Scented Cherry Card

This card was created for my last technique class. The technique used here was scratch and sniff. If you scratch the cherries they actually smell like cherries! How cool is that? You use a mix of embossing powder and Kool-aid to get this effect. Want to learn cool techniques like this? Contact me to sign up for my next technique class!

For the rest of the card I used some other fun stuff including the new Lace Ribbon Border punch and the designer frames embossing folder. To make the cute little tag I just punched out a curly label punch and tucked it behind the main image. The "friends" word is from the Tiny Tags Stamp set.

stamps: Fruit & Flowers, Tiny Tags
ink: Lucky Limeade, Riding Hood Red, crumb cake
paper: whisper white, early espresso, crumb cake, Riding Hood Red
other: bakers twine, Designer frame embossing folder, big shot, Lace Ribbon border punch

Berry Cute Matchbox

Hello there! Today I'm sharing a cute little matchbox made using the Berry Blossoms Designer series paper. This paper is Amazing! It's so cute and summery… I just love it. If you love paper, make sure to place your order before the end of the month since all the designer papers are buy three get one free! What a deal! Check out the details here.

For this cute little box, I simply cut the box out using the XL Matchbox big shot die and folded it up. This die is really simple to use. The bottom doesn't even need any adhesive! I finished the box off by stamping the strawberry from the Fruit & Flowers stamp set on a piece of white that was also cut out with the XL matchbox die. On top of that I stamped the word "friends" from the Tiny Tags stamp set. I tied a piece of ruffled ribbon around the box and then added the tag using a piece of bakers twine. Then, of course, put candy inside!

stamps: Fruit & Flowers, Tiny Tags
ink: calypso coral, Lucky Limeade, whisper white
paper: calypso coral, Berry Blossoms Designer paper
other: bakers twine, Lucky Limeade ruffled ribbon, bakers twine, XL matchbox die, big shot, candy

Friendship flower

I did a few Glossy Watercolor flowers a while ago and realized I never posted this one. Here are
the other two I posted here and here. For this card I created the little rose from the Growing Green Stamp set in the glossy watercolor technique and added it on top of a piece of white cardstock stamped with the leafy branches from the same set. I added a tag using the tiny tags set and the jewelry tag punch.
I love the way the colors turned out on this card! I used Crumb cake and early espresso and some paper from the Woodland Walk designer paper pack.

stamps:Growing Green, Tiny Tags
ink: early espresso, garden green
paper: whisper white, crumb cake, early espresso, Woodland Walk designer paper
other: re-inkers, aquapainter, embossing powder

Colored Embossing Powder!

I am loving the colored embossing powder in the summer mini catalog! Here I used Melon Mambo for the Flower and Wild Wasabi for the stem/leaves. It makes a really striking card. To balance the bright colors I used some soft suede for the background layer, stamping flowers from the fabulous florets set on it.

I also used a little "thanks so much" from the Tiny Tags set and punched it out with the Tag punch and attached it on with some bakers twine! Isn't it pretty? You can see the tag better in this photo:

stamps: Fabulous Florets, Tiny Tags
ink: soft suede, versamark
paper: wild wasabi, whisper white, melon mambo
other: crumb cake seam binding ribbon, bakers twine, jewelry tag punch, wild wasabi and melon mambo embossing powder, scallop ribbon border punch

Blissful Candle

I wanted to make a candle for my friend for her birthday and she loves vintage french-inspired decor so I combined the french scrip from the french foliage set and the flourish from Bliss to make this candle. What do you think? I was happy with how it turned out! I wrapped with with a piece of crumb cake seam binding ribbon and then placed it in a cello bag which I tied with some retired riding hood red striped ribbon.

Here's the top:
I added a couple little tags from the tiny tags set, punched out with the jewelry tag punch. I added these on with some linen thread.

stamps:Bliss, French foliage
ink: riding hood red, early espresso, very vanilla
paper: crumb cake, riding hood red
other: candle, linen thread, striped grosgrain ribbon, jewelry tag punch, cello bag

Dryer sheet hello

Here's another card similar to the one we made in my class. I think this shows how you can easily adapt a technique and make a similar card using a different stamp set! For this card I used the set Awash with Flowers but used the same technique and color palette as the previous post. I also used my new jewelry tag punch to add a cute little "hello" stamped from the set Tiny Tags. I attached the tag with a piece of crochet thread.

Here's a close up:

stamps:Awash with Flowers, Tiny Tags
ink: regal rose, so saffron, pear pizzaz
paper:regal rose, so saffron, pear pizzaz, whisper white
other:dryer sheet, glitter, glue stick, jewelry tag punch, pretty in pink grosgrain ribbon, square lattice embossing folder, big shot
