Elegant CAS card....

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!

Today's my day to take over the blog at:

SumMore Fun Stamps!!!

 I thought I would share an Elegant CAS Thank you card!

I don't know about you - but sometimes you just need a

Quick card - Also an Elegant one at that!

Sometimes all you need is a Beautiful Stamped Sentiment and

some Beautiful papers to make it happen!!

That's where this card comes into play!!

I'm using the Thank You (2873-J) Stamp set

From Victorine Originals and some Beautiful 

papers from DCWV (Lilac Love)

I started out by grabbing the pretty papers and deciding on the

stamp I planned to use - Then I grabbed a Stitched Scallop

border die and cut out enough room so

my large sentiment would fit nicely onto my card front

Knowing that my Designer paper had gold foil on it

I knew I wanted my sentiment to POP with gold as well

So I stamped my sentiment right onto the

paper with some versamark ink then

added my fine gold embossing powder 

I carefully heated up my sentiment with my heat tool

only heating up small sections at a time

(I didn't want to warp) my Elegant paper with the heat

It came out PERFECTLY! I was so excited to 

see the transformation of the gold embossing (Who Doesn't?)

After I let it cool for a minute I wanted to add a 

Stitched Rectangle border around my design

for a nice finished off look

Then I added a piece of White Fun Foam

behind my card front and set it off to the side for a minute

While the card front was very pretty - my plain white

card base didn't do it justice -

So I decided to add foil to it!

I folded my Card front in half and 

I adhered some Scor Tape all around the border

on the front of my card

Then I grabbed a piece of Gold Foil from

my stash and laid it right on top 

of the adhesive - I used my Bone Folder

to rub the foil into the adhesive

(making sure it would stick)

Then peeled off my gold foil - to find

a beautiful gold foil frame!

Now that I was happy to have the foil frame

it was time to adhere the card front to my card base

and Voila My card Shimmers and shines with gold!!!

I added some gold sequins and a Prima

Flower I found in my stash!

Hello & Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I hope you all had a great weekend!

I had to make a trip to Vegas with

the craft stores! ;) It was fun but it's
always good to be home...

I thought I would share a Birthday Card I made --

I LOVE the stitch lines in those dies! They really add

so much with little effort!

I heat Embossed the Sentiment and added some 

Rainbow Sparkle mix from Lucy's Cards

The 2 tiny pink hearts are die cut from DCWV Gitter Cardstock

and I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the Stripes and

cake image...

As you can see, I prettied up the inside of my card too!

The inside Sentiment is from CTMH (Sweet Birthday)

I added more Pink Glitter Hearts and a border strip --

Thinking of you at...

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!!

YAY! the weekend is here! Thank goodness --

This week has been crazy busy at work and

I can totally use the downtime! How about you?

I thought I would share a SUPER QUICK 5 Minute CARD!

Say What??? YUP! This card really only took me

5 minutes to make!! AND - It's a Christmas card!!

Let me start by telling you - I happen to

come across the image in my scraps pile

EVEN BETTER! LOL and when I took a

look at it, I was like - Ooh, wow... I've had a 

5 minute card sitting here in my stash and

didn't realize it - UGH!! LOL

Here it is --

Now how easy is that??? LOL

Basically the paper is from an OLD DCWV paper stack

When I saw it, I thought... HELLO easy card right here!

So I pulled out my Stitched Rectangle die and placed

it over my image - Then I used my Clear Wink of

Stella glitter pen on all the leaves & the birds wing --

 - then I Stamped a Christmas Sentiment

with some Memento Rich Cocoa Ink in my Misti

Thought I should make the berries pop too, so I

pulled out my glossy accents and just dotted each berry

I used a piece of Fun Foam behind the design and

popped it right up on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Red cardbase

Besides being super simple I thought it was a cute image --

Another card for my 2018 Stash!

I think I better go take another look at my

Christmas Scrap Stash pile - Just in case I find

another 5 minute card to make!! You just never know!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!

