More alternatives for No Matter the Weather

Leave a reply

I pulled out some notecards – and using some ink was able to make an alternative card with ease.

The flowered boots are really fun – my tip is to stamp the flowered part first and then add the outline. There’s only just enough room on a notecard for 3 sets, so start at the edge. I used daffodil delight, mango melody and poppy parade with memento black stamped off once. The plants are stamped in old olive. I used the triple banner punch to make an inch wide banner which I popped up using dimensionals.

No Matter the weather

Leave a reply

I’ve been having fun with the extra stamp set included in March’s Paper Pumpkin and thought I’d share an extra card.

No Matter the weather

It’s a simple card using a whisper white notecard and the extra stamp set. I used mango melody and old olive. I also made the envelope match. It’s an easy, simple and elegant card in my opinion. It’s easiest to stamp the floral image first and then add the outline using the labels to help line it up.

Vibrant vases

This week I’m having fun with the Vibrant Vases stamp set (148656) and the matching Vases Builder punch (147040).

I used versamark to stamp the 3 vases onto my card base as a background and then heat embossed them in gold onto a strip of real red. I matted this with gold foil and punched out an extra vase and popped it up with dimensionals. Quick, simple and effective.

Music from the heart

This week I’m playing with the new set Music from the heart (151674 $17). It’s really fun – I’ve already planned what I’m going to do with it next.

I used the Stamparatus technique of hinge stepping to get all my staves (or staffs) aligned uniformly and then stamped the notes.

For the sentiment and special note, I used real red so that it would really stand out and of course used that for the mat and the card base.

Do The Impossible

Leave a reply

I have a friend on Strava and he’s a cyclist. So for his birthday, Do The Impossible seems perfect! I decided to go with silver embossing on blueberry bushel.

This led to using more silver in the form of a silver foil border which I then decided should be embossed. I flicked through my ring holding all my embossing folder samples and decided on hammered metal. It looks great using foil. The sentiment is from the same Do The Impossible stamp set (151660, $20) which also has a swimmer and a couple of runners. Very useful if you have active friends!
