Work of Art Thanks

This card features the SU Work of Art stamp set. I used mostly SU inks...Old Olive, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie. The yellow is Powder Puff Lemonade. The sentiment is Paper Smooches, the bling is Triveni and the original idea is here.

Dot Flourish

This card was simply to make but looks so elegant. I simply made a circle stencil using a Spellbinder circle die and sponged ink onto the paper. The colors are Powder Puff Lemonade, SU Pumpkin Pie and SU Old Olive. Then I heat embossed an Inkadinkado Dot Flourish with some espresso embossing powder. Easy peasy!

You

This card features three stamps from the SU Work of Art set. I also used SU Rich Razzleberry ink. The yellow is Powder Puff Lemonade. I wanted to add some color inside the card as well, so I used the same stamp I used for the flower along the inside edge. The bling is Triveni. The original card is here.

Happy Dirtday!

Isn't this a fun card? I used a set from SU and some bright yellow Powder Puff Lemonade ink. The tires in this set never stamp very well so I used some circle dies and Recollections brads for the tires. 

Flowerful Fancy

I used a lot of different inks for this card: Stampin' Up, Memento, ColorBox, Powderpuff. This fun set is from Close to My Heart and I did some masking to get the vases placed close together. A few pieces of Triveni bling give it just enough sparkle.

Winter Birthday Card

I made this card yesterday and am squeezing it in right at the deadline! The October ODBD challenge is to make a non-Christmas card with snowflakes. It also fits the Mid-Month Throwdown of making a winter birthday card.

I started with a cool Embossalicious folder that has all of that pretty embossing in one folder. How cool is that?! I gently rubbed a Powder Puff Lemonade ink pad over the snowflakes and punched out a snowflake to let the blue shine through. The sentiment is Gina K with some Triveni bling added. 

Spin for your birthday

Don't you love spinner cards? This set from Stamps of Life is perfect to make one. I used ColorBox Violet, Memento Lilac Posies and SU Tempting Turquoise for the sentiments. The arrow was cut with a Cricut and colored yellow with Powder Puff Lemonade. For the background, I used a piece of Lily Bee and some brads from American Crafts.

Chevron Thank You

This card is inspired by this card. It was simple to make. All I needed was an EK border punch, some paper scraps and a stamp. Oh, and ink! The stamp is Stampendous stamped in SU Basic Gray and Powder Puff Lemonade.

Let's Celebrate!

When I was getting ready to get inky today, I decided it was time to use up some ribbon. I chose this blue ribbon because it went well with the Memento Danube Blue ink I felt like using. I also used Memento Rhubarb Stalk, Brilliance Chocolate and Powder Puff Lemonade. The stamp set is SU Circle Circus. Three cards similar to this and I completed my task of using up a spool of ribbon!

Birthday Wishes to you!

The May ODBD challenge is to make a card using embossing. I started with some grey DCWV paper that had a rather rough texture, kind of like sand paper but not quite as harsh. Using the Cuttlebug Diamond Plate embossing folder, I dry embossed it then dragged my Powder Puff Coconut ink across it to make the emobssing stand out better. The sentiment is from Stamps of Life and stamped with SU Pacific Point on a Cuttlebug die cut and the ribbon is from my stash. Those brads are Recollections and started out silver, but I wanted them to stand out more so I colored them with a black Sharpie.

#1 Mom

When the Operation Write Home Mother's Day and Father's Day deadlines were looming ever closer, I was working on some cards for those special days, as well as cards that have a mom or dad sentiment. So...here's a card you could send your mom at any time of the year. I started with SU Circle Circus and stamped it in Memento Lilac Posies, Color Box Violet and Powder Puff Lemonade. Next was trimming it down and adding the squares to a piece of popped up white. Then I added the Fiskars sentiment in black, but it looked way too harsh against those pretty colors. I tried it again with SU Tempting Turquoise and it looks so much better. This is my version of a card I found here.
