Sketch Flower card

Hi,

There are several staff members that are leaving at my school and this is one of the farewell cards that I made. I decided not to write farewell, but rather personalise it with their name. This card is a simple one layer card using an old Fall-to-Layout sketch (#114). Last time I used this sketch I used butterflies. You can check that one out here.

I coloured the Hero Arts Sketch Flower stamp in with prismacolor pencils and then used Gamsol. If you haven’t worked out yet – I love this stuff!

Supplies:

Stamps: Hero Arts Woodblock Sketch Flower Stamp, Hero Arts Playful lowercase alphabet stamp
Ink: Versafine Ink – Onyx Black
Card: Regal Craft Card (white square single fold)
Other Supplies: Prismacolor pencils, gamsol, stubbs, Kaisercraft gems, felt pen, ruler

Thanks for stopping by,

Marion

Birthday tricycle and wagon

Hey there,

It is my son’s 4th birthday tomorrow and this is the card that I have made for him. I can’t believe my baby is turning 4!

I am LOVING my new Practicing Creativity Designs stamp set, The Whole Cycle, that I won over at Jay Gee’s Nook blog. (Check out Judith’s new challenge here). This set was perfect for creating a special little card for my special little man! The quality of these stamps is fabulous and they stamp so smoothly and easily! I love PC so much I have ordered another set which should arrive soon :).

I had to use glossy accents on the tricycle and the wagon and to give the presents some sparkle I used some Kindy Glitz.

Supplies:

Stamps: Practicing Creativity – The Whole Cycle, Kaisercraft Occasions sentiment stamp
Ink: Versafine Ink – Onyx Black, VersaColor – Bamboo
Card: Kraft card, 2 different shades of green bazzill, white card
Other Supplies:
Prismacolor pencils, Gamsol, stubbs, foam dimensionals,  glossy accents, Kindy Glitz – Crystalina, S.E.I. Simple Set Buttons ‘Serendipity’, Cotton Twine (cooking).

Well little man…I hope you are feeling better tomorrow for your birthday – he has been running some really high temps the last few days 🙁

Love you my big man.

Thanks for stopping by,

3, 2, 1…blast off!

Hi,

This is a cute little birthday card that I made with a digi stamp (called Blast Off) from the Digistamp Boutique. Great for a little boy! Once again I coloured it in with prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. The stars are little brads that I have had in my collection for years – I once was a huge brad fan but not so much now, but I thought the card looked bare without them.

I used Glossy Accents on the windows and raised up the rocket with some foam to add some dimension.

Supplies:

Stamps: Blast Off Digi stamp from the Digistamp Boutique.
Ink: Printer
Card: Regal Craft Card (square white single fold), white card
Other Supplies:
Prismacolor pencils, Gamsol, stubbs, small silver star brads, foam, American Crafts Glossy Letter Thickers – Nutmeg, Weave Extras – Teeny Tiny letter stickers – 8mm black, felt pen, rule

See ya,

Marion
