Butterfly Basics for Mary

Comments: 40

IMG_2660I have the honor of being Mary Fish’s Guest Stamper today! As always, when I make a card for Mary to feature, I try to come up with something extra special.  I hope you enjoy this Butterfly Basics card.

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This cards measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long when folded.

  • Brick wall! I love the new Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, especially when I add I touch of color to make the mortar stand out.  This time I used Crumb Cake ink and applied it using a sponge.  The background stamp from You’ve Got This was inked in Soft Sky, and the Netting image from Butterfly Basics was inked with Sahara Sand.

  • Frame it! An oval frame was created from Whisper White cardstock by using Oval Framelits. It provides a way to highlight the watercolored flowers.

  • Double delight! A double bow was created using Pink Pirouette Seam Binding.  A snippit of Sahara Sand lace adds a feminine touch.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Would you like to receive it in the mail? Just let me know in your comment.  I will randomly select one person from those who leave a comment (between today and Wednesday at Noon) to receive it.  It’s just a little something to thank you for being such loyal readers.  Of course, if you ever have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away.  Until next time…

Get Well Soup for Pals Paper Arts

Comments: 13

IMG_2643It’s Thursday, and time to play at Pals Paper Arts! This week we have a color challenge for you:  Pacific Point, Real Red, Silver Foil.  Because I never have any get well cards on hand, I decided to whip up a few using the new Get Well Soup stamp set. I hope you enjoy this quick and easy card.

PPA259The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This folded card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.

  • Emboss it!  The image was inked with VersaMark and stamped onto Whisper White cardstock.  It was then heat embossed with Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder. The bowl section of the image was inked with VersaMark, and stamped onto Pacific Point cardstock. It was also heat embossed with Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  Finally,  just the “soup” section was heat embossed onto Delightfully Dijon Polka Dot Background Designer Series Paper.

  • Snip it! The Pacific Point bowl was snipped out and adhered in the proper place on the Whisper White image.  The “soup” was snipped out, and adhered to the bowl.

  • Punch it! A Real Red heart was punched out and adhered over the heart on the bowl.  A single Rhinestone adds a touch of bling and looks great with the Silver Foil card base.

IMG_2643-003Growing up on the farm in the 50’s and 60’s, it was common place to take a pot of soup over to a sick neighbor, along with a loaf of homemade bread, and maybe a jar of jam and some home-churned butter.  Those were the days! Life was simple and the food was great!  I will apologize to the Design Team for using the smidge of Dijon paper, but I just couldn’t make myself use Real Red.  After all, it was chicken noodle soup we would always deliver, not tomato soup!

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. I know it is simple…but I think it will bring a smile to someone’s face.  What do you think? Won’t you let me know in today’s comment? Your comments are important to me.  And remember, if you ever have a question about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away!  Until next time…
