Stamping Expressions

Friends 24-7

 

As a bird lover, I just had to have this set!  I actually cased this right out of the Spring Idea Book and Catalog. I inked the stamp with Baha Breeze, used a blender pen to pull the color off the limb, then colored it with a Chocolate Chip marker. I used Versamark on the EnFrancais Background stamp on the Kraft cardstock and then versamarked the medallion on top of that.  I also versamarked the medallion on the piece of Baha Breeze before adding a piece of Kraft Tafetta ribbon.  The image and "Friends" are popped up on dimensionals. You can order the supplies to create this card and others like here. Email me if you would like me to make a set of cards for you.  Happy Stamping!

Soft Summer Sympathy

 

This uses the other image in the Soft Summer set in the Occasions Mini. I don't know about you, but sympathy cards are the hardest for me to make.  I stamped the image with brown Stazon then used a blender pen and Not Quite Navy ink to color it.  Then I went back over some of them with a little more color to give it some depth.  The strip of brown paper is from the Parisian Breeze Specialty DSP.  I love the weight of this paper!  The edge is done with the Eyelet Scallop punch, another favorite of mine.  I versamarked the image on the upper half of the Baha Breeze cardstock before adhering  the other pieces. 

Summer Pirouette

 

This image is from one of the set Soft Summer in the Occassions Mini Catalog.   I stamped it with brown Stazon used a blender pen and ink to color it.  It's layered on Pink Pirouette and Chocolate Chip.  I added some Dew Drops and this wonderful 5/8" organdy ribbon.  It's heavier than the taffeta ribbon and makes a beautiful bow!  I ran a piece of Pink Pirouette through my Sizzix using one of the fabulous Texturz plates then trimmed it down to fit on the white cardstock. This may be one of the cards I use for Mother's Day!  Happy Stamping!

 

 

Easter Baskets

 

These baskets were made with the Bigz Scalloped Envelope die and are so easy to put together!  The one on the left was also run through a Texturz die with the large circles and then I sponged the dots and edges with Pretty in Pink.  The tag is from my favorite Bunny Hugs set (retired) and the bunny is embossed in white with a little white pom pom for the tail.  For the one on the right I cut 1/2" strips of designer series paper and wove them together.  Now let me show you MY Easter Bunny! This is "Buddy" and he lives in a huge house - our screened porch.  This is his favorite place when I let him out on the deck - pansies are yummy, so I have to keep an eye on him!  Easter blessings to all of you!
