Gold Leaf Flower

 Hello Everyone!

Feeling the cool down here in Michigan. Love it!  Nice and cool at night too.  

Wanted to share a card I made with a really great stamp set from Stampin' Up called Art Gallery.  I made lots of cards using this set and will be posting them over the next month or so.  

I used a glue pad to apply the gold leaf.  This flower stamp is a two step stamp.  I used the stamp that would be used as shading and applied the glue from the glue pad.  I stamped as would normally do.  And then applied the gold leaf to the glue area.  Worked really well.  

 I did not add sentiments yet.  I will add sentiments later. 

So glad you stopped by today. See you next time for a few more of the Gold Leaf Flower cards.  I also have a coffee themed Halloween card coming up in October.  See you soon!

Whole Page Stamping Part Two

Hello Everyone,

Back today with more of my whole page stamping cards.  

Stamps: Artistically Inked and A Touch of Ink from Stampin' Up

I stamped a whole page of white cardstock and cut into pieces.

Here is the whole sheet.

This is card number two.  The first card can be seen in the previous post.  Again, I made a larger card.  This one is 5 x 6.5.  

Inside of card.

I had so much fun with this technique that I stamped another sheet.  I made the card below with that.

I added some die cuts to this piece.  I did not add any sentiments.  I will decide on that later when I want to give the card to someone special.

So glad you stopped by today.  I always enjoy sharing my projects with other crafty persons.  

See you again soon!

Whole Page Stamping Part One

 Hello Everyone!

Back today with a series of cards I made from a whole page stamping.  I stamped a 8.5 x 11 piece of white cardstock and then cut it into smaller pieces for my cards.

I used the Stampin' Up stamp set called Artistically Inked.  Humming bird is from A Touch of Ink (Stampin' Up).  Inks are Ranger Adirondack.  

Below is the whole sheet of cardstock that I filled with stamped images.

I made two large cards from this sheet.  Below is the first card.  It is a 5.5 inch square.  I will share the second card in my next blog post.

The sentiment is stamped on velum and punched out. Humming Bird is fussy cut.

See another card I made with this set here.  I will be back with more of the cards made with the whole page stamping in the next post.  I found this technique very enjoyable.  Really lets you get  creative and the card comes together easily.

See you soon.

Anniversary Card with Silver

 Hello Everyone!

Here today with a floral anniversary card. I used some new supplies from Stampin' Up.

Stamp and die  Bundle called Artistically Inked.  Inks are Ranger Adirondack.  

The large floral  die is cut from glitter paper.  I also added silver glitter glue, silver ribbons, and a silver heart charm.

The large flowers are stamped onto the white background and the swirly watercolor looking areas are also a stamp.  I used that stamp to fill in the background all around the large flower stamped images.

Inside of card.

Well, I like how this project turned out.  I will send this card to a special couple.  Wow, September already!! Summer went by pretty quickly.  See you next time with more cards.
