Linear Sentiments Birthday Card

I made this card for my cousin Jeannie. Hopefully she won't see this blog entry before she gets the original! I used the new Linear Sentiments T-2956 stamp set from the Fall Inspiration Book. It's so versatile. I stamped and embossed the sentiment and flower lines on the striped pattern paper from TAC's Designer paper collection- Brighten My Day. The stamps fit perfectly in between the lines. I stamped and embossed the flowers, cut them out and staggered them on top for some pop. I curled the petals out with my fingers to give it dimension. I used Transcendence Embossing powder for all the embossing. I love this powder. It's sticks to Palette Inks perfectly and really highlights the details of the images.

One thing I wanted to point out is that you probably notice the happy birthday line doesn't exactly match up on one end. This is totally ok- this is a handmade card! I think it gives it character. Don't be afraid of less than perfect when you are creating.. what matters is that you create!

Have a great day!

Another Goo Gone Blending Card

Here is another card featuring The Arts stamps set with the Goo Gone Prisma Colored pencil technique. I always try to use at least three colors when doing this- dark, medium and light- to get the best blending results. The colors don't have to be in the same family- they just need to compliment each other. It's really fun seeing how colors blend. Give it a try!

Supplies are basically the same as above only I used TAC Brighten My Day Paper. Love it!

GooGone Blending and the Arts

I love Heather Scott! She has a fabulous blog that I visit often for inspiration and ideas... I have her to thank for today's card featuring the Goo Gone Prisma Colored Pencil blending technique that I found here Scroll down to the May 14th entry for the tutorial. Basically all you do is color with your Prisma Colored Pencils and then with a blending stump dipped in Goo Gone you blend the colors and the lines away. It is so easy and looks so good! I am totally addicted to this technique and am coloring all the time. I love the vibrant colors of the Prisma Pencils.

Dress Card

Hi Everyone!
A friend asked me to create a cute card for her granddaughter's first birthday. I knew I wanted to make a dress card but didn't have a template. I went searching the blogsphere and found this adorable card.
Traced it back to the pattern here.
I had to enlarge the pattern 200% and that worked perfectly. I love the way it turned out and plan to make more for sure! Hope you like it!


Supplies used: Paper - Bazzill, My Mind's Eye, ribbon, mini buttons, stickles and shimmer chalk for the outlines.
