Card Set

I created this card set months ago but forgot to post it. I picked up this fabulous bird house stamp while I was in Florida last January at one of many craft store my friend Sue and I stopped into. it's made by Hero Arts called Tall Birdhouse

I wanted to create something different so I took the negative of a punched out circle and used it as a stencil to sponge in various colored SU inks on top of the image. My inks I had matched some old card stock I had pretty perfectly! Trying to use up what I have as I don't need any more cardstock or patterned paper.

For the sentiment sections I used various SU punches and left the field blank to add a sentiment as needed.
This set or individual would make great friend to friend cards, birthday cards, a mother's day card etc. Therefore I left it blank for now.

Poppy Parade Note card

I bought this large stamp while in Florida, it's made by Hero Arts called Tall Birdhouse.

I started with a black base, and then put a layer using an embossed (Cuttlebug) deep pink card stock.

To make the image, I first punched a large circle from a piece of scrap card stock, took SU Poppy Parade ink and gently rubbed ink inside to give it the pink glow.
Glued it to the embossed layer and punched out the fence border which is made my Fiskars.

Stay tune for a different set of cards using this stamp and technique!

There is no one like YOU

Created this card for my daughter, I used the new Sizzix/SU Doily die and cut it from SU card stock. I chosed to not poke out every piece as I wanted to emphasize the border and the inside flower. The embossing is also a Sizzix folder on SU card stock. The sentiment is from Hero Arts punched from a SU oval scallop punch.

Hi There!

Created this card for my son who is away at school so I tried to keep it manly.
The embossing is a Sizzix folder
The sentiment is from Hero Arts - a new set from my daughter for Christmas (entering into Simon Says challenge for new)
The ink is Adirondack - color lettuce

I am entering this in these challenges:

Fabulous Friday at Frosted Designs said no pattern paper - only card stock as wel las Try it on Tuesday - said no design paper - so I embossed

Thinking of you

My daughter gave me some wonderful card making supplies for Christmas, so with one of the stamp sets from Hero Arts, I made this card for her.
She started back at school to work at a co-op job and wish her well. She will be doing a co-op for 6 months as part of her DPT program at the University.

Hello - Any Hero card #3

I really hoped to get 4 cards done - well this is the third one.

It's for the Any Hero cards, where we right a message from home to be given to any hero.

I used the layout from Raise the Bar and entering this card at Penny Black at Allsorts in hopes to be on their design team. The card had to have a PB image and glitzy.

I used a PB image, the work hello is single alphabets stamps from Hero Arts that I have had for 20 years. The flowers are Prima and the prisma paper is by Colorbok. I embossed the base card with the Cuttlebug Stylyzed Flowers embossing folder.
