Good Afternoon! so i had this assortment of precut cardstock from Teresa's camp card 'vintage vogue' from monday night and since i don't have that gorgeous set, wheel or punch... i had to use something else! this is what i came up with!
this was my second design for the camp. Making masculine cards always seems to present a challenge to stampers so i like to try a throw out an idea every once in a while! This comes together super quick w/ the assistance of the big shot and that new impression folder(square lattice which i think screams masculine) out of the summer mini!
Does this card make u happy or what? ;) Bright cheery colors aren't always easy to come up with but i think Jess did a good job of pulling it all together here! using the stamp set Circle circus to make her own dsp in a sense and teeny tiny wishes for the setiment. we notched a 1/2 circle out so we had a snug little place for our button or as u can see below another one of the circles punched out and popped up on a dimensional.
Can you see the SHINE? since i did this one @ home i used some crystal effects to make it stand out a bit more. but since it takes time to dry we would never be able to show case this at a camp. ;(
Teresa designed this soft and pretty sympathy card using the big shot and texture plates along with the sponges to do some distressing.
I would call this classy vintage ... this was Jess's take on a simple yet stunning card and we only had to use ONE ink pad! how awesome is that?
and this was one of the ones i designed using the new stamp set Awash with flowers! i really like these colors together and i'm finding that this set has endless possibilties!
This fun stamp set is a sneak peek from the new caty that will be released in July! It's a 2 step stamping set, that doesn't require the stamp a ma jig and makes you look like a pro! First i stamped the outline in close to cocoa and then just guess at the fill in image. Doesn't matter if it doesn't line up perfectly...in fact i like it better that way! I did a bit of masking here but nothing to fancy just grabbed a scrap of paper laying near me and used that w/o any cutting or trimming!
don't forget to make the inside pretty! lined in pink pirouette since it's a dark writing surface on the close to cocoa.
This is my spin off for a masculine birthday card...we can always use inspiration for those right? This stamp set offers the perfect solution! i did a bit of sponging to make some hills and the stamp a ma jig assisted me in lining those little trees up just right.
since the base of the card is choc chip, i lined it w/ barely banana and did a bit of stamping on the inside too!
i'm really liking this new stamp set out of the new Summer mini catalog! The words are pretty and all very much used as well as the flower/leaf images i think are so subtle and soft looking as they portray the look of 'water coloring' w/o actually doing it! I gave it a smidge of vintage w/ some torn edges and using my "fast growing favorite tool" the color spritzer tool just around the flower image and the lower left corner of the card.
by inking up the butterfly good w/ melon mambo and then stamping it off twice b4 i stamped it on the circle so you just get a very faint image. Then put the sentiment right over top in old olive. The little dots below the 'so much' i did using the stampin write marker along w/ the matte pack to the get them aligned evenly.
stamping a bit on the inside of the card always gives it a nice finished look as well!
Making my own dsp here again w/ one of the flowers from Fifth Ave floral and some dazzling diamonds gives a bit of sparkle to the card. Water coloring again w/ the aqua painter and using the embossing w/ the heat gun makes it super easy bc it stays in the 'lines' w/o you have to be too careful!
Counting down to Mothers Day i want to give you some inspiration this week! some fun coloring w/ the aqua painters. This comes together quickly and simply and looks shnazzy eh? white embossing on the tango tangerine paper and then using an aqua painter w/ real red gave me this result! then quickly snip out the rose and pop it up on dimensionals!

as a demonstrator every month we get a magazine from Stampin up and in there was a sketch challenge like this card w/ many circles and this was my take after i switched up the colors a bit and made it bright!
super quick and easy put together here w/ the assistance of our textured paper, some torn edges and the color spirtzer tool. i would suggest adding like 3 strings of twine to finish it off better. I didn't realize that till i posted this picture that it could use a bit more.
