Christmas Cards all Year Round Mid-Month

I made a card for the mid-month inspiration post at Christmas Cards all Year Round. The challenge this month is not patterned paper. This card is so simple but sometimes I like those the best. I stamped and heat embossed the reindeer in gold glitter embossing powder by Stampendous and ink by Versa Mark. The stamp is by Inkadinkado and the sentiment stamp is by Elle's Studio. The white cardstock is by Recollections and the gold is unknown. The greeting was die cut with a Design Objectives die cut and I distressed the inside of the die. The brads are by Creative Imaginations.

Thanks for looking.

Holiday Pie Sassy Card

I'm back again today with the Sassy Studio Designs with Flashback Friday image. The image is older or possibly retired and no longer available and for this one week it is available at a discounted price.

You can stop by the Sassy store to pick up your Holiday Pie Sassy.

I printed the her out onto Cryogen cardstock and colored her in with Copic markers. Then I die cut her out with a Spellbinders die cut and inked the inside with distress ink by Ranger. The month stamp is by Hero Arts stamped in Stampin Up brown ink. The patterned paper is by Recollections, ribbon from Michael's and felt pumpkin by Making Memories.

Thanks for looking.

Sassy Studio Designs Pocahontas in the Fall Card

I am a guest designer this month at Sassy Studio Designs and I'm here to tell you about this Thursday's challenge. 

The challenge is:

It's beginning to look like fall

Use fall colors

I printed the Sassy Studio Design Pochontas Honey {She is on sale for $2.00-buy her now before Friday when the price goes back up}out on Ranger watercolor paper and colored her in with distress ink and a water pen. Then I die cut the image and inked the inside with distress ink. I die cut the same shape but larger out of the same cardstock I used for the background. The burnt orange cardstock, patterned paper and ribbon are from Hobby Lobby. All the die cuts are by Spellbinders and the sentiment is a TPC Studio stamp with Stampin Up ink.

Thanks for looking.

Pumpkin Thankful card

I colored in the digi pumpkin with Copic Markers. I wish I knew who the artist is on the digi but at that time I was not organizing my digi's the way I do now. I fussy cut the pumpkin out and set aside until I was ready to assemble my card. The background paper is by Hot off the Press and it is dry embossed with an embossing folder by Stampin Up. 

The sentiment is an Inkadinkado stamp that was inked with a couple of colors of Colorbox pigment inks and then after it dried I cut it into an oval with my CM Cutting system. I inked the edges of the oval with distress inks. The die cut behind the oval and the orange leaf are both die cuts by Spellbinders. The next leaf is by Martha Stewart and the leaf button is by Dress me Up. The orange ribbon at the bottom is hard to see but it is from Michael's. 

Thanks for looking.

Fall Birthday Card

I have another simple card to share today. This one uses an embossing folder by Darice with Hot off the Press colored paper. Then I inked the embossed area with Colorbox pigment ink and let it dry. The sentiment stamp is by Gina Marie in her All Seasons Stamp Set. I stamped it onto Ranger watercolor paper because I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. I ended up die cutting it with a Lifestyle Crafts scalloped oval die and inking the inside. I lightly sprayed it with water mixed with Perfect Pearls by Ranger. The ribbon is from Michael's and the leaf brad is by Creative Imaginations.

Manly Monday Steve's 50th birthday

Welcome back to Manly Monday. I have a bunch of great cards for you to go see for some guy card inspiration. Leave them a comment. Everyone loves comments. But first here are my cards.

I made these two cards at the same time for a relatives birthday. Then I let my husband choose which one he liked best. The 50's were cut out using my Cricut and then inked them with distress ink by Ranger Industries. I sprayed the top card's 50 with a little bit of water. The "Th" are Quickutz dies and the word birthday is made up using an alphabet stamp by Lawn Fawn. The top embossing folder is by Cuttlebug and the bottom by Darice. Both are very manly in my opinion. The top card has eyelets by Making Memories and some braiding by Allary. The second card has a series of circle punches by Creative Memories and also EK Success. The last circle has been stamped by a Stampin Up set Open Seas and a brad in the center. I'm not really sure where the cardstock is from but I would guess the navy blue by Stampin Up and the kraft by Oriental Trading Co.

