Window Views Part One

 Hello Everyone

Wanted to share more of the cards I have been working on for months.  Most of them went to my BFFs and I kept a few.  This is a collection of cards featuring a window view. I used one stamp and die set and varied how I stamped the images on the cardstock and how the die cuts were used.  

Stamp and Die set: Welcoming Window from Stampin' Up

A brick wall dry embossing folder was used on the first two cards.

This was inspired by a card on the Stampin Up web site. And is nice and simple and so sweet for a friend.

I hate to repeat myself but, the cards were really fun to make, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.  My BFFs loved them too.   See you next time with more of the window scene cards.

More Garden Scenes

 Hello Everyone

Wanted to share more of the cards I have been working on for months.  Most of them went to my BFFs and I kept a few.  This is a collection of cards featuring a garden scene. I used one stamp set and varied how I stamped the images on the cardstock.  I used lots of different colors and just kept stamping and stamping. This set of cards are styled in a more Clean and Simple way.

Stamp and Die set: Grace's Garden from Stampin' Up

All cards are colored with watercolor markers.

Die cut ovals were added to the first card. 

I added a kitten and bird in some of the cards.  So cute.

So just a nice bunch of cards to send out for any occasion.  See you again soon for more cards. They will feature a window scene. 

Hope you have a lovely day.

Stamp and Die set: Grace's Garden from Stampin' Up

All cards are colored with watercolor markers.

Cards 1 - 3 are all stamped directly on the white cardstock.  I used a mask to stamp the fence behind the flowers.

On the 4th card I die cut the gate and all the flowers.  I created a background with green cs for the ground and blue for the sky.

I do have a few more of the garden scene cards which I will post next time.  Hope you are enjoying the cards and that they evoke feelings of Spring.

Lovely Garden Gate

 Hello Everyone

Wanted to share more of the cards I have been working on for months.  Most of them went to my BFFs and I kept a few.  This is a collection of cards featuring a garden scene. I used one stamp set and varied how I stamped the images on the cardstock.  I used lots of different colors and just kept stamping and stamping.  I did get carried away. (Are we surprised??  Not) LOL.  But there was a lot of scope with this stamp set and each one looks unique.

Floral Cards with Embossed and Die Cut Backgrounds

 Hello My Crafting Friends,

I am back with a few more of the cards I have been industriously making over the last several months.

On the cards below I have used the Beautifully Happy Stampin' Up stamp again.  

Card 1: I dry embossed white cardstock for the background.  

Card 2 and 3: I used a die from Spellbinders to die cut the hem stitch design on white cardstock.  I used a plum distress ink on the white CS to color.

This card uses yellow distress ink to color the white cardstock background.

On the last card, I used peach cardstock for the background and completed the card in the same manner as the others. 

Again, a nice set of all occasion cards.  I will keep a couple and the rest I will send out to my BFFs.  

So glad you stopped in today.  See you again soon.

Karen
