I made a "get-well" pack of cards for my dad. He's going through chemo right now and wants to write some letters to people to thank them for things they've done for him. He needs his own stash so he stops stealing from my mom's stash. LOL! I can't wait to give them to him! The ideas were CASEed from various sources- mostly splitcoaststampers. He'll get 4 of each design.
I really like the way my first cottage window frame turned out, so I decided to make one for the guest room, too! The window frame is from my grandparents' old cottage. This time I used some extra material I had (from an extra curtain) that matched the bedspread. I also stamped using similar colors to the bedspread. I used the Medallion stamp, and some leaf stamps that are retired. I did lots of sponging with Mellow Moss, which is retired also.
It was a cloudy day, so I decided to spend some time in my stamping room. We went camping at North Trout Lake Campground in the Northern Highland State Forest in July. It was fun to scrapbook the memories!
The Melon Mambo ice cream is made by kissing the ice cream (inked up with Melon Mambo) to the line stamp, and then stamping on Whisper White card stock. I embossed it with clear embossing powder to make it shiny. Looks yummy, huh?!
The folded part in the middle can be any size square. This one is 3 1/2" x 3 1/2". I love that new Cajun Craze card stock!
Early Espresso is yummy, even to a non-coffee drinker like me! To make the sparkle, I mixed shimmer paint with a spritzer bottle of hand-sanitizer. You can also use rubbing alcohol and shimmer paint in a spritzer bottle, but it's a little bit stinkier. The base of the card is made with Crumb Cake card stock, which used to be called Kraft.
Stamp the flowers with White Craft Ink, then the outlines with black (I used Staz-On Jet Black.). Add a little texture with the Color Spritzer Tool and a marker. The red is the new Cherry Cobbler card stock.
My inspiration for this card came from here. I didn't have the DSP, so I just used pieces of card stock. I used the Birds and Blooms dies and the Big Shot to make the flowers. I love the way it looks, and it was quick and easy!
I LOVE this new hostess set (Because I Care). My inspiration for this card came from here. To make the watercolor look of the flower, I inked up the stamp with Elegant Eggplant and Old Olive markers and stamped on Watercolor Paper. Then I used my AquaPainter to mix around the colors a little. To make the corners on the bottom, I stuck the Elegant Eggplant card stock into the side of the round tab punch. I used the Color Spritzer Tool and my Old Olive marker to add a little something to the Old Olive card. It was a quick and easy card!
