A Few Quick Cards From Our Little Dreamer Paper Pack...

Tonight, I started out my cards with a 6 x 6 square of the unicorn themed paper from our Little Dreamer Paper Packet.
None of them were very elaborate by design.
I wanted to show you something simple and quick. 

I cut the 6 x 6 down, in a One-Sheet-Wonder fashion.
I then played around with the pieces, layered most of them and came up with the cards you see here.

In addition to the Little Dreamer Paper Packet, I also used some of our Fundamentals Paper Packs, Our Whimsy Two Tone Cardstock Pack, and our Say it All Stamp Set. 

The Say It All Stamp Set is only available until July 31st.
If you haven't purchased one, don't miss out.
The set is perfect for most any occasion and is only $13.95, not bad for 19 phrases.

Most of the sentiments were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. 

"So Grateful" was stamped with the Lagoon Mini Pigment Ink Pad.
The Lagoon Mini Pigment Ink Pad is part of the Adventure Exclusive Inks Mini Pigment Pad Set.

One of the "Just For You" cards has sparkly embossing power on it.

I used VersaMark Ink to make it stick, then the Craft Heater to set the sentiment.

This particular card also has Tuxedo Black Memento Ink sponged around the edges.

Christmas in July

When you have a large family and plenty of friends, you have to start your Christmas card making early...  

So this evening I sat down and started making a few Christmas cards.

I utilized the Jack Paper Packet from Close to my Heart, for the red and green patterned paper. 

The sentiment is a simple, "Just for You" which is perfect for a gift card inside or a card attached to a gift.  This versatile stamp is part of the Petite Perks "Just For You" stamp set. This cute little set has 4 different sentiments. 

As an incentive from me, any order placed in the month of July on my personal website or with me, for $20 or more, will receive a free Petite Perks "Just For You" stamp set. 

How fun is that? A FREE stamp set! 

Once your order is placed, I will ship you the set absolutely free! If you do not already have a 2 x 2 acrylic block or larger, you may wish to add that to your order. It is the recommended block for this FREE stamp set.

I kept the embellishments simple for this one, and only added two Rhinestones, and added a bit of ink sponged around the edges. 

I also added this card to a few Challenges:

My "Red" Cards for the Rainbow Swap at Splitcoaststampers

Yesterday, you had an opportunity to see my "Green" cards,  for the Rainbow Card Swap over at Splitcoaststampers. Today I present to you, my "Red" cards. 

Originally, I had planned to go with a Christmas theme, since you know it's already July, and Christmas will be upon us before you know it... However, as I was reorganizing some paper kits and what not, I came across a pack of paper, that I just had to use. 

For this swap, all 8 cards are different, but for the most part they have the same basic components. They are all stamped with the same sentiment from Close to my Heart. I used the "Just for You" stamp from the Petite Perks set "Just For You". They were all stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. All of them have a white or beige layer inside for the sender to write a message. 

Here is my main card, I am submitting for a few Challenges as well...

The challenges are:

Cards In Envy: Red White & Blue Challenge

Cute Card Thursday: Anything Goes #484

Jo's Scrap Shack: Anything Goes #195

Here are a few extra photos of some of the other 7 cards. 

I hope the other ladies in the group enjoy them.
