Giraffe Love

 Happy Saturday Crafters - 

I adore the newly released Giraffe Love stamp set. My sister is pregnant with twins so the first thing I thought about was creating a fun congratulations card. Below is two different cards I created using the Giraffe love stamp with two different meanings. 

Card number one is a Congratulations shaker card. I used an A2 card base covered with a piece of gold patterned paper. I stamped the image on white card stock and colored  the images using a gold and baby blue color scheme. I used an oval shape die to cut out the center of the mat. I added a piece of acetate behind the mat to create the shaker window. I added sequins behind the shaker window and popped it up using 3D foam tape.

I colored a piece of white card stock with the blue marker. Congratulations was stamped from the Grand Greetings stamp set on the blue piece of card stock. I cut out the sentiment using a rectangle die. The sentiment was placed across the center of the card. Super cute! 

Card number two I used the Giraffe Love stamp as my background patterned paper per say. I used a piece of white card stock to ink blend a few colors of pink using Distressed Oxides. I stamped the image using black ink. I colored in the hearts/leaves using a red marker. While the orientation isn't straight up and down I was alright with that. I stamped the Look Beside You sentiment as the focal point and added it to a black mat. I popped it up on the center of the card base. Quick simple and cute card. 

I hope you are inspired! Happy Crafting and Thank You for stopping by!

Bird Lover

Hello Crafty Friends!

Have you ever had a card design in mind then somehow the card turns into something totally different?  That’s what happened today.  

I had a nice piece of watercolor paper with a light blue wash on it and thought that’d be perfect for this stamp set.  Well, after I stamped the “Find your song and sing it” upside down…that’s where it all changed.

To my left I saw a pretty piece of floral paper.  I grabbed that for the background.  Then I simply cut the two stamped pieces, put black behind them for a frame and adhered them to the pretty paper.  It still needed something so I dug into my birdie stash of supplies and found the silver feather (they have a bag of gold or silver feathers at my local crafty dollar store).

The last thing I decided to do was add a little color to the bird.  

If you’re a BIRD LOVER you’ll want to take a look at the wonderful variety of beautiful bird stamps on the Technique Junkies website.  And be sure to use my discount code (TJ10AJ) if you decide to buy a few things.  

P.S. The next new release of TJ stamps comes out June 15th!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cancer Sucks

 Hello! 

No one likes making these cards but sadly we all have friends and family that are battling cancer.   I'm always on the lookout for stamps to make cards that I can show support and most importantly make them smile.  I love this new set from Technique Junkies.   It has a little mix of everything.    I added glitter to the ribbon on the second card.  I'm not sure if I like it or not.  What do you think?

Advice From A Wildflower

 

Hello everyone and Happy Saturday!  Design Team Michael here with a simple and beautiful card for that person who loves flowers and, especially, wildflowers.  I have a friend who is an avid gardener, she loves wildflowers, and her birthday is next week.  So I made her a card using the new Advice From a Wildflower stamp, which is part of the April 2024 New Stamp Release.  

• I made a top-folding A2 card using red cardstock.
• I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, which I adhered to the inside of the card where I will write my birthday message to her. 
• I used the same 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die to cut part of a wildflower paper from my stash. 
• I adhered a piece of fun foam to the back and then to the card front. 
• I stamped Advice From a Wildflower on white cardstock and die-cut it using a rectangle die.
• I layered this on a piece of red cardstock and then to the card front.  
• Lastly, I adhered a few red enamel dots and a red heart enamel dot. 

This card took me about 5 minutes to make and I cannot wait for her to get it from me.  I hope you have enjoyed this quick card idea.  If you go shopping on the Technique Junkies website, don't forget to use my code at checkout to save 10% on your whole order - TJ10Michael.
