Stamping On Dark Paper

Here's another card like the thank you in the last past where the image was stamped on dark paper (black in this case) and then colored and two stamped. The techniques is fairly quick and creates really unique images.



As always, click on the card if you want additional instructions on the stamps and techniques.

Thank You or Valentines Day card

Here's a quick and easy card you can make if you have these Dazzles stickers, a gold Adirondack paint dabber and a heart border punch.





You can use it as a general thank you for someone special or turn it into a Valentine's Day card by thanking someone for loving you. As always for complete directions, click on the card or visit my website.

Thanks!

This is one of the cards I made this weekend. I used Deja Vu's baby girl paper line. I thought the paper was pretty enough not to add anything else. All I added was a few rhinestones to add bling to the card.

I haven't posted in a long time so I thought I would look through my card ideas and post a few. I like to get on www.splitcoaststampers.com (absolutely love this site--if you haven't tried it, it is well worth it!!) and find ideas. For a while I was making cards for my MK lady so I would find an idea on SCS site and simplify it. I wish I had saved some of the original ideas to show what I did differently but these aren't cards that I recently made though I am sure if you look up the stamp name, you will find the much more detailed image. This helped me to make mass quantities of cards with less work. Enjoy.

This card uses Lexicon of Love stamp set with some paper that I think I got from Michaels.

Both of these cards (above and below) use the Paris in the Spring stamp set. The one above was for a bridal shower and the bottom one was a thank you card for my MK lady to give to her customers.

Card Making Week

I have been making quite a few cards this week. Here are five of them. The first two are based off of the one that Jules posted just a few days ago. I liked her idea and I was able to find some of my own paper to do something similar. I was making all of these cards for a friend and I wanted some pretty generic ones that you could use for most occassions and this is what I came up with.

A Pair of Thank You Cards

Bri actually made this card for me with my stamps! I love how she cut the flowers out, used a strip of paper instead of ribbon (I don't do ribbon...very often), and how she brushed the edges of the square against the stamp pad. By the way, the background is actually the paper, not a stamp.

This is a card I created with Cami's stamp and ribbon - it was super easy because I used two coordinating pieces of paper. It's smaller than a regular card.
