Tornado-esque?

 Something about the Zen Circles stamp from Technique Junkies reminds me of the Wizard of Oz - maybe because it is tornado-esque, or because it all seems a little dream-like. I was determined to use the Flying Monkeys sentiment from the Wisdom of Oz set - and what better to put with it than a monkey? This odd little guy is called "Monkey in a Dress" - but works pretty well nonetheless. All three stamps may be found here:

Easy and Fast Mid-Century Modern Birthday Card

 

Hello everyone, and Happy Saturday.  When I saw the Mid-Century Modern Borders I knew I had to make a birthday card for a friend here who LOVES anything modern or minimalistic.    She also loves black and white and that makes this idea even easier.  

The first thing I did was to die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a stitched rectangle die, stamp the two Mid-Century Modern Border stamps - facing each other - using my Misti, and then stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Floral Framed Sentiments Set of 6.  

I cut a piece of black fun foam and adhered it to the back.  Then I went through my paper stash and found a piece of black and white paper, which I adhered to the front of my A2 card front.  Then I adhered my stamped piece to the card front.   

To finish the card off, I adhered a few black enamel dots to the card front.  

Done.  I'm sure the dots, paired with the rectangles, is going to drive my friend nuts but I love how this turned out and it's so fast to make.  If you see anything on the Technique Junkies website, you can save 10% on those items at checkout by using my code - TJ10Michael.  

Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  Until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.

Baking With Love

Deb here with a fun card using the Inside Out : No Good Advice stamp set from the March Release. It includes 5 snarky sentiment duos that just crack me up !! I chose too use the baking combo because it brought back lots of sweet memories of being in the kitchen with my mom as a child .. We made hundreds of dozens of chocolate chip cookies over the years she always called them "Toll House" . And if you knew my mom, you know that she never ever met a recipe that she actually followed word for word . She always added something extra or changed it just a little - she called it "doctoring it up".. I think she would have absolutely loved this card that I made .. 

And the fun part of this card is that I cut out an extra oven door and adhered it to the oven so it opens .. AND that is where I put the snarky "inside" saying !! Isn't that the cutest ?!?!?

• I stamped the "outside" saying with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a piece of patterned paper with a cute kitchen scene.
• I cut the oven door out of another piece of paper leaving some excess below the door.
• The stamped panel was adhered to a kraft card base.
• The "inside" sentiment was stamped with Teal Zeal Memento ink on a scrap piece of the same patterned paper with the oven on it  and then trimmed.
• I adhered that sentiment on the oven door on my cad base
• I folded the bottom  edge of the oven door paper and adhered it to the front of my card right over the original oven door .
• I placed a piece of removable double-sided tape at the top pf the oven door so it could be opened and closed .
• Red rhinestones were placed along the pattern at the top of the card .

Thanks for stopping by to see my card !! It honors my mom who I lost 30 years ago . I might just make some Toll House cookies today . Have a great day !!

Illuminated Manuscript

 I adore this new Old World Script background stamp!  I stamped it on parchment-look paper and added some gold gel pen flourishes.  Decorated with a public domain panel from an illuminated manuscript that I printed on my computer and a couple of strips of velvet ribbon held in place with gold brads.  Get this and all the new March stamps at TechniqueJunkies.com and use my code TJ10FAITH for 10% off your order!

Dear Wine

 Happy Wednesday!!! Today I am sharing this fabulous and silly sentiment from the new March set, Inside Out: No Good Advice, set of 10. On the inside it reads, “I’ve seen the video. We need to talk.” Super fun set! I used Catherine Pooler inks and made a monochromatic card. I used a spiral notebook punch to make it look like the message was taken out of a notebook. A dark purple mat, some ribbon and rhinestones and we can call it done!
