Another Four Feathers card

Here's another card created with the Four Feathers stamp set. It was one of the cards we made at my Holiday Catalog Open House. I cased it from a card that I made at Candy Michaels' workshop, though I don't know to whom the credit goes. I came home and made a bunch so they're ready for sending.

Supplies:
Stamp sets - Four Feathers, Good Greetings (free right now if you have a $300 workshop :) Gorgeous Grunge
Cardstock - Night of Navy, Hello Honey, Whisper White
Ink - Night of Navy, Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon
Accessories - Gold Metallic Bakers Twine, Stampin' Dimensionals

I just cut the banner by hand, I didn't use the Big Shot or a punch.

For All Things

For All Things is a really nice fall set that covers the fall season and Thanksgiving. I added the little Autumn Wooden Elements leaf (found on p 46 of the Holiday catalog) and tied a little Linen Thread around the top. The round sequins are actually Gold Sequin Trim (found with the ribbons in the annual catalog p 206) that I cut and pulled apart, then attached with a tiny dot of Tombo Multi Adhesive (the green bottle of glue). A really simple card!

Supplies:
Stamp sets - For All Things
Cardstock - Mossy Meadow, Very Vanilla
Ink - Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey, Cajun Craze
Accessories - Autumn Wood Accents, Linen Thread, Gold Sequin Trim, Stampin' Sponge

Cutest Card Ever!

No excuses for being away so long and not posting. I've just been lazy. I've been stamping, just not posting. Today's card is a CASE from Stampin' Success, the magazine Stampin' Up! sends to it's demonstrators. It uses the stamp set Holiday Home with the coordinating Framelits Dies. I used the Ovals Collection Dies to make the hills and it may just be the cutest card I've ever made! I stamped the house on Crumb Cake and colored it with Blendabilities. Then I just lightly sponged over the Crumb Cake so it didn't have a stark, shiny look.

Supplies:
Stamp sets - Holiday Home (a photopolymer set from the Holiday catalog, p.16)
Cardstock - Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Hello Honey, Tangelo Twist, Crumb Cake
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Hello Honey Tangelo Twist, Daffodil Delight and Crumb Cake Blendabilities
Accessories - Big Shot, Homemade Holiday Framelits, Ovals Collection Framelits, Distressed Dots and Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Baked Brown Sugar Thick Baker's Twine, Stampin' Dimensionals, Stampin' Sponge

Supplies:
Stamp sets - Four Feathers, Dictionary, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Cardstock - Very Vanilla, Soft Suede
Ink - Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Early Espresso
Accessories - Big Shot, Feathers Framelits, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Linen Thread, Glue Dots, Stampin' Sponge, Stampin' Dimensionals

Four Feathers

Yea! This is a new stamp set and framelit for the upcoming Holiday Catalog called Four Feathers. I'm hoping that my stamping friends on my mailing list will get a copy of the new catalog this week! Four feathers are exactly the four stamps that are in the set and I'm looking forward to finding lots of ways to use and arrange them.  And with the framelits, there's no cutting so it's quick!

Supplies:
Stamp sets - Four Feathers, Birthday Greeting (retired)
Cardstock - Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White
Ink - Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party, Crushed Curry, Strawberry Slush
Accessories - Big Shot, Feathers Framelits Die, Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Linen Thread, Stampin' Dimensionals

The large feathers are just stamped on the Whisper White, The small feathers are stamped on Whisper White and cut out using the Feathers Framelits Die, then arranged together and popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I tied a little bow with Linen Thread and attached it with a rolled Glue Dot.

Another Bloom for You and World Traveler #2

I made a different version of the Bloom for You card I did earlier in the week. I searched for some retired DSP that would work well with the Bloom for You flowers to make for my nursing home project. Here is what the ladies made today.

I have been working on some cards for my Card Club group which meets tomorrow and I was trying to come up with some masculine cards. I went back to the World Map and Traveler sets and used the steam ship again. I really like the Smoky Slate and Midnight Muse together but I used up the last of my Midnight Muse on this card. I think it will look just as nice with Night of Navy (or Basic Black).

Supplies:
Stamp sets - World Map, Traveler, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Cardstock - Midnight Muse (retired), Smoky Slate, Whisper White
Ink - Midnight Muse, Smoky Slate
Accessories - Big Shot, Circles Framelits, Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Small oval punch, Stampin' Sponge, Neutrals Candy Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals

Bloom with Hope

Today's card has a flower from Bloom with Hope stamped and colored with Blendabilities on a masked En Francais background. I took a piece of copy paper, the same size as the 5" x 3 3/4" cardstock and cut out an oval in the center, using the Ovals Framelits. I used this as a mask and placed it on the same sized cardstock. Then I stamped En Francais in Smoky Slate. I then stamped the flowers in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them in with Blendabilities. You can use any color you like. I distressed the edges of the smaller cardstock and inked the edges with Smoky Slate. This would be an easy card to make for any occasion.

Supplies:
Stamp sets - Bloom with Hope, Teeny Tiny Wishes, En Francais (retired)
Cardstock - Naturals White
Ink - Smoky Slate, Memento Tuxedo Black, Blendabilities (Calypso Coral or Cherry Cobbler are the two I used)
Accessories - Distressing tool, Very Vanilla Seam Binding, Small and large oval punches, Stampin' sponge, Stampin' Dimensionals -  Big Shot and Ovals Framelits for the mask
