SHARING THE ART OF HANDCRAFTED CARDS...BY LORI PINTO
People love coming to the card classes I hold in my home each month and I love having them! I would love to have YOU come to one of my classes! I know that is not really a possibility, unless you live in the Connecticut area, so I want to bring my classes (and cards) …
This was a second ‘photo’ card that I added to my upcoming Christmas Card Class! And it was a cinch to put together! I used the Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies for the beautiful border frame around the card. The die is used on both the top and bottom here, but it certainly looks great …
This stamp set, Background Bits is only available as a Host gift. This means that you can purchase it when you place an order for $150+. Remember though, you can get a bunch of friends to add to the order to make the total a lot easier to get to! This stamp set has both …
This was a last minute entry into my Christmas Card Class that will be held in a few weeks. I was asked to design a card that would hold a photograph and also be appropriate for the holidays. What a great idea… why didn’t I think of that in the first place? 🙂 And I …
I am still having so much fun with the Season Like Christmas stamp set! I love the three step stamp process… it makes it so easy to design very slight variations with such big results! For this card, I used Garden Green ink for the first two stamps, but with the second image, I stamped …
This is another card I made with my new favorite holiday stamp set, Season Like Christmas! I have tried it with the traditional green colors, but keep finding myself drawn to the gray and silver as I did here. I started by stamping the first two stamps in Smoky Slate ink. I stamped the first …
This stamp set, Lovely As A Tree really is lovely! The set has this beautiful individual tree along with a set of five trees set on a hilltop. I don’t see this set being used too often, so I decided to bring it out and show off one of its beautiful images! I started this …
Ever since I broke into my Season Like Christmas stamp set, I fall more in love with this set! 🙂 It just so happens I entered this one into the #tictactoechallenge this week… #tttc020. I chose the left line down as my element – peace/metallic thread/white! I would love for you to leave a comment …
When this Bike Ride Stamp Set came out, I was visualizing a basket of apples in Autumn! And so, here we are! I decided to keep this one quick and simple by just stamping and not cropping out the bicycle image. I was letting the pops of red get all the attention! I used Basic …
I must admit, Halloween is not up there on my favorite holiday list! But since it is a very fun and exciting day for others… I had to get at least one Halloween card out there! I used the stamp set, Labels to Love because it does have this cute Halloween Tag sentiment and I …
I played along with the #tictactoechallenge this week #tttc019. I think I landed on two elements this time! 🙂 Check out the left down and bottom across and see if you agree! I used a new stamp set from the Holiday Catalog called Gourd Goodness along with paper from the Painted Autumn DSP. Here are …
This was another one of the cards I used as samples when I did the YouTube video with tips and tricks for using the Stampin’ Up! Embossing Paste. This was a quick and easy masculine card that just took minutes to put together. I mixed Dapper Denim ink from a re-inker in with a little …
