Easter Egg Nap Card

I made this adorable card with my House-Mouse Easter Egg Nap stamp. I love to collect all House-Mouse stuff 'cause it's so stinkin' adorable. I'm really happy with how this turned out because the colors look great together and I love that background. Here's how to make it:

First cut a 5 1/2" x 11" piece of pink card stock and fold it in half for the base, a 5 3/8" x 5 3/8" piece of light blue for the first layer, a 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" piece of purple for the second layer, a 5 1/8" x 5 1/8" piece of patterned paper for the front layer, a 3 1/8" x 3 1/8" piece of pink for the image first layer, a 3" x 3" piece of light blue for the image second layer, a 2 7/8" x 2 7/8" piece off purple for the image third layer, and a 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" piece of white for the image.

I usually use ink pads and an aqua painter to color my cards but prefer re-inkers for coloring mice because I can add water to lighten the colors. Stamp the image with Stazon Jet Black ink then color the mouse with Stampin' Up! Chocolate Chip and Creamy Caramel re-inkers. Next color the egg and grass with the dark marker in the Stampin' Up! Pink Pirouette Stampin' Blendabilities set, and Soft Sky, Pale Plum and Wild Wasabi ink pads. After image drys assemble the card and enjoy!

Here's another winter pine tree card made with my Stampin' Up! Lovely as a Tree stamp set. It's one of my favorites because it's really versatile. It has a tree that works for every season or reason. I'm really happy with how this turned out. The colors look great together and I love the ombre effect. Here's how I made it:

First cut a 6" x 9" piece of navy blue card stock and fold it in half for the base, a 4 1/4" x 5 3/4" piece of Stampin' Up! Elegant Eggplant for the middle layer and a 4" x 5 1/2" piece of white for the front layer.

Then using a stamp positioner stamp both trees with the Stampin' Up! Lovely as a Tree set in Stazon Jet Black ink. Then sponge the top half of the sky with Stampin' Up! Night of Navy ink from dark to light then the bottom half with Stampin' Up! Elegant Eggplant ink again from dark to light starting at the bottom leaving a small amount of white in the middle. Then create the snow by tearing a thin piece of white card stock and adding Diamond Stickles glitter glue to the edge. Allow to dry completely, attach to base of trees, assemble the card and enjoy!

Please let me know if you have any questions, I'm always happy to help. I always appreciate any comments/suggestions that you'd like to share. Thank you for stopping by, have a great day!

Life Without Dogs Card

I made this cute card with my Stampin' Up! Hot Diggity Dog stamp set. It's another one of my favorites because the images are adorable, the sayings are humorous and it's really versatile. It was also really easy to make too. Here's how to do it:

First cut a 6" x 9" piece of pink card stock and fold it in half for the base, a 4 1/4" x 5 3/4" piece of turquoise for the middle layer, a 4" x 5 1/2" piece of white for the front layer, a 2" x 5 1/4" piece of pink for the strip background, a 1 3/4" x 5" piece of patterned paper for the strip, a 2 1/4" x 3" piece of pink for the image background, a 2" x 2 3/4" piece of white for the image, a 1" x 2" piece of pink for the sentiment background and a 3/4" x 1 3/4" piece of white for the sentiment.

Then create the background by inking the raised side of a Darice Paw Print embossing folder with a brayer and Stampin' Up! Melon Mambo ink. Then dry emboss the front layer. Next stamp the dog's head on scrap paper with Melon Mambo ink and cut it out then stamp the body on the 2" x 2 3/4" piece of white card stock. Next attach the head to the body with a mini pop dot then stamp the sentiment. Then create the strip using desired patterned paper (I'm not sure who made mine as I've had it forever and no longer have the package) and attach the ribbon. Next assemble the card, add any desired additional stickers or bling and enjoy!

Blackberry Bliss Corner Garden Card

I made this beautiful card using my Stampin' Up! Corner Garden, Painted Petals, and Hardwood stamp sets. I love these sets because they're very versatile and a whole lot of fun to use. Here's how I made it:

First cut a 5 3/4" x 9 1/2" piece of Stampin' Up! Blackberry Bliss card stock and fold it in half for the base, a 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Stampin' Up! Very Vanilla for the middle layer, and a 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of vellum for the front.

Then stamp the background using the Stampin' Up! Hardwood stamp in Blackberry Bliss ink and set aside. Then heat emboss the Corner Garden stamp on vellum with Versamark ink and white embossing powder and allow to cool. Next flip the vellum over and color each flower from the back using either an aqua painter or blender pen and Stampin' Up! Wisteria Wonder, Garden Green, and Blackberry Bliss ink pads. Then using a stamp positioner, stamp the sentiment with a stamp from the Painted Petals set in Blackberry Bliss ink and allow to dry. Next attach the vellum to the background and tie a piece of Blackberry Bliss thick baker's twine around the edge of both layers. Then cut out the butterflies with a Stampin' Up! Beautiful Wings Embosslit, attach them to the vellum with mini pop dots, finish assembling the card and enjoy!
