Craft.

Then this one is a little bit simper and uses the same products as above, just no added color and the sentiment is by Die-Versions die cut with Recollections glitter paper.

Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Deep Red Dino

Today I used a Deep Red Stamps dinosaur stamp. I stamped the dino onto Strathmore paper and colored it in with Peerless watercolors. I fussy cut the image out and then it sat it my "need to be finished" bag. Sometimes I just feel like stamping and playing with my stamps. I don't always use them right away but they do eventually get used. 

You can find the dino stamp at:

Scrapbook.com

or

A Cherry on Top

The background was another one that didn't make the cut at the time I made it but was given new life with this dino image. The stencil is by The Crafters Workshop, cardstock is a speckled greyish color by Stampin Up and the spray is by Tattered Angels. The rocks are stickers by Not so Cute Stickers and the sentiment die cut is by Die Versions. I did die cut a green piece of fun foam by Good Old Values to go behind the white die cut to give it more dimension.

Thanks for looking.

Wood grain Horse Card

Hi Dee Ho. Today's card is a little bit taller than usual for me. It's a 4x6 inch card base with white cardstock by The Paper Studio. This cardstock seems to be a little bit thicker which I think is better for a card base. 

The horse stamp is by Inkadinkado and I've stamped it with brown Stampin Up ink. I die cut the image and it's next larger die by Spellbinders. I inked the white cardstock with distress ink, blue on top and brown on the bottom with Ranger's distress ink. The patterned paper of the die cut behind the image is by Best Creations and the pennants are the back side of that same paper. (Are they even in business anymore? Who knows.) 

The background paper is a wood grain but I don't know who makes it because I won it from Simon Says Stamp. The lace is from my MIL's stash. The pennants are dies by Sizzix, the circle stamp is by Stampin Up stamped with brown SU ink and punched it out with a Creative Memories circle punch and the sentiment is a die cut by Die-Versions.

Thanks for looking.