Thanks for looking.

Stenciled Background with Chalk Birthday Card

Today is my friend's birthday and so is the new challenge over at Chalk Ah Lot is Birthday with chalk. *See her 40th birthday shaker card in yesterday's post.*

 I made this card using a stencil by The Crafter's Workshop with Ranger distress ink and Stamp N Plus Stardust powdered chalk mixed with paint. I inked the stencil with a few shades of distress ink and then went back over the same area with a chalk mixture. It has a beautiful shimmer to it that the picture doesn't show. See the Chalk Ah Lot post for a photo tutorial on the making of my background.

The rest of my card is simple. I cut it on a diagonal to have a space to stamp the sentiment which is by Just Rite Stamps stamped in black Hero Arts ink. The flower is very old by Prima and the rhinestone by The Paper Studio. 

Thanks for looking.

Happy 40th Birthday Friend

I made this fun shaker card for friend's 40th birthday tomorrow. I hope it gets to her on time. I stamped the background of the white cardstock with a Hero Arts dot stamp and also added a Hero Arts sentiment. I cut the sentiment in half to use the Happy on top and the Birthday on the bottom. The 40 stamps are by Inkadinkado and the "Th" stamps by Lawn Fawn. The purple ink is by Memento Ink and the blue is by Stampin Up. The die cut is by Sizzix and all the cardstock is by Recollections. The confetti is from Hobby Lobby and in retrospect I added too many in side the shaker card. It's too hard to see the stamping. I will get it together for my next shaker card. 

Thanks for looking.

Windmill Thank you

Today's card is pretty simple but yet still very pretty. I stamped the Gina Marie windmill stamp

with Versa Mark ink and embossed it with copper Ranger Industries embossing powder. I inked the edges with Ranger's distress ink and then sprayed that panel with water mixed with Perfect Pearls. I let it stand overnight to make sure it was dry before I stamped the sentiment in Hero Arts black ink. The sentiment is also by Gina Marie Stamps in her Simple Sentiments. The background patterned paper is by Déjà Views.

Thanks for looking.

Gratitude Fall Card

I have another card using this Inkadinkado tree stamp. I stamped it in multiple fall colors with ink by Colorbox onto white carsdtock by Recollections. Once it dried I die cut it out with a Design Objectives die and inked the inside with Ranger's distress ink. I die cut the same shape in a burnt orange colored cardstock and placed it behind the image straight which makes it peek out behind the angled die cut. The sentiment is also multiple pigment inks by Colorbox and then inked once it dried. 

My patterned paper is by K and Co, the leaf punch is by Marvy and the polka dot ribbon is by Stampin Up.

Thanks for looking.

Sassy Halloween Card

This will be my last Halloween card this year. I had to show you what I did. Normally she is holding a cake and I wanted her to hold something Halloweeny like hey a piece of candy corn. The lady image is by Sassy Studio Designs, the candy corn and witches hat by Stampin Up and the sentiment by Gina Marie. The ink I used on the sentiment and hat is black by Hero Arts and the candy corn is Versa Color for the orange and yellow and Stampin Up white pigment ink. I colored the image in with Copic markers and then took the black marker and outlined her edges. The ribbon is from Michael's and the black cardstock is by Recollections. That is all I know about this card. I hope you like it.

Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Open Seas Boat card

Hi everyone. Welcome back to Manly Monday late edition.

For my card:

I love the Open Seas stamp set by Stampin Up for manly cards. I made one here Open Seas for a Manly Monday post a few months back and wanted to share the other one I made at the same time. 

