A fun card making blog
These three cards were made using a holiday stamp and die set featuring the Peanuts Gang.
I stamped, coloured and die cut all the images. Some snowbanks were fussy cut and others were die cut. I splattered the background on two of the cards. The images were arranged to create scenes and I added sentiments to each card. Clear Stickles and a clear shimmer brush were used to add some details to the cards.

This card was from the 30 Minute Card Making Stash Dash.
The parameters were as follows: Card Style: 5x7, Colour: orange, Embellishment: border, Technique: stamping, and Occasion: sympathy or no sentiment.
I chose to make a holiday card. I inked the background and splattered it with white paint. The lower piece is holographic paper but it photographed very dark - it's much lighter in real life. The skaters were stamped, coloured and fussy cut - and my orange is the carrots of their noses. I added a scalloped border along the left side and adhered a black frame around the images. I am showing this with the sentiment in place - that was added later.

Here is my card for letter Q for the Alphabet Challenge - Q is for quilt.
I cut four sections of patterned paper pieces and arranged them on a square sort of like a quilt. The card looked rather blank after stamping the sentiment so I added a spool of thread with a needle and some scissors.

This is my letter P card for the Alphabet Challenge - P is for poinsettias.
I die cut three poinsettias, inked them and splattered the pieces with water. They were shaped and arranged on a woodgrain background. I added an embossed sentiment and several gold gems.

The second class for the Let's Stamp Together subscription resulted in these two fun cards. The colours are bold and bright and the images are so perfect for Summer in Sardinia, which is the theme of the collection.

The letter O for the alphabet challenge was a bit of a struggle for me... ocean was the best choice and I pulled out a stamp set I haven't used in ages.
The scene was created by stamping images to create a mountain and water scene. I also stamped some mountains on grey cardstock and placed that piece across the embossed card front. Silver ribbon was added under the mountain strip and I placed the sentiment under that and added the scene image along with a silver bow.

I am still working my way through the alphabet challenge. This card is for the letter N = nature.
I inked a background in a rainbow colour scheme with the centre being primarily orange, yellow and green. The tree image was embossed in black and the panel was cut down to leave a thin border on a white card base. A simple sentiment was placed across the centre.

I am continuing to work on the alphabet challenge with two new letters each month. This card is for the letter M = monochromatic.
I embossed several images in white on blue cardstock and die cut them. I stacked each image three layers thick. The sentiment was also embossed in white and I arranged the images around the card, leaving the sentiment visible. The edges were trimmed and the card front was adhered to a white card base. It's such an easy way to make a monochromatic card quickly!

I used the Sketchy Saturday sketch to make my card.
I chose a green colour scheme and used old papers that had been filed away. The corners required some careful measuring and I added thin strips of gold foil paper between each section. The sentiment was stamped and added to a gold mat and then a dark green mat. A few glitter gems were placed around the card.

Fun folds are my favourite type of card and this is a good one!
I chose a Christmas theme and stamped the poinsettia image in opposite corners. I stamped the sentiment and then splattered the panel with gold paint. The towers along the sides have the same patterned paper on each panel and there is a panel on the back to write a message. The card folds flat to about 6x6 for mailing.
I am entering this card in the Creative Creases challenge.
Enjoy,
