Sympathy Card

I found a tutorial on Youtube  for this card here.  Loved it so much I used it for a sympathy card.  A family friend passed away and I wanted to make something special for them.  Basicgreys Green at  Heart Line was used along with Spellbinders Labels 18 and Marthas border punch.

Make a Wish Card

This card and one almost just like it (different ribbon) was made for my 2 nephews who just had birthdays!  I'm really loving this kraft paper for cards and layouts!  Starting cards are somewhat of a dilema for me - I usually end up picking one thing I want to play with and go from there - with no real plan in mind.  This time, it was the cupcake stamps and copic markers. {I've starting buying the sketch markers to use with - wait for it - the airbrush system that uses copic markers for ink}  It's on my wish list as practically "a need"  ha ha

I used one of those clever lever to punch out the stamped image and then spellbinders nestabilities for the larger scalloped circle.  Martha and her wonderful punches helped pretty this card up.  I punched the border and used my trimmer to make the width 3/4 inch.  This gave me room for my super skinny rickrack and stamped sentiment. Both circles fit on a 3 1/2 inch square and all of this was inked with colorbox ink.   A little touch of crystal stickles for the sprinkles and dots beside the sentiment finishes it off.

Another layered card

The ribbon on this layered card and on the previous post is something I picked up at the Fabric Store.  They had packages of various ribbon bundled up for only $2.  Hancock Fabric Warehouse was the store.

The image was stamped twice, once on dotted swiss with black ink and once on white cardstock with colorbox chalk green ink.  Using my cutterbee scissors I trimmed just the inner circle and glued it on top of the dotted swiss.  Lime Green Stickles help hide the black ink below.

Again, I used cuttlebug embossing folders with colorbox chalk ink rubbed over the embossing.

The scalloped circles are Spellbinders Nestabilities with some pop dots for more dimension.
