Give Thanks Stenciled Card

 


I've recently been trying my hand at stencils for a one layer (or very close to one layer) card...They are definitely fun to play with!

The stencil for the background here is from Paper Trey Ink...Harvest Medley Stencil Collection. It's a set of eight stencils that you ink up, one at a time. I've used Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Oxide inks here.

The precious Bible verse sentiment is from Stamp Simply's Give Thanks clear stamp set, stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink and die cut with a retired Spellbinder die.

A bit of ink distressing on the edges, spatters, and enamel dots finish this easy--yet fun to make-- card.


I made this card up for today's Friends in Faith Instagram hop...this week we are focusing on "Give Thanks in All Things." 
Be sure to check out the hop for all of the inspiration that is there!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Clean and Simple Tea Time Card: Product of the Week


Here with a card using Stamp Simply's Product of the Week: Coffee Series! A range of clear stamps, dies, and paper celebrating coffee and tea!

I've used Stamp Simply Coffee or Tea? clear stamp and die sets on this card. 

I die cut the tea cup from the Coffee or Tea? die set out of gingham paper. I also die cut it once more from white and glued the two together for a bit more dimension. Same with the "tea" die cut sentiment. Cut once from the decorator paper, then twice with white cardstock.

The tea bag was die cut with the die set, then stamped with a stamp from the Coffee or Tea? clear stamp set. It was then added to the cup with a bow and piece of May Art's Bakers Twine.

Clean and Simple!

Seasonal Wreaths--Stamp Simply Product of the Week


Stamp Simply's Seasonal Wreaths are Product of the Week! There are two clear stamp sets: Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. Each stamp set has matching dies, sold separately.

I love these sets and have used them numerous times. Today's card features the Spring/Summer stamp and die set. I chose Autumn colors which work out great with the image.



I stamped the wreath onto a white cardstock panel using Versafine Clair Acorn ink. The cluster image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then Copic Sketch marker colored. I die cut the cluster with the matching die, then popped it up onto the wreath.


The base of the card is simple covered with a piece of Craft Consortium's Beach Hut decorator paper. All quick and easy. This would be an easy card to mass product, and is fairly flat for mailing.



All linked product is from Stamp Simply.

Make sure to check out the Product of the Week...a great time to pick up some seasonal sets!


Have a great weekend!

Autumn Woodscape Card


Hello! I have a quick 5 x 7" card to show you today. I created it for this week's My Favorite Instagram Hop...our inspiration was to create around mushroom/woodland/fern images.



I used a punch to create a notebook type border up the side of the decorator paper panel, then mounted it onto black cardstock. A bit of distress oxide ink was added to the edges of the panel along with some spattered onto the background.  The color palette on the right edge is a rub on transfer. The small butterfly laser cut is popped up on the image panel.

The Autumn word was die cut from rusty orange cardstock and twice more from black cardstock. All three were then glued together for dimension.

Beautiful papers! 

Be sure to check out the Instagram hop for more inspiration!
Have a great week!

Friends in Faith Instagram Hop--Sweet Hour of Prayer


Hello! I have a clean and simple yet quick to make card for today's Friends in Faith Instagram Hop. Our inspiration for this week was "Sweet Hour of Prayer."

I wanted to use Stamp Simply's Prayer die for the card and added a retired Spellbinder Medallion Five die. The medallion reminded me of a stained glass window.



I began by die cutting the medallion from the top panel of the card. I then ink blended some Tim Holtz Ranger Oxide inks (Faded Jeans, Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina) onto another sheet and glued that behind the medallion die cut. I popped up the entire top panel for dimension.

I also sponged some of the same oxide inks onto a scrap of paper and die cut the prayer die from that scrap. I glued the single layer prayer word onto the top panel.  A gem finishes off the design for a pretty touch.

So serene and I love the color combo.

You can find Stamp Simply's Prayer die HERE with additional prayer themed stamps and dies.

I hope that you have a chance to check out the additional makes in today's hop! Thanks for stopping by!

 

Fresh Hello Fruit Product of the Week

Hi! Here today with a CAS (clean and simple) plus quick card featuring Stamp Simply's Product of the Week: The Fruit Series!

The cherry from the Stamp Simply clear Fruit stamp set is the star on this simple design. I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored it with Copic Sketch Markers. 

I die cut the cherries with Tim Holtz/Sizzix Hexagon Stacked Tile dies; a smaller sized hexagon for the cherry panel which was then popped up onto the next size up hexagon. A couple more hexagons add a bit of interest to the remainder of the background panel.

 

I stamped a sentiment from the Stamp Simply Fruit Sentiment clear stamp set with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, then also die cut and layered it.

Ranger Glossy accents adds a sheen to the cherries for a final touch.

All linked supplies are from Stamp Simply.

Here are a couple of "Oldies but Goodies" using the Fruit Series:

Absolutely Pear-fect

Back to School Teacher's Gift

 


Here with a back to school gift for my grandson's teacher. It also fits for this week's My Favorite Instagram Hop...theme being "Back to School."

I simply purchased a box of pencils and trimmed the box down. I then covered it with Echo Park's School Rules decorator paper.

The tag also uses the decorator paper pad; the tag die cut with a Tim Holtz Sizzix Tag Collection die along with Tim Holtz Sizzix Alphanumeric letters. The apple is die cut with a retired Spellbinders die.

Ribbons are May Art's from Stamp Simply.
