Inlay Die Cut Cars 10052022

A friend lent me this cool die cut, and I decided to pick various color papers and do a bunch of inlay die cut cards. Then I picked some stamps to add a variety of sentiments. Keeping it simple and letting the fun design of the die cut be the main point of the cards. 

And just like the last card, thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoyed.

Embossed Ombre Cards 08112017

Hi! I made this cards a while back but finally got around to sharing them here. I hope you like them

I took out some of my embossing folders and some ombre cardstock and just had fun. Keeping the cards very simple and letting the embossing shine. Here are 8 easy and quick cards. Let me know what you think.

8 Cards with Gift Box 031616

This was a gift I made of 8 various type of cards with envelops in a box. The box was made with the We Are Memory Keepers, envelop maker and a piece of DCWV pattern paper. I hope you like this project.

I used a doily and a canvas sticker to decorate the box, and cut a slit to feed some ribbon through for the closure. At the bottom, I will leave a link to Jennifer McGuire's blog where she has a tutorial on how to make the box.

This card uses SSS light bulb stamp set and yellow washi tape on the sides.

On this card I cut an embossed cupcake panel in half and lightly inked it with a teal ink pad. I used washi tape to soften the middle and stamped a sentiment on a die cut.

This is a birthday flip-it card made with Stephanie Barnard's die cuts. Cutting some colorful striped pattern paper and I colored a stamped image with my alcohol markers.

I added a flap to have room to write a message to the recipient in the inside and used an edge punch from Stamping Up. I stamped the sentiment on the inside of the flip.

This Hello card background was made with a Faber Castell Gelatos kit. I used a wood veneer to deboss the talk bubble and impress the yellow ink. Another technic I learned from Jennifer McGuire. I then glued the little man wood veneer. 

This one I kept simple. Stamped stars on a green pattern paper piece and glued it to the card base which was inked with distress ink. I glued the sentiment on the middle of the card.

On this card I used a strip of left over embossed and inked paper and glued it to the bottom. I colored and fuzzy cut the butterfly stamp. I used my cloud corner rounders to cut the card base and stamped the sentiment on it.

This card I used star pattern paper. I then stamped the sentiment twice on white card stock and fuzzy cut one using dimentionals to give it an extra "pow!"

This last card I used a die cut to cut the patter paper. I stamped the sentiment in white card stock and did selective inking with different color inks to give it more interest. I also used my Tim Holtz's marker spritzer to get some extra color on the card base.

Here is the link to Jennifer McGuire's blog where she made the box as mentioned above.

Dry Embossed Card Set 030416

Embossing gives such elegant look to cards, and they are so much fun to make. Here is a set I made with different embossing folders I have. Enjoy!

This is a set of 5 cards, mostly birthday since they seem to be the most used type. I kept the decorating very simple since I wanted the embossing to be the main focus of the card. Below are close ups of each. I used colored ink pads my Tim Holts blending tool to color the embossed panels. I added  some ribbon, sentiments, flowers, and even some bling or pearls to decorate the cards. In a couple a cut a diagonal piece from the embossing panel where I added the sentiments. 

Flip it Card 110514

Hello there! I haven't posted on my blog in a very long time, but I still want to share what I have been up to. So I decided to just start posting as many cards as I can, since I have made a lot of cards and taken pictures of most.  The descriptions will be kept brief but I hope you still enjoy viewing them.

The card below was so much fun to make. I used the flip-it die cuts by Stephanie Barnard. They make decorating the card a breeze. I just had to find some pretty paper, and as most card makers, I have plenty of that! :)

I also made the cupcake with some air-dry clay and colored it with my alcohol Prisma markers to match the colors of the card.

In the inside of the "flip" I used a happy birthday sentiment in Spanish from a Stampendous Spanish sayings stamp set I have. 

The only variation I made to the die cut was adding an inside flap to have a place to write and give more of a card feel.