I cut the sentiment out using my Cricut. In fact, it was a leftover from the previous year's calendar making that I do for family. It was the backside of a patterned paper that was very old and I inked the edges. The frame is stamped and heat embossed with the ledger stamp in the set. The ink is Versa Mark and the gold embossing powder by Stamp N Plus. The card base is by Recollections and I've distressed the edges with distress ink by Ranger and sprayed it with water. The boat image was stamped with Versa Color ink and after it dried I die cut it out with a Design Objectives die cut and inked the inside with distress ink before taking the paper out of the die. Then I put all the pieces together to make my card. 

 I took a fall on Monday and was forced to go to bed instead of doing my post. I'm OK. I just tripped over the dog and he's OK too. So
I have 4 manly cards to share from blog land and I hope you will stop by their blogs and leave them a comment. Who doesn't love comments I always say. Have fun and check out my card at the bottom when you are finished.

Christmas Cards All Year Round November

Christmas Cards All Year Round starts a new challenge today of no patterned paper on your Christmas cards.  For my card I dry embossed the holly leaves background, folder by The Paper Studio, and then I put green ink on the leaves and Smooch ink on the berries. The white cardstock is by Recollections and the green and red by Coredinations. The tree stamp is by Inkadinkado stamped with Versa Color green ink and the sentiment by Gina Marie ink Stampin Up red ink. There is a small red ribbon with a white dotted line at the bottom along with a jute by Tim Holtz and a button.

Thanks for looking.

Best Wishes Butterfly

I'm loving a blue and purple color combo lately. For this card I stamped and heat embossed the background with Versa Mark ink and myStamp Box white embossing powder onto white Recollections cardstock. Then I inked the entire area with Ranger's distress ink and sprayed it generously with water mixed with Perfect Pearls. It has a fabulous shimmer. The background and butterfly stamps are by Hero Arts and the sentiment by Stampin Up. The butterfly is stamped with Memento Ink and the sentiment with Hero Arts black ink. The butterfly was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut out and then layered onto 3 different shapes of die cuts all by Spellbinders. The sentiment is on purple cardstock that has been inked on a Quickutz die cut. There is a Making Memories eyelet on the right of the sentiment die cut. All of these layers where adhered to a white Recollections card base size 4 x 5.5.

Thanks for looking.

Sitting Here Cat

I have a quick sort of Halloween card to share tonight. I love cats and my hubby hates them. So this will be as close to one as I get. I colored the Inkadinkado image in with Copic Markers and cut it out. I positioned it onto a Sizzix die cut and then a Spellbinders die that has been distressed with distress ink by Ranger. The polka dot paper is by Making Memories and I can't remember the manufacturer for the diagonal stripes. The border is cut out with my Cricut, the letters for the sentiment are by Lawn Fawn, and to finish, the black cardstock is by Recollections. 

Thanks for looking.

Halloween cards

I have Halloween cards to share today. They were possibilities for a class I taught with Halloween cards. For the first one I cut a circle out of a Post It and adhered it to my card base. I used distress ink and an ink blender both by Ranger to create the crazy sky with a large moon. The tombstone die is by Quickutz out of Making Memories patterned paper. The orange cardstock at the bottom is by Bazzill. It is stamped with an Inkadinkado sentiment stamp in Hero arts black ink and a Jolee's pumpkin sticker.

My second card uses stamps that I borrowed from a friend so I'm not sure on the manufacturer but I do know the die cut with the ghost in it is by Spellbinders and the paper for that die cut is by Sunborn. The patterned paper again is by Making Memories which has it's edges inked with distress ink, the orange cardstock is by Bazzill {can you tell I had strips of the same cardstock on hand?} and the cat border is by K and Co. The black and white pattern strip at the bottom is washi tape from my local scrapbook store. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Manly Monday Brick Retirement card

I was asked to make cards for retiring staff members, or in this case, he was leaving this job for another. The committee gave each person a brick with their name on it that will pave the front entrance to the school.

 I used a Darice brick dry embossing folder on white cardstock and rubbed Versa Mark on them and heat embossed the bricks with white embossing powder by myStamp Box. Then I heat embossed the name and sentiment with Lawn Fawn alphabet stamps. The ribbon is by Offray, and the cardstock by Recollections
