DRY EMBOSSING VELLUM

Rita Holmes Facebook VIDEO.

I used colored vellum for my card.

 

COVERED IN FLOWERS ACCENTS

 Another idea from Rita Holmes. This video is on Facebook....I couldn't find it on YouTube.

I was able to mix supplies from various companies to make my Easter cards.  I was so pleased that many of the papers from Echo Park worked with Stampin' Up! card stock colors.

 Thank you for coming by today!

I'm not sure, but I think these four cards were made with papers from an Echo Park 6 x 6 pad.  The cover of the pad was missing.  Really fun designs to work with!

CLEAN AND SIMPLE: CHALLENGE PP777

I just happened to make two of these cards over the weekend and discovered that there is a Clean and Simple Challenge on The Paper Players.  You can't get much more clean and simple that this card which I did with a Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder.  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!.

Thank you for stopping by!

 

RETIRED DAFFODIL AFTERNOON DSP

I continue trying to use up retired dsp.  This is perfect for Easter and this time of year.

USING TRIANGLES

Rita Holms had a video a few weeks ago making a card using triangles.  Her YouTube video can be found HERE.  It is an easy card to make.  I made the second one reversing the placement of the papers.

STAMPIN' UP - Daffodil Afternoon dsp

 

FOUR RELIGIOUS EASTER CARDS

QUILT BLOCK FOR EASTER

Last week I happened to watch a video from Julie Heitz.  She makes a lot of cards using quilt patterns.  They are a lot of fun and I hadn't made one for a while so I thought I would see if I could come up with one for Easter.  The dsp I chose is the retired "Daffodil Afternoon" which is retired from Stampin' Up!

The design is actually done on a 6" x 6" square and then cut apart for 4 cards.  I did quilt one with an embossing folder but actually liked the boldness of the square without it.  That card has not been finished at the time I am scheduling this post but if I get it done, I will add it here as well.

More Echo Park papers.

Thank you for coming by today!

 

These two cards combine the striped pastel paper from Stampin' UP! and little pieces from an Echo Park paper pad.

Thank you for coming by today!

 

These three cards are also part of the 50 for a care center.  The papers are from a Echo Park paper pad.

I used a combination of papers from Echo Park, Stampin' UP! and a third company for the flowered pieces.   These five cards are part of the 50 that are going to Westridge Care Center.  More to follow.

 Thank you for coming by today!

 50 of this design are going to another Care Center.  I was able to put all of the stamps on my MISTI, ink them all at once and stamp them to the 3 3/4"  5" piece of card stock.  (Correction:  The grass was stamped separately.)  I used Copic markers to color the designs.

RELIGIOUS EASTER CARD

I made 50 of these for one of the care centers where I donate cards.  The design is from a Stampendous Impressions set that I have had for a lot of years.

Thank you for coming by today!

 

HAPPY EASTER

As you already know, I follow Rita Holmes.  She has videos on Facebook each Tuesday at 10:00 AM Central Time also Wednesday and Saturday mornings at 10:00 AM.  This card was made after her video on February 21.  It is a fun layout using circles of various sizes.
