Lots of cards!

Here are all the cards I'm about to show you!

File Folder Card using Bleach

This is probably one of my favorite cards. When I started I didn't know where I was going with it. I found the flower stamp in the $1 bin at Joannes. I knew that it would be perfect for stamping with bleach so when I got home I prepared everything and stamped the image multiple times on yellow cardstock just playing with it. I loved it! So then I stamped and embossed the image in black on the same color card stock and this time I took my blender pen and brushed the bleach over the open area in the flower. Loved it again! So now I had these 2 images and wanted to use them so I started putting things together and ended up making a file folder card! I sewed around the edges on the front to hold my background paper in place. I popped up the main flower and added a little brown ribbon. For the inside piece I stamped the image in brown and again sewed around the edges to mimic the front. I also distressed and scuffed the edges of the main layer of cardstock. I then took the stamp again and created the envelope so that it would match the card. I so love the way this card turned out!!!!!

Thinking of You

Masked off a circle on front of card and used SU! Ink for the moon, inked a little orange around the edges too. Then added some iridescent medium to make is shine. I stamped the main image in black ink added the sentiment and called it a day. Simple but so very pretty!

Embossed and Distressed

I embossed my main image and then went over the entire piece with broken china distress ink. I went over the edges with vintage photo distress ink and stamped my sentiment. Simple and quick card!

Best Wishes

For this card I just stamped a with a floral background stamp. I colored what I wanted with my glaze pens. I then stamped the image on another piece over a sentiment that I stamped first (I just masked it before I restamped the background) and cut out just a portion of the image, dolled it up a bit and then popped it up over the original stamped image on my main card.

Welcome Baby

My niece is having a little girl in December so I made this card for when she's born. The giraffe is from Create a Critter Cricut Cart. I fanfolded a piece of cardstock and added the sentiment on top. Ribbon is from SU!

Potted Flower card

Used SU! markers to color the image in then stamped it. I added a little iridescent medium to the flowers and pot for added sparkle. Inked the edges and tore the inside card layer for a more rough look.

Thinking of You Crossword

For this I embossed a crossword background stamp and then finished it off with some alphabet stickers I had lying around. Nothing Fancy but I been wanting to use that stamp.

Get Well Soon

I can't remember what Cricut Cartridge the tree is cut from as I cut is about a year ago and just set it aside. I finally did something with it:) Tree is poped up and I added a little sparkle from a glitter pen.

Wish you were here Card

Using $1 stamps from Michaels I created this fun card. The envelope was stamped 3 times and layed for dimension.

Embossed Cards

For the first card I used all stamps made by Wendy Vecchi. I stamped and embossed the flower and swirls and then pop dotted them up. I stitched on a piece of ribbon then gathered it and adhered it to the card.

The second card was stamped and embossed using an embossing powder that appears distressed. I love it!

On the third card I used a CTMH stamp set stamping all the girls but one is black then embossing over them with clear. The sentiment is a stamp from the $1 bin at Michaels.
