Old Glory--Happy Independence Day!

 

Hello and Happy 4th of July! So very thankful for the freedom and independence that we are blessed with here in the United States of America. God has surely blessed our country.

I'm here today with a card made with Stamp Simply's Old Glory stamp set...such a wonderful set to celebrate our patriotism!

I began by stamping the flag/USA image onto white cardstock. I also stamped the image onto Echo Park's Let Freedom Ring paper pad--once onto a navy mini star sheet, and once onto the red gingham sheet.

I then paper pieced the stars and stripes from the patterned paper and glued them into place on the white panel. The stars were highlighted with a white gel pen.

The white panel was die cut with a rectangle die, and layered over one larger rectangle cut to act as a frame.

The Old Glory sentiment is from the stamp set, then die cut with a circle die. All layered over a background print from the Let Freedom Ring paper pad.

You can see all of Stamp Simply's wonderful patriotic stamps and dies HERE.

So Very Blessed

 

Hello! Thankful to be back after unexpectedly missing a couple of weeks. So very blessed in so many ways. God is great!

My card for today features some of Stamp Simply's Farmhouse Series: Farmhouse Signage stamps and dies along with Farmhouse Scriptural Thoughts stamps. 

I began by stamping the cows and sentiment onto white cardstock using Versafine Black Onyx ink. I stamped the milk can with Memento Gray Flannel ink, then inked it with a bit of the Onyx Black ink on the edges before stamping. 

The cows and milk can were die cut with the Farmhouse Signage dies, and the sentiment was die cut with a Stamp Simply Fishtail Banner Sentiment die.

The background panel is made up of prints from the Carta Bella Gather at Home decorator paper pad. 

You can find the entire Stamp Simply Farmhouse Series HERE.

Clean, simple, and easy to mail.

Tuscan Olive Branch

Hello! Here today with a card made for my monthly stamping group's exchange. It features Simon Says Stamp's Tuscan Olive Branch along with Stamp Simply's Welcome Fall stamp sentiment.

I began by  die cutting the olive branch twice from watercolor paper. I then watercolored the die cuts with Daniel Smith watercolors and adhered them together for added dimension. 

The olive branch is then layered onto Craft Consortium Metal Textures decorator paper. The sentiment from the Welcome Fall stamp set is stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink onto the watercolor, then die cut with a rectangle die.

The colors are so very rich in person. Simple and easy to make!

Father's Day

 

Hello! Father's Day is right around the corner and I have a masculine card to share featuring Stamp Simply's A Godly Man clear stamp and A Godly Man's Buck steel die sets. It also features Stamp Simply's Typewritten Year Round Greetings stamp set.

I began by stamping the buck head from the Godly Man set using Versafine Clair Acorn ink, then die cut it with the Godly Man's Buck die. I mounted it on two Spellbinder Oval die cuts (similar) that I had stamped with my vintage Stampin' Up Sanded background stamp.

The base of the card is layered with a "frame" of Craft Consortium Wood Textures decorator paper; the center of the wood paper panel is die cut with a Spellbinder Rectangle die. It is then layered over a chocolate brown colored card base.

The sentiment from Typewritten Year Round Greetings is stamped with the acorn ink, then die cut with a Stamp Simply Fishtail Banner Sentiment die. A couple of vintage copper brads adds the final detail.
