SHARING THE ART OF HANDCRAFTED CARDS...BY LORI PINTO
I never seem to have a masculine birthday card to send out when I need it, so I decided to make a few of these to keep on hand. 🙂 I used both the Happy Celebrations stamp set and the Duo Celebrations Embossing folder for this bold sentiment! I used Dapper Denim ink and card …
I just love the Falling in Love DSP, especially the sheets that pick up the Sweet Sugarplum color. This card came to be from a scrap piece of the butterfly design in that pack. I just couldn’t let it go to the scrap bin…and I’m glad I didn’t! 🙂 I started with a Very Vanilla …
This card was way overdue (hence, the ‘belated’ in the title)! It was really quick to get together and I think it came out super cute! I love the color Pear Pizzazz with either Crumb Cake or Sahara Sand, and for this card, I went with the Sahara Sand. I used the Sahara Sand card …
This card was born from finding out that my husband’s colleagues have deemed me the ‘go-to’ when they need a group card for someone’s birthday – usually the next day!!! But I am so happy to do it for them! 🙂 And this one was super quick and easy. I started with a Whisper White …
This card took a little bit more time to come together…but well worth it, I think! It’s my second card this week from the Jar of Love Bundle because sometimes I just hate putting it away! 🙂 The supplies I used for this card were the Jar of Love Bundle (stamp set and framelit …
I needed a birthday card in a hurry, so this was a nice easy design I came up with using the Falling in Love DSP. The stamp set is one of the free stamp sets that are available from the Sale-A-Bration catalog if you make a purchase of $50. It is called Avant Garden. This …
This was a quick and easy card that I practically stole right from the Occasions Catalog! But that’s okay and not against the law! Stampin’ Up! actually encourages people to use any or all of the finished card images for inspiration and continued creativity! 🙂 I used the Balloon Adventure Bundle for this one. This …
This post will highlight two cards that are pretty similar and that I made from the same stamp set. It’s called Penned and Painted. It makes the most beautiful flower images! For the bases on both cards I used Rich Razzleberry card stock and I layered a piece of the Falling in Love DSP for …
This card was super easy to make….once I got all the layers cut! 🙂 With this card, I used a triple layer technique to give the card some dimension and at the same time, it keeps the design cohesive from one layer to the next. Really simple – and I love the end design! Here …
Since I was on a roll with my last card that I made using a much larger size base, I decided to do one more – just for the fun of it! 🙂 So, I started with an 8 x 8 piece of Whisper White, layered on a piece of Marina Mist from the Subtles …
I decided to step out of the box a little today with a completely different sized card! I started with an 8 x 8 Whisper White card stock and scored it at 4″. It is definitely different….and I’m really happy with how it turned out! In case you are wondering…there is no problem making an …
This is my favorite design so far from the Dragonfly Dreams Stamp Set. This stamp set and matching thinlits bundle is called the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle and is available from the Occasions Catalog on January 4th — after the Sale-A-Bration event goes live! The Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies cut out these beautiful images flawlessly. Our bundles …
