OFF THE GRID AND OH HELLO THANK YOU CARD

AS DEMONSTRATORS, we get a magazine every other month full of ideas and creativity.  On page 7 of this month's magazine was a card that I knew the moment I saw it I had to do one similar.

The card stock is crumb cake and the inks are crumb cake, old olive and night of navy.  I used OFF THE GRID stamp in the background with the GORGEOUS GRUNGE splatter here and there.

 I chose to use the chevron and outline from OH HELLO stamp set in old olive along the bottom.  I did NOT use the Stamp-a-ma-jig because I wanted it to have the grunge look and therefor not be perfectly lined up.

 From a scrap of designer paper I punched out the elegant butterfly and the small blossom.  I used my baked brown sugar marker to make the dots on them.

The Thanks stamp is from the OH HELLO set and in night of navy, stamped off once first.

That's it.  A fun collage card with grunge AND oh so easy!!

Hope you enjoyed this card.  If you would like to get these magazines at YOUR ADDRESS, contact me about becoming a demonstrator and I will fill you in on how easy peasy it is to sign up and get $125 worth of any product for your kit for the low price of ONLY $99!!  There is no further obligation, but if you decide to purchase more products at other times, you instantly get a minimum of 20% off all that you purchase or that your customers purchase.

DOILY BACKGROUND STAMP MAKES A PRETTY CARD

As demonstrators, we get an ideas magazine every other month.  It gives us suggestions for cards, make and takes for workshops and special ideas.  This card was in our current magazine except I changed it up a bit because of missing product:

 The images are stamped in Gumball Green Ink on Gumball Green cardstock.  The circle in the middle of the main doily is crumb cake with the sentiment stamped in Gumball Green.  The magazine suggested we cut out the middle of the doily with the circles framelits, but I only have the circles die and it wouldn't work.  So I improvided with cutting out the circle in crumb cake card stock and adhering it to the doily.

 This is a close up of the front sentiment from the vintage stamp set "Three Little Words".  I LOVE this set and will continue to use it.  I added the rhinestone jewels myself because I am giving this card to my niece.  She has had a VERY hard year so far.  She lost her husband a few months ago and is still grieving and healing from this horrific loss.  They had only been married for 11 years and were still in the honeymoon phase of their marriage.

 Happy Birthday wishes is from the Simply Sketched stamp set.  I added a crystal button with a rhinestone in the middle for some more bling.

One more look at the Simple but BEAUTIFUL birthday card for my niece.

I never would have chosen green for this card had I not seen it in our magazine.  I really like it and with the crumb cake, it is a very nice color combo.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

RICH RAZZLEBERRY IS SO YUMMY

HERE IS A COLOR I HAVE NOT USED VERY MUCH AT ALL!!  RICH RAZZLEBERRY.  It is a color in between raspberry and purple.  And is yummy.

 Again for my class, we used PLEASANT POPPIES background set.  I think yesterday I called it posies by mistake.  sorry.  Anyways, it is a large stamp but that does NOT mean you have to only use it as a background stamp.  Heck no!!  here I only inked up 3 open flowers and 2 buds and stamped that on whisper white and then used my 2 1/2 circle punch and VOILA - a perfect spotlight on just a few of the poppies.

A closeup of my water colored posies.  I used Rich Razzleberry, Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride and Summer Starfruit markers and my aqua painter to color the flowers.  Sponged R. Razzleberry ink around the edges of the circle.

I used the doilies die for my BIG SHOT.  It has so much detail cut out that it takes a few minutes to pop out all the cuts.  But it is BEAUTIFUL once you have it all ready to go!!  I used some retired DSP for the 3 banners and the one side piece.  It matches so perfectly.  And a taffeta bow of Rich Razzleberry - what else!!

Thanks for stopping by.
