Lovely Flowers Birthday Card

So I finally used the Lovely Flowers stamps, dies and stencils.  I've been wanting to use this set for a while, and now I want to make more cards with it!  Here is the card I made:

I used the following for the card:

• Gina K Designs - Lovely Flowers - stamps, dies and stencil
• Gina K Designs - Cobblestone stencil
• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1
• Gina K Designs - Grass Green, Fresh Asparagus, Light Spruce, Medium Spruce, Peach Bellini, Tangerine Twist, Soft Stone inks
• Versamark
• Stampendous - Detail Gold Embossing Powder

To make the card, I stamped the flower and sentiment images in Versamark, added the embossing powder and heat set.  Each of these was then cut using the corresponding dies.  The flower image was colored using the associated stencils, blending brushes and ink.  White cardstock was cut using Master Layouts 1, along with a mat.  The white cardstock was lightly stenciled using the Cobblestone stencil and Soft Stone ink. The card was then assembled, the mat added to the card base, followed by the cobblestone stenciled image, the flowers and the sentiment.

 

Lighthouse BIrthday Card

I love lighthouses.  I purchase stamps and dies that contain lighthouses.  So of course, when I saw the Hero Arts June 2023 kit I had to get it.  I also purchased the lighthouse die window die.  And here is a birthday card made with the kit and die:

I use the following for the card:

• Hero Arts June 2023 Kit 
• Hero Arts - Lighthouse Window Fancy Die
• Gina K - Black Onyx, Powder Blue, Wild Dandelion, Ocean Mist, Turquoise Sea Inks
• Simon Says Stamp - Clouds for Days Stencil

To make the card, I stamped the sun, water and birds using the stamps from the Hero Arts 2023 Kit.  The clouds were stenciled above the water line.  The Lighthouse Window die was used to cut a piece of black cardstock.  The image was then placed behind this piece, and the sentiment added.  The entire piece was added to an A2 card base to complete the card.

For this card I used:

• Lawn Fawn - Walnut Ink
• Wow - Gold Pearl Embossing Power

To make the card, the sunflower image was stamped with Versamark, embossing powder added and heat set.  The image was cut out with the coordinating die and colored with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.  The background was stamped using the Gauze stamp and walnut ink. This was then cut using Master Layouts 2, along with the associated mat.  The two ovals were cut using the Stitched ovals dies.  The sentiment was stamped on the smaller oval using Versamark, embossing power added and heat set.  The card was then assembled, the background mat added to the card base, followed by the stamped gauze image, the large oval, the small oval and finally the sunflower image was added to complete the card.

15 cards with Kendra's Card Challenge #15

For Kendra's Card Challenge #15, I decided that I wanted to use patterned paper that was unlike what I usually use.  I wanted something bright, so I chose Pink & Main Bright Botanicals for the patterned paper.  One thing I really liked was that it was double sided, so I had a choice which pattern to use.

Mini Slimline Birthday Card.

For a while, I've had an idea of a card I wanted to make.  When I got Master Layouts 15 from Gina K and associated Filler stencil, I knew I had all of the pieces to make the card!

 I used the following for the card:

• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 7, Master Layouts 15, Master Layouts 15 Filler Stencil
• Gina K Designs - Fresh Asparagus, Light Lilac, Medium Lilac Inks
• Gina K Designs - Bold Blooms (sentiment), Take Card (flowers) Stamp sets
• Gina K Designs - Wild Wisteria paper

To make the card, I cut the three postage stamps and associated mat from Master Layouts 15.  Then using the stencil, I lightly added Light Lilac ink using a blender brush.  The flowers were then stamped using Medium Lilac Ink, and the stems and leaves stamped using Fresh Asparagus.  The three postage stamp die cut was added to the mat.  Master Layouts 7 was then used to cut the next layers.  These were added to the card base, and on top the postage stamp images.  The sentiment was added to complete the card.

Using leftover foil for another Birthday Card!

I had to use the leftover foil from a card I made a few weeks back,  Since the foil could be added to black toner sheets, I did that to make the background of this card.  (Now I just need to learn how to take a picture of a foiled card without getting a reflection in the foil!)

I used the following for the card:

• Gina K Designs - Wetlands 2 Stamp set
• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1
• Wink of Stella - Gold
• MFT - Black Licorice Ink
• Therm-o-web - Gold leftover foil from foiling the Gina K Thick Brush Stencil-Mate

To make the card, I added the foil to the Black Toner sheet using my Fuse Machine.  This was then die cut using Master Layouts 1 (along with the black mat).  These were added to the card base. The image and sentiment were stamped on white paper and then manually cut to size and added to a black mat.  These were added to the card.  Wink of Stella was added to the wings of the dragonfly to add a bit of shimmer.

Another Foiled Birthday Card!

Here is another card made with a Stencil and associated Stencil-Mate

I used the following for the card:

• Gina K Designs - Lush Leaves Stencil and matching Stencil-Mate
• Gina K Designs - Tranquil Teal, Lucky Clover, Wild Wisteria Ink
• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1
• Gina K Designs - Birthday Cheer Poly-glaze
• Therm-o-web - Emerald Watercolor and Champagne Deco Foil

To make the card, I foiled the Stencil-Mate with the Emerald Watercolor foil.  Then using the stencil, the various inks were added.  The image was then cut using the Master Layouts 1, along with the associated mat (in this case I used blue foil paper).  The sentiment was cut using the oval from Master Layouts 1 (along with the blue foil mat).  The sentiment was foiled using Champagne Foil.  The pieces were assembled and added to the card base to complete the card.
