CAS and Cameo Cards

March 22, 2012

Most of these cards were made with dies and/or files from the Silhouette store. This heart is from the Silhouette store and the stamp/tag are from Papertrey Ink.

This was made using Lifestyle Crafts’ Feather Headband die. It’s one of my favorite dies and if you’d like to save 20%, use my special promo code, POP, at checkout.

This was made using a file from the Silhouette store and then embossed. Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

This card uses Papertrey’s cloud dies and sentiment.

This uses a Amira Flourish, a Memory Box die, and the butterflies are from the Silhouette store.

This card uses a Cheery Lynn die, Cathedral Lace, McGill paper punches for the rose, and a Spellbinders die for the leaves.

And this last card uses several dies, Amira Flourish (Memory Box), Spellbinders Labels 5, and Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two.

Sorry to keep the descriptions short and sweet, I’m coming out of a two day migraine and not feeling 100%. Thanks for stopping by!

I found this cute little envelope box in the Silhouette Online store. The file is called 3D Envelope Box Landscape. It measures @ 3×4 inches and is so fun to play with! I love anything mini and have made more mini card sets than I should probably admit. I didn’t make many cards for the box as I was just playing around with it. However, the size is great for writing a personal note, without having to write a book.

The butterfly is from Cheery Lynn Designs, the hot air balloon is from Up Up & Away (PTI), the heart is a Quickutz die, and the feather is also from the Silhouette Online store, and is a file called Feather Set. I will making gift sets with this envelope box!

I wanted something sturdy for the box and used 110lb Kraft card stock (from PTI). The Cameo cut it beautifully. I set my blade to 5 and had no trouble cutting it. Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Peas & Roses

February 16, 2012

I’ve been going through some of my stamps and apparently, have many that are neglected. Now how did that happen? This card was made with Year of Flowers Sweet Peas (Papertrey) and Wonderful Wings (Stampin’ Up). Papertrey’s Rustic White card stock has always been one of my favorites as a card base and I love it with Crumb Cake ink (SU). Background was stamped with Crumb Cake and the butterfly was colored with Copics.

Here’s another stamp I’ve had sitting in my collection for several years. It’s by Serendipity Stamps and has beautiful detail. If you’re not familiar with them, they have a gorgeous selection of stamps and fast shipping. I used Rustic White as the card base and added silk ribbon to finish the card. Thanks for stopping by!

Papertrey Sketch and Heart Challenges

February 13, 2012

I am great at doing challenges…late! This was for Papertrey’s Fifth Anniversary celebration. There were five sketches available and this was the one I was able to complete (even if I didn’t post it). The sentiment is from Everyday Button Bits (Papertrey).

Close up of the Twinklets Diamond Dust I used on the butterfly.

This was also for a Papertrey Challenge, to use hearts. I used Heart Prints (Papertrey) and their banner dies. The center die is Cathedral Lace (Cheery Lynn) that I trimmed down to fit, and I added some pearls to complete the card. Again, I didn’t post either card but really had fun putting them together.

This last card uses flowers from Friendship Jar Spring Fillers (Papertrey) and the sentiment is from Mat Stack 3 (Papertrey). Thanks for stopping by!

Wryn – Grow a Little Love

January 27, 2012

Have you all seen the digi stamps at Tiddly Inks? While browsing their site the other day, I came across one of their newer stamp lines, Wryn and Friends. Talk about cute! I bought Grow a Little Love to give it a try. These are the two cards I made using this stamp. I printed the images with an HP Laser printer and unlike my inkjet, the Copics didn’t smear the ink, yay! I will be going back for more…these were fun to play with! The heart die and stamp are from PTI, Tiny Tags.

Botanical Silhouettes, Hero Arts & More Paisley

January 19, 2012

I have to say that the more I use Papertrey’s anniversary set, the more I love it. I stamped the flowers in Purely Pomegranate and used Copics to add some shading. A white gel pen helped add a little detail and the sentiment was stamped on vellum. I used Distress inks for the sponging and did more blotting than rubbing to give the card some texture.

