Good morning!
I'm sharing two cute cards today that I have created with some fun new stamps Older than We Are, Champagne Birthday, and Inside Out: Young at Heart, from Technique Junkies.
Here are my cards:
For this card, the stamping was done on white cardstock, then distressed with some gray ink. A bit of glossy accents was added to the champagne glasses for a 'glass' effect. A panel of woodgrain paper was cut and adhered to a gray card base. I cut a square of burgandy colored cardstock, and created two triangles, one a bit smaller than the other. The triangles were adhered to the woodgrain panel, and to finish off the card, the stamped pieces were popped up with foam squares.
The next card was fun. I die cut a whole bunch of black numbers, and set them aside. The next step was to stamp the sentiment panels onto gold cardstock (it really IS gold, not yellow), and mat them with black cardstock. I set them aside and began adding the numbers randomly onto a gold panel. I just used a wet glue for this. When the glue had dried, I ran the panel through an embossing folder, and put my card together. Love these Inside Out sentiment sets that Technique Junkies has!!! You should really go check them all out!
I hope you're all well, and I'm so glad you stopped by my blog today!

Very nice cards. I love anything with wood on them and the first card hits the mark. The gold and black card looks nice. The colours go so well and I love this technique. In fact, it was one that was assigned to me for the TJ Newsletter. Beautiful work PJ.
ReplyDeleteFabulous designs and backgrounds, great for a man!
ReplyDeleteBoth these cards are really fun! The sentiments are great. I try to make humorous cards when I can, so I will be making a little visit to TJ to check out their stamps. Thanks so much for always inspiring us with your humor, your style and your card-making ability!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, Patti! I really love the sentiments, especially that first one. It's SO true!! LOL! I do like embossing after attaching pieces - such a cool effect.
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful and fun cards here Patti!! Love that woodgrain background with your wine image and very fitting! The numbers are such a clever idea for a background! How great this would be for a masculine style card too! Thanks for sharing your fun creativity!
ReplyDeleteOMG love the second card - brilliant planning!!! Like the first one as well.
