My Floral birthday card 7/23/13

My Floral card

This was a fun and pretty quick card to make. To make this card I sponged the background card with wasabi inkpad and pool party then I took my Stampin' Up stamp set "Secret Garden"  item # 129144and stamped my images on top of the sponging to get that fun effect. I then took one of my framelits from my "Apothecary set item #127003" to cut out my shape on front of the card and stamped another image on that. For the Happy birthday tag I used the "Ticket duo builder" item #126883

"Hello There" card 7/11/13 July

"Hello There Card"

 

This card was quick and easy. To create this card I used and unknown stamp and thought it would be a great stamp to watercolor. The water colors I used were pearl essence water colors and it was the first time I used these and thought that the water color turned out pretty good. for the flowers they were made from a sizzix die cut, but this time instead of using card stock I chose to use material to give it a different texture, this was the first time I used this bigz die and cut material with it and it turned out better than expected. I was really happy with the way this card turned out overall. Hope you like this simple card.

Item #5 (Free Bird Sings)

I had a lot of fun making this different shaped oval card. To start I used the Stampin' Up! "ovals Framelits" item #129381 to cut out the shape of the card. Then I used a smaller Framlit and embossed  it with :Grain Wood" embossing folder item # 127821. To make the bird I used the "Bird Builder" punch item# 117191, for the cute flowers I used the "Boho Blossoms" punch item # 119858 and glued all the little flowers together then embellished with a pearl in the center. added 3 brads, ribbon and added a cute little clothes pin to hold the message.

Item #6 (A Lacy Hello)

This was really fun to make. First I started off with a base color card stock from Stampin' Up! called "Smoky Slate" the next color card stock in the card I used was "Pool Party" , "Blushing Bride" and white card stock in which I stamped the images on. After picking out my card stock I decided on the stamps i wanted to use and i chose to use "Lacy and Lovely" stamp set by Stampin' Up! item # 122887. The ink pads that I chose to stamp my images with are Basic grey,crumb cake,pool party and regal rose. After stamping the images I decided to embellish the stamps with jewels, ribbon. I also used a border punch to the card called "Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch" item # 119275. 

Item # 7 (Tea Party Fun)

I have always enjoyed a great cup of hot tea, growing up in Australia and being an Australian citizen we definitely enjoy drinking tea. To make this card I wanted to choose Jewel tone card stock, blues, greens and purples. I again i used the "Dotted Scallop border punch" Item # 119275 and for the embossing i used a fun embossing folder called "Chevron" item # 127749. I just love adding different textures to different cards. The stamp set I chose to use was "Tea Shoppe" which I believe has retired now. I used the "Boho Blossoms" flower punch to create the flower and added a jewel, brads 1/8 inch silver by Stampin' Up! To stamp the image i used "Garden green" stamp pad by Stampin' Up!
