Made With Love Baby Card

It's all about STARS at Stampin' Royalty this week!

I decided to use one of my new stamp sets, Made With Love. 

There are so many cute images in that set!

As you can see, i decided to use the onesie image for the main focal point.
This card is easier than it looks. I just embossed the background panel using the Lucky Stars Embossing Folder, then used a strip of Whisper White and punched the Confetti Stars Border Punch across it, layered it on So Saffron, then Whisper White. I glued it on the back panel,tied a ribbon around it, then adhered it to the Soft Sky Cardbase. 

I die cut one circle in So Saffron, then a smaller one in Soft Sky. I stamped the onesie in Smoky Slate, then cut it out. I used my blender pens and Soft Sky & Daffodil Delight ink to color the image. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of Whisper White and used Dimensionals to pop them up. 

Supplies:

Cardstock - Soft Sky, So Saffron, Whisper White

Ink - Soft Sky, Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate

Stamps - Made With Love

Accessories - Confetti Stars Border Punch, Soft Sky Ribbon, Lucky Stars Embossing Folder, Blender Pens

Picture Inspiration!

It's another Picture Inspiration over at Stampin' Royalty!

For this one, i will admit that i was down to the wire in getting it done, so it was made rather quickly...
But it just goes to show that you can still make a cute card, even when you don't have a lot of time!

Supplies:

Ink - Craft White, Cajun Craze (for sponging)

Cardstock - Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip

Stamps - Country Blessings, Bloom with Hope,

Flurry of Wishes Pin-spiration!

The Theme for this weeks Stampin' Royalty is Pin-Spired!
That means we were to find inspiration on Pinterest! 

Here is the the card that inspired me, made by Melissa at Rubber FUNatics!

(Click HERE if you would like to pin this card too!)

Isn't that snowman on the pink just the CUTEST!?!?

I really loved the original card, but alas, did not have the proper pink, so i decided to do Real Red instead...

For this card i basically just made the elements with either a Circle Die, or hand cut, or punched out each part, then assembled the pieces.
If you make a card similar to this one, just be sure to stamp your panel BEFORE you run it through in the embossing folder... otherwise you won't get a good image :o)

Supplies:

Stamps - Flurry of Wishes

Ink - Basic Black, Real Red, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock - Real Red

Accessories - Silver Glimmer Paper, Silver Sequins, Snow Flurry Punch, Circle Die

Lighthearted Leaves Image Swap Card

Our local stamp group did a really fun swap at our last meeting...
We each chose a new stamp set we owned, took a half sheet of cardstock, and filled it with images from that stamp set. that way, we could take our swap home and punch out, cut out, etc., the images, and make whatever we like out of them!

This was the first card i made with my image swap!

I used my White Chalk Pen to color in some of the details on the leaves, cut them out, used my oval die to cut out the sentiment and put in eyelets.

Supplies:

Cardstock - So Saffron, Crushed Curry

Stamps - Lighthearted Leaves

Accessories - Eyelets, Gold Satin Ribbon

Wondrous Wreath Christmas Card

This weeks theme at Stampin' Royalty is Circles!!

I really like the way it turned out, and it was actually pretty easy to put together. 

One note i will make is that for the "JOY" word, i cut out one in the Silver Glimmer Paper, then  2 using the Thick Whisper White cardstock, then glued them in layers to give the word some sturdiness. 

Supplies:

Cardstock - Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive

Ink - Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Pear Pizazz

Sheltering Tree, Woodland Embossing Folder

This week at Stampin' Royalty is a Picture Inspiration Challenge!

here is the inspiration:

I loved the colors in the original, so i used that, along with the pumpkins, the vertical lines of the candles, and the pop of color like you see in the flowers of the cake image.

I made the pumpkins using two different circle punches, and the leaves using the Bird Builder punch.
How i did the background:
I inked the embossing folder using Pool Party Ink, so that only on the 'recessed' portion would be inked. after running a piece of Whisper White cardstock through, this is the final result you will get. 

*a little tip is that before you lift the paper from the folder, make sure to kind of rub the back of the paper so that you will get a fairly even inking. 

The pumpkins were punched from Pumpkin Pie cardstock then layered to look like pumpkins,also some Whisper White Craft Ink was sponged along the tops to give them dimension.. The leaves are punched from Soft Suede cardstock using the Bird Builder punch.

The sentiment was from the Sheltering Tree set, and the little 'brad' on the side was made by punching out a small circle, gluing it down, then covering it with Crystal Effects. This is how i make my own custom 'brads' or 'epoxy elements'. :o)

Supplies:

Stamps - Sheltering Tree

Ink - Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock - Whisper White, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede

Accessories - Woodland Embossing Folder, Circle Punches, Bird Builder Punch, Crystal Effects

Guy Greetings, Masculine Birthday Card

The Theme at Stampin' Royalty this week is a Color Challenge!

This card is pretty simplistic, although it has textures and elements to help fill it out and give it interest. I deliberately placed the stamped image a little off to the right because i originally wanted both sentiments on the left, but decided on the above look instead.

I'm sure you can figure how i put most of this card together,  i think the one thing worth mentioning though is that you will need to stamp the car and square BEFORE you emboss the Vanilla panel. I created the square by inking up my Clear Acrylic Block and using that as a 'stamp'. i love the look, and so convenient!

Supplies:
Stamps: Guy Greetings
Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Hello honey
Ink:Crumb Cake, Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey
Accessories: Twine, Woodgrain embossing folder

Jolly Christmas Woodland Embossing Folder Christmas Card

This weeks Stampin' Royalty Challenge is Fancy Folds!
I don't know why, but i immediately thought of this card. it is slightly different than i originally envisioned it, but it turned out pretty close! I was able to use a lot of my new goodies from the new Holiday Catalog that will be coming out soon! oooooh, so many fun things!

For this one, i embossed a piece of Whisper White using the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, then cut it and mounted it on the new thicker Whisper White Paper. I had cut it and scored it in such a way that there are flaps on either side that overlap...

I cut the outer flap to the contour of the tree closest to the edge. 

I then used Crumb Cake and sponged the trees so they would stand out more. I used the single leaf from Lovely as a Tree to add leaves, enhanced them using a blender pen and Crumb Cake ink,  then used my Gorgeous Grunge spatter stamp and Gold ink to add some magical gold sparkle :o)

I stamped the deer from the Jolly Christmas set in Early Espresso, cut him out and adhered him, then lastly i added a Snowflake Element to finish it off. 

* I had a request for the dimensions of this card..here ya go!*

the cardbase is cut to 10 x 5-1/2 inches

then scored at 3-1/2, then at 7-3/4. 

(in other words, if you put the 10 in. piece on your score board, you don't need to move it, just score at these two measurements without moving the piece)

at that point i put a separate tree embossed piece on each flap, then trimmed the larger flap along the contour of the tree.

these measurements should give you a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 card that will fit in a standard envelope

Supplies:

Stamps - Jolly Christmas, Lovely as a Tree, Flurry of Wishes (for inside sentiment) Gorgeous Grunge (For Gold splatter)

Ink - Crumb Cake, Early Espresso

Cardstock - Whisper White, Thick Whisper White

Accessories - Snowflake Elements, Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
