Hip Hip Hooray!
There’s a new challenge over at Stamp Nation – to create a card with Red, White and Blue, one of my favorite combinations! I paired those colors with the sketch from Mojo Monday 352.
This card is 3 1/2″ wide by 5 1/2″ tall. I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder to dry emboss navy Stampin’ Up cardstock. The stars were cut from several different My Favorite Things die cuts using Stampin’ Up and Bazzill cardstock. The patterned paper strip is from the Carta Bella, Ahoy collection. I stamped the Stampin’ Up Hip Note sentiment with Stampin’ Up navy ink.
Have a happy and safe 4th of July!
Poppystamps Holiday Release: Deck the Halls
The Poppystamps Blog Blitz is underway! Today, I’m sharing a winter holiday-themed card featuring several of the new release dies combined with Poppystamps favorites.
To create a cozy holiday scene, I started with the Elegant Stair Frame, which cuts and embosses. For color and decoration, I cut the Leafy Garland several times and attached it to the banister, adding some pearls as embellishment. I cut a portion of the Frozen Border and put it behind the Small Madison Window, to give the illusion of a snowstorm outside. The staircase frame is attached to the card base with dimensional adhesive to create depth. I finished off the scene with the Large Walking Cat and sentiment I created on my computer.
Penny Black Krafty Kats
I’m over on the Penny Black Blog today with another card featuring one of the new Krafty Kats stamps.
I stamped and heat embossed the cat and sentiment on watercolor paper, and then watercolored the cat with Faber-Castell watercolor pencils and Distress Inks. I cut the panel with a rectangular die cut and attached it to a cellophane bag. The bag is attached directly to the card panel, which I stamped with the Dotted Fusion background stamp. The die cut tag, with a gift card attached, slips into the cellophane bag.

Happy July to you! I’m over on the Penny Black Blog today with a card featuring one of the new Krafty Kats stamps.
I stamped and heat embossed the cat on watercolor paper and colored with both Faber-Castell watercolor pencils and Distress Inks. The Hooray sentiment was cut three times with the die for added depth. The orange balloon is attached with dimensional adhesive.
The Krafty Kats release will be featured all week on the Penny Black Blog – be sure to check out the inspiration there!
