Happy Birthday

 

I began this 4 1/2" square card by cutting the yellow panel at 4 1/4" square. Then, I cut the floral squares and used double-sided tape to adhere them. Next, I die cut the sentiment and the circle that goes behind it. I glued the two together. I used double-sided foam tape to adhere it to the card front.

I began this A2-sized card by stamping the balloons on a scrap of white card stock using Brilliance Ink. Brilliance shimmers in the light. I cut them out with a die and glued the two on the ends to the card base. I used double-sided foam tape to lift the middle one up. I drew a line from each with a pencil. Then, I die cut the sentiment and glued it to the card base.

 I began this A2-sized card by stamping bubbles all over the front using Brilliance ink in three different colors. Brilliance gives a shimmery effect in the light. Then, I die cut the sentiment and glued it down.

Life is Wonderful

This entry is a two-fer. The cards are so much alike that I feel putting them together is the right thing to do for the challenges.

I began this set of cards by die cutting 3 circles each. Then, I glued them, one on top of the other making sure that they were placed close to the edge. After they were dry, I cut them in half and switched out one piece of each set. Next, I glued them to a white A2 card base in the configuration above. Finally, I stamped the sentiment (Stampers Anonymous) using Versafine Onyx on pink card stock using my MISTI to make sure it was straight. I cut the sentiment down using my paper trimmer and glued them to the width of the cards.

Love

 I began this A2-sized card by stenciling the top layer using the following Distress Oxide inks: broken china, squeezed lemonade and picked raspberry. Then, I mounted it on a turquoise card stock, then on an orange card stock and finally on a white card base. Next, I die cut the sentiment and glued it to the top layer. Finally, I added a few turquoise sequins.

Laugh

 I began this A2-sized card by stenciling the top layer. I stenciled one way using Distress Oxide ink in broken china, then I turned it around and stenciled the same design using twisted citron. Next, I cut it down and mounted it on turquoise card stock, mounted that on a green card stock and mounted that on a white card base. After that, I die cut the sentiment and glued it to the top layer. Finally, I finished it off with gluing a few turquoise sequins in the left hand corner.

Silhouette Cardinal

I began this A2-sized card with a white card base. I added the plaid and rust-colored panels. Then, I die cut the cardinal out of black card stock and glued it to the top panel. The cardinal die cut is new, and I haven't used it until now. It was a freebie from Simon Says Stamp with a purchase of a Tim Holtz product.

Hello

This is an A2-sized card. I used two black and white designs and glued them to a white card base. I die cut the sentiment and also glued it to the card base.

Happy New Year

I began this A2-sized card with a light blue base. Then, I die cut "happy" (Unity) and glued it to the strip of orange-ish scrapbook paper. I glued that to the plaid scrapbook paper and adhered that to the card base with double-sided tape. After that, I punched out the balloons using a Stampin' Up! punch. I used my mini MISTI to stamp the sentiment (Unity) on the balloon using Versafine Onyx. I tied black thread around each of them. I glued two small ones to the card and popped out the two larger ones with double-sided foam tape. 

The die and stamp combination is something new I just received!

Celebrate Today

 I began this A2-sized card with a white base. I die cut 3 circles times 2 and glued one to the next starting with the largest in each set. Then, I cut them in half. I used one from each set to make the design. But, first I stamped the sentiment (Stampin' Up!) using Colorbox Chalk in Lipstick Red on white card stock. I glued it to the center of the card. Then, I built the design around it centering the elements around the sentiment. Next, I added some red enamel dots to the ends of the paper with the sentiment on it. Finally, I stamped the stars (Stampendous) in two opposite corners.

This card was made loosely following the directions and pictures from Lee-Ann Greff.

Sparkle & Shine

 I began this A2-sized card with a white base. Then, I adhered the light blue frosted card stock to the base. Next, I cut and adhered the two mirrored silver panels on each side of the blue. After that, I die cut the word "Sparkle" also using the mirrored silver card stock. I glued this to the card and used alphabet stickers for the "& SHINE". I took the challenge literally!

Winter Trees

 I began this A2-sized card with a white base. I adhered a die cut shape using some scrapbook paper with snowflakes on it with double-sided tape. Next, I glued 3 sizes and colors of die cut trees. Finally, I added a silver gem to sparkle.

Christmas Trees

 I began this A2-sized card with a white base. Then, I added a piece of snowflake scrapbook paper as a background. Next, I die cut the white panel and adhered it using double-sided tape. After that, I die cut the trees and glued them to the white panel. Finally, I added silver gems to the white panel. I'll probably use this as a thank-you card.

Cheers

I began this A2-sized card by die cutting the letters and numbers out of black card stock. I glued them to the bottom of the card. Then, I cut the martini scrapbook paper and adhered it to the top two thirds of the card leaving a slight strip of the card showing at the top. Inside the card is "Happy New Year". We've had enough of 2020, haven't we?

Winter Wonderland 2

 I began this small tag/ornament by stamping the image (Inkadinkado) in Versafine Onyx on white card stock. The image says "Winter Wonderland" and has an image of a snowflake. I used double-sided foam tape to adhere it to the black die cut banner. Then, I die cut another banner out of white card stock. I lay the two together and hand punched a small circle. Next, I threaded a ribbon through both holes and knotted it.

Winter Wonderland 1

 I began this small tag/ornament by stamping the image (Inkadinkado), which says "Winter Wonderland" on it and has an image of a snowflake, on a frosted pale blue card stock. I used Versafine Onyx to make the impression. I die cut that in the form of a banner. Then, I cut another banner out of black card stock and adhered the blue panel to it. Next, I used my Silent Setter to punch out holes and fill them with eyelets in three places - two for the silver tinsel hanger and one for the dangling snowflake charm.

Thank you 1

 I began this A2-sized card by stamping the "snow" (A Stamp in the Hand) on the white panel using Vivid inky blue. I glued the die cut tree to the lower right corner and rounded the edges with a hand punch. Then, I stamped the sentiment (Stampin' Up!) with Versamark and heat embossed it on navy blue card stock using white embossing powder. I arranged those two panels on a red piece of card stock and, using double-sided tape, adhered that to the striped scrapbook paper.

Rainbow Ornament

I began this A2-sized card by die cutting a rainbow of colors using a die that looks like tufts of grass. Then, I die cut a circle. I glued each color down until I got to the red, where I used 3 rows of that color. Next, I cut a piece of silver to be used as the cap. Finally, I made the hanging "string" using a white colored pencil and glued the ornament in place.
