Country Flowers- Sending Love

4/22/2024 Monday

Wow, already and the weekend is over, hope you had a great weekend and ready for one more Country Flower card today. I posted this or set it while doing the others from last week. 

This one, I just wanted to be a little different. I used Smoky Slate and Lemon Lolly (one of my favorite colors). I used a strip of DSP and a strip of C/S and I wanted space to show of the new Smoky Slate pearls. What do you think of this one?

Thanks for stoping by. 

Captain Mike.......

Yep! that's right , his name is Mike but he's the Captain. Also my Brother in law. He had back surgery and having a rough go but mending. We sadly are missing Scallop season this YEAR!!! i['m bummed, but also totally understand. 

So this card is a case, tweak from a lady named Kim, I think her site name is studio 54??? But she did a card very much like this one a while back and I really liked it and knew it would work for the Captain! 

So I actually got an email from her saying how she got the idea from a catalog and she sent me a photo. I coped/printed and used that as a pattern to make the fish with a little tweaking on my part to fit etc. then just added strips of cardstock and then trimmed ran through an embossing folder gunked (ha is that a word?) up with a little ink to give a little more. Added a button eye! I had a piece of burlap ribbon I cut and pulled pieces from it then mounted the FISH! 

Enjoy!

Well dang! My Bad

So sorry, I thought I had Monday and Tuesday preset, look here I didn't!!! Crap on a cracker, So sorry.....

So we will do a double dip here and give you  2 days in one post. 

First card was an inspiration card from my friend Lisa she use this layout on a different card and a technique. Me, I just did ink to paper an used her lay out for a cute fun GET WELL CARD. I'm not sure why but I only have one photo of this card. 

Colors and Bermuda Bay and Pool Party for layer. Stamp set is Tasteful Touches, new starting Wednesday!! it's also my card kit for this month, this is NOT one of the cards for kit.. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Base card: 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"

Layer: Pool Party 4"x 5 1/4"

Layer to stamp: 3 3/4" x 5" This is the piece you will cut to piece together on the pool party layer. first cute long ways top to bottom at 1 1/2" 

Then first piece cut at 1 3/4" this leaves you with 2 pieces 1 1/2" x 1 3/4" and 1 1/2" x 3 1/2" this is left side of front on card.

Second piece you will cut it at  1 3/4" leaving you 2  pieces, sizes  1 3/4" x 2 1/4" , 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" 

Verbiage pieces:  This piece (s) are on dimensionals 

Whisper White 2" x 2"

Pool Party Layer 2 1/8"  x 2 1/8" 

Bermuda Bay Layer  2 1/4" x 2 1/4"

 

Next card is same stamp set different stamp. I used the feather stamp and tried a different thing since we didn't have the in-colors but then got a spot in the PP this month with Midnight  I decided to stamp it in Versa Mark first then the Midnight and emboss with clear powder. Not sure why but it looks almost like dark brown or even blackish..

But you can see here what I did.. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry second photo is so dark, bad lighting. 

DSP is 1" x 5 1/2", Midnight piece is 2" x  5 1/2" and I also used the same stamp set for words of sending you healing hugs Healing Hugs 148223

I also stamped feathers on midnight with versa mark for a little lighter look. 

Matching ribbon and your done. The feathers were cut out by hand. Fussy Cutting. 

Alright that brings you up to Speed so to speak or up to day with posting. Hope you enjoy them. 

Tomorrow I'm sharing one more card from same set featured this month, but not one of the cards in kit. 

Turtle Time!

A cute little get well card that I think everyone will like . Simple Stamping, right here and quick cards to be reproduced to have on hand for when you need them. Also a great use for DSP scraps.  We used blends to color in the turtle and the ink is Early Expresso... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry photo sucks... Shadow over it doesn't help...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay that's it for this week. Wow it's been a rough one for me health wise too much stress maybe, but my stomach has been giving me a run for my money this week. Hope you have a great weekend and see you on Monday!!! 

Get Well Wishes

Cute card here today with new coming soon, best dressed DSP.. I used Healing Hugs for this card and it's a cutie... Starburst punch and you put in as far at it will go them punch it... 

I've made this card years ago as a Christmas card... 

The cardstock on back and the DSP on front are same size and same scores... just the way you fold it is different.. It will fold flat to get in an envelope to mail. 

base 5 1/2"X 4 1/4" 

Score at 1/2" and 1" on both ends... OR score at 1/2", 1", 4 1/2", 5"   Which ever is easier for you... 

Same Best Dressed DSP again like yesterday and starburst to make the hole to peek through for message... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see in photos I used the leaves from the healing hugs to stamp and re-stamp to make a pattern on the cardstock them punch the leaf punch out to put behind the flower on front. I also stamp random inside around the GET WELL SOON.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Final photo here shows it folded down so it can go in an envelope... Okay that's it for Thursday, hope you enjoyed it any questions just ask me... Thanks for stopping by.

Brick and Mortar

 McFly! How do you get his stupid embossing folder to work??? I'm out of the loop.... LMAO!!! 

Hello all, that was my conversation, with my dear friend! Ha Ha, I actually got it to work another way, but I'm not sharing that..  No I will it's too funny, seasoned stamper her 19 Years this October with SU! Anyways, this folder is a NEW 3D folder and you need the embossing plate thingy... I didn't have it, it's since been ordered. 

I actually tried shimming it, with both plates, nothing was working. hmmm what do you do? So I pulled out my OLD platform with the tabs! Yes, I still have it, but never use it. But it did the trick, on tab 2..... So it worked, but I am getting with the program and getting my new plate, actually it probably arrived yesterday, but this post was done before my mini vacation, so I didn't stress about getting it done when I got back. 

And a little history, I LOVE to COLOR so sometimes, I color some images with no thought of what I will make with it till that time comes, this is one of those times, just like the little cow card for Katelyn, I had colored the purple posy cow before, but it worked great for her card.  This cow, I was trying for a darker cow, with fun colors added, that's where the Yellow Wellies and the Rococo Flower come in, I tried I will admit yellow Brick first, but it  was a bit much...  It dragged your EYE to the YELLOW too much! 

So this is the final card... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can you see the little snippet of Matching Rococo DSP inside the corner there, it's a strip along the bottom... As usual I colored with the blends..... Yeppers! I know surprised aren't you!? Not!!! Well that's a wrap for another week, I can't believe it's the 9th already...  Okay I'm setting Monday to give me a little breathing room, in case I'm to busy this weekend. 

See you soon....
