Peace


I began this A2-sized card by stamping the sentiment (PSX) on a scrap of white card stock with Vivid ink and cut it down. I adhered it to the card base using double-sided tape. Then, I die cut the snowflakes and glued them to the card base. I added a self-adhesive crystal gem to the center of each.

Watch the Leaves Turn


I began this A2-sized card by stamping the quote (Impression Obsession) in Vivid brown. I adhered that to a brown panel using double-sided tape. Then, I used double-sided foam tape to make the sentiment stand out, and I cut the other panels and layered them.

Tricycle


I began this A2-sized card by adhering the tricycle paper to a black card base. Then, I stamped the tricycle and sentiment (Unity) in Versafine Onyx on a white card stock panel. I add a layer of black card stock behind that and adhered it to the tricycle paper with double-sided tape.

A Little Frog Told Me...


I began this A2-sized card by stamping all of the elements on the manila-colored card stock. I stamped the shadow at the bottom (Rubber Room ?) in Distress Archival Ink. I stamped the frog (Stampendous) in Versafine Onyx and the sentiment (Peddler's Pack Stampworks) in Vivid olive. Then, I colored the frog in the tutu with my Spectrum Noir colored pencils. Next, I layers that panel over an olive-colored card stock which was laid over a manila-colored card base. The last thing I did was add silver glitter to the hem of the tutu and the crown. (It doesn't show up well in a scan, darn it!) I believe this is the first time I've used glitter on a card. It is really fine.

Fall is in the Air


I began this A2-sized card by stamping the pumpkin image (Northwoods Rubber Stamps) with Versafine Onyx and coloring it using my Spectrum Noir colored pencils. I cut it out by hand. Then, I cut strips of fall-types of paper and glued them to the back of the image. I used double-sided foam tape to lift it off the brown panel. Finally, I stamped the sentiment (also Northwoods Rubber Stamps) and glued it to the front of the image.

Thinking of You


I began making the A2-sized card by cutting a white card base, a red panel and white panel. I layered them in that order. Then, I die cut the poinsettia and leaves and glued them to the card base. Next, I stamped the sentiment (Stampin' Up!) using Vivid ink in vintage green.

Happy Thanksgiving


I began this A2-sized card with a manila-colored card base. Then, I cut the plaid paper a bit smaller and used double-sided tape to adhere it to the card base. Next, I cut a manila-colored panel and stamped the sentiment (Uptown Design Co.) and the pumpkin image (Hero Arts). After that, I colored in the pumpkin using my Spectrum Noir colored pencils. Finally, I cut out some bits of that panel to get rid of the white space.

Snowflakes


This is a very simple A2 card. I began with a piece of frosted light blue card stock. I die cut 5 small snowflakes and glued them to the card base just below the middle. Then, I place a small crystal gem in the center of each.

Happy Thanksgiving


I began this A2-sized card by layering the brown and the plaid papers onto a white card base. Then, I stamped the sentiment (Uptown Design Co.) onto white card stock with Vivid butterscotch and layered that onto a different brown card stock. Next, I die cut the sprigs and glued them to the under side of the sentiment. Finally, I mounted the sentiment panel onto the card using double-sided foam tape.
