A Few Quick Cards to Share…
I was cleaning my craft room recently and came across a few quick cards I had made a while back (and had kind of forgotten about!).
*
For this one, I embossed a piece of brown card stock with the Cuttlebug “Thanks” embossing folder (#37-1134) and then rubbed “Walnut Brown” Viva 3D-Stamp Paint over the whole panel. Love, love, love the rich, metallic shine!
I cut a rectangle window from the embossed panel and another rectangle for the greeting (PSX E-2266) with dies from the Spellbinders “A2 Matting Basics” (A & B) die sets. Gina K Designs Dark Chocolate ink was used for the greeting panel along with a Vintage Photo distress marker and a Ranger Distress Marker Spritzer Tool for the splattered dots.

For this next one, I added Gina K Designs Honey Mustard ink and water to my craft mat and dipped/dragged white card stock through it. Then I used a paint brush to tap/splatter some Dark Chocolate ink and water over the panel. I sponged the edges and stamped the leaves and greeting from the Momenta “Nature Set” (lot #0005702) with Dark Chocolate ink. This panel was layered on another piece of white card stock and a Dark Chocolate base.

For these, I let the patterned paper do all the work… I used portions of a piece of Recollections “Thoreau Flowers” (#505802) paper along with Stampin’ Up Tip Top Taupe and either Peach Ballini or Edible Eggplant card stock from Gina K Designs.
The birthday stamp is from the “Birthday Bash” set by Fiskars. The greeting on the second one is from the “Various Verses” set (retired?) by Gina K Designs. Both greetings were stamped with SU Tip Top Taupe ink.

Thanks for checking out my card projects!

Having pp do the heavy lifting leave tons of opportunity for your creative juices to flow. Love the taupe ink for sentiment. Brilliant.

These are all lovely. I really like the inky backgrounds you made. I had not heard of the viva paint. That is some pretty patterned paper, I can see how you would want to cover the whole card front with it. TFS!

Don’t you love finding completed cards during a CAP, Lisa?! These are all so terrific! And thank you for the reminder that I recently bought more (!) gorgeous pp that only needs a stamped sediment to finish them off like you’ve done here so beautifully! Hugs, Darnell
