September Stamp Of The Month

What a fun and versatile set. So many great uses and only $5 with a qualifying purchase of $50. CLICK HERE for details and to shop.

Here is a look at my finished card. I used papers from the Chalk It Up Paper Pack.  The finished size is 5.5 x 4.25.  I used my slate ink pad for the sentiment and it came from the Artbooking cartridge.   The scribbled tab is from the Thanks Oodles Stamp set and stamped with my Lagoon Ink Pad.

The Chevron stamped image and the sentiment are from the Cricut Artbooking bundle which contains 3 stamp sets. I used my Flaxen Ink Pad. The tiny heart is from the Chalk It Up Stickers set. I added just a bit of stickles to the centers of the stars on the chevron image as well as the center of the star sticker. You can also see that I used the journaling pen to do some faux stitching around the mats.

Here is a closer look at the heart image. It is from the September SOTM. The Artiste cartridge has a compatible cut for this stamp.   I stamped it using my Smoothie Ink pad. I also added a little bit of Stickles to the inside image and used some foam tape to give it a little lift.

One last look at the card.

You Mean The World To Me Card

Happy Sabbath crafty friends,
Today I am sharing another card using the FREE* SVG Bundle.

Here is a look at my completed card. The finished size is 5.5 x 5.5. I started with a white cardstock base. I then cut a mat out of champagne cardstock and a piece of seaside paper pack. I then cut a pretty background using one of the SVG files in the FREE bundle (see below).

Here’s a closer look at the sentiment. I used my Slate ink pad and the You Mean The World To Me stamp set.  I stamped it onto one of the svg cuts.

Here’s a look at the base of the sentiment  mat. I cut the scallop in plain white cardstock and then used my Cotton Candy ink pad and the distressed backgrounds stamp set to stamp the “texture”.

For the flowers. I once again used one of the files from the SVG bundle and then used a sponge and sponged some of the cotton candy ink pad  into the centers of my flowers. I then used my  Gold metallic marker  to draw in some of the veins. I also used my same gold marker to color in the pearls I used for the centers. I did also slightly curl the petals.

Here’s a side view. I added some foam tape under each of the flowers to show the depth.

I finished off the look by adding a border with layers of paper and then some Flaxen ribbon and some thin thistle ribbon.

Moments Like This Card

Happy Friday crafty friends,
I am back today with a fast and fabulous card using the August Stamp of The Month: What A Hoot and some more of the SVG cuts from the SVG bundle.

So here is what I came up with.

Here is my finished card. The finished size is 4.25 x 5.5. I started with a plain white cardstock base. I then cut a white cardstock mat and a mat from the Brushed Paper pack collection. I ran both of those mats through the quatrefoil embossing folder and then created a border by using a strip of the teal shimmer trim.

For the flower, I once again used the SVG cut files of the What a Hoot stamp set I created and cut out some “petals”. I stamped them with my Juniper Ink Pad and then brushed them lightly with some of my Crystal Blue ink from the Whimsy Ink Pad set. For the center I added a silver sequins to the center and then used some foam tape to give the flower a little lift.

Here’s a picture of the sentiment. I once again used files from the SVG cut file bundle for the scalloped frames and oval mat. I cut them all out in white cardstock and then inked the middle edge with some Pixie ink and the edge of the oval mat with some more crystal blue ink, both  from the Whimsy Ink Pad set. I did add some White Opal liquid pearls to the centers of the base scallop. I also used some foam tape to give it all a little lift. You can also see that I added little dots of liquid pearls to the intersecting points of the embossing. The sentiment is stamped with my Juniper ink pad and comes from the Sweet Moments stamp set.

The Whimsy Ink Pad set comes with 10 mini pigment ink pads in coordinating colors. It is a great value and they last too!
