MONDAY AND TUESDAY CARDS

YESTERDAY'S CARD

I really slipped up and forgot to schedule the card I had reserved for August 9..........our youngest grandchild's birthday!  At least I know she got it on time.  Taryn turned 14 yesterday and is now eligible to get a driver's permit!!!!!  YIKES.........where have the years gone?

Lisa Curcio gave a video making a card very similar to this using the ice cream designer paper from the current Stampin' Up! catalog.  The video was probably a couple of months ago but I made this up at that time and put it aside for Taryn since she has a summer birthday.  I'm trying really hard to make different style of cards for the grandkids.  She called us last night and said she loved it.  Of course I think she also loved the check inside just as much if not more.  

Closed

First opening

All the way open

Taryn told us she had a really good time at the swimming pool with friends and then a trip to the "Dairy Barn" afterwards so I guess the ice cream cones on here were very fitting.

TODAY'S CARD

This is a very simple card using a Penny Black sticker that has been on my craft table way too long.  It was time to either get it on a card or toss it.  

Thank you for coming by today!  I'll try to get the rest of the cards scheduled to pop up for the rest of the week.

STAMPIN' UP! - Berry Delightful DSP

Typically I don't post on the weekends.  Lately I have been doing that sometimes because I have so many cards made up right now that I have enough to schedule through September.

The card above and the four below were cards made after watching a video.  I'm pretty sure it was a video from Sharon Armstrong, a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  On an earlier blog I posted cards that I made with my friends and were made using these same shapes but different papers.  The main idea was to use one piece of 6 x 6 designer paper that has a complimentary design on the reverse side.

For this one, I inked up the leaf, stamped it and then stamped it two more times without reinking it.

Once again I used the leaf outline but then filled it in with the solid stamp.  The same with the berries.

 Thank you for stopping by today!

STAMPIN' UP! - Fine Art Floral designer series paper

This is a CASE of a card that I saw but this time I believe it was on a video.  It's a really different layout for me to use but I kind of like it.  The thank you sentiment was my change to the card and maybe even the little twist of ribbon behind it.  

Thank you for stopping by today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FRIEND, SHERYL

Today I'm actually posting two cards.  The first one is one I sent to my friend, Sheryl.  We met when I was in Junior High at church camp.  We're many miles apart but still try to stay in touch.  I always remember that August 5th is her birthday.

Originally I had made this card and thought I'd send it to Sheryl, but I really like the one above better.  The one below is a CASE of one I spotted on Pinterest.   

Thank you for coming by today!

 

STAMPIN' UP! - Sand and Sea Designer Series Paper

 I had decided not to order the bundle of the stamps and dies, but I really loved the colors on this pack of designer papers.  The reverse sides of these patterns are such pretty pieces as well.  This pattern in the package is my favorite.  I used the Painted Texture embossing folder that I used on the Seaside Spray card stock for the matting.

Thank you for coming back today!

STAMPIN' UP! - Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper

 This is a CASE of a card I found on Pinterest.  I love this paper so much that I ordered a second package of it.

Thank you for coming by today!

TWO WAYS TO USE THE SAME DIE

 For this card, I used the entire die cut piece.  The card stock is Stampin' Up! Tempting Turquoise.

This consists of two dies.  I used the two dies but only a part of the overall designs.  I really like this card the best.

Thank you for stopping by today!
