Pot of Gold

Combined some stickers with stamps to make this card.  The words were stamped with a Gamma Green Brillance pad onto the cream paper which was punched out with a Marvy pink oval.  That was layered onto a purple scalloped punch piece.  The shammrocks and pot are the stickers.  Two ribbons were knoted together and glued down.  This was all layered onto printed paper, then cream paper, and then onto the green card.

Memory Box Technique Card

You may have noticed that I have begun doing classes again.  Did think it was time to update my Technique classes and this is one of the new cards for my Stamping Techniques I class.  The world of stamping is ever changing.  In making this card you'll learn how to color different colors on a stamp, how to use dye and pigment inks, how to incorporate punches, and how glitter glue works, and how a few embellishments complete a card.  I'm still working on the cards, so the store site doesn't have the changes yet on the class description.  Keep posted here for more peeks at what's coming for this class.

Sew Happy Card

I have a friend who loves to sew.  This paper seemed perfect for her.  Then button and brad scissors seemed a good fit with the paper.  The words are by Hero Arts. 

Lockhart Apples Card

Copic markers were used to color in the picture.  I'm trying to expand my coloring skills with the Copics.  Lockhart images are small and seem a good way to work on the coloring a little bit at a time.
The pink Marvy round punch was used around the apples, and then the purple Marvy round punch was used on the green piece.  A tab punch was used on the "Happy Birthday" piece which was slipped behind the ribbon.  Inside is stamped,"His fruits manifested in you are a delight to behold."

Spring Action Birthday Card

What you can't see in this card is that the "Make a wish" is attached to a self adhesive spring.  The card was stamped with a background stamp by Cat's Pajamas onto the card.  Then a white piece and a piece of ribbon were attached next.  Finally, the preprinted piece was placed on top.  Some irridescent glitter glue was added to each flame.

Embossed Birthday

Here's another version of the embossed Cuttlebug folder.  This time I punched it out with a purple Marvy round punch.  Double stick tape was layered twice on the back so it is raised enough for the folded flowers to fit behind it.  Small blue gems were added to the middle of a few of the flowers.  Paper and felt flowers were used.

Embossed Birthday Card

Took one of my embossing folders for the Cuttle Bug and used it to make for one of the many birthdays coming up in March.  The background on the green used a paisley background stamp by Impression Obsession and was stamped in blue. On the edges of the card a white pigment pad was rubbed on the edges of the card.  The white behind the words is white card stock that was punched through an EK Success punch so the candles show at the top.  A little bit of glitter glue was added to each flame.  The lace is actual lace found at a flea market.
