Lovely Layers Birthday Card

Hello-

What? 2 posts in one week? I KNOW!!!  I'm taking full advantage of the holiday time off to get crafty and catch up on my blog.

Today's card is a birthday card with a feminine theme. I used Lovely Layers (I LOVE this set!)

I stamped a white panel with the complete design from left to right using Hibiscus Burst ink.  The panel was adhered to a Spring Moss base to coordinate with the other stamped elements.

I stamped the leaf veins on Spring Moss cardstock using Simply Chartreuse ink. Next was a combo of Hibiscus Burst and Pure Poppy, followed by Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise and Canyon Clay.

The inside was stamped with an image from Birthday Tags 2012 in Spring Moss.

Thanks for stopping by!

Masculine Birthday Card

Hello-

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving :-)  I celebrated mine by running a 5k in the morning, and filling up on sweet potatoes in the afternoon! PERFECT!

Today's card is a masculine card I made for my cousin, Jeff.

I stamped the Ocean Tides panel with a background from Market Street Stamps. I used Ocean Tides Ink for the argyle.  

I used Birthday Tags 2012 for the circular element, stamped in Kraft.

The front sentiment and the inside sentiment are both from the Think Big Favorites collection.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stamp-a-Faire - DIY Badge

Well it looks like this might be the last one I am participating in... the sun is setting and there is no more time for crafting tonight :-(  I can't wait to catch up during the week though!

Ok, last challenge - make your own embellishment... for this card, I made the rosette...

The die cut package is from Make a Wish, and the sentiment and stars is from Birthday Tags 2012.

Cards from Leftovers, part 1

Hello-

If you are like me, you just HATE throwing away scraps of paper - especially if its a pattern or color scheme that you particularly love.

That is what happened here.  I had some leftover paper from My Mind's Eye - and I loved the color combo so much, I knew I had to use it all up!

I used a few of the scraps plus some glitter ribbon to create a vertical strip.  I broke that up with a die cut from Happy Day (PTI), a scalloped circle and a stamped tag from 2012 Birthday Tags (PTI).

Thanks for stopping by! Tomorrow I'll show you another card I made using the rest of the leftovers :-)
