Get Well Soon

Hello there!

I'm sharing two beautiful cards today that I have created with new stamps, from Technique Junkies.

Here is my first card.  This card features a brand new stamp Japanese Crane, and an older sentiment from the Simple Sentiments Set 2, Style b.  I stamped the image and sentiment using Catherine Pooler's Twilight Ink. The focal panel was trimmed, matted on gray cardstock, and layered over the card base, and a piece of pretty patterned paper.

In this shot, I laid the card at an angle, to show the pretty gold shine on the designer paper. The image and paper goes together beautifully!

Next up, is a card that I created with another new stamp that I love, Praying Hands. This lovely image could be used for so many occasions! The image was stamped with Catherine Poolers Over Coffee Ink, as was the sentiment, Difficult Time. (This set of 2 sympathy sentiments is wonderful, and stamps beautifully, and is ONLY $5.95 for both stamps!!!) The focal panel was adhered over top of a crinkled brown cardstock, then adhered to the card base.

These were both easy cards to create!

I hope you're all well, and I'm so glad you stopped by my blog today!

Bird and a Poinsettia Border

Hello Friends!

I'm up on the Technique Junkies blog to share three holiday cards, using beautiful new release stamps from Technique Junkies.

I chose to work with #S914 Bird and Poinsettia Border today. Hope you like this stamp as much as I do!

First up, was this pretty blue card. The image was stamped in a soft shade of blue onto a shiny silver cardstock, and matted onto a blue base. I totally love this one!

Moving on, I repeated the process with a tan theme. Love this one too! (It's not as dark as it looks in real life - more of a silvery tan). 

Now, comes the mess.... this one was heat embossed in silver, and then colored with copic markers and fussy cut, adhering the image to a burgandy colored card base. Lol...I like the first two cards much better! What do you think?

So glad you stopped by today!

Happy Saturday!

Happy Saturday!

The snow is beginning to finally melt, and I'm hopeful that by Monday, I can drive

myself places again!  My last trip out that I actually drove, was on Feb. 13th!

Hope you're enjoying some sunshine where you are, as well.

On to my card!

I have a sweet card to share with you today that uses stamps from Great Impressions.

Here's what I created, using: Great Impressions Valentine Bird Houses G517, and Great Impressions Tags G483.

This was so easy to do.

I began with my white card base...folded it, and set it aside.

I cut a piece of cloud paper to about 5 1/4 x 3 3/4 inches. 

My handy dandy scissors cut a little hillside, which I adhered to the lower section of the panel.

I trimmed it up to the right width after adhering.

The sentiment was stamped on a scrap of white card stock, adhered to the green hill, and an enamel dot finished that off.  

The image was then stamped onto the cloud panel, as well as several pieces of patterned papers.  

The birds and one birdhouse and leaves were cut from these patterned papers, and paper-pieced, by adhering the pieces directly onto the stamped image.

The focal panel was then placed onto a mat of black card stock, and then onto the white card base.

What a fun stamp this is!  It was easy to paper piece, and I can't wait to color it!

Be sure to stop by the Great Impressions store (HERE) and treat yourself to a few new stamps!

Thanks for stopping by - see you next Saturday with a really fun spring creation!

Hugs,

Patti J.
