Happy Thanksgiving- card

Hello and welcome to today's post. I have a water-colored Thanksgiving card for you today that was pretty easy to create with the ink refills used. The drying time is the only thing that makes this project time-consuming. I created a separate water color panel and then stamped the leaf images on top of the dried ink. Of course I can't create a card without a little bling so I sprinkled the card front with some sequins. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think.

Supplies:
.

Additional supplies: Fun foam, ATG, clear blocks, Strathmore Watercolor paper,  water and a paintbrush.

  1. Create a card base from Perfect Plum card stock to measures 5 ½” x 8 ½”and score at 4 ¼”. Make it a top fold card.
  2. Cut a piece of Watercolor paper and ink the top portion with Crushed Curry ink and all the edges with Pear Pizzazz ink. Splatter the whole panel with Pear Pizzazz and Perfect Plum ink using a paintbrush and water.
  3. Cut a piece of Perfect Plum card stock that measures ¾” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the watercolor panel about a 1/3” of the way up front the bottom of the card base. Next, cut a ½” x 5 ¼” strip from the scrap of watercolor paper, stamp the sentiment with Pear Pizzazz ink and adhere centered to the Perfect Plum strip.
  4. Create a panel (big enough to stamp 4 leaves on) of water-color on watercolor paper using Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Perfect Plum and Pear Pizzazz inks. Let dry and then stamp leaves onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo black ink and then die-cut with coordinating framelits.
  5. Pop one leaf up with foam tape and tie a bow with linen thread and adhere to the bottom of the leaf and then adhere to the card front on the left side of the focal. Adhere the whole watercolor panel to the card base.
  6. Sprinkle with gold sequins.

The inside of the card was left blank for a personal message.

I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration. Thank you for visiting.

Hang Your Stocking Christmas card 7-28-19

Hello crafters and welcome to some Christmas inspiration on the blog today. I am in the process of using up my stash and making as many cards as possible before the hustle bustle of the season begins. The card for today features the Hang Your Stocking stamp set and Festive Farmhouse DSP (designer series paper). I stamped the stocking and the sentiment using Cherry Cobbler ink and then stamped the snowflakes with VersaMark ink and heat set with some silver embossing powder. I love how this card came out and more inspiration is on the way. Take a look at the project below and please let me know what you think. Supplies used: . I also popped up the focal image using Scotch 3M Foam tape. I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration. Thank you for visiting.

Graceful Garden friendship card

Here's my second card for the weekend. I just can't stop with the butterflies and I wanted to feature the ink colors in a clean and simple card. Sequins just had to be added for a little sparkle. The colors I used will be retiring soon so if you like them go and grab then while you can. I hope you'll take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. Supplies:

Happy Valentine's Day

Hello and welcome to the first Valentine's card I have created for this year. I had to switch card making mode after making so many Christmas cards. This one was hard for me to finish off after having all of the elements cut and had some help coming up with the finishing touches like the sentiment placement and heart sequins. All of the papers used are Stampin' Up as well as the heart sequins. I really like how this one turned out and hope you will as well.
