Birthday Cake

Hello friends. Larissa back with you today with a Birthday card I made for a friend of mine. I decided to use the stamp set Let's Eat Cake. 

I started out stamping the slice of cake onto a piece of white card stock and colored it using Copic markers. 

I then stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment under the slice of cake. 

 I used 3 different pattern papers for the card front. I finished off the card with three pink enamel dots. No twine this time. 

I think the colors I used makes it s cheerful birthday greeting.
Hope you enjoyed my post today.
Have a wonderful day friends.

Let's Celebrate

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today using the Celebrate Clear Stamp Set.  This stamp set contains 5 stamps so it's easy to mix and match to create the cards you want.

 

Time to celebrate can be used for many occasions.

Simply stamp the 2 stamps independently and add them to the card.

To add some depth, I adhered Dew Drops to the flower centers as well as the edge of the strip.

 

 

This stamp set can also be used for a number of occasions.
I love mixing pink and gray so I used that color combination to create my next card.

I kept this card simple by using a pattern paper background and coordinating cardstock colors.

Celebrate was added across the center.  Life was stamped separately and added to the lower corner.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Halloween is Here...well Almost!

Hello crafty friends! Pam here today to share one of my first Halloween projects of the season.  Halloween cards and projects are my absolute favorite to create- I love the color combos- oranges, purples and blacks and all the spooky details.

So of course I was so excited to use the Halloween is Here stamp set!

The set includes five stamps and I was able to use three of them for this card. 

For those of you that follow my work- you know I LOVE to create my own backgrounds and rarely use patterned papers.  So this card was no exception; I created a stencil mono print  background on water color paper with a Crafter's Workshop stencil and distress inks.  The stamps were stamped in Archival black ink on paper that was covered with Distress inks and then a layer of Perfect Pearls- to give then some luster !

So stay tuned here to the PWP blog and on my blog for more fun Halloween projects to come!

Pumpkin Spice Latte

Hello friends. Larissa here with you today. So who has already had their Pumpkin Spice Latte? Me Me Me.... One of my favorite drinks of the season. I am so happy they already started selling it. I also have a favorite pumpkin spice coffee I make a home each day so yummy. 

So with that in mind I grabbed my Frothy Concoctions Clear Stamp Set to create a pumpkin spice card. 

I stamped the cup on a piece of white cardstock and colored it using Copic Markers. 

I used: YR04, YR06, YR09

E53, E55

I then cut it out using my detail scissors.
For the holder I stamped a piece of kraft cardstock then scored it. 

I used some Halloween pattern papers for the background and matted each piece with black cardstock. 

           I added each of the sentiments to the top of the card and had wrote Pumpkin Spice.

To finish off the card I wrapped some Halloween twine to the bottom and tied it in a bow.

I hope you enjoyed my card today. Don't forget to come back to see what the fabulous Design Team creates.

the song from beginning to end

Hi everyone! It's Ashley here to share a card.

First, I stamped one of the musical images from the Text Melange stamp set all over my background with Versamark ink and heat embossed it. Then I grabbed one of the distressed stamps from the Art Textures stamp set. I inked it with Faber Castell big brush pens and spritzed it with water before stamping my images. Then I dried the stamped images with my heat gun because I'm impatient :)

Next I used distress inks to blend worn lipstick and spiced marmalade ink colors on a scrap sheet of white paper. I ran this through my die cut machine to die cut the medallion. For my sentiment, which came from the Kind Words cling stamp set, I stamped it on vellum with Staz On ink and then attached it with twine.

 Here's my finished card:

Have you stamped on vellum before? What are some tips you have? Speaking of stamping on vellum, we're giving away a FREE Craftsy class and you only have a few more days to enter!
