Mermaid Kisses – TE Share Joy Challenge #35

I’m playing along with the Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #35.

Using the sketch, I created a card showcasing the Mermaid Kisses Stamp & Die Combo. This would be the perfect card for a young girl!

I stamped and colored the mermaid with Copic markers and cut her out with the corresponding die (goodbye fussy cutting!). I cut the stamped sentiment with one of the Stitched Banner Stacklets dies. I used patterned paper from my stash for the card background, accent strip and circle behind the mermaid (all Echo Park but different collections). The card base was dry-embossed with the On the Spot embossing folder.

#1 Dad – TE Share Joy Challenge #34

I’m playing along with the Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #34.

I used the sketch to create a masculine card that could be used for Father’s Day, or any other occasion celebrating the Dad in your life (I’m using it for my husband’s upcoming birthday!).

I went bold with the colors here! I played around with other “masculine” color schemes (for example, tan/navy/green) settling on this one because the orange flame and black BBQ grill cut with the Little Bits – Grill set worked best with the red and yellow. A frame cut with Stitched Frame Stacklets 1 made for a nice finished border.

Block Party – Dad	Little Bits – Grill	Stitched Frame Stacklets 1	Stitched Rectangle Stacklets
Stitched Banner Stacklets	Chunky #’s	Premium Cardstock – Candy Corn	Premium Cardstock – Earl Grey
Premium Cardstock – Lemon Meringue	Premium Cardstock – Sugar Cube	Chalkstock	Premium Cardstock – Cherry Pop

TE Share Joy Challenge #33

Today I’m sharing a card I created for Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #33.

I used the sketch to create an encouragement or congratulations card showcasing the Sky High – Airplane set. This is a perfect boy card!

I cut a variety of cardstock colors with the Sky High – Airplane set and assembled the pieces with liquid adhesive. I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Sky High Sentiments set and cut it with a die in the Stitched Banner Stacklets set. I used the Cloudy Days embossing folder for the panel behind the airplane and the Houndstooth embossing folder for the lower portion of the card. I rarely use two embossing folders on one card, but the patterned paper I tried on the lower half just didn’t work. The patterned paper strip (Carta Bella) was also cut with one of the dies in the Stitched Banner Stacklets set. (I cut once and then turned it around to cut a rectangle rather than a banner.)

TE Share Joy Challenge #32

Today I’m sharing two CAS cards I created for Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #32.

The cards (variations on the same idea) showcase the Stitch by Stitch 2 stamp set.

Using the MISTI I stamped the image and sentiment onto Sugar Cube cardstock (two separate stamps that I lined up). I inked the sentiment with an ink pad (holding a post-it note over the image) and then colored the image with Distress Ink and Memento markers. The MISTI made it possible to get good coverage. I cut the image with one of the dies in the Stitched Square Stacklets set, framed it with a slightly larger square, cut from Chocolate Truffle cardstock, and attached it to a woodgrain patterned paper.

With the stamps still on the MISTI I stamped the image and sentiment (using the same method as above) onto Buttercream Frosting cardstock. I cut the image with one of the dies in the Stitched Square Stacklets set and attached it to a card panel cut from a different woodgrain patterned paper in my stash. The darker woodgrain paper looked better with the Buttercream Frosting cardstock and didn’t need the image to be framed in a darker cardstock.

TE Share Joy Challenge #31

I’m playing along with the Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #31.

I used the sketch to create a “hello” card:

The focal point of my card is the Stacked Teacups die cut, which I attached with foam adhesive to the Mark Your Spot Bookmark (cut down to make a tag). I used the inner oval of the rug in the Build a Scene – Nursery set to create a saucer. I used one of the dies from Build a Bookmark to create a horizontal band (I cut it twice; the seam is behind the tag). The band is attached to a panel dry-embossed with the Dotted Lattice folder. I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Simply Succulents Stamp & Die Combo set and cut it with a Stitched Banner Stacklets die.
