SHARING THE ART OF HANDCRAFTED CARDS...BY LORI PINTO
This card was kind of a surprise for me! It came from a request from a colleague of my husband and it was not the kind of request I was used to! His requirements were simple…. a holiday card – without any reference to anything ‘holiday’. He did want the word ‘Love’ and a ‘Teddy …
I know we are all so busy at this time of year, but I wanted to remind you all that we need to be good to ourselves also! Take another look at these crazy discounts that are available only while supplies last! Some of them are 60% off! 🙂 If you don’t have a catalog …
This is a sample card that I will be using to demonstrate a project at my next ‘Girls Stamping Club’ this week. This card was made as an alternative design to the October Paper Pumpkin kit! The great thing about these kits is that you have everything you need to make 8 cards or paper …
These gift tags were so simple and quick to make. I am adding them into some customer Christmas cards as a thank you for their support throughout the year! These tags were made with just one stamp set – Tin of Tags! I randomly stamped the snowflake image on the Kraft card stock (after using …
This card was super easy to make with the plaid design from the Warmth and Cheer DSP, which coordinates so nicely with the Delightful Dijon card stock and ink. I used the Delightful Dijon card stock for the base and layered a piece of DSP on a slightly wider piece of black card stock. I …
I think my nature cards are the most relaxing for me to make. And I love adding a seasonal greeting to them, which only makes them extra special for the holidays! For this card, I used the Thoughtful Branches, Sheltering Tree and Holly Berry Happiness stamp sets. I stamped the trio of trees with Tip …
I was on a roll with using a sticky note to give the illusion of a hillside backdrop (to see how I did it, see the previous post – Christmas Wishes), and I think I like the way this one came out even better! I used the single tree stamp from the Thoughtful Branches stamp …
With the use of a sticky note, I could get the card to pop a little by adding the illusion of hills in the background. I used the trio of trees from the Thoughtful Branches stamp set and the sentiment is from the Holly Berry Happiness stamp set. In order to get the look of …
This was another card that was so simple to put together – and I love the way it came out! The card is made up of mostly the wonderful thinlits that Stampin’ Up! has to offer! I used the Leaflits thinlits for the tree (which is really the leaf thinlit), and then I used the …
I just love the look of a square card! This stamp, from the Wonderful Year stamp set, just says it all! It is so simple and so bold that you really do not need much more to make this a special card. I simply ran the stamped layering paper through the Big Shot with the …
This card was super quick and easy to make. I used Real Red card stock for the base and angled-cut a piece of scrap from the Warmth & Cheer DSP. Then I stamped the background stamp from the Christmas Pines stamp set and added one of the large, bold and beautiful stamps from the Wonderful …
This quick and easy card was done with Warmth & Cheer DSP (my favorite) and a stamp from The Tin of Tags stamp set. I used the red plaid paper from the Warmth and Cheer DSP and layered it with an embossed design using the Holly Embossing Folder. I added the sentiment from the stamp …
