One Great Dude

Hello, friends!

I'm here today with two fun cards that I made, using a great new stamp set, Stud Muffins, from the May Release. This set has both images and 3 fun sentiments!

Here's my first card:

Is this fun, or what?

The image was colored with Copics and fussy cut. 

The 'frame' is a die cut, and the sentiment was stamped, matted, and popped up onto the card front.

I think I'll go back and gloss up his eyeglasses before this one gets mailed - forgot to do that!

And here's card number two:

For this card, the image was stamped onto a white focal panel - face, arms and shoes were colored with Copic markers. I then stamped again onto patterned paper and the shirt and pants were fussy cut and adhered over top of the image. Using an Ink Blending Brush and some Distress Oxide Ink, I stenciled a background, using A Colorful Life Designs Diamond Fade Stencil. The focal panel was adhered to a rust colored card base.

Thanks for stopping by today!

A great way to thank all that serve and protect our country. I used some distressed looking scrap designer papers, burlap and a flag charm to finish it off.

Magnolia Birthday!

 

Magnolia Branch Border makes a beautiful birthday card.   I used a verse from Inside Out: Young at Heart.  I first colored the magnolia branch with Copic Makers, and then inked the verse with Versafine black ink and heat embossed it with detail clear powder.  I used blending brushes and the Cloud Edger stencil for the sky.  Te stencil is from A Colorful Life Designs. It is framed with background paper and deep pink card stock on pale pink card stock for the base card.  

 Perhaps you are wondering how you might be able to all of the new May stamps. Well then you just "Gotta Have It All" or so near all that it would be silly not take advantage of the terrific "Gotta Have It All" price!

Pink Magnolia Frame

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today, and I'm sharing this sweet floral card that I created with stamps from Technique Junkies.  Have you seen the new Magnolia Branch Border stamp?  It's beautiful! 

For this card, I started by lightly brushing some pink ink all around the edges of some white cardstock with a Colorful Blending Brush.  Then I inked up the Magnolia Branch Border with the same pink ink, and I just stamped the blossoms around the edge of the white cardstock.  The sentiment, from the In Full Bloom set, was stamped with the same pink ink and then die cut with an oval die.  I cut the fancy oval frame from a pink cardstock and glued the sentiment onto that, and then I added a sweet little pink organza bow.

If you're in the mood to shop at Technique Junkies, you can use this code, TJ10Holly, to save 10% off your order.  Have fun browsing through the stamps, the Shimmering Bliss sprays, and the stencils in the store.  Have a wonderful day!

 

  

Monochromatic Magnolia

 Our lovely Magnolia Branch Border is a large stamp, but it extra special when used with monochromatic ink. Here is was randomly stamped and paired with the Get Well Soon stamp for an extra-pretty result.
