Sympathy and Get Well

Get Well

My best friend has been very ill for the last month, and is being transferred to a hospital out of the area for treatment.  I made this card for her and the sentiment inside says "When you hear the bird sing, may it remind you that I am thinking of you, and wishing you get well soon."

I used Stampin' Up papers Baja Breeze and Very Vanilla.  The bird from Garden Collage was stamped onto watercolor paper and colored with a Blender pen and inks in Pool Party; So Saffron; Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzazz.

Sympathy

Sadly my Stampin' Up upline demonstrator passed away just before Christmas.  She was a wonderful leader and always inspiring all of us.  She taught us everything there is to know about card making and crafting, and her cheerful, patient, and awesome guidance is sorely missed. 

I made this card for her family.  God bless you, Les.

I used Stampin' Up papers Very Vanilla and Sage Shadow.  The butterfly from Garden Collage was stamped with StazOn ink onto watercolor paper and colored with a Blender Pen and inks in Pool Party; Marina Mist; So Saffron, More Mustard; Chocolate Chip and Pear Pizzazz.

The designer paper is from a Mat Pad by Susan Winget for K&Company, I love the gental blue butterflies and it matched my watercoloring perfectly.

Valentine Love Notes Mini Album

This sweet little Mini Love Notes Album is for writing your love notes.  Each 3x6 inch page has a different stamped image on each side of the 15 pages with plenty of room for your thoughts.

Cover designer papers are Pebbles "Floral Lane" topped with a piece of My Mind's Eye "A Happy Heart."  The post card on the cover measures 2¼ by 4½ inches and is stamped  with Stampin' Up "Winter Post" and "Postage Due" and  Inkadinkado "Special Thoughts."  The Scott's Roses seed packet was downloaded from the internet and sized to 1¾x2½"  the heart is a Sizzix die cut from lightweight chipboard and sprinkled with glitter.  A tiny little button was sewn to a ⅜"pink circle and glued to the heart.  Inside cover was also covered with My Mind's Eye paper.

Valentine Tag Mini Album

Valentine Tag Mini Album

This sweet little mini album was made with paper scraps collected over the years, so I'm sorry that I don't have the names for the designer papers used.

Cover is made by cutting two  3¼ by 6¼ cereal box chipboard pieces and covering them with red card stock.  A 12 inch piece of ribbon was added between the card stock cover and designer paper, closure is a Velcro dot glued to the ribbon and a brad with the prongs removed is attached to the top of the ribbon closure with glue.

The inside of of the accordion fold base is a 12 x 12 piece of gray card stock folded in half then in quarters, the fold goes toward the bottom with the openings at the top and sides for the tags.  I cut out slots for the tags and use a heart punch for the tag pulls.

This is a quick, easy and fun project.  Make one today and share your love notes with your sweetheart by Valentine's Day.

Christmas

Warm Winter Wishes - 2 Ways

I decided to try this card two ways, one as an oval and the other as a round.  The poinsettia is from Clear Dollar Stamps - Flower of the Month (5887).  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up set Winter Memories (127937)

After stamping the image on Stampin' Up Very Vanilla card stock, I cut it out using a Spellbinders oval die cut.  Leaving the image on the die I sponged around the edges with Ranger Distress Ink in Antique Linen.  I then colored with Copic Markers BG000, G40 and E42, highlighting areas with glue pen and sprinkling with fine glitter.  The image was sewn onto a Spellbinders scalloped oval.  I also sewed the background card stock from My Mind's Eye Stomp to a piece of Stampin' Up Marina Mist.  The card base and ribbon are also Stampin' Up. 

For my second version I changed up the background paper to  a K& Company mat pad called "Botanical".  I used the same technique as for the blue card but used Copic Markers R30, E42 and G40.  The ribbon is Martha Stewart.

Thanks for looking.

Christmas

For All My Four Legged Friends

I needed a card for our local vet and a friend who is a dog groomer, not having many doggie stamps I visited our local scrapbook store to find that they were having a blowout sale on all stamps and picked up these little guys by PSX for just $1.  I also purchased a set of 32 inchie stamps by All Night Media that included the santa hat also just $1, whoo hoo, what a deal.

I used SU Garden Green as a base and stamped the sentiment on Whisper White from the SU Greetings of the Season set (128033).  I stamped the pups and hats on Whisper White, colored with Copics and cut them out placing them on a half-oval and cut shag on the edges.
