All of my enteries were done using the Vintage Vogue set that has quickly become a favorite stamp set. The photo is of Mom and I. I really like how pink and brown shades go together so that was the basis's of my color scheme here, which is Blush Blossom and Soft Suede. The long strip actually flips up to reveal the journaling underneath. It is a great way to still showcase the photo without having the journaling showing. So what do you think?
I love this card and it came out better than I had hoped! I created this card with the Geetings, Earthling stamp set. I made the planet and moon using my big shot and the clear circle and circles #2 dies. I cut the large circle in half, on one half I punched out different size circles and then used them between the two halves.The inside circles I used dimensionals and then doubled dimensionals to put the top layer on. Then I spritzed on silver shimmer paint which distorted the top layer even more, creating all the dimension on the planet which you can see in the up close picture. I also dirtied it up by sponging gray ink and rubbed on white gel marker using my finger. For the moon I punched out a circle in Crushed Curry and crinkled it up. I also sprayed shimmer paint on it with the gold color. I stamp Happy birthday from the A Little Birthday Cheer stamp set which I curved around the planet. The little alien I colored with markers and popped him in and around the moon. Lastly on the Bermuda Bay base I sponged Crushed Curry ink and used my white gel pen to create the stars you would see in space. This card measures 4 1/2 x 2 3/4. So what do you think?
Next was this little party treat favor. I used the holder that my C clear block came in. I used the same stamps and color scheme that I used in making the card. Everything but the little alien is on the inside of the clamp shell case. I also used crystal effects on the stomach and eyeball for added dimension. The mini pez candies I picked up at a dime store.
Welcome to Stampin' Addict's Blog Hoppin' Birthday Bash!
This card is perfect for that tween stage that can be so hard to make. Both of my boys are into skulls and skeletons ... wonder where they got that from; so I made this card with that in mind. The main images are from Beware Pirates. I wanted the vellum to look like a pirate flag so I attached it in the way a flag would wave in the wind; you can click on the side picture to see the dimension on it. I wanted the background to be busy and and dirty so I used Extreme Elements stamp set to do that. Being the card is for a boy I couldn't add any ribbon so I just tied some black thread around the base and of course I added some shimmer paint to the stars before stamping to add a bit of manly bling!!
This one I kept clean and simple so it would be easy to make lots of them in a short amount of time, but I thought it was a little too plain so I made this next one too.
I'm so lovin' this set!! It would make for a great birthday theme! Be sure to check out my blog over the next week when I give a few more details on these last two projects or you can subscribe to my blog and you'll know when I update! The link to subscribe is on my side bar to the left.
It's a small one that measures 3 x 4 1/2. For this project I used With All My Heart from the Occasion's mini catalog. I used a piece of scrap DSP from Cottage Wall and I spritzed the main flower with shimmer paint. I picked spring colors because I am hoping that spring will show itself sometime soon!! Happy Stamping!!
The colors here are Certainly Celery and Bermuda Bay and they go together surprisingly well. I was sure how this vintage set would do in brighter colors but I think it looks great! I crimped the base just a bit to add some texture. The Bermuda Bay piece is done using the faux flannel technique. I originally had the centers done with Iridescent Ice but I changed them by adding pop up glue dots and microbeads with Certainly Celery as the background and it really softened it up. Happy Stamping!!
I had completely forgotten we had this Naturals Ivory color ... I think it's my new favorite color for a base. I love the simplicity and colors in the card. To add a little flair to the flower I added and knotted piece of ribbon to the center. I also used the scallop trim punch along the one side. This card has that classic clean look. What do you think?? Happy Stamping!
I think what I like most about this card is the two tone colors of the main flower and the vine in the background. The flower I did in the rock and roll technique and for the vines I colored them with markers. I added some DSP which I ran the scallop trim punch along one side as well as adding some of that yummy chocolate chip taffeta ribbon. So whatcha think? Happy Stamping!!
This card measures 4 1/2 x 4 1/2. The colors look great together here too. I used Bliss Blue, Rose Red and Old Olive, they make for a bright and cheery card. I won't even tell you how long it took to make this card ... it was one of those I redid about a half a dozen times, but it had a great ending result! Happy Stamping!
I like this card better than the last one ... these are great colors together!! I did mist with shimmer paint the card base, the circle flower as well as the main focal image. I did it after I had stamped the focal image and it made it have a sifter muted image. To make the circle flower I just ran the scallop trim punch along strip of cardstock, then crimped it and bunched it around a punched circle and topped it off with a small flower punched from the Boho Blossom punch. Happy Stamping!
I really like the colors but the layers just weren't doing it for me. But it's still pretty. I did the flower by mixing reinker and the shimmer paint. It's very shimmery in person! Happy Stamping!
