Amazing You & Last Days of Sale-a-bration

Recently I was visiting my mom and noticed this beautiful card she made.  I think it's pretty much the way she made it.  I didn't think to ask where she got the idea, and she is always looking for ideas.  For about 10 years my mom has been doing a card class every week at one of her local retirement homes.  With 10-15 people at each class she makes a lot of cards! 

Using a Blushing Bride panel I embossed using the floral folder from Petal Pair Embossing Folder.  I cut a scalloped circle using the Layering Circles Framelits Dies on Basic Black card stock, and a Whisper White circle using the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  I also cut the word "amazing" from Basic Black card stock using the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies.  These dies are a FREE Sale-a-bration choice with a product purchase of $100.  

The stamped images are from the Sale-a-bration set Amazing You which is available for FREE with a $50 product purchase. I stamped the flower on the Whisper White circle using Basic Black.  I colored it a bit with the Blushing Bride Stampin' Write Marker.  But you could add color with an Aqua Painter or a Blender Pen. I stamped the words "you" and "are simply" in Basic Black as well. The circles are mounted using Stampin' Dimensionals.

You can find the supplies to make this card in my online store where you can shop 24/7.  There are just two days left to take advantage of the Sale-a-bration free sets!  You get to choose one of the free sets with every $50 in product you order, but only through March 31.  Use the March host code 4DMU3VGF when placing your order.  If your order is $150 or more you qualify for host benefits and do not need to use the code.

Tree Rings Birthday Card

Cards for guys are not always the easiest for me but the Tree Rings Background inspired me to create a simple card highlighting the stamp.

I used the two largest circles from the Layering Circle Framelits to create the Basic Black Card Stock ring which I placed over a circle of Vellum.  I stamped the greeting in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The greeting is from a wonderful masculine set, Guy Greetings.  I love that it comes in traditional red rubber and wood, clear mount and photopolymer!

I stamped the image in Early Espresso Ink onto Very Vanilla Card Stock and used Soft Suede Ink and a Sponge Dauber to add some color to some of the rings

You will have so much fun with this background!  Order all the supplies from my online store.  Be sure to use my August Host Code, MPKNGB22, when you place your order.  If you order $150 or more you need not use the code as you qualify for free product!

Feeling Tip Top Taupe!

Okay, you might know that I love neutrals so I jumped at the chance to participate in a Tip Top Taupe & Whisper White Color Challenge. I cannot explain my love of a neutral combo but it makes me happy!

The card stock base is Tip Top Taupe cut 4 1/4" x 8 1/2". Add a Whisper White layer.  On top of that use the Sunburst Thinlits Die cut from Tip Top Taupe.

I used my Clear Wink of Stella on one edge the "bursts" to add some contrast and shimmer. Using the Badges and Banners stamp I stamped the banner and the No 1 circle image in Tip Taupe Taupe ink.  The banner image was stamped off once.  Both images were punched out.  I used the Best Badge and the 1 3/8" Circle punches and layered the circle image onto a Whisper White circle cut from the Layering Circles Framelits.  The Badges and Banners is available along with the Best Badge punch as a Bundle and you save 10%!  Such a deal.

Adhere the punched badge then use Dimensionals to add the circle.  I tucked some Silver Metallic Thread behind the badge and added a few Rhinestones to finish it off.

Not too fussy so I think this would work great for guys!

Don't forget that there is only about a week left for Sale-a-bration, when you get free product with every $50 purchase.  Shop online and be sure to use my March Host Code P2EUH6EX when ordering.  When your order is $150 or more you do not need the host code.
