Today I will share you with the fourth and final card we made in our card class this month. I think it turned out so pretty and it's my favorite! I wasn't sure what design to go with for the last card but since the other cards were a little more detailed I decided to go with a CAS (clean and simple) card and I'm so glad I did! Take a look:
The base is Premium White Cardstock, layered with black cardstock, then another piece of the white. The sentiment is from Trendy Greetings and is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The scalloped squares are Marvy Clever Lever punches and I added doodle dots with my Black Tombow marker and my white gel pen. The stamp is a purchase with purchase stamp which was embossed with black embossing powder after being stamped with Versamark. We used an embossing buddy to keep the stray powder away. We heat set it with the embossing heat tool and I absolutely love it! The final shimmer was added when we traced the sentiment with the Stardust Clear Gel Pen. That pen is fantastic... a definite must-have!
Thanks for hanging out with me today! I hope you were inspired to stamp today! Have a great one!
Angel Hugs,
The cardstock is Birch (V-227) from The Angel Company. It is time to reorder; I am out and I absolutely love this cardstock! The sentiment is a Purchase With Purchase stamp called Thank You Oval (TW-3358). You can buy this stamp for only $2.95 with any $30 purchase! I used my Palette Hybrid ink in French Lilac (TT-202). The green designer paper and plaid designer paper is from the Toodle Loo Soar With It Collection (V-834). I outlined the oval and flourishes with my Stardust Clear Gelly Pen (F-464). Come back tomorrow to see another card!
And when you open it up:
I had a request for some fun folds and I think this definitely works for that! The cardstock and designer paper is all brand new from The Angel Company. It is brand new and double-sided! I love it! Want some? It's called Emma (V-856) and it is 12x12. The coordinating cardstock for Emma is (B-326). The designer paper comes with double sided tags, as well and they are so pretty! The sentiment on the front is from the stamp set called Be Still (T-2890). The sentiment is on Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 1 dies (K-300) using the Wizard (K-308). Love it! You know you can get the Wizard for your half-price item with any order of $100 before tax and shipping! Love that!! Plus you would get a Level A Hostess stamp set of your choice! I added some sparkle and shine to the word "Beauty" with my Stardust Clear Gelly Pen (F-464). Such a wonderful way to add some shimmer without the mess of glitter and glue!
Here I am with my little leprochaun Javan! He insisted we call him Coach today! He's got basketball on the brain since he's been watching his sister play Upward Basketball. It's over now but he will continue to think about it and talk about it for a while!
Here's my two favorite guys! Aren't they cute in their St. Patrick's Day shirts? Javan let me know, "You t'ant pinch me tuz I am wearing gween!" That happens to be his favorite color, too!
This little pouch is one I shared before. I just love that cute Tilda sitting on the cloud! I stuffed it full of Jumbo Paper Clip Bookmarks for Kadesia to pass out to her classmates and teachers. I love using The Angel Company's Willoughby designer paper for St. Patrick's Day. It is perfect!
Here's a close-up of the binder notepad holder I made her. The chipboard measures 4" x 4" and is covered on both sides with Willoughby paper. The binder clip and ink pen also have the same paper to match. The sheets are loose so she can refill it with scrap papers, a sticky note pad or whatever she'd like!
This card was made using the Trendy Greetings stamp set from The Angel Company. This is a MUST HAVE stamp set for all - occasion cards and projects. There's a stamp for various holidays and themes in this set! The clover is from the Purchase With Purchase stamp set called Fancy Suits and it's only $2.95 with any $30 purchase! I used Jardin Moss to ink it up. The edges were sponged with Cognac and Burnt Umber. We are making a Suspension Card similar to this in our card class on Monday!
June wanted everyone to make a scrapbook page at her FunShop so that is what we did. She chose a birthday theme and it was a lot of fun to create this for them! I used a sketch I found in one of my scrapbooking magazines. It is a very simple design but I like to keep the focus on the photos and journaling. The balloons were punched out of the designer paper with my Super Jumbo Scalloped Punch and popped up with dimensionals. The strings were created with Scrapper's Floss. There's enough room for a 4"x6" photo and a 3¾" x 5¾" photo.
Here's a close-up of the journaling box. We used Tag Tidbits and Squiggle Ladybugs for the journal box "border" using "giggle," "joy," "laugh," and "happy birthday." All the inks are Palette Hybrid: French Lilac, Bordeaux, Starr Night, and Jardin Moss.
Here's a close-up of the card I made. I used the Scor-Bug for a fun decorative effect.
The designer paper is from The Angel Company. The tag is from the same paper set called Penelope. The "thank you" sentiment is a PWP stamp set called Lotsa' Love and I used French Lilac Palette Hybrid Ink which matches the card so well.
Here you can see the Stardust Clear Gelly Pen outlining the sentiment. I love the shimmery effect it has!
Kadesia really enjoyed herself:
She got to use up all the leftover make 'n take kits to create some Valentine's for her class. Her party is next month so she got a head start and I think she was able to make about half of the amount she needs! She's a little worker bee with the Scor-Pal and the kits!
She was a complete angel for me all day! Even though she had to get up early on a Saturday and be up really late. She was helpful and pleasant all day! I am so proud of her! She even demonstrated the make 'n take project for a couple of the ladies.
I would have been able to share these photos today but I had computer issues and finally got that all resolved this evening. That means I wasn't able to participate in the first Angel Blog Hop of this year!! I still want to show you what I made and share the links of the other Angels with you! Be sure you check out all their amazing Valentine's Day Treats creations. We were going to share Valentine's Day themed projects like treat holders, recipe cards, scrapbook layouts, cards, altered art and home decor items to inspire you all to make a sweet treat for someone you love! I made a 2, 4, 6, 8 box from a piece of Miss Moxie designer paper from The Angel Company. I used a tag from the Miss Moxie dp and stamped it with the "Forget Me Not" sentiment from the Squiggle Ladybugs stamp set. I used Noir Palette Hybrid ink. Hope you like it!
I used the tutorial from Jen Young. It would make an adorable party favor, don't you think? Here are the links to even more inspiring projects:
