CAS Christmas Card

I made this card using Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflakes and Everyday Sentiment Banners, W Plus 9 Hand Lettered Holidays stamps and dies and My Favorite Things Bold Diagonals background stamp.

I stamped the background to begin with VersaFine Satin Red ink and whilst it dried I die cut the snowflake and the Merry word.  I also stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and die cut it with the banner die.  I used a length of gold glitter tape to create a ribbon loop and then stacked the other elements on top with foam tape to add some dimension between the layers. To finish I die cut the background panel and added it to a top folding card base.  I then attached the stacked elements and finally I added glossy accents to the Merry die cut.

I am adding this card to the CAS(E) this Sketch #342 challenge.

Warm Wishes Christmas Card

This card was made using Avery Elle Warm Wishes stamps and dies, Lawn Fawn Merry Messages, Everyday Sentiment Banner dies and stitched Journalling Card die, Stampin’ Up  Merry Medley stamp, Hero Arts embossing powder and ink and finally Bazzill cardstock.

I began by stamping the background stamp in white pigment ink and set it aside to dry while I stamped the images and simply coloured them with Copic markers.  I also stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and then die cut all the elements.  I assembled the scene using foam tape in places for dimension and  added a gold glitter strip behind the sentiment banner and then assembled the finished card.

Merry & Bright - CAS Christmas Card

A simple, easily replicated CAS Christmas card that was inspired by the Metallic challenge at Less Is More .

I used Avery Elle Noel dies, Lawn Fawn Merry Messages stamps, Everyday Sentiment Banners dies, Alpaca Bazzill cardstock and Hero Arts Copper embossing powder.

I die cut the snowflake first and then heat embossed it several times with the copper powder.  I stamped and embossed the sentiment in white and then die cut with the banner.  I attached the 2 elements together with foam tape and adhered it to the card base with a little more foam tape to create dimension.

I Just Miss You Card

To make this card I used My Favorite Things Springtime Blooms, Simon Says Stamp Wide Stripe Background stamp, MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangle Stax, Lawn Fawn Everyday Sentiment Banners,  Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Mix and Wink Of Stella in Clear.

I first of all stamped the background onto a top folding card base with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  While this dried I stamped and coloured the flower.  I then die cut the soft blue layer and adhered the flower with foam tape.  I heat embossed the sentiment and die cut it.  I added this over the flower stem using foam tape again.  I then added a light layer of Wink of Stella and finished with a few sequins.

I am adding this card to the Less Is More - 325 challenge.

Spring Weather Card

This card was made using Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine dies, Paper Smooches Luminous Spring and My Favorite Things cardstock.

A very simple card with die cuts layered together and added to a top folding card base.  The sentiment was then stamped and finally the raindrops added and given some shine with Glossy Accents.

Vellum Snowflake Card

This card was made using Hero Arts Hand Drawn Snowflakes Bold Prints stamp, Hero Arts white embossing powder, Bazzill vellum and cardstock, Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Mix, Distress Ink in Peacock feathers, Lawn Fawn Let It Snow.

I began by heat embossing the snowflake stamp onto vellum.  This was set aside while I inked the background layer with Peacock Feathers ink.  The snowflake layer was adhered embossed side down to give the finished card a more matte appearance.  The sentiment was heat embossed onto black cardstock next and then I layered all the elements together using foam tape behind the sentiment.  Finally, the sequins were adhered randomly across the card front.

Thank You Card

This card was made using Stampin' Up Mixed Bunch stamp set and co-ordinating punch, My Favorite Things Layered Leaves and Stitched Strip dies, Lawn Fawn Let's Polka paper pack, My Favorite Things Adorable Elephants stamps and Bazzill Cardstock.

The square layer was die cut with the stiched dies and adhered flat to a top folding card base.  The flower was punched out and the centre stamped layer added with foam tape for dimension.  The leaves and pattern paper strip were die cut next and then the main focal image was assembled.  Before adding this the sentiment was stamped in MFT Cement Gray ink.

Rainbow Chevrons 2 ways

 This card was made using Elle-ments Chevron Bits, Lawn Fawn Big Scripty Words stamps and dies, Pretty Pink Posh droplets in 4 and 6mm sizes and Bazzill cardstock.

The die cut pieces were lined up in rainbow order and adhered flat to the top folding card base.  The sentiment was then stamped and die cut with a foam layer for dimension.  The final step was to adhere the droplets.

        

 

I then made this version using watercolour card and distress inks.

Thinking of You Card with Lawn Fawn butterflies

This card was created with Lawn Fawn Flutter By stamps and dies, My Favorite Things Blueprints 22, Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Salty Ocean, Twisted Citron and Mustard Seed, Avery Elle Petals & Stems, Pretty Pink Posh sequins and Bazzill cardstock.

I created the watercolour background first on hot pressed Strathmore watercolor card and set it aside to dry while I stamped and embossed the butterflies and sentiment with Ranger Super Fine Detail embossing powder.  I die cut the watercolour panel and adhered it with foam to a card base.  I then added the butterflies, sequins and sentiment.

