Trying to get started on Christmas cards.  I like how this went together.  Most of the cardstock in this card is from the Linen Line.  The base is Red Pepper Classic Linen.  The tree  is Emerald Green Classic Linen.   This tree has little pieces that stick out slightly.  They were just crying for glitter.   I know you cannot see it in the picture, but there is a fine texture in the linen line.

The city cutout is cut from Cryogen White cardstock.  I used a little antique linen to accent around the edges. The distressing gave the image a little more definition.

The sentiment was cut from Earthstone classic linen.

I am not sure the tree really goes with the background, but it is sort of old Christmas and new Christmas.  I just got this tree die and just had to use it.

Have a great day

I just got some new Stampin’ Up stamps and dies and just had to give them a try.

All the cardstock in this card came from the Treasures Package.  The base is Butternut Orange.  The Grass color seemed to be a good choice for the second layer it was also used for leaf accents.  I accented this layer with a ink pad around the edge.  The flower was cut from crafty brown.  I love that sort of brown paper bag color.  Goldenrod was used in back of the crafty brown  piece to accent the flower.

I would like to qualify one thing in this picture.  The background cardstock is more of yellow orange color.  I wanted to get this posted and just could not get the color exactly right.

Had a little hard time as to what to call this post.  This card is for the father of a relative that had a really bad motorcycle accident.  He is a pastor of a church so this seemed like it fit.

I used Gray Basis for the base card.  The Basis line never lets me down.  The second accent layer is Graystone Classic Linen.  In the linen line that little bit of texture always sets things off.  For the wood panel Baronial Ivory Linen was used.  I embossed the panel and used Vintage Photo and Pumice Stone distress inks to make the wood look.

Church was stamped on Cryogen White.  Always my go to when I want to have a great base for a scene.

Ribbon was just something I had.

Running a little behind today.  This is a card I made to send to my cousin.  I just got this quilted embossing folder from Stampin’ Up.  Today my choice for cardstock was mainly linen.  The base is Bluestone Linen.  The quilted layer is Baronial Ivory Linen.  Finally the sentiment is Basis Light Yellow.

This card is a corner Pop Up Card.  I love the look.  The middle left panel is a little crooked.  Sorry about that.  I have to see if I can fix that before mailing.

Sorry I forgot to show the middle

Hallo,

I haven’t colored or made a card in a long time but I did this one up for my Mom’s Birthday last week. I used my all time favorite paper from Paper Temptress – cryogen white to print and color the digital image . This paper is so smooth and take color beautifully!!!

The image is from Power Poppies and it is colored with polychrome pencils. The base cardstock is blue lagoon from the mica mettlics line of paper.

All for today – time for a bit more coloring, I missed it!!

Take Care

This is a card I made for the grandson of one of my friends.  He is five and has stage 2 cancer.  I have been trying to send cards once in a while.  This card is cute but rather difficult to take pictures of.  I thought it was cool because the inside pops out.  It is called a twist and pop card.  I found the directions on Y-tube.

The base for this card is something I had because it had to be 12 inches.  All the rest of the cardstock came from the Basis Package.  The colors used are Light Yellow, Orange, Teal, Dark Orange, Gold, Orange and Light Blue.  You have to love this line of cardstock because it comes in so many colors.   These trucks are just perfect for little boys. .  I have two stamp sets and they came from http://flonzcraft.com/

I have had this stamp for a while.  I just did not know what I wanted to do with it.  I finally decided to stamp it and cut it out.  I am in love with the Misti stamp positioner!  It gives  me the opportunity to stamp the image  as many times as I want until I get the definition I am looking for.

The base and dark layer in this card is Emerald Green Classic Linen.   The Linen has a beautiful texture to it.

The embossed layer is Serpentine Mica/ Metallic.  On the Serpentine layer I embossed the music.  I then added some distress ink to highlight the image.

The white layer and stamped image are Cryogen White.  Cryogen is always my go to to stamp my images on.

These are cards for a friend that was having their little girls baptized.  I wanted the cards similar but different.

I will talk about the love, hope, faith card first.  The base for the card is Cotton Candy Pop Tones.  It seems like I always turn to Cryogen white for the main image.  The rays of sun were a stencil that I had.  It seemed to be perfect for a baptism.  I sponged the edge for some contrast.

The cross was cut on a cricut out of Magenta Basis and the center cross is Monterey Sand Linen.

Now for the second card.  The base for this card is Emerald Green Classic Linen.

The image was stamped again on Cryogen White. I colored the image with copic markers.   The image was placed on Baronial Ivory classic linen.  Again the stencil of rays was used.  I sponged around the edge for some highlight. Blessings was stamped in the corner in a dark pink.

This is a card I made for a girl that was leaving work.  I decided to dig into my dies for this one.  Love this background die but just don’t use it much.

The base of the card is a beautiful ivory.  The cardstock is Barronial Ivory Classic Linen.  The darker purple is Amythyst Mica Metallic.  I just can’t seem to get away from the Mica Metallic line.  Just love that sheen.  Finally the lighter purple is Kunzite Mica Metallic.  The main image is on Cryogen White.
