I’m really please with the way today’s card turned out (and that’s not always the case!).  I created the leaves using the Seasonal Layers framelits.  These framelits along with the coordinating Colorful Seasons stamp set have all you need to create cards for every season as well as most occasions…it’s all in this one bundle!

Here’s the details

• The Cajun Craze card base measures 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″.
• The next layer is Very Vanilla cut at 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″.
• I stamped the sentiment from the Paisleys & Posies stamp set in Versa Mark and heat embossed with Copper Embossing Powder.
• To create the striped pattern, I cut a piece of Very Vanilla card stock at 2 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ and added strips of Year of Cheer Washi tape in a striped pattern and then glued it to the Very Vanilla panel.
• For the leaves I lightly sponged a piece of Very Vanilla card stock with Cajun Craze ink and then cut with a framelit from the Seasonal Layers framelits.  Then using the more intricate leaf framelit, cut three out in Copper Foil and layered both.
• Stampin’ Dimensionals pops all the leaves.

• The inside sentiment, from the Count My Blessings stamp set available in the Holiday Catalog, is stamped in Cajun Craze ink.
• A simple strip of  Year of Cheer Washi Tape adds a little interest to the inside.
• The envelope was created using the Envelope Punch Board with a few more strips of washi tape added to the front.

Thanks very much for checking in today!

Happy Monday…I have a bright and cheerful card to start the week off!  I loved the Birthday Delivery suite of products the moment I saw them in the Annual Catalog back in May.  I love all the whimsical characters and think that this suite is perfect for young, old, male or female.  Today’s card is a children’s birthday card.

Here’s the details

• The A2 (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″) card base is Real Red card stock with a mat of Whisper White card stock cut 1/4″ smaller (5 1/4″ x 4″).
• The Whisper White layer was embossed with the Polka Dot Basics Embossing Folder.
• I punched a variety of 1/2″ circles from Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Pacific Point card stock and glued them to the embossed circles.  You could skip the embossing and just adhere the dots randomly but the embossing gave me a uniform guide.
• The sentiment is from the Celebrate You stamp set found in the Annual Catalog and is stamped in Real Red ink and cut with the Lots of Labels framelits. The fonts in this set are also whimsical, which I thought was perfect for this card.

• I cut a few more labels and layered the sentiment.
• The cute little squirrel is an image from a pattern found in the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper and was hand cut and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Some of the images on the paper can be cut using the Birthday Friends framelits.

• The inside sentiment is from the Birthday Delivery photopolymer stamp set and is stamped in Real Red ink.
• A few strips of card stock and another snipped image creates a fun card inside and out!

• I embossed a piece of Real Red card stock with the Polka Dot Basics embossing folder and added it to the envelope flap for a hint of the fun inside!

When purchased as a bundle, this also includes the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper along with the Birthday Delivery Stamp Set and Birthday Friends Framelits.  That’s a lot of fun packed into one bundle!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you week is off to a good start!

Well, summer is over and fall has officially begun.  I’m not sure how I feel about this but I guess since there’s really nothing I can do about it…I’ll just roll with it and enjoy!  In honor of the first day of fall (and because I’m having such a good time with this set), my card today is a pretty reminder of the beauty of the season.

Only one stamp set was used for all the images and sentiments on this card.  Count My Blessing stamp set really has it all when it comes to beautiful florals and perfect sentiments in an amazing font. This is another set that can take you well beyond the fall season and be used for many different occasions.

Here’s the details 

• The card base is Very Vanilla thick card stock with a woodgrain mat from the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack.
• The sentiment is stamped in Chocolate Chip ink on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock cut at 1 3/4″ x 5 3/8″.
• This is matted with a piece of Crushed Curry and Chocolate Chip card stock.

•  To achieve a multi-dimensional look, I first stamped the image on Very Vanilla card stock and colored it with a variety of Stampin’ Write Markers and cut it out using a circle die from the Layering Circles framelits.
• I stamped and colored it a few more times on Very Vanilla card stock. But this time I cut out a couple of acorns and a leaf and adhered them over the image that was stamped on the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• A simple Linen Thread bow adds a little more rustic charm.
• Lastly, the Very Vanilla circle is glued to a Chocolate Chip stitched circle using the Stitched Shapes framelits and then popped on the sentiment panel with dimensionals.

• Can you tell that I really enjoyed coloring these images!  I think they really give the inside of the card so much more detail and pair so well with that wonderful sentiment.

• And again….on the envelope!

Coloring is so relaxing to me and when I find an image that I love…look out!  I have more ideas for this one!

Thanks very much for checking in today and I hope your day well!

Here’s the details

• The card base is Very Vanilla thick card stock.
• The next layer is Very Vanilla card stock cut 1/4″ smaller.

• The leaf is cut using the Seasonal Layers framelits.
• I created a shaker window using Window Sheets and added some jumbo glitter which I found at Michaels.
• The sentiment, from Rose Wonder stamp set, is heat embossed in Copper embossing powder and punched with the Pretty Label punch.
• Another Pretty Label punch in Copper Foil is layered behind and popped with dimensionals.
• To finish this panel, I added strips of Year of Cheer washi tape to each side.
• The panel is then popped onto the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

• The inside sentiment is from the Painted Harvest stamp set and is stamped in Soft Suede ink.
• Another strip of Year of Cheer washi tape adds a bit more interest.

• Another simple strip of washi on the envelope is a nice, simple touch.

It’s time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge.  I played along with the first column down:  metallic, window, free.  I hope you’ll play along with us this week.

I’m also entering this card in the Paper Players Challenge

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoy the last official day of summer!

Take care,
