Botanical Duo Birthday Card

Sometimes an idea just doesn't work, but that doesn't mean that everything had to be thrown out.  I was able to use the background for this card. 

 

I used the following to make the card:

• Gina K Designs - Friendly Silhouettes stamp set
• Gina K Designs - Botanical Duo dies
• Gina K Designs - White Pigment Ink
• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1
• Honey Bee - Sentiment Strips dies
• Stampendous - Detail White Embossing Powder
• Craft Consortium - Inky Drops - Candy
• Memory Box Glitter Paper

To make the card, the Craft Consortium and Memory Box papers were cut with Master Layouts 1. The Craft Consortium paper was added to the Glitter paper mat. The entire panel was added to a white card base. Botanical Duo dies were used to cut the flowers and leaves and added to the card.  The sentiment was stamped using white pigment ink, embossing powder added and heat set.  The sentiment was cut using the banner dies and attached to the card using foam tape completing the card.

Sailboat Window View

 I gave this card to my Husband for Father's Day, but it could be used for a Birthday card as well.  

For the card, I used:

• Gina K - By the Sea 2
• Simon Says Stamp - Waves Stencil
• Distress Ink - Stormy Sky, Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon, Squeezed Lemonade
• Memory Box - Grand Madison Arched Window
• Acetate
• Prismacolor Colored Pencils

To make the card. I cut the window twice, once from a wood grained brown card stock, and once from a wood grained yellow card stock.  I then pieced the brown window frame into the yellow paper, and attached it using a little bit of tape.  Acetate was added to the window. Using the stencil and the blue distress inks, the water was created on a piece of white card stock.  I then created the sun with a blending brush.  The sailboat was stamped on white card stock, and colored with colored pencils.  It was fussy cut and added to the background piece. Foam tape was used to attach the background to the window.  This was then added to the card base to complete the card.

Challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge  - Lazy Days Of Summer

Snowy Penguin Christmas Card

For this card, I used a lot of different dies from different manufacturers.  I am very glad that I have a Gemini Junior, since this card is all die cutting, it saved a lot of time.  

I used the following for the card:

• Elizabeth Craft Designs - Chilly The Penguin Die
• Hero Arts - Snowflake Edge Fancy Die
• Simon Says Stamp - Maryanne Snowflake Die
• Creative Expressions - Let it Snow Die
• Memory Box - Winter Tiny Snowflakes Stencil
• Vicki Boutin - Iridescent Glitter Texture Paste

To make the card, all of the elements were die cut.  I used a dark blue card base, and added the iridescent glitter paste through the Memory Box stencil.  It doesn't show up much in the photo, but the effect was stunning.  Once the glitter paste was dry all of the elements were added to complete the card.
 

Let it Snow - Christmas Card

When I first saw this snowman, I knew I had to have the die,  He is just so cute!  And it uses a lot of scrap pieces of paper!  Here is the card:

To make the card, I used:

• Deco Foil Transfer Gel
• Gina K Fancy Foils - Sparkling Silver
• Creative Expression - Sue Wilson - Let it Snow Die, Build a Snowman Die set
• Memory Box - Winter Tiny Snowflakes Stencil
• Lawn Fawn - Stitched Hillside Die
• Heidi Swapp - Toner Sheets, Red Minc Foil

To make the card, I cut out all of the pieces for the Snowman and Light using a variety of scrap pieces of paper.  I assembled the Snowman and light.  The hill was cut from white paper.  I trimmed a piece of light blue paper, slightly smaller than the card base.  Using the stencil, transfer gel was added.  Once dry, the Sparkling Silver foil was added using my Minc machine.  I cut the Let It Snow from toner sheets, and added the red foil.  All of the pieces were then added to the card base to complete the card.
