Card for my mom

I think it is safe to share the card I sent to my mom in Florida. She should have gotten her card by now so it is okay if I share it with all of you!

Actually I mailed hers before I took a picture of it but I made a few that were very similar and did take pictures of those. I used the Manhattan Flowers Textured Impressions Die in my Big Shot. Before I put the paper in I put Pretty in Pink Classic ink on both sides of the folder then I put two pieces of Whisper White card stock in and put it through the Big Shot. After I took it out I used a sponge dauber to add Regal Rose to the centers of the flowers. I was very pleased with how they came out! I used the second one to make a card for my mother-in-law.

As you can see when you send two pieces of paper through one has the impressed design and one has the raised design. On this one I used the sponge dauber to add ink to the raised parts of the flower. This adds dimension to the edges of the petals.

Enjoy!

More Birthday Cards

I have few more birthday cards to share with you from the Birthday Card Class from a few weeks back.

This one uses the All Star and Just Baseball sets. So cute for a little boy or even for a big guy that loves the sport or plays in a summer rec league! This could very easily be converted to a scrapbook page for all you scrapbookers out there!

This beautiful card uses the Branch Out set. I love the simplicity and serenity of this card!!! The greeting is from Sincere Salutations which is a set I use a lot because it has words for nearly every occasion.

I hope you enjoy these cards and hopefully I can continue posting at least a few times every week. Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy your day whatever it may bring your way!

Happy Mother's Day

So I wish a very Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!! Today is a day for you to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labors the other 364 days a year!! I hope that each of you gets to spend some time today doing what you love best and that you get to feel pampered and special for at least some part of today!

I am very sorry for going MIA for so long! I have been working on a couple of personal projects. Our son is graduating from Keene High in just over a month. I have been working on a scrapbook for him and I also stamped the graduation announcements.

If you are one of the people that don't like Sock Monkey you may want to skip down a bit and check out the birthday cards below.

A few weeks ago we had a birthday card class where the participants created 10 birthday cards for all types of birthday recipients including kids, men, and ladies. I shared a couple of the cards the last time I posted. We made a couple cards using the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set. We also used Eastern Blooms, Embrace Life and Branch Out to create other cards for this class.

This is the card we made using Embrace Life. It was stamped in Stazon ink on vellum and then we used the stylus on the back of the image to rub the flowers which turns the vellum white.

I love this card! What a great guy card, right? We used the Sweet Slumber Specialty DSP. This month Stampin' UP! has a great special on all the Designer Series Paper including the Specialty Paper and also the textured cardstock.
