A Merry Little Wish

(inside: for lots of joy at Christmas)

The layout for this card was inspired by this sketch from Mojo Monday:

The stamped images are from the “Festival of Trees” set (retired?) from Stampin’ Up. The Christmas tree was stamped with Gina K Kraft ink and the greeting with Charcoal Brown.

The card base and all the mats are Recollections Kraft card stock. The inside panel is Gina K Designs Sandy Brown. All the patterned papers are by “The Paper Studio” from Hobby Lobby – Gold Wedding Stripes, Gold Wedding Ornate, Gold Wedding Texture, and Antique Brocade.

The circles were cut with dies from the Spellbinders “Standard Circles” (large and small) sets. I created cut files for the tree and its mat which were cut on my Silhouette. I used a personal trimmer for the rest of the panels.

I made boxed sets of this card design. A lot of cutting and pasting!!

Baseball Box Card

Baseball Box Card

This baseball box card is from the “Father’s Day Box Cards” SVG Kit by SVGCuts. The kit contains several different box card projects with themes that are perfect for Father’s Day or that could be used year round. In addition to this baseball card, there is a golf cart card (which I previously made), a toolbox card, a BBQ grill card, and a generic card with stars. The kit contains the svg files that you can cut with your electronic die cutting machine, and you can choose the papers and embellishments. Once all the pieces are cut out, you assemble them into an amazing dimensional card! A tutorial VIDEO is provided to make assembly a breeze.

I made this card for my son’s birthday. The greeting I added to the star element is from the “Just Fore You” stamp set by CC Designs stamped with Gina K Charcoal Brown ink.

The card stock I used was all from Gina K Designs: Sandy Beach, Grass Green, Charcoal Brown, Cherry Red, White, and Metallic Gold. I swiped Gina K Kraft ink across the bats to give them a wooden appearance.

There is a panel on the back where you can write or stamp a message to the recipient.

The stamp I used on this card is from the “All About You” set from Gina K Designs and was stamped with Gina K Charcoal Brown Ink.

Box Cards fold flat to fit into a regular envelope, and depending on the embellishments that you choose, they may not even require extra postage (if you make them light and flat enough).

Warm Wishes

Warm Wishes

(inside: …for a wonderful holiday!)

Here’s another of the coffee (or tea, or hot chocolate…) themed stamps I ordered last week.

This holiday card features the “Warm Wishes” stamp from Neat and Tangled and the glittered patterned paper called “Falala Christmas” by Best Creation Inc.

The image was heat embossed with versamark ink and Gina K white embossing powder. In addition to the striped glitter card stock, I also used Scarlet Jewel and Soft Stone card stock from Papertrey Inc.

The inside sentiment was stamped with PTI Scarlet Jewel ink. The stamp was custom made at rubberstamps.net.

I made boxed sets of this card design.

Joy to the World

Joy to the World

(inside: May the blessings of Christmas be with you all through the year.)

The background frame is from the “Inspiration Mosaic” stamp set from Gina K Designs. The nativity stamp (EE0145) is by Prickley Pear, and the Greeting is by Momenta (20685R7). All images were heat embossed with Versamark ink and Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder on Gina K Ivory card stock. This panel was mounted on a Kraft card base (Recollections). The inside sentiment is from the “Christmas Blessings” set by Our Daily Bread and was stamped with Gina K Kraft ink on an ivory panel.

I used my MISTI to line up the stamps and to make sure I got good stamped images for the front of my card and was able to make multiples for boxed sets.

Coffee Note Cards

Coffee Note Cards

I see many coffee themed cards in my internet travels, but I have never made one myself. Last week, I was asked if I had any coffee themed cards on hand… Guess what I did as soon as I got home! After looking online at the large collection of coffee related stamps and dies available, I ordered a few and not-so-patiently waited for them to arrive.

As I mentioned in my “Falling Leaves” post, I also received a request for blank note cards without a greeting so I decided to combine the two requests and design another plain note card but with a coffee theme.

For this card, I featured the Stampendous “Coffee Background” stamp which I stamped with Gina K Dark Chocolate ink on Recollections Ivory card stock. I crimped a strip of Recollections Kraft card stock with my Uchida Crimping tool and adhered that to the stamped panel. (This kind of reminded me of the corrugated cup sleeves you often see with take-out cups to protect your hands.) The edges of both were inked with the Dark Chocolate. After adding some baker’s twine (from Target), I added this to an ivory mat and a kraft card base. A blank ivory panel was adhered inside for a personal message.

I used my MISTI to make sure I got a good stamped image for the front of my card and was able to make multiples for boxed sets.
