Midnight Muse Papaya Collage

Stampin' Up Papaya Collage

in Midnight Muse

Stampin' Up new in color "Midnight Muse" on Whisper White using the new stamp set Papaya Collage. 

I cut the frame out and used dimentionsals to elevate it over a piece of Whisper White stamped with gingko like plant stamp, tiny pearls were added to some of the leaves.  

The butterfly was stamped twice, cut out and glued together in the middle where I added two tiny half pearls and drew antenna, bending the wings up for dimension.  

I stamped the rose and used a 5/8" circle punch to cut it out and glued it to the top of the label stamp, the sides were cut with craft knife and ribbon was threaded through and taped to the back of the Midnight Muse.  I used a dimentionsal behind the rose.

Thank you for looking.  Have a wonderful day.

Welcome Home

Welcome Home

My best friend has been gone on a trip and is returning home today.  Since I was assigned the task of watering her plants while she was gone (no I didn't kill anything) I thought this would be a nice welcome home card for her.

Stampin' Up set "Because I Care" was stamped three times on Whisper White card stock with Momento Black ink, colored with Copic Markers, then cut out.  

Background Madison embossing folder is by Cuttlebug.  Ovals were cut with Nestabilities then pierced with Stampin' Up piercing tool.

Sentiment is computer generated.  This is my second easel card today.

Anniversary

Happy Anniversary

I love this little love bird stamp by Wee Stamps called Bird Swing.

Papers used for this card are by Stampin' Up and Recollections.  I stamped the birds, branch and little flowers twice with Momento black ink, colored in the base stamped image with Copic gray then colored the second one with grays, pinks, green, brown and grays. cut them out and rolled the emobossing tool over the back to give them some shape, flipped over the original and did the same to the cascading flower and leaves.  They were then attached to the gray colored base with Stampin' Up dimensionals.

All flowers are handmade using punches and die cuts.  Leafy Flourish die is by Die-namics.  I used Platinum Liquid Pearls for the corners and on some of the flower centers.  Love heart charm is from Michael's wedding department.  Sentiment is computer generated then cut out with Nestabilities dies.

Mother's Day for Sister

Mother's Day card for my sister.  I stamped the bird and olive branch from Stampin' Up "Touch Of Nature" set onto canvas and colored it tin with Copic markers.  Super simple.  I use sheets of canvas made for the copy machine that can be found at any office supply store.  Cut out circles with Nestabilities dies.  Paper is by Recollections (Michael's brand).

Gesso and Embossing

I tried my hand at using Gesso on a piece of K & Company paper which gives the paper a little tooth to grab the ink.  The flower was stamped onto Vellum in SU More Mustard then embossed with super fine clear embossing powder.  Momento black and was rubbed over the flower and then rubbed off with a paper towel.  I highlighted parts of the flower with LePlume black marker.  I tied thread knots in the center of the flower.

The stamps are from Gina K. Designs "A Year of Flowers".  Card stock is Stampin' Up.

Have Fun Rocking Horse Loli

Have Fun

This card was created using a stamp by Sylvia Zet for SCACD (Susana's Custom Art & Card Design) and this little one is from "The Loli & Poppy Collection" colored with Copic markers.

The papers are by Stampin' Up.  The Have Fun stamp and green jewels are from Michael's $1 bin.  The ribbon is also from Michael's.

ADFD Challenge #41 Add A Feather

ADFD Challenge #41 Add A Feather

This card was made using the little bird provided by Tammy at A Day For Daisies for their Challenge #41 "Add A Feather"  I love birds and the little guy was just begging to be surrounded by beautiful little flower blossoms.  I used circle dies, a Cheery Lyn Designs Fanciful Flourish die and a Punch A Bunch Bellflower punch and colored with Copic markers.  Feathers were added to the little bird.  This was a fun challenge.  Thanks for looking.

Cowgirls Rule

Cowgirls Rule

Set three of the Western Themed cards are two Feminine Birthday Cards.   The pink boot card was posted earlier on my blog in March called "Cowgirl Birthday."  You can see the details for this card on that post.

The second card was made using the SU Out West and Wanted sets.  Stamped on SU Craft card stock.  Melon Mambo was run through the Sizzix Lattice embossing folder then torn and rubbed with Chocolate Chip ink.  Sides of the card stock were distressed and also rubbed with ink.  Sentiment is from Petite Pairs.

the metallion was stamped on craft card stock in Chocolate Chip ink, punched out with circle punch with a hole punched in the center to string the twine through.

Genuine Cowboy

Genuine Cowboy

This is the second set of cards made for my sister from the Stampin'Up sets Bronc Buster and Out West.

I used SU card stock in Craft; Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla.  Spellbinders Nestabilities Squares, Ovals, Scalloped Squares and Labels 18.

The wood like designer paper is from K & Co. Edamame.  Birthday Sentiment is SU Petite Pairs.  Brad is from Recollections.

For the second card I Stamped the paper with Momento brown ink, sprayed with water and rolled it up into a ball, smoothed it out and let it dry to give it the look and feel of leather.  The two little brads are 1/4" paper hole punch outs covered with glossy accents as is the Metallion holding down the bradded paper.  The two strips were run through the Cuttlebug Tiny Bubbles embossing folder.  The entire card was painted over with Mod-Podge.

Bronc Busters

Bronc Buster

My sister in Montana requested a set of masculine birthday cards for her to send to family and friends.  Using the Stampin' Up Bronc Buster set this is what I came up with.  

The designer papers are by Cosmo Cricket and the card stock is Stampin' Up.  Bronc Buster is embossed  with Ranger Super Fine Detail Black.  SU punches used are Modern Label; Curly Label; Circles and Scalloped Circle.

The fence post is a piece of 1/4" by 1 1/2" paper folded in thirds with one section tucked behind the image and on third glued down to the image with the twine strung through the opening.

Metallion (from the Wanted set) and brad are embossed with Recollections Gold.  The blue brads on the second card are 1/4" hole punch outs curved with a McGill embossing tool then glued down and covered with Glossy Accents.

Tea and Cookies Card

Wonderful little gift for Spring or to cheer somebody up. I used SU papers and "Morning Cup" stamp set. Two Pepperidge Farms Sugar Cookies and Twinings Irish Breakfast Tea bag. The Teabag and Cookie Holder instruction sheet by Chiaki Haverstick can be found here: http://stampingpro.com/wp-content/up...kieholder2.pdf

Watercolored Bird

I totally cased this card from Dini's blog found here:http://mamadinis.blogspot.com/ I used regular and pearlized watercolors then stamped the bird from "You Will Fing Refuge" from Our Daily Bread designs with SU Chocolate Chip ink. I then colored in and highlighted the bird with Copic marker. Since I changed the following, I hope this qualifies for not completely copying Dini's very enchanting card: Back panels are hand made, embossed on MS Score board; Sentiment is computer generated; Leaves die is by Cheery Lyn and pearls are placed on upper part of card. I did not re-stamp the bird, form him and put him over the original. I admire Dini's beautiful watercolors and maybe with much more practice I will get better. Thank you Dini for all of your inspiration.

Faux Pressed Flowers

For the Technique Lovers Challenge 371 Faux Pressed Flowers: Anna Griffin stamp inked with SU Perfect Plum and Old Olive then colored in with Derwent pencils and pressed in the Sizzix Lattice embossing folder. Added the two extra bees at the top, stamped and cut out, with glitter on the wings. Papers used are SU Whisper White, Perfect Plum, marina Mist and So Saffron. Sentiment is computer generated and cut using the SU Modern label punch, 1/8 inch circle punch was used for the "faux" brads topped with Glossy Accents.
