Two simple Cards

Just playing today and trying to get rid of some old designer paper and using the vivid vases stamp set by stampin up! It is quite old, but I do love this set! I used water color paper and my blender pens along with Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, and Calyso Coral ink pads for the water color effect. Added a little sparkle by using Wink of Stella Clear.  So easy to make!

Card Base- 5 1/2 x 8 folded in half
Designer paper-5 1/4 x 4
Image was cut out using an old die I had!
Added a piece of washi tape in the middle under image

And here is my second card! This card uses another old set called Vintage Verses. All the cuttings are the same as the first and easy, easy to do!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Tuesday!

Sprinkles of Life Card Set & more

Happy Hump Day everyone.  Yes it is Wednesday and I have a few things to share with you today.  I purchased this stamp set from Stampin' Up! recently called Sprinkles of Life.  I just love the sayings and also the stamps, plus they had a coordinating punch which made it that much easier.  I was looking through my stash and found these card and envelopes that I had purchased from the clearance rack at Stampin' Up!  That made my day as I started stamping.  I also used other stamps as there were 12 note cards and 12 envelopes.  So here they are and really cost me very little.  The lighting was not really good, but you get an idea of what they look like.

Sketch 306- Monday Lunchtime Sketch

Happy Monday everyone!  Had my daughter home this weekend and had a blast with my grandson.  What a sweetie he is and definitely a 1 year old for sure.  Got a lot of hugs and kisses which were just wonderful.  Nothing like being a Grammy!!!!

 

Well I just love the sketch that Mary Jo has given us this week to work on.  I think you will also.  So here is my sample for this weeks sketch.

 

 

I did use the Paper Piecing Technique on this card.  I stamped the stamp onto designer series paper and then cut it out.  I love how each vase is just a little different which makes each one unique.  And, I also love this designer series paper called "Venetian Romance."  And, this stamp set, "Vivid Vases," is just beautiful.  There is so many different ways to use this stamp set.

 

Here is a side view of the card!

 

 

You can see the dimension of the layers of the card.

 

Now don't forget to stop by Mary Jo's blog today and check out all of the DT team's samples.  There are some beautiful samples over there.

 

Well thanks for stopping by today and hope your day is filled with many blessings.

 

Vivid Vases

Hello all!  I bet this is a surprise.  Today we are having freezing rain here in Wilmington, NC, so I am home.  We do not drive in snow and definitely in freezing rain, so no work for me or my husband today.  Kind of fun to have a day just to stamping and that is really what I have been doing.

 

This morning I started looking for some sketches to work on today and also wanted to use a new stamp I had purchased a while back called vivid vases.  As soon as I saw the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch, I knew it was the perfect sketch for this stamp set, I just turned it to make a landscape card instead of portrait.  So here is my card!

 

 

Isn't this just the best stamp! I love it.  I also used the embossing folder called Pretty Print and used my Shimmery White Paper.  Love that paper also.
