Inkadinkado Flower Stamp, Second Card

This is the second card I made with the same Inkadinkado stamp. With this card I stamped the flower and the words in gold and embossed it with gold embossing powder on a shimmery gold paper. Both pieces were layered on brown paper. The background is a shimmery paper from SEI's Windsor Sommerset collection. The background is layered on a brown cardstock; the base of the card is the same gold shimmery paper. A ribbon was added to the thank you tag. The word stamp is from Technique Tuesday.

Inkadinkado Flower Stamp

I used this stamp to create two different cards. Often when you buy a stamp, you have one card in mind and struggle to come up with a different idea.

For this card I started by stamping the flower only in Versa Color Peony. I stamped it many times making it a background. I stamped off the paper first, then stamped the image three or four times before reinking. Then I stamped the flower with the stem 3 times. I masked the first two images so I wouldn't have overlapping leaves. I used a Marvy olive maker for the stems and leaves. The words are from Wordsworth. The card was layered on a pink Bazzil cardstock. I embellished the flowers with Liquid Pearls in Lemon Yellow and the leaves with clear Stickles.

Nutcracker

This is such a cute paper from Graphic 45. The card is made from brown cardstock, layered with red Bazzil paper, then the decorative paper. The words were stamped in gold ink with gold embossing powder on brown paper layered in the red Bazzil paper. I used a slot punch to thread the ribbon under the words. Gold Dew Drops were placed on the corners. The inside of the card is a pop up card with individual nutcrackers cut and layered on the pop up steps. Very cute! I'm going to send this card to my nieces and nephew in California; I think they will like it. I even got a wow out of my son!

Flowers

Here is a cute card that is easy to make.

The stamp is from Memory Box Spring Flowers. The flowers were stamped in Versa Color Peony, Ash Rose, Petal Pink, Sage, Mountain Lake, Baby Blue, and Boysenberry. The stems were punched with a paper piercer. The card was layered on black and then purple cardstock. A pearl was added to the center of each flower and the flowers were covered with clear Stickles. A ribbon was added to the bottom of the card.

Monogram Cards

This paper is a beautiful paisley foil paper from Heidi Grace Designs. The picture doesn't show the shimmer in the paper. I used this paper to make a set of four note cards. I used four brown cards from Waste Not paper with matching envelopes. The paisley paper was layered on each note card. A strip of pink shimmery paper was added to each card. Using the Spellbinders scallop circles, I layered a brown and beige circle. I used an alphabet stamp from Clearly Wordsworth for the monogram.

Poinsettias

This is a really elegant looking card. The poinsettia paper is from Cloud 9 Designs Christmas Joy Collection. It's difficult to see from the photo that some of the flowers are glittered. Using an Exacto knife I partially cut around two poinsettias. A gold shimmery cardstock was stamped with Encore gold ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. The gold carstock was placed under the two cut poinsettias. Two additional poinsettias were cut from an extra piece of paper. A large poinsettia was layered over the large poinsettia with mounting tape. A small poinsettia was added to the top right side of the card. Gold Art Glitter Elements were added to the center of each poinsettia with Glossy Accents. The base of the card is the same gold shimmery cardstock.

Christmas Penguin

This card was made with Cloud 9 Design Christmas Boughs paper. The penguin was stamped on the decorative paper and again on white paper. The penguin was cut from the white paper and layered over the decorative paper. The scarf was colored with red and green Marvy Markers. The red blocks in the scarf were covered with red Stickles, the green blocks and the penguin were covered with Glossy Accents. Red Stickles covered the red berries in the paper. The words are from Outlines, stamped in Versafine black with red Stickles added to the border. The words were layered in red and green Bazzil paper. A red and green checked ribbon was used.

Christmas Medallion

This is a style that I enjoy. The Holly Berry House medallion was stamped four times with Versamark on various shades of blue Bazzil paper and embossed with white embossing powder. Each one was cut and layered with mounting tape. Between the first and second layer I added a snowflake cut from a lace snowflake paper. The medallion was placed on blue Bazzil cardstock that was stamped with a snowflake from Technique Tuesday's No Two Alike set in Versa Color Baby Blue ink. The words are from Rubber Soul;and are stamped in Stazon ultramarine ink. The top layer of the medallion was covered with Lapis Art Glitter glass glitter. An organdy ribbon was add to the top of the medallion.

Graphic 45 Paper

This card was made with Graphic 45 paper and punching a border around a red shimmery paper. A corner punch from KI Success was used. After punching the corners, the guard was removed from the punch and the sides were punched trying to space them equally. The text from Psalm 23, The Lord is My Shepherd, was computer generated on the Graph 45 paper. The punched paper was layered over the printed text. Gold Dew Drops and a gold ribbon were used to embellish the card.
