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.

Sunsets!

Hi Everyone! Spring is here! The trees have buds, and the tulips and daffodils are up! So exciting! It means that summer is around the corner, and that means cottage time, which means Sunsets! (we live in the city, so we don't get to see very many sunsets from here). What in the world does that have to do with stamping, well let me tell you!

 

I recreated a sunset using the 'Work of Art and Wetlands" stamp sets. (Oh, I can wait to go to the cottage!). I used Whisper White as my card base, layered with Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, then Whisper White to stamp on. Lately, most of my cards have had multiple layers!

 

First I stamped the 'sky' in Pumpkin Pie (stamped off once), then the 'sun' in So Saffron, followed by the 'water' in Marina Mist, and the 'sand' in Baked Brown Sugar. For the greeting and the birds, I used Black Stazon. I then tied Baker's Twine, 3 times around, with the knot at the front.

 

For this card, I changed the 'sand' colour to crumb cake. I think I like it better. Which one do you like better?

Day 6, Last day of Project Week!

Wow, that was a fast week! How did everyone enjoy the projects that I had for you?

Today I have for you something a little different. It's called "Card in a box". I made 2 versions. I forgot to take a picture of it folded flat. It fits into a standard invitation envelope. Pretty darn cute aren't they!? I know I wouldn't mind receiving one in the mail on my Birthday! I have also seen lots of different ideas out in computer land. Some did the Nativity scene, Valentine's Day, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, just to name a few. They were all so beautiful. I took a few elements from the ones that I liked and put them into my card. That's what I love about paper crafts, so versatile.

 

 

If you would like to know how to make one, or the supplies that I used, please send me a message. Only 2 days left of Sale-A-Bration! You can shop on line 24/7 using the shopping cart button on the right hand side. Thanks for stopping by!

Wetlands

 

The card I have for you today is from the stamp set Wetlands. Another one of my favorites. I love it because it has 3 images and 3 sayings. When you look for a stamp set you want to be able to make lots of cards or other creative projects (tags, scrapbook layouts, etc.) out of one stamp set. This one does just that! Hope you love it as much as I do!

 

The card is made of Marina Mist, matted with Baked Brown Sugar, and matted again with Whisper White. I stamped the with reeds with Baked Brown Sugar and the goose over top with Early Espresso, and the greeting in Marina Mist.

March Break MOJO336

It's March break here in our neck of the woods, (okay, we don't really live in the woods!). Anyway, with March break that means that my kids are home and they need more of my attention and of course I want to give it to them. I am trying to get into my little craft room to bring you something new and exciting, however with the kids and the weather, (which has been great so far, except we are expecting some snow tomorrow though!) it is proving to be more difficult than I thought. However, last night I did manage to get a couple hours of crafting in. Here is what I came up with. It's for Mojo Monday's sketch. Let me know what you think! Thanks for stopping by!
