Floral Friday Llama Graduation Card

I stamped the llama image with black Memento ink and I colored it in with Copic markers. (See the colors I used in the photo below.) Then I adhered it to the top folding card on a card. When you lift up the llama card front, you see a graduation cap that I cut out with my Cricut. The orange ribbon is from Michaels. Funny thing, I tried so hard to conceal the ribbon behind the white flap. After fiddling with it and it wouldn't do what I wanted it to. When I closed the flap and I liked it better sticking out from behind. Then I had to fiddle with it and make it stick out more.
 

 I heat embossed the background stamp with red, magenta, and orange embossing powders on white cardstock. Then I heat embossed a sentiment on a piece of vellum with Magenta embossing powder. I used a Xyron sticker maker to adhere the sentiment to the background.

Craft Roulette #268. Parameters: Project: A card for a student. This is a quirky graduation card for Maya. Colors: In modern. It's black and white with a loud color to carry the load and give it a pop.  Element: Clothing. The llama has a covering on its back, but you could count the graduation hat. Random: Abstract blob. The flowers in the background stamp by Hero Arts look like blobs.

The colors in this card are loosely based on this Color Cube card.

Thanks for looking.

Floral Friday Easter Cards with digital image printed on photo paper

For these two cards I used patterned paper by Provo Craft- we’re talking old stuff. The floral images were printed on photo paper. Unfortunately, I do not know where the images came from. 

The first card, the cream colored ribbon is from a dollar bin at Michael’s. The small piece of cardstock that is dry embossed is by K and Co. The Hallelujah stamp is from Dollar Tree.

The second card, uses rectangle die cuts by Spellbinders. The stamp set is downstairs and I’m still recovering from surgery and can’t find out. Thanks for looking

I inked the stencil with Ranger distress ink and an ink blending tool. Then I used transparent embossing paste over the whole pattern and set it aside to dry. The big ribbon is by May Arts which I've tied into a bow. The twine is by Lawn Fawn and I wrapped it around the bulk of the bow before tying it into a bow too. I stamped the sentiment by Stampendous in Hero Arts black ink on a Clearly Besotted die cut made of Neenah Solar White cardstock. Then I adhered the whole front panel onto a 5 1/4 square card base by The Paper Studio.

Star Stenciled in Yellow Chalk for Chalk Ah Lot challenge

I made this next card for the challenge at Chalk Ah Lot. The challenge is to use a stencil with chalk. My card below uses Special Day Stamp by Stamp N Plus and Dandy powdered chalk with paint also by Stamp N Plus.

I mixed the powdered chalk with the paint and applied it to the stenciled area with a cosmetic wedge. It's a little light in places but I kind of liked it that way. The stencil is by The Crafter's Workshop. With the leftover chalk/paint mixture I covered the piece of cardstock that is behind the star panel. 

The patterned paper is by Pink Paislee and I used a Martha Stewart punch on the edges. The shear ribbon is by Pebbles and the star brad is unknown. I stamped the sentiment on the vellum and heat-embossed it in black. After it cooled I die cut it out with a Spellbinders die. 

Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday

My brother in law is having a birthday this week so I made him this new card using Papertrey Ink stamps and die cut with Stampin Up patterned paper. The organza ribbon says Old Willow color and Made in China so no manufacturer on that one as well as the cardstock. I've had it since the mid 90's. My inks are by Stampin Up.

I'm crazy busy right now with requests and projects that I will have to add the photos portion later on this week when I can catch my breath. I didn't want to make this Manly Wednesday because it just sounds silly. Here are the links that you should check out for some great male card inspiration. And if you have time check out my card at the bottom. Thanks for stopping by.

I updated this post with the clips of each creation. Thank you for your patience.

Bird-day party

My mom bought me this stamp set by Layers of Color called birdday party. I've never had a stamp set by them before. I think they are nice and wanted to show you a card I made using it. 

For this card I just used the sentiment stamp from the set. It goes great with the embossing folder by Provo Craft. To get the embossed areas different colors I used Smooch ink by Clearsnap. I used different shades of green to give a shadow affect along with some dots of purple mixed in there. 

Thanks for looking.

Lion card

I have a cute little lion card to share today

Supplies: flower by OTC; brad by The Paper Studio; stamps by CTMH; ink by Colorbox; ribbon from Michaels; patterned paper by Creative Memories and white cardstock by The Paper Co. Thanks for looking.
