SHARING THE ART OF HANDCRAFTED CARDS...BY LORI PINTO
This card is not exactly the kind of card you want to make, but when someone asks for something special to send to someone who is hurting from a loss, you do it! This stamp set is called Thoughts and Prayers. I just love the simplicity of the tree image. This card really did not …
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 …
I couldn’t decide between my two latest favorite stamp sets – Hey Chick and Sealed with Love, so I incorporated both! My little chick is all ready for Valentine’s Day!

This card started out as a project for my stamp class at the local Senior Center. Well, I got half way through the card and realized that it was just too much cutting and coloring for them! 🙁 Since I could never leave a card half done – well, you know I just had to …
The Falling in Love DSP has so many beautiful designs, but for this card I wanted to choose something very subtle and muted. So I chose the Tip Top Taupe with an Ivory floral pattern. I cut a Tip Top Taupe card base and also a piece of vellum to go over the patterned DSP. …
This is another one of those soft and muted color cards for Valentine’s Day! This card is from the Sealed with Love Stamp Set and is my January Featured Bundle of the Month! (If you purchase this bundle, you will receive three complete card projects along with a tutorial for each card and a free …
This card has two of my favorite things… the color Mint Macaron and another one of those teeny tiny envelopes – which I just cannot stop making! 🙂 I started out with a Whisper White card base. I cut a piece of the Falling in Love DSP to 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ and then …
As you know, I love square cards! And this one is no exception. This card is from the Sealed with Love stamp set and is my January Featured Bundle of the Month! This is one of the finished cards – with tutorial, that you will receive with the bundle. I started with a Real Red …
