STAMPIN' UP! Four Feathers #2

Today's card was done using the Stamin' Up! Four Feathers stamp set and SU Coastal Cabana ink and card stock along with Soft Suede and Craft White inks.

I inked up a square acrylic block, spritzed lightly with water and then stamped it on the white card layer using the two colors of ink. This layer was added to the Coastal Cabana mat and then onto the white card base.  The last step was adding the feathers and bow.

Tomorrow is June 1st already!  Thank you for stopping by today!

STAMPIN' UP! - Four Feathers

When I had the Penny Black set out for yesterday's card, I decided to pull out the Stampin' Up! set "Four Feathers".  I was surprised to see that I had some feathers already stamped.  For this card I did stamp the two smaller feathers with Soft Suede ink to add to the larger one already done.  I used the SU Gorgeous Grunge set for the background designs and stamped them in Soft Suede and Tempting Turquoise inks.

PENNY BLACK DIE - Feather and Frames

I've had this set for a while and never used it.  Why did I buy it?  When I went to use it, I wasn't sure why I bought it.  It's harder than I thought it would be to come up with an idea.  

First I embossed a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white card stock and attached it to the white card base.  (I prefer not to have the embossing show on the inside of the card.)  

Next I stamped the design from the Stampin' Up! Serene Silhouettes set and die cut it.  

Then I used black card stock when I cut the larger frame and feather.

It's not one of my favorite cards using feathers but I'm sure I'll find a use for it.  The die set may find it's way to eBay.

GRANDDAUGHTER'S GRADUATION CARD

On May 19 our granddaughter, Allissa, finished her last high school classes.  We celebrated at her Graduation Party the next day.  Pictures of her party were posted here last week. Today we celebrate with her again as she receives her diploma at the Graduation Ceremony.  We're so proud of her and know she has a bright future ahead of her.

We had used black and gold for the decorations since she is going to be an Iowa Hawkeye this Fall, so I followed through with the card I made for us to give her.

Thanks for coming by!

STAMPIN' UP! - Avant

This is such a fun stamp set to use.  This was the first card I made with it using Melon Mambo and Old Olive colors from SU.  

I've been seeing some cards made with stamped lacy borders and I had an old set of Hero Arts stamps that was actually still sealed.  I opened it and used one for a nice addition to this card.  

Memorial Day Weekend is the holiday that should be welcoming Summer.  Weather here has been very cool and rainy and it doesn't sound like it's going to be a nice weekend either. Two evenings this week we sat at softball games for our granddaughters.  Monday night was pretty cool and I didn't have enough layers to keep comfortable. Tuesday night I was triple layered with a Winter coat over my legs and sitting on a blanket to keep the air coming through my lawn chair!  It was time for a cup of hot chocolate when we got home!  I guess that makes us die-hard grandparents.

Thank  you for stopping by today!

CONFIRMATION CARD

One of our granddaughters was Confirmed a few weeks ago.  This is another Tutti design (Cross in the Vine) that "makes the card".

Thanks for coming by today!

TUTTI DESIGNS - Bird Tapestry

A card using this Tutti design needs nothing more added to it.  I saw a card using this and I knew it was one I could use time after time.  The die cut extremely well and was added to the card base.  The next time I use this I may try adding some foam dots around the back of the design to raise the image but not sure if that will work well.  It's a design that is going to be very pretty on many different colors of card bases.
