Thinking of You Duck

Ok, my last upload for the nite. I rubbed on the image onto WW cs and then layered onto Tempting Turquoise cs and mounted using mounting tape. I found some ribbon (non SU) that almost matches the Tempting Turquoise cs.

I then stamped "Thinking of You" from the Warmest Regards stamp set in Tempting Turquoise. Easy peasy.

Bear in a Pot

Isn't he just the cutest?!! Once again, I used a rub on. Mounted the WW onto Orchid Opulance cs and then onto non SU cardstock. I wanted the colours the match as closely as posible to the pot - not a bad job I say.

I then punched out the photo corners using Photo Corners Punch, layered them, added a yellow flowered brad and adhered using mounting tape as I wanted to give it some dimension.

Quick and Easy Love Cards

After all those Christmas Cards, I got bored of making more, so I decided to do something differenet. Again, I was at the Dollar Store and I saw these rub ons. I couldn't resist buying them as they were too cute. I did add some kind stamped phrase just so that I can say I stamped it. I've posted the individual pictures below.

This one is a Wedding Card I made. I love making cards for no reason at all as it seems there is absolutely no pressure to produce something you actually like. I stamped the Denami "Wedding Day" on the Real Red cs in White Kraft ink, used a scallped template to cut out the oval scallop and then rubbed on the image.

I then punched the two outer corners using the Step Corner Punch.

This is another cute image from the rub ons. I rounded all four corners using the Round Corner Punch, as well as rounding the Real Red and WW layers.

I then stamped 'love ya bunches' from the Love Ya Bunches stamp set (retired).

I mounted the whole panel using mounting tape giving it some dimension.

This one is my favourite of the three. I punched the corners using the Ticket Corner punch and then layered the main image onto Real Red. I added the Gold Brads to each of the four corners, and then layered again onto WW cs, and last but not least, used mounting tape to adhere to Real Red cs.

I stamped a miscellaneous love phrase to the bottom in black.

Solemn Stillness & Lovely as a Tree

Here are two cards I created and would have made more of thesee, but as time doesn't permit it, I am saving these for next year. Obviously my goal for next year is to complete Christmas Cards sooner than later so that I am not in a position to send home made cards rather than store bought cards.

To create these cards, the first one I used Night of Navy cs as the main card, then I layered with Brushed Gold cs. On Confetti White cs, I stamped the row of trees from Lovely as a Tree once in the middle of the cs and then again without reinking a little higher and to the right a bit.

I then stamped the tree image from Solemn Stillness onto Vellum cs and embossed it with Iridescent Ice EP, stamped tree outline in gold ink, and embossed with Gold EP. Be sure not to heat too much or you will burn the first image.

Attach the Vellum overlay to the Confetti White cs using gold brads. As I like dimensions on my cards, I mounted the white layer with mounting tape.

As for the other card, same idea, just a diferent colour using Wild Wasaib and Purely Pomegranate cs and the Wild Wasabi ink. I then punched the four corners of the Purely Pomegranate with the Step Corner Punch (retired).

Madonna and Child - Paper Piecing

I had borrowed the Madonna and Child from a client as I was using it for a class and had promised to make some cards for her using this set. I actually goofed on the main card and was trying to cover up my mistakes by paper piecing this layout. All supplies are SU unless specified. I used Night of Navy as the main card and layered it with the Brushed Silver Card Stock, layed again with the Holiday Thyme DP.

For the dove, as I didn't have Night of Navy Craft Ink, I stamped the stamp onto Versamark first and then onto Night of Navy ink, sprinkled Iridescent EP on and embossed. It is much prettier in real life.

Sorry for the blurry picture, but this was the best one of the lot that I had taken.

Quick and Easy Christmas Cards

Here are a series of cards I made using $1 store stickers. I couldn't pass them up as they were too cute. I used Always Artichocke as the main card colour, mounted with Cranberry Crisp, and the main focal point, I used Confetti White. Applied the stickers and finished off with some brads. I posted each individual phots below.