Get Well Soon Cards

These cards were created with Taylored Expressions Souper

 Soon, Lawn Fawn On The Mend, Doodlebug Twine, Die-namics

 Inside/Outside Stitched Circles and Bazzill cardstock.

I stamped both images and used the co-ordinating dies to cut 

them out.  I coloured the soup can with Copics and paper pieced

the tissue box.  I then created the front panel by die-cutting an

aperture.  It looked a little plain so I used a scoreboard to add 

horizontal lines.  Twine was wrapped around the top of card.  I 

stamped the sentiment and then adhered all the elements

 to a top folding card base using foam tape for dimension.

The inside of the card was finished with a further image

 and sentiment.

Bright Birthday Balloons

A bright, bold birthday card to cheer up the dull

winter days.

I began by die cutting all the elements needed for this card.

I then adhered them, some flat and some with foam tape for 

dimension.  I stamped the sentiment on another die cut and

added it with foam tape.  The final step was to add 3 gems to

balance the card.

I kept the inside simple with another sentiment and a balloon

die cut.

For You Birthday Card

 To make these cards I used My Favourite Things 

Blueprints 13, Bold Diagonal Stripes Background Stamp, 

Die-namics Pierced Circles Stampin' Up Blossom Punch,

 Lawn Fawn Stitched JournalingCard, Avery Elle

 Oh Happy Day and Bazzill cardstock.

I stamped the background first with Midnight Black Versamagic

 ink and set it aside to dry.  I then die cut the white layer and

punched the flowers.  I stamped the sentiment and then 

assembled the card.  I added foam tape between the flower layers

for dimension but everything else was adhered flat.

I also made this pink version alongside the yellow.

Baby cards

 Baby cards created with Stampin Up Gorgeous Grunge, Lawn

Fawn Scripty Congrats, Avery Elle Dotted ELLEments and

Lawn Fawn Plus One.

I began by stamping the background.  I used Picked Raspberry 

Distress ink and stamped 3 times without re-inking.  I then

stamped the sentiment before adhereing the word die cut.  I

finished by adding some sparkle to the word with a Wink

 of Stella brush pen.

I then created the baby boy version in exactly the same way

except I used Salty Ocean distress ink.

Butterfly Watercolour

I created the watercolour background for this card with 

Distress Inks.  After it was dry I stamped and heat

embossed the sentiment.  I added the large die 

cut butterfly and finished with 2 punched butterflies, 

sequins and 3 pearls I coloured with Copics.

From All of Us

I started today by die cutting all the elements for my card.

I used MFT Blueprints 13 and 25, Pierced Circles and 

Fresh Cut Flowers.  I then stamped and heat embossed the Lawn

Fawn sentiment.  the background wood effect was an Impression 

Obsession stamp.  I affixed all the layers at varying height using foam tape

and glue.

I stamped another Lawn Fawn sentiment on the inside and added another 

flower.

Under The Weather?

I began this card by applying embossing paste to a piece of

vellum using a MFT stencil.  While waiting for that to dry I

prepared the other elements of the card.

I stamped and embossed the first sentiment on a grey piece of

card and the second on a label shape.  The clouds were cut

from wool felt and the sun is a pierced circle.

I adhered the elements to each other and then added them to the 

vellum layer with foam tape. I added a blue layer before attaching

it all to a white card.

Hey There

I began this card by stamping and embossing some of the 

flowers from Lawn Fawn Flutter By set.  I then 

watercoloured using distress inks.  While they were drying

I created the rest of the card.

I made a shaker element using circle dies, foam tape, acetate

and sequins then added a striped paper from a Lawn Fawn 

paper pad.  I die cut the flowers and leaves and adhered them

then finished with a sentiment and a few more sequins.

Birthday Cupcake

The sun was shining when I started making this card so I was

inspired to pick sunshine yellow cardstock.  It started raining

about 10 minutes later!

Anyway, I began with the cupcake. Using Mama Elephant stamps

and dies I stamped and cut the cupcake base and cut the top

from a sheet of Lawn Fawn paper.  I added the base flat onto a circle cut

using MFT Pierced Circles and the layered that onto a Bloomin' Stacklets 2

die cut from Taylored Expressions.

 For the white layer I used Taylored Expressions Curly border die to add

interest.  I then stamped my sentiment, adhered everything and finished

 with some Pretty Pink Posh sequins in Lemon Drop.

Party Time

I picked blues and silver along with white for my colour

palette today.  I began by creating a background using a

MFT background stamp called Happy Birthday Background.

I layered that on a piece of the darkest blue card. 

Next I cut a variety of balloons using Lawn Fawn Party Balloons dies.

I adhered them to the stamped layer at varying heights to create

dimension.  I added a sentiment by Paper Smooches before 

cutting and adhering stars from Mama Elephant Lots of  Stars die.

I finished by adding twine strings to the balloons.

This is the first card I have photographed with my new camera, I

have a steep learning curve ahead of me!

I also made a pink version in the same way.

Sorry

I began this card by cutting some elements from MFT Blueprints 23.

I then watercoloured butterflies which I had stamped, heat embossed and

 cut using Lawn Fawn Flutter By.  I adhered all the elements then stamped

 and attached a Paper Smooches sentiment and finished with some sequins.
