                                          Page Right

Page Right Directions:

Use red "Berrylicious" card stock by Bazzill® as the background for Page Right.

Attach a 12-inch piece of Maya Road® l pale green lace approximately 1.25 inches from the top of the page. Apply pop dots to the back of  "12 Months of Improvement" sign and position the left edge of the sign at the 6.25 inch across the page and .50 inch from the top of the page.

Use Memento® black ink and the scroll stamp from the "Bliss" stamp set by Stampin' Up!® to stamp 3 scroll images one next to each other starting at the left side of the red card stock.

Once you have stamped your 3 scroll images next to each other, attach a 12 inch long by .50 inch wide strip of cream floral paper at the top of the three scrolls.

Cut a frame from Stampin' Up!® "Pretty in Pink" card stock and attach it slightly overlapping the cream floral strip. Stamp a butterfly from the "Bliss" stamp set by Stampin' Up!® under the upper right corner of the frame, as shown. Use the Stampin' Up!® banner punch to punch out 4 cream floral banners and 3 yellow zigzag banners from scraps.  Attach each banner with a pop dot across the top of the frame.  Use double-sided tape to attach the "New Year New You" cameo in the center of the frame.

Using "Pollen" card stock by Bazzill®, cut out a globe with the American Crafts® globe die.  Cut a clock face from "Shining Moment" paper by Webster's Pages® and center it on the globe.  Attach the completed embellishment as shown, setting the globe base on top of the /&/ symbol so that it is no longer visible but all the other words on the banner can be seen.

Mat the December calendar on a piece of "Jetstream" card stock by Bazzill® directly under the "12 Months of Improvement " sign and approximately .50 inches from the bottom of the page.

Ink the edges of the red card stock with white craft ink from Stampin' Up!®

Day 344: Home Christmas Card

Tonight I made this Christmas card for my husband. The image is by PSX.  I stamped the image with Memento ink and used Copic markers to color it in.  I added some fake snow for added depth, and then used an oval frame that was in my stash to draw the eye in.

Day 311: Sympathy Card

Unfortunately, the mom of one of my daughter's friends died yesterday, so tonight I helped her to make a sympathy card.  I showed her how to use the Cuttlebug embossing folder, how to use the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to position her stamps where she wanted them, and how to use Copic markers to color the praying hands image (Dollar Tree; all other images and verses shown, card stock:  Stampin' Up!). Inks:  Brown: Memento and Silver: Colorbox. My daughter selected the card stock, embossing folder, and all the stamps and inks used. Hopefully this card will help lift her friend up after the sudden and unexpected death of her mother.

Day 303: One Moment in Time Gears Card Part 2

I punched gears and circles out of brushed silver card stock by Stampin' Up! I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig and rich cocoa Memento ink to stamp the pocket watch (Rubber Stampede) and the verse (Repeat Impressions) onto the silver card . I ran everything through the Xyron machine, then attached  the pieces to the front of my card.  The inside verse I wrote says:  Your birthday only comes once a year, so Celebrate!

Day 274: Glamour Shots: Glitter Time: Completed!

Today I finished my Glitter Time page. I used a clock paper by Teresa Collins as the background page.  I used two black brackets by Laserline underneath my matted photos.  Glitter paper by American Crafts. I cut out the fashion cards from a page of Graphic 45 paper. Flowers by Prima, Ribbon in Razzleberry from Stampin' Up! Filmstrip stamp by Just for Fun, stamped on cream paper in my stash with Memento Black ink. Modeling sticker by 7Gypsies.

Day 221: Monster Truck Card

 My husband and I are very close with my husband's cousin, and her teenage son has a birthday coming up.  I decided a monster truck card might be considered "cool".

I used "chocolate chip" card stock from Stampin' Up! as the card base.  I ran a piece of brown leather look paper from my scrap folder through Cuttlebug's "tire track" embossing folder.  I stamped the Great Impressions monster truck stamp with Memento Ink on Neenah paper, and colored it with my Copic markers. I cut out the truck and  used pop dots to adhere it to the tire tracks.  I layered that on top of a "sand" paper in my scrap folder.  I used my Crop-A-Dile and added 5 black eyelets across the top and bottom of the card to rev it up a little bit.

Day 173: Father's Day Card

If you are wondering why I am posting about making my husband a Father's Day card when Father's Day has already come and gone, it is because he was out of town for work on Father's Day.  He is due back tomorrow, so I made his card tonight.  I used a combination of Stampin' Up! stamps from "Set Sail" and "The Open Sea" stamp sets. I  stamped the sail boat image on Neenah paper with Memento ink, and then colored the image with Copic markers.  All other papers and inks are by Stampin' Up. The baker's twine is from We R Memory Keepers.  "Everything" stamp is by Penny Black.

Day 160: You Touch My Life Card for Step-Father and Lighthouse Card

For his step-father, my husband chose this dog stamp from the "For Father" set and the "You Touch My Life" verse from the "Set Sail" set, both by Stampin' Up! I used circle dies from Lifestyle Crafts to die cut the circle shapes.  I stamped the image and verse with Memento ink and colored the boots and dog with Copic markers.  I sponged a couple of different inks around the dog image. Striped background paper by Robyn Pandolph for Daisy D's. The rust card stock was from my stash; the Old Olive card stock is by Stampin' Up!

For my brother-in-law, I made this lighthouse card.  Stamp is from Repeat Impressions.  Card stock is Stampin' Up! I colored the image with Copic markers and used Sizzix die and the Big Shot to cut out the oval and frame.

Day 159: Tractor Card

For Father's Day, I made this tractor card for my husband's grandfather, who was a farmer.  Card stock is from Stampin' Up! The tractor stamp is by Hero Arts.  I stamped the tractor with Memento ink and colored it in with Copic markers.  I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder to create the tire track effect on the brown card stock. I had some tractor brads and a green hinge and brads (all from Oriental Trading Company) which I used to accent the main image.  I sponged ink over the tractor image and the card background.

Day 137: Bringing Baby Stamped and Colored

My neighbor complimented my card-making skills and asked if I would make a set of baby cards for her to purchase.  I knew right away I wanted to use Stampin' Up's "Bringing Baby" stamp.  I used Memento ink in Tuxedo Black to stamp the image and then colored it with my Copic markers.  I fussy cut the image and ran it through my Xyron.  I colored blue and pink images, but am only showing the blue here:

Day 84: "Ode to Spring" Easter Cards

Tonight I started to work on my Easter cards.  I am using "Ode to Spring" by Repeat Impressions (http://www.repeatimpressions.com/images/2605.gif ) as my focal image for my cards.  I covered the flowers with painter's tape and used VersaMark on the rabbit portion of the stamp, wiped off the painter's tape with an alcohol wipe, and then stamped onto white cardstock.  I then poured a pastel embossing powder (Stampin' Up!) over the VersaMark rabbit image.  Despite having the painter's tape on the flowers, embossing powder still wanted to collect where the flowers were supposed to be.  I just used a sponge paint brush to brush off the embossing powder in the areas where I didn't want it.  Then I heat embossed the rabbit. Using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to line the images up, I then over-stamped the flowers in brown Memento Ink, and colored the flowers with Copic markers. Tomorrow I will finish the cards.

Day 72: Ballet Dancing Doll Card

I made this card for a little girl who is in the hospital with heart failure.  I thought it might entertain her since the ballerina moves (note the brads at her shoulders and on the tutu). The stamp is from Limited Edition.  I used Memento ink to stamp the ballerina doll on to Neenah paper and colored her with  the Copic markers that I won at the Stamp Scrap Art Tour. The background paper is from BoBunny.
