Postage Stamp Mothers Day card

I used lots of stamps for this card!  Each postage stamp used a different silhouette stamp from a variety of sets!

I used the following for this card:

• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 14
• Gina K Designs - Black Onyx, Ocean Mist, Lovely Lavender, Applemint Inks
• Gina K Designs - Masking Magic Strips
• Gina K Designs - Wild Blossoms, Friendly Silhouettes, Natural Silhouettes Stamp sets
• Close to My Heart - Framed Stamp of the Month
• Waffle Flower - Postage Collage, Fall Postage Collage Stamp sets

To make the card, I cut the postage stamps from Master Layouts 14.  I also cut the matching mat piece from a piece of black card stock.  On the postage stamps, I used masking magic strips to mask out the areas between the stamps and the very edges.  The inks were then added to each stamp using blending brushes.  The images were stamped in black for each stamp, and postage amounts were added to all but the sentiment postage stamp.  The postage stamps were added to the mat, and then the entire piece added to the card base to complete the card.

Its a card that could be used for many occassions!

This card could be used for a variety of occasions, since the sentiment on the front doesn't indicate a specific occasion.

I used the following for the card:

• Gina K Designs - Light, Medium and Dark Orchid Ink, Black Onyx Ink
• Gina K Designs - Sending Love stamp set
• Gina K Designs - Filled with Sunshine stamp set
• MFT - Oval stencil

To make the card, I placed the oval stencil on a white card base and added the Orchid inks from dark to light.  The images were stamped over the oval to complete the card.

A Cricut Mothers Day card

Here is a card I made using a design from Cricut Access.  

The card was easy to make!  The rose and the sentiment were both cut from Cricut Access.  They were then backed with peach foiled cardstock.  The sentiment was added to the rose image and the entire piece added to the card base to complete the card.

Mothers Day card (Gina K Designs)

I've this stamp and stencil combination for a while, and figured it was time to use it!  The stamp barely fit on the card!  It is a huge stamp and the stencil makes it so simple to add color.

I used the following for the card:

• Gina K Designs - Lovely Flowers stamp and stencil
• Gina K Designs - Handmade Holidays stamp set and dies
• Gina K Designs - Black Onyx, Medium and Dark Carnation, Light and Medium Spruce, Jelly Bean Green, Grass Green Inks

This was a simple card to make!  The flower image was stamped on a white card base.  Color was added using the associated stencils.  The sentiment was stamped to complete the card.

Two cards, one stencil and die

I was able to get two cards from one stenciled panel and one die cut!  I used a layering stencil from Hero Arts, which I've wanted to use for a while and the die is from the new Gina K Master Layouts 14. The first card is the one I planned, the second was made from the left overs!

For both these cards I used:

• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 14
• Gina K Designs - Peach Bellini, Sandy Beach, Warm Cocoa, Black Onyx Inks
• Hero Arts - Seashell Layering Stencil

Card 1 also used:

• My Favorite Things - Delicious Birthday Stamp Set
• Unknown - Words for Saying

Card 2 also used:

• Waffle Flower - Postage Collage and Fall Postage Collage Stamp Sets
• Gina K Designs - Breath of Sunshine Stamp Set
• Gina K Designs - Sunshine Stencil
• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 2

To make the cards, I used the Seashell Layering Stencil with the Gina K inks Peach Bellini, Sandy Beach and Warm Cocoa.  The image was then cut with the Master Layouts 14 postage die.  

For the first card, I used the die again, and cut a piece of white card stock,  I cut the individual "stamps" from the stenciled panel out and chose the 3 I was going to use, which were added to the die cut white piece.  For the other areas of the white die cut, I added a bit of Peach Bellini around the edges.  These areas were then stamped with the sentiments.  I cut a mat out of Kraft card stock using ML 14, and attached the postage stamp piece to it.  The entire panel was added to the card base to complete the card.

For the second card, I used the stitched die from Master Layouts 2 to cut a piece of Kraft cardstock. This was then stenciled using the Sunshine Stencil and Peach Bellini ink.  This piece was added to the white mat which was also cut from Master Layouts 2 and added to the card base.  I arranged the "left over" stamps on the stenciled piece and added the sentiment. Postage amounts were added to the stamps to complete the card.

Black and White Birthday card

For this card, I kept it simple, mainly black and white with just a hint of color.

I use the following to make the card:

• Gina K Designs - Better Together, Sketched Flowers stamp sets
• Gina K Designs - Wild Wisteria Ink
• Gina K Designs - Thick Bruch Stencil
• MFT - Black Licorice Ink

To make the card, I lightly added the Wild Wisteria ink through the stencil.  The image and the sentiment were stamped on top.  This was then trimmed down and added to a black mat.  The entire piece was added to the card base to complete the card.