Joy, Joy, Joy....

Hello and Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

Last year I challenged myself to make 1 

Christmas Card a week - until Mid. Oct - 1st of Nov.

Well, I did manage to get all my holiday cards

done and I labeled all the envelopes & had

them all stamped by Dec. 1st! YUP! It worked for me --

So this year I will continue with this same process -
the only thing is - I've already got 19 cards done! Say WHAT?

Well, since I finished all of mine early enough I still
had Design Team projects that needed to be made
for the holidays... so that got me a jump start on my
2018 Christmas cards! How crazy is that??

I'm so happy I did it though - it made me realize 
how stressful making your own cards can be during the holidays
and knowing that I'm doing them weekly throughout the year
really does add LESS STRESS!

So, today's cards (Yes more than 1) was
actually made the end of Nov. 
I found the image in the Silhouette Store
and then these quick cards came out of it --

Check them out --

I got 2 Regular cards and 1 Gift Card made - 

Here's my Simple Gift Card Holder -- This was actually a mistake when I was doing
the sizing in my Silhouette Program - Of course NOW it's a good mistake! LOL
The JOY image is (#230500) and the Scallop Card Shape is (#25782)
I went to cut the Scallop Card shape out and realized it was
NOT the size I wanted - but then I realized it could
totally work for a Gift card design and that's how this one came about!

Here's the inside of my holder --

I used the Jaded Blossom (Scallop Slider & Topper Die) to

make the slits for a gift card to sit inside of this

This was the actual size I was looking for when deciding to make the JOY Image

into a card - I had to enlarge everything before getting it to cut the size I wanted --

This actually opens just like the gift card, but on a Flat Card Base

I really like the fun way it opens and how I brought the JOY

inside the card as well -- I tried to find papers that matched

the Fun colors -- The inside sentiment is from 

My Craft Spot (which is no longer in business) 

This is the last Joy Card I made - Simple and easy to mass produce

if needed - But I'll  probably just stick with the ones I already made --

I added Clear Wink of Stella to the J, Y, Carrot Nose, & Ear Muffs on

ALL 3 projects - Before I did though - As I have an Inkjet Printer

I spray my paper with some Acrylic Sealer first and let Dry Completely

before adding any sparkle - otherwise, my images would fade out

when adding the wink of Stella on them - Just an FYI for you

I used Ice Cube Jewels from Lucy's Cards on all 3 projects

Other Products Used --

Cardstock - Recollections 110lb., Stampin' Up, Bazzill, Fun Foam

Designer Paper - MME & DCWV

Stitched Rectangle Die - MFT

Stitched Scallop Die & Smaller Rectangle die - Craftin' Desert Divas

Big Shot, Misti Tool, Canon Pro 9000 Printer, Cameo  3

Have a FABULOUS DAY!!

Sending Warm Wishes...

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!

Today's my day to take over the blog at:

SumMore Fun Blog - (Victorine Originals)

YAY for me... 🙌


Today I thought I would share a Wintry Card
I made to send to a crafty friend --

Even though Christmas is over, it's still nice to get HAPPY MAIL!
Especially now the Cold Winter months are setting in
for a lot of people - I'm sure this card will PERK her right
up and hopefully take her mind off the COLD Outside!!
Even for a little while! (wink wink)

I'm using a dark Grey Card base and a piece of DCWV Designer
paper that I had in my scrap pile --

I pulled a piece of Tim Holtz Watercolor paper out and
stamped it with The POST CARD STAMP, then I
Stamped the SNOWMAN WITH HAT STAMP --
I used Onyx Black Versafine ink -- 

I wanted to make a snowy scene behind the snowman, so I masked off
my Snowman and used the TINY DOTTED BACKGROUND
stamp for a snow effect -- Then I colored my
snowman with some Zig Real Brush pens

I decided to just write my own sentiment on the front
since this IS a "PostCard" style card! LOL

And then I added some Gems & Snowflakes to give it
a soft, girly vibe --
