Work of Art

Hi Everyone! How is the summer going for everyone? I am having a hard time getting inside. We have had such beautiful weather here in Southern Ontario that I am trying to be outside as much as I can. Plus, I love sitting out back watching everything grow and listening to the birds singing away!

Back to the card I have for you. About a week ago a friend of mine asked me to make her some cards. She just loves the greeting 'Oh Happy Day' from the Sale-A-Bration set in 2013. I wanted to use certain colours for this card. What do you think?

Gorgeous Grunge and Gently Falling

Hi Everyone! Today's card reminds me of Canada Day! Probably because of the colours that I chose: Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, and Sahara Sand. Also, the Maple Leaf stamp from the Gently Falling stamp set is so Canadian! I just had to make another one with "O'Canada".

 

See what I mean? It goes perfectly, doesn't it? I will be sending this one to my niece in Australia.

Gorgeous Grunge

Hi Everyone! Today's card is one I found on Pinterest. I absolutely love the simplicity and elegance of it. I made 2 versions, one with Whisper White and one with Very Vanilla. I am not sure which one I like better. What do think? They both have a completely different feel to them when you look at them separately.

 

This card base is Whisper White. The back ground stamp is Gorgeous Grunge in: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar (sounds like I'm baking something!). Best of Butterflies: Early Espresso. Express Yourself (greeting retired): Early Espresso. The little flowers are punched (Strawberry Slush) using one from the Itty Bitty Punch pack (retired). I did round the corners of the cards using my wonderful Envlope Punch Board.

 

This card base is Very Vanilla. I used all the same stamps and ink colours (same as above). I just changed the colour of the flower to Marina Mist.

 

So, which one do you like better? They are the same, yet very different! If you have any questions, please send me a message! stampingwithmarsha@gmail.com

Birthday Bookmark!

Hi Everyone! Today, I have for you something really cool! Okay, I think it's cool! A card that has a detachable bookmark! Cool or what? A card with double purpose! Love it!

As you can see, the card is a regular size (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) when closed. Perfect for mailing!

 

The bookmark is detachable, because I used a perforated edge. The bookmark measures 2 inches. That's it with the pretty ribbon attached to the top, folded into the card.

 

Here is the card laid out flat. The inside of the card, where you would sign your name and a little message, is the other side. When laid out flat it measures 5 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches.

 

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

 

Paper: Pear Pizzazz, DSP, Very Vanilla

 

Inks: Black Stazon, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Sky, Crumb Cake

 

Stamp Sets: Bloom with Hope, Perfectly Penned (retiring), Flower on the bookmark is retiring), Gorgeous Grunge

Bookmarks!

Hi Everyone! Today, I have for you some bookmarks. I love homemade gifts, and this one is really easy and simple to do. Plus, I always have a lot of different books on the go, so I need bookmarks! I know, with technology today we have e-readers, but it is nice every once in awhile to open up a book with paper pages. It is also really nice to get something handmade for a gift! :)

Anyway, back to my project, bookmarks! I have 2 different styles for you. One is using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch, and one is multiple layering.

I really like the layering look. Looks very classic to me. For this one I used: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip and Pistachio Pudding for the layers. The stamp sets are: Flower Shop, Petite Petals, Gorgeous Grunge and Work of Art. The inks are: Chocolate Chip and Pistachio Pudding (makes you kinda hungry!)

 

 

For this one I wanted to try the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. I really like the way this one turned out too. I used: Perfect Plum, and Whisper White for the base. The stamp set is: Too Kind. The inks are: Smoky Slate for the splatter, Pistachio Pudding for the stem, Perfect Plum for the flower, and Black Stazon for the greeting.

Thinking of You

Hi Everyone! This is another one that I made for my good friend. I completely CASEd this design. I thought it was just so beautiful! You could use it for a Wedding Card, Bridal Shower, Birthday, Thank You, etc! You can literally pick any colour combination that you choose!

 

The card base is Whisper White, layered with Crumb Cake, then another layer of Whisper White to stamp on. I punched out the flowers using the Petite Petals Punch, then I sponged the edges of the flowers to give them colour. The back ground is stamped using Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, Marina Mist with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. The center of the flowers are punched out using the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (retiring). The ribbon is Crumb Cake, and the greeting is also stamped in Crumb Cake. I used the smallest pearls for the centers of the flowers.

 

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

 

Paper: Whisper White, Crumb Cake

 

Ink: Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight

 

Stamps: Gorgeous Grunge, Express Yourself (retiring)

Wedding Shower 'Thank You' cards

This past Sunday our church had a wedding shower for our youth pastor. We gave money towards a really big gift, but then I had a thought, I should make them 'Thank You' cards! Since they are both really young I knew Gorgeous Grunge would be the prefect base stamp set. Then I chose the rose from the Simple Stems set, to make it a bit feminine. Their colours are navy blue and silver (same as mine were!) Here is what I came up with. I really liked them. I hope they did too!

 

This is how I packaged them. I know, not very exciting. Wish my mom was around, she was a professional gift wrapper.

 

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

 

Paper: Whisper White, Night of Navy

Gorgeous Grunge

Yesterday I got a wonderful package in the mail, it was my order from Stampin' Up! Which means new stamp sets and new ink colours!!! Oh happy day!

Today I have for you a Birthday card. My daughter has a birthday party to go to this weekend, so she requested a "triple time stamping" one, however I had something else in mind! The colours had to be pink and purple, and the little girl who it is going to likes flowers and butterflies. So this is what I came up with. I have 2 samples for you.

 

Which one do you like better? I am leaning towards the one with the butterflies.
