STAMPINHAPPYHEART.....

With Valentine's Day around the corner I had to pull out the 'love' stamps! This card is for the Shabby Tea Roo challenge #99 at www.theshabbytearoom.blogspot.com . The cardstock and DSP is by Stampin Up! The Glue and Glitter is by Rubber Cafe. I used a black and a white gel pen. The embellishments are black and also by Rubber Cafe. The ink is black Stazon. The tulle is white glittered. The stamp is by 'American Art Stamps' (Live, Laugh, Love) and the border stamp is by Stampin Up! 'Vintage Vogue'. Any questions please ask! Thanks for taking time to look at my card today!

This technique is done by using white pigment ink on a black background and then heat-setting it. Then I used Water Color pencils to color in the detail. I used the lesson by Jennifer McGuire from Day 9 of Clean & Simple Card Making http://www.onlinecardclasses.com/cleansimple/ The teachers for today are Jennifer, Kristina Werner and Krystie Hersch. www.jennifermcguireink.com www.kwernerdesign.com No website for Krystie H. is available Supplies: Cardstock is Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Pretty In Pink; Ink is Basic Black by SU and White by Color Box; Water Color Pencils are misc. companies; Ribbon is SU; Stickles are pink and green. I just used the Stickles at random. Thanks for looking at my blog. Any questions please ask!

This is day 6 of Clean & Simple Card Making http://www.onlinecardclasses.com/cleansimple/ and I can't believe it! The time has passed so quickly. This is a card that was kind of fun to put together. You punch 6 circles and fold two sides so that when it is all done you have a flower shape! The teachers for today are Jennifer McQuire, Kristina Werner and Julie Ebersole. www.jennifermcguireink.com www.kwernerdesign.com http://papertrufflez.typepad.com/ Supplies are....Paper: 'Kraft' and 'So Saffron' Cardstock and DSP by Stampin' Up!; 3" Circle Punch by EK Success; White Gel Pen by Ink Essentials; White Bakers Twine by Stampin' Up! The 'Thanks' stamp is Stampin' Up! Thanks for taking a look at my blog and come back again soon! Blessings.....

Tone on tone is the topic for today's class. These cards took a bit of time to construct because the embellishments that are layered are six layers glued together. I used liquid glue on my samples but I think the next time I make this type of card I will use dry glue. It could speed the process. Supplies: Cardstock: Pale Plum and Whisper White by Stampin Up. Die: Amana Circle by Memory Box; Ink: Versamark; Embossing Powder is American Crafts Zing White; Glue: Tombow; glitter pen. Any questions please ask!

This is my version of one of the Greeting Cards from Day 2 of Clean & Simple Card Making. The class this day focuses on flat cards. I usually layer my cards so this lesson is good for me!

These are two cards from Day 1 of the Clean & Simple Card Classes by Kristina Werner and Maile Belles. Both cards are quite different from each other and very fun to make. It was actually harder for me to make the flat card than it was to make the layered look. I don't know why....I guess I tend to want to layer things more and it was a little out of the box from what I usually do. I really had to rely on a steady hand!

One of the tutorials on 'Splitcoaststampers' was for this 'Double Dutch Fold' card. I thought I would try it and it was fun to make. The main layer is vellum (vanilla cardstock underneath). The cardstock and all embellishments are Stampin Up! The stamp is by 'Ashlyn's Faith' by Stampabilities.
