Here is another Ketto stamp, this is Charlotte. I’m thinking I could have done a much better job with this card, but the image is so sweet I decided to post it anyway. She was colored with Copics, airbrushed, and accented with a white gel pen. Thanks for looking!
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how large the images were from GinaK Designs. They are not too large, but rather give a nice focal point to your card. Anyway last week’s Ways to Use It Challenge over at SCS was to use Specialty Paper. I had this gorgeous paper pack from K&Co and liked the gold foiling. I thought it matched perfectly with my image. I added some paper piercing, oregon rain drops and chocolate satin ribbon to complete the card.
The ovals were cut using Petite Oval Nestabilites…these ovals are perfect for sentiments, as well as large images. I bought mine at Cut@Home and got them with the VIP 40% coupon (look for the VIP Coupon tab). Marcie is wonderful and has always been very professional and quick to answer my questions. Thanks for looking!

Here we go! I made this into a shaker card. I embossed the the last layer of the hydrangeas but decided I wanted to have a little more fun with this one, and so the shaker card was born. The circle frame has faux clouds sponged onto it so it wouldn’t be so stark. The butterflies were stamped, cut out and arranged to the outside of the shaker box. Main colors are Soft Sky and Purely Pomegranate. The panel has a sewn border and I added a few flowers to match the Monarchs. Click on the pictures so see a closer picture. Thanks for looking!
Another card using Fresh Fruits! I love the possibilities with this set and wanted to keep this card simple. Pineapple was stamped in Old Olive and So Saffron. I used a 1/4″ paper punch and Old Olive card stock for the clear Oregon raindrops. DP is from SS Secret Garden (Stampin’ Up!).
I told myself that I didn’t need this set (Natural Beauty) because I had Touch of Nature. These two sets are similar and I really didn’t think I should have both. However, I ended up trading some stamps for this and am glad I did. I watercolored and cut out lots of flowers and leaves and layered them until I got the look I wanted. I have been having fun with the 3D look lately so I hope you don’t get too bored!
Here is another card made using this set by Inkadinkado. The scalloped circle was punched with the giga punch (Marvy) and Elegant Eggplant is the main color. I bought some Oregon Raindrops from Pink Hedgehog Paper Crafts and used a small punch to punch out card stock and adhered it to the bottom. It changes the raindrop from clear to any color you happen to have…love it! There is also Dazzling Diamonds around the raindrop. Three petals were stamped, cut out and attached for a nice, 3D effect.
My friend, Karen, bought me this dollar stamp at Michaels last month. She was laughing when she gave it to me, but it really is a cute stamp! I made several cards with it and really like how they turned out. I watercolored the images and used Cool Carribean to shadow the roses. I also used Crystal Effects to add a glaze over one pair of roses, a very cool look. Main colors are Always Artichoke, Purely Pomegranate and Cool Carribean.
I enjoy being creative, whether in the kitchen, out with my camera, or in my craft room. Cozy on up and take a look around. I appreciate each and every visit, thanks for stopping by!
