How can it be a whole month since my last post?! Where did all those days go? I could understand it if my life had been full of adventures and excitement but really, all I did was go to work, clean my house and do chores. Not so snappy!
Anyway, here I am with some cards that I created for my last couple of classes. I get a ton of inspiration from Pinterest, whether it's a color combination, a card design or a specific technique. Sometimes I try to copy exactly but end up putting my own spin on the project. That's what I love about this craft - it's open for interpretation.
So, here are the cards I've made:
This technique is triple layer stamping. I stacked the white pieces on top of each other and stamped the images over all three. It does create a bit of a gap between the pieces but once you layer the green cardstock in there, it's covered up. Cool!
Isn't this little starfish cute? He had a saying underneath him but I didn't want to use it. Thanks to the wonder of acrylic stamps, I was able to cut it off and save it for other uses. A lot of sanding and sponging went into this card. The little bit of burlap ribbon adds just the right touch.
I love black and white with pops of color! The little squares here were sponged with three different colors and then stamped in black. Pop! A bit of black tulle ribbon, a crocheted flower and voila!
LOVE this color combo! Since our CTMH cardstock has a white core, it can sometimes be difficult to dry emboss it without that showing through. So, I just added a second layer of cardstock when running it through the machine which prevented that from happening. There's ALWAYS a solution! The sentiment came from an exclusive stamp set we received at convention when we went to Disneyworld. I am a
fanatic huge fan!
Such a bright spring-time card! I had a bunch of scraps of the B&T and was able to create these great stripes on the front. Clean and simple, just the way I like it.
Smiles, Caron
