Flowers in a Row

This is another stamping adult ed card - this time by Pam.  It's time consuming placing all the little flowers and leaves, but I like the results.

The base card is folded on the top instead of the left edge and is a light gray and embossed with a Sizzix embossing folder.  The pink cardstock for the flowers and scalloped strip is Pink Pirouette (SU) and the leaves are made using the Walk in My Garden Cricut cartridge and Certainly Celery cardstock (SU) and the veins on the leaves were made with a Certainly Celery marker (SU).  The flowers are cut with a punch by EKSuccess.  The pink ribbon has a picot edge and is 1/4" wide (Offray).  I used Perfect Pearls (Ranger) for the flower centers.

Butterflies

I am not sure who originally designed this card, but the first time I made this card my friend, Gloria, showed us how in our local stamping adult ed class.  I decided it would be ideal for birthdays.

Thank you TyAnn for the use of your punch and to Gloria for sharing this card with me!

Card base is Always Artichoke (SU), both mats are black and the printed DP is SU.  The olive DP is from a pack of paper I bought years ago at my local Pamida store and sort of looks like a crackle design. I used the Labels Framelits dies (SU) for my layers and the Boho Blossom punch for flowers (not sure of the purple cardstock!).  For the butterflies, I first stamped with one of the flowers from the Mixed Bunch stamp set (SU) with embossing ink, then embossed with white embossing powder.  Then I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die(SU).  I stamped flowers on the center DP in black, but I'm not sure what stamp set they are from (sorry!).  The leaves from cut using a die from Sizzix. 

Cheers!

This card started out with all squares and then I decided it was too plain, so I set everything at an angle.

The margarita glass is from an old stamp set called "Southwest" and I'm not sure of the company.  The background stamp is from SU, and the cardstock colors are Very Vanilla and Always Artichoke from SU, cut in 1/2" increments.  I printed the sentiment with my computer and printer, then trimmed to size.

Gears & More Gears

This card was made using Sizzix/Tim Holtz mini gear dies (movers and shapers) and the gears embossing folder.  I distressed the gears using Weathered Wood and Rusty Hinge Distress Inks.  The background cardstock is a light gray and the card base is black.



Orange it is!

Here's a color I rarely use in a card - orange!

This is one very bright card!

Cars

This card is made with the "Need for Speed" stamp set from SU.  I've actually made it in a few color combinations.

Graduation Hedgie

I really enjoyed making graduation cards this year!  Of course every one was different, depending on school colors.  This stamp set is from Penny Black.

Driving By

It's been a while since I posted, and I've been very busy making cards.  I've gotten all cards done for 2012 and all but Thanksgiving and Halloween for 2013!  So, I'm going to start posting just a few of them and I hope you enjoy! 

This card is for a little boy made with the "I Dig You" stamp set from SU.

Ribbon Wreath Cards

I saw this wreath woven from 1/4" grosgrain ribbon on KT Hom Design blog and just had to make a a few!  Here are the cards I made after weaving!
