Happy Birthday Sister

Sisters stamp set from Stamping Sensations, cardstock
from Nina and Gina K Designs, layering papers and ribbon
 from Gina K Designs, shirt paper piecing from Paper
Wishes, Bazzill flowers, bling from my
stash, My Favorite Things stitched frame,
Copic markers, and Wink of Stella.
 
My sister's birthday is coming up in December and
I wanted to make a special card for her. I love this stamp
set, so decided to use it on an easel card.
You can't really see it online, but the polka dot shirt is
covered in Wink of Stella.
I am very pleased with the outcome.

Merry Christmas Shaped Card

Gina K Designs Seasons Greetings stamp set,
ribbon, and cardstock; Spellbinders die,
Glossy Accents, pearls from my stash,
Wink of Stella, and Ultra Clear tape.
 
I have been wanting to make a shaped card, so I used my
largest Spellbinders die to cut 2 pieces of cardstock the same size.
I had seen on You tube and Paper Wishes how to score
the top of the back piece of cardstock and tape
with Ultra Clear tape to assemble the card and allow
it to stand.
I love the effect of sponging the cardstock while still in place
with the die, it added such a warm look on this card.
I frequently have coffee with several different friends and
thought this would be a perfect card for one of them.
It was such fun to make.
 
Here is a picture of the inside of the card:

Seasons Greetings



Amuse cardstock and designer paper, Gina K Designs
Seasons Greetings stamp set, snowflake bling from my stash,
Spellbinders die, and Wink of Stella pen.
 
I have been working on my Christmas cards a lot lately.
I love this designer paper from Amuse and the
stamp set from Gina K Designs. I thought this would
make a good masculine Christmas card for one of
my co-workers. You can't see it much in the picture
but I did use Wink of Stella glitter pen on my snowflakes.
These snowflakes have been in my stash for years waiting for
the right project!
Love the outcome.

I wanted to create a fall card for the Sketch Saturday

I also just got my Wink of Stella clear pen and
had been waiting to use it for a while.
I love the outcome, the leaves on the bottom look so real!

Many Thanks


Gina K Designs The Simple Things Stamp Kit
Flower Bling from my stash (Jolie I think)
 
I fell in love with this stamp kit from Gina K. I.
really like making fall cards, and the papers and
stamps in this kit are gorgeous. I have never used
burlap on a card before so this was a challenge for me.
I will probably send this out as a Thanksgiving card.
