Simply INKredible Stamping

Evergreen Forest Embossing Folder card

This is a very simple Christmas card  You can use any foil paper.  i used the Noble Peacock Foil (retired) but gold, silver or copper would be very pretty too. I used the new Evergreen Forest Embossing Folder (153576 $10) and a tag.  I also used the Snowflake Splendor ribbon (153548 $7).  I layered the foil on a matching card stock and then on a white thick cardstock.  So simple but absolutely beautiful.  Maybe you have some Noble Peacock foil hanging around that needs to be used.  Try it.  The sentiment is from the Dove of Hope on page 13 of the Holiday catalog (153406 $22).  I also used some rhinestones to embellish.

This was my Make and Take at my Open House on Saturday.  I thought the attendees would love a simple card that they could reproduce easily.  I love the new Gift Wrapped Stamp Set (153432 $17) on page 12 of the Holiday Catalog.  There is a coordinating punch (Gift Builder Punch 153606 $18)  My sentiment is from the stamp set.  The card base is Real Red and the Designer Series Paper is Heartwarming Hugs (153492 $11.50)  All products are on page 9-12 of the Holiday Catalog.   The entire suite is fabulous (155106 $123.25)which includes Heartwarming Hugs DSP, Warm Hugs Bundle, Wrapped in Christmas stamps, Mini Coffee Carrier, Mini Coffee Cups, Wrapped in Texture Embossing folders, Mossy Meadow Diagonal Stripe Ribbon, Real Red Braided Trim and Glitter stars.  Lots of product for a good price.

World of Good Club Card

Here is my second club card for July.  I used the Beautiful World Bundle (154091).  I love the Old World Paper 3-D Embossing Folder (153200).  I used the new in-colors for this project.  I purchased instructions from Connie and Mary.  It's a beautiful card.  

Peony Birthday card

I am in love with the new Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (152483).  It has Petal Pink, Basic Gray and Gray Granite colors.  Here is one of my cards I made for my club cards this month.  I gave them a choice of using Petal Pink or Rococo Rose Blends to color.  They turned out beautiful.  

This card base is Basic Gray (121044).  The designer paper need to be cut 1/8" smaller on the length and on the width to measure 5 1/8" X 3 7/8".  On the bottom left side measure in 1 1/4"  to the left side of the card and put a tic mark.  Then from the same corner measure up 1 1/4" up towards the top.  Cut the DSP from the top left corner to the first tic mark.  that is the lower side of the card, then pivot the DSP from the top corner to the other tic mark and cut.  Now you have all 3 pieces to make the card.  I colored the middle piece with my blends. Attach all 3 pieces to the card front leaving a tiny bit of gray cardstock in between each piece.  Add a sentiment and ribbon and you are finished.  Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Gorgeous Posies card kit

Hello Everyone, 

I hope you are having a great day.  I received the Gorgeous Posies card kit (153131) $32 last week.  i took the kit to my cottage and made up all 16 cards.  There are 4 designs and you get 4 of each design.  Since I mail a bunch of cards every month, this kit is fabulous and a big help.  My friends and customers will love them.  My cottage is on the Albemarle Sound in Hertford, NC.  It is the perfect place to stamp.  Peace and quiet and looking over the Sound.  This kit was very easy to make  and it took very little time, but the cards look like you worked on them diligently.  The Gorgeous Posies stamp set (153289) $19 is an additional product needed to make the cards.  I hope you will order this kit and stamp set.  You will need Blackberry Bliss, Blushing Bride, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather ink pads.  You probably have those already.  Thanks so much for visiting my blog.

Celebrate Sunflowers

I had friends in my Stamp Studio stamping on Saturday.  Everyone came up with some fabulous cards.  I had to make cards for my clubs and this is one of the cards I made.  We always need cards to say thanks.  The Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and dies  bundle (154065) have so much beautiful detail.

Here is a new technique that i found online.  I used Stampin' Up!'s Fluid 100 Watercolor paper (149612).  I wet the paper and let the water soak in a bit.  I then took a marker and drew lines in different colors and pulled the color out of each line.  I then allowed it to dry and added to my card.  The card is Coastal Cabana layered with Old Olive.  I stamped the sunflowers in Memento Black and colored with my Blends in Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Pretty Peacock.  The center of the flowers are Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody.  Thanks for visiting my blog today.
