You Are Sunlight to My Heart card

Happy New Year's Eve!  Kathy Jo here to share a bright and cheerful card to end the new year and start another.  The card is using the ever so sweet You Are Sunlight to My Heart Stamp:
You are Sunlight
Doesn't that sentiment warm your heart?  It is a perfect stamp to bring sunshine to a friend or family member during the cold winter months.  Hopefully this card will brighten up a desk or table top.  :)

Instructions: The ivory tent fold card was die cut using the largest die from Spellbinders Victorian Medallion Three.  Next, gold paper was die cut using the largest and second largest die from the same set.  More ivory card stock was die cut using Spellbinders Royal Circle.  Distress inks in Dried Marigold, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry was applied along the edge.  You are sunlight to my heart was heat embossed in black, die cut using Spellbinders Circles die, and Dried Marigold was applied. The finishing touches were seam binding, pearls, and flowers.
Thanks so much for stopping by!  I do hope you all have a great New Year's Eve! 
Hugs,
Kathy Jo

Give Thanks For A Little

 
 
 
 
 


Hello Everyone, Terre Fry here with an easy but elegant card! This is one of my favorite stamps from Quietfire Design, "Give Thanks For A Little". I die cut pattern paper as a background piece using Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles. I stamped my Give Thanks For A Little sentiment on white cardstock using Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink. To secure all my die cut pieces I used Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry and 3L Foam Squares. I coordinated my pattern paper with a cream and black ribbon from May Arts Ribbon. To tie it all together and add that little pop, I used Want2Scrap 72 Count Black Rhinestone bling.
 
I hope I have inspired you today to create your very own simple yet elegant card, crafty smiles, Terre.

One of my favorite stamps

Hi Everyone it's Teresa here today on this wonderful and jolly day after Christmas
or Boxing Day if you live in England.  It's almost the end of the year and a lot
 of people i know like to post about their favorite things of the year so today my post
is about one of my favorite  stamp sets.  It's called Happy Family Days and the set comes
 with a frame and 4 different sentiments to put into it.  So you know that you can get
alot of use from this one.  It's really beautiful.


I used the frame stamp and used a matching aqua ink to stamp it 
with and then stamped the Happy Birthday stamp in the center with
black ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then i hand 
cut out the design and glued it to layers of ivory and aqua papers using
the Spellbinders Labels One die and the coordinating Scalloped
Labels one that fits perfect with the other.  For the paper i used
bright fun colors of aquas, ivory and oranges and finished it
with a simple bow and matching roses that i had in my stash.


Thank you so much for stopping over and hope
you have a really nice day!!

Easel eCut Snowflakes - Good Friends are Like Snowflakes

Yogi here today with a snowflake card. Love the eCut files from Suzanne and I love easel cards...

card closed
Folded my white cardstock in half and used my EK Success circle scissors to cut a 5" diameter circle from both layers at once, cutting it shy of the top fold. Folded the top circle in half to create the easel.

Cut another circle the same size. Stamped the fir trees (Impression Obsession CAC "Pine Trees") inking with various Distress greens and black, misting with water, then stamping. Adhered circle to easel front.

ecut the snowflakes from white cardstock. While on the mat, hit with Distress "Tumbled Glass", removed from mat. Stamped the Italic Alphabet (double stroke Capitals set for the "J" & "O", regular set for the "Y") using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossing. Then applied Versamark into the star area only and clear embossed again. Used a Quickie glue pen on the prongs and sprinkled with Stampendous "Crystal Snow" glitter. Adhered the snowflakes to the card front. Added mini red rhinestones on the center snowflake.

On the floor, I sponged "Worn Lipstick" all over. Adhered a piece of stain ribbon and a piece of rickrack red glitter ribbon to the floor.

detail
Stamped the quote "Good Friends are like Snowflakes" on white cardstock, die cut with Spellbinders oval die set, sponged a bit of the red around the edges. adhered to floor with 3D foam tape. Added a few white pearl flourishes.

The pine trees are a die cut from my stash (sorry don't know from where...) sponged with greens. I added a small easel on the back to make the trees stay upright and adhered to floor.
