Wendy designed some REALLY FUN CARDS for this group!!
For the first card, Wendy wanted to use this new die-cut from Paper Rose, Men Sitting on Fence
She combined this die-cut with some of the Stampscapes images. She used Cloud Strips, Country House, Tall Grass, and Pine Row
To make the card:
- On the off-white card stock, stamp the Stampscapes images using Sepia Versafine Ink
- Start on the top upper left corner and stamp your house
- Next, add pine trees
- Stamp the grass next, inking your stamp every-other-time so you get the tone-on-tone variations
- Lastly, stamp the clouds
- Cut out the Men Sitting on Fence using dark brown card stock and your home die-cut machine
- Use mounting tape to tape down the die-cut underneath the grass and the fence part. Use pop-dots behind the heads of the 2 men so they look like they are sitting up on the fence
Wendy used a combination of stamps and stencils to create this card... Ostrich Trio from Impression Obsession, Big Brush Hello from Stampendous, and Polka Dots from Darkroom Door
- Start with a piece of Chipboard Kraft card stock as your card base
- Stencil the background by using Tim Holtz Round Blending Tools and 2 colors of Distress Ink, Vintage Photo and Dried Marigold. Hold the Polka Dot stencil in place and softly apply the inks to create an interesting background
- Next, stamp out the Ostrich Trio TWICE on to Astroparche, Natural card stock using the new Pinecone Clair Ink pad
- Then, on ONE of the Ostrich Tio images, Wendy fussy-cut an Ostrich and the 2 other Ostrich mouths
- Wendy used Pop-dots to pop-up the mouths and the front Ostrich (isn't he just SO CUTE?!) onto the OTHER stamped Ostrich Trio. Then she fussy-cut the image again, this time around all 3 of the Ostrich images
- She used a Blush-colored Tombow marker to add a bit of color to the Ostrich mouths and eyes
- Stamp the Big Brush Hello onto Blush-colored card stock (Wendy used a paper with a light dot pattern) using the Pinecone Versafine Clair Ink and then used double-sided tape to adhere it to the front of the card
- The card is finished with a bit of polka-dot ribbon that is Blush and Brown toned.. which matches perfectly!!
Wendy thought it would be a fun idea to use this die-cut, Marching On, by Taylored Expressions
- Die-cut the Marching On image with Navy card stock
- Use 2 pieces of 4th of July themed paper to make the fireworks sky above and the parade float below
- Use double-sided tape to attach the pieces to an off-white card base
- Use Diamond Stickles and add a BUNCH OF SPARKLE to the fireworks in the sky!!