This card was made for SCS’s CAS Challenge and was a fun way to use brighter colors. The image was colored with Copics and accented with a white gel pen. Image (Butterfly Flower) and sentiment (Woodland Creature) are from Hero Arts.

I loved Paisley so much that I made another card with her. I combined two sets, Paisley and Bee Mine, to create this card. The sentiment is from Woodland Creature (Hero Arts).

It is really hard to see in the pictures, but Paisley’s hair, bow, ruffle, and shoes were cut with Silhouette flock vinyl and add a nice texture to her.

Thanks for stopping by!

KNK Gel Pen & Cameo Fun…Valentines Anyone?

January 4, 2012

Here’s a card using a silver glitter gel pen. I converted my Silhouette Studio file and imported it into KNK Studio and used the gel pen to draw the flourish. Using an exacto knife, I cut some of the rubber grip off of the gel pen to fit it into the blade holder of the KNK. It worked well with this pen, but when I tried it with the pink gel pen, it wobbled a bit and left a bad drawing. I will have to try and figure out how to perfect it as I have other colors I’d like to use.

Both hearts are Quickutz Nesting Hearts and the sentiment is from Winter Schminter (Whipper Snapper Designs). It was hard to get a good picture of the silver glitter gel pen but it really is subtle and so pretty in person. Pink silk embroidery thread was a nice added touch…and I’m done!

This card was made using a flourish heart and antique key from Silhouette and were cut using the Cameo. I cut two black keys and adhered them together, then sprayed them with Krylon Triple Thick Crystal Clear Glaze for some added texture. I think tying the bow took the longest, but all in all, it was a quick card.

My last card uses one of my favorite dies (ha, I have lots of favorites!), the branch die by Memory Box. I made this one for my husband as we’re celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary tomorrow. I can’t believe it’s been that long but can honestly say, he gets better with age. The hearts are an EK Success punch and the stamp is an anniversary set from PTI.

Thanks for stopping by!

Winter Penguin and Dollar Days at Lettering Delights

December 25, 2011

I had some Papertrey fun this past week and love the colors in this card. I used Winter Penguin and Banner Builder (both PTI), the matching dies for both stamp sets, and the Spiral Notebook die. The background stamp used on the notebook die cut is a Scrapblock from Cornish Heritage Farms and the sentiment is from Tremendous Treats (also PTI). Interestingly enough, we didn’t have snow this year for Christmas in MN. It was quite warm for us as we hit 40 today. What a beautiful day!

What’s the deal? Dollar Days! Lettering Delights has Dollar Days going on right now. Hop on over and check out all the savings…but hurry, they won’t last long! Don’t forget to get your FREEBIE!

Warm Wishes

December 10, 2011

Doesn’t this make you want to get cozied up by the fireplace with a good book, movie, or your iPad? This set is called Tremendous Treats: Christmas (Papertrey) and has the cutest images. I can see myself making mini 3×3 cards as well as more full sized cards. The heart tag and stamp are Tiny Tags, also by Papertrey. The tags and stamps are perfect for adding a little sentiment, but having it be a wonderful accent instead of the main focal point. Thanks for stopping by, stay warm!

Love Lives Here Holiday and NEW Sherri Berry!

December 9, 2011

Well it seems the stamp set (from Papertrey Ink) I almost didn’t get would be the one I’ve used the most this past month. I took this set out of my cart and added it back so many times that by the time I received my order, I couldn’t remember if I actually bought it! But there it was and I have to say, I really love it. For the first card I used Martha Stewart chunky glitter and love the soft shimmer it adds. I adhered it with ScorTape so it wouldn’t flake off everywhere. Love, love, love, this set!

Also…Lettering Delights has some NEW Sherri Berry graphics, the Holiday Frosting Collection. Isn’t it pretty? This collection includes an alphabet, 18 borders, 12 labels for tags and packages, 20 sparkling ornaments, 20 intricate snowflakes, and 25 coordinating papers and cupcake wraps…simply gorgeous.
