Elegant Friends....

Hello & Happy Easter Weekend Everyone!

I'm already over at the other place working my

little heart out with NO Internet again! 

It should be coming soon! They called us, so hopefully, someone will

be out here to put in a cable - They did say that they would just place

it through a window for now - They don't want their workers coming into

the house - Which is okay with me as long as we get

some internet service out here I'll be happy! 

Here's another card I made a while back using

a card front from a card kit I found at Tuesday Morning -

The Card kit just had white cards designed with silver foil images on them -

Of course, I took it up a notch or two by doing some ink blending -

I used 3 different shades of Distress Oxides and then I cleaned

my ink off the silver foiled floral design - It looks so pretty

I used my favorite Stitched Rectangle Frame die from My Creative time

I wanted the background to stand out of course - So I just

die-cut the Friends Frame die from (Papertrey Ink) in some SIlver

Foil cardstock - Then I die cut a banner from (Lawn Fawn) and

used silver embossing powder on the sentiment Stamp from (MFT)

I then added some Clear Lucy's card gems to finish it up!

It is popped up with some Fun Foam on a Neenah Solar White Cardbase

I wish you all a Very Happy and Safe Easter Weekend!!!

Kindness....

Happy Thursday Everyone! I'm so glad it's a short week!

I'm making this a short post (I hope)

Basically, my card speaks for itself -

With ALL the nasty drama of family, I wish this sentiment 

was something they would see/hear/read/understand!

But none the less I believe in it and I was pleased

with how this turned out -

I started with a foiled card front I got from Tuesday Morning

a few months back - it was a pack of cards with different

foiled designs on it which I thought would be perfect to

"dress up" - I blended 3 different Distress Oxide ink colors

and then wiped the ink off of the card front foil 

and this beautiful piece emerged - 

I didn't want to take away from the background so I

just added the "kindness" word cut out in Silver

foil and added a simple sentiment to go along with it -

I punched out a tiny heart in the same silver foil and

added a tiny clear gem for added pop - 

I love the colors and the sentiment -

Have a Beautiful Day!

Theresa

More Thanks....

Happy Thursday Everyone!

Today, I wanted to show you what I did with

the rest of the THANKS cards I mass-produced 

the other day - I had to die cut out the

THANKS, word in the white cardstock and I certainly

didn't want them to go to waste so I made this - 

I used my distress oxides and did an ombre effect

on the word - I only did the first layer of white letters - 

the other letters are just plain white, I used them for dimension -

I did it on a couple more cards in different colors of course -

But I already gave them out before taking the pictures! OOPS!

This card I used Dried Marigold, ripe persimmon, & fired brick

on one of the other cards I used - 

Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean & blue jean sketch

And on another card I used -

Picked Raspberry, wilted violet, & blue jean sketch

They all turned out great and I got a lot of thank you cards

done in a short time frame! :)

Have a Beautiful Day!!

Ghostly Trick or Treat!

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!!!

I wanted to share another FUN

Halloween card with you - I made this little

cutie with a FUN Raisin Boat Stamp set called

Boo Hoo - It's an adorable Halloween Stamp set!

So, I started off by stenciling the circle background with a 

Dylusions Mini Stencil (Honeycomb) in assorted Distress Oxides

Then I die cut it out with a wonky stitch die -

Then I stamped the cute ghost on another piece of white cardstock

and did a masking technique to get him to hold the

pumpkin in his hand - then I cut it out with my

Brother Scan N Cut Machine - I colored my image with my

Stampin' Blends (SU) Markers

Then I die cut a black banner out and used white embossing

powder to make the sentiment POP!

I added dimensionals behind the ghost & Banner

Then added an assortment of Lucy's Cards Rainbow Jewels

Popped it up with some Fun Foam and adhered it to my

black card base!

I like how Fun and Whimsical this turned out!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I hope you ALL have a FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!!

SumMore Fun Mood Board Challenge #37

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!

Today... starts another FUN Challenge over at: 

SumMore Fun Stamps

Our Mood Board is - 

 You can use the theme, pictures, or color combo
 You don't have to use
a stamp from SumMore Fun if you don't have one!


All the rules for this fun challenge are RIGHT HERE!

Here's what I created to inspire you --

I went with the colors in the mood board again to create my card - 

FALL Colors are my FAVORITE!!! EEK! I totally LOVE

how this card turned out - 

I colored my Background with some Distress Oxides - Peeled Paint,

Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, Carved Pumpkin, Ripe Persimmon,

Barn Door, & Aged Mahogany

Once Everything was blended and dried, I Stamped my Birch Tree

with versamark ink then poured fine gold embossing powder over it

then heat set it - I wanted a bold gold look so I repeated this process

one more time - Then I added some water droplets and placed

a towel over it to pick up some of the colors - 

Then I used my favorite Stitched Rectangle die and cut it 

down to size - 

I wanted my background to shine - so I grabbed a piece

of vellum and stamped the sentiment on it with some

versamark ink and then poured ultra fine gold embossing

powder over it and heat set it - I die cut it out with a

long stitched rectangle die, then attached it from the

backside - I then placed it on a piece of tan fun foam

Then I took a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of cream cardstock and

placed scor tape around the edge to make a frame with adhesive

and then I grabbed some Rose Gold Foil and laid it on top of

the adhesive and rubbed it in - once I thought it was

rubbed in enough, I pulled the foil off to give it a nice

Rose gold layer under my card front image -

I then adhered it to a Dark Espresso Card base -

Musical Birthday Wishes....

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!

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

SumMore Fun Stamps!!!

 I thought I would share a Birthday card -

I'm also entering the Challenge over at -
Seize the Birthday - RAINBOW

I went ALL Rainbow on you guys! LOL

I'm using my Distress Oxides inks - Candied Apple, Squeezed Lemonade,

Lucky Clover, Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch, & Wilted Violet

I started out by blending all my colors together on a piece of white cardstock 

then letting it dry completely

Once it was dry I stamped the Music Background with some

versamark ink and poured some Ultra Fine White

Embossing powder over it and heat set it - 

Then I die cut it out with a Stitched Postage Frame Die - 

I die cut a Stitched Frame Die with some White Cardstock

Then I grabbed a piece of Vellum and stamped the

Happy Birthday Sentiment right onto it with

some black onyx versafine ink and poured some ultra

black embossing powder over it and heat set it -

I thought the Black Embossing on the vellum would stand out 

a little better over my rainbow background - 

I attached the vellum with some liquid glue behind the

Happy Birthday Sentiment (So it wouldn't show through) then

I wanted a sweet bow, so I grabbed some Berry Trendy Twine

and tied it on the lower portion of my Postage frame 

 I adhered it to my white piece then attached it to my black cardbase.

For a little extra bling I used some Rainbow Jewels from Lucy's Cards. 

Victorine Original Stamps

Music Background (74738-T)

Happy Birthday (2871-H)
