Hey Lady

 

Inside

Happy 2021! I made this card using a Flap & Closure that I bought last year. Click on the link to find out more. I used The Stamps of Life cardstock, With Love Collection, lovebug2stamp die, and hey lady, have a lovely day stamp from Unity Stamp Company January 2016 Grab Bag. I used ColorFine Black Onyx ink on all stamps. I bought this flap and closure die just before Christmas and just had time to play with it last weekend. I should have chosen a different base color, but it started out as a trial run. I used my Cricut Cuttlebug to cut out all dies- hearts, love bug, and the flaps. I just chose not to use the closure dies. I'm going to mail it out soon for a Valentine swap. Thanks for looking!

Hello Friend

 I made this card for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and to give to a friend. The paper is Ginger Snap from The Stamps of Life. The embossing folder, stamped image, sentiment, and background for sentiment is all from Sizzix Tim Holtz Coffee Time embossing folder, stamps, and die set. I stamped the image and sentiment with Versa Fine Black Onyx pigment ink and then colored the image with ColorIn twist Water Color Pencils. The purple paper behind the sentiment is also from The Stamps of Life. The 3 bling dots are from Basic Grey, most likely not sold anymore. I was gifted the set a few years back. I distressed the top and right side of the card with Tim Holtz Ranger Oxide Tea Dye, Speckled Egg, and Twisted Citron. This is a true Tim Holtz product based card! TFL!

You Warm My Heart

 

I made this card following the above sketch- CTS 391- from CAS(E) this Sketch! The card base is paper from The Stamps of Life, the heart die cut is from the same paper as card base is from  Stampin' Up Beautiful Layers dies, the stamped image and sentiment are from Unity Stamp Company Winter Girl stamp set stamped with Versafine Onyx Black pigment ink on paper from The Stamps of Life, and the patterned paper is from Recollections Home Basics 6x6 paper pad. I used Color In water colored pencils to color in the stamped image. The bling is from Lincraft Scrapbooking Silver Crystal Stickers. TFL!

Thankful To Call You Friend

 

I made the following card using the sketch above from Freshly Made Sketches. The red cardstock/card base is from The Stamps of Life as is the brad on the tag, and the bling. The stamps are from Unity Stamp Company Carlee's Christmas- the sentiment, image, and inside text- and stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink. The holly paper/patterned paper, the tag, and the paper under the sentiment are from Doodlebug Design Inc Christmas Magic 6"x6" paper pad. I colored in the image with various colors of Marvy Uchida Color In Watercolor Twist colored pencils. I adhered the tag down not only with a brad, but also with Aleene's Instant Tacky Line Runner and used it on everything else except the sentiment and the paper on the tag. I used my Xyron 150 CreateASticker maker to add the paper to the tag and the sentiment to the top of the tag.
