Variations on a Mother’s Day theme – 3

By kari@StampingMadeEasy.com | Filed in Big Shot, Cards, Dry Embossing

Last, but not least, is my final OSW card.  You can see the other 2 cards here.

Variations on a theme 3For this card I went back to the Big Shot and the embossing folders, this time choosing a floral pattern.  I also highlighted the embossing by brushing my sponge (in Summer Sun ink) along the raised portions of the design to help them stand out more.

I went back to the original mat of Basic Black, then Regal Rose.  I also stamped the inside of each of my cards (but I forgot to take a picture for you to see that).  I did stamp the envelopes and color them with my blender pen - you can see the envelope for this card peeking out to the left.  Additionally, I sponged the edges of my card with Regal Rose ink.

I hope all of my "Moms" had an extra special day!  Love you all!

Variations on a theme – 2

By kari@StampingMadeEasy.com | Filed in Big Shot, Cards, Dry Embossing

Here is the second card I made using my OSW (you can see the original post here).

Variations on a theme 2For this card, I embossed the background using my Big Shot and the dots embossing folder.  Because the background was dry embossed, I couldn't stamp my greeting directly on the background, so I stamped on a window sheet using black StazOn ink.  I attached the window sheet using pink brads.

For this OSW, I only matted it with Basic Black (leaving off the Regal Rose).  I really like the embossed background with the greeting floating on top.

Happy Belated Mother’s Day!

By kari@StampingMadeEasy.com | Filed in Cards

I apologize this is late, but I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day (even if you aren't a Mom, you have a Mom)!

First of 3 Mother's Day cardsI know it has been quite some time, but I wanted to share a card (3 actually) that I made for the Moms in my life.

I started with a modified One Sheet Wonder (OSW).  By modified, I only used part of a sheet of card stock, not a full 8.5" x 11" sheet.  I used the Versamark resist technique, where I stamped my images on the glossy white card stock with Versamark ink.  Then I sponged over the images with Summer Sun and Regal Rose ink.  Once that was dry, I stamped with StazOn black to pop the images.  I really like how these turned out and I hope my moms do to!

I cut apart my OSW and then matted this one with Basic Black and Regal Rose.  This went on my Whisper White card, which I stamped the greeting in Basic Black.  I also added a heart eyelet in the left corner and spritzed the front with Regal Rose marker and Color Spritzer.

Another Fifth Avenue Floral Rose Card

By kari@StampingMadeEasy.com | Filed in Cards

Here is another card I made using the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set (this was based on a class I taught last year).  I love how the rose is just barely colored with the Baja Breeze.

And don't you just love those corduroy buttons?!  This card is destined for another special person.  Hopefully she will like it.  What do you think?

Thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday!

By kari@StampingMadeEasy.com | Filed in Cards

My dear sister-in-law's birthday was last weekend, so I finally found the gumption to get back into my stamping room and make her a card that is almost as beautiful as she is.  She is currently expecting my new niece, and I know she doesn't feel beautiful, but she is!  I hope she enjoyed this card (and I hope you enjoy finally seeing something new on my blog again)!

I apologize for not posting in a very long time. We've had a death in the family and it's been difficult to get back in the groove of stamping. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and a great start to the new year!

Let it snow

By kari@StampingMadeEasy.com | Filed in Uncategorized

Let it Snow

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the inks look so delightful
So while the winter is cold and damp
Let us stamp! Let us stamp! Let us stamp!

It doesn't take much convincing
And I've brought a tool for crimping
Choose some paper, turn up the lamp
Let us stamp! Let us stamp! Let us stamp!

When we carefully press just right
How we smile as the image unfolds
Add some color, so bold, so bright
The result is a sight to behold.

Our projects are quickly drying
And there's new techniques for trying
So until we get finger cramps
Let us stamp! Let us stamp! Let us stamp!

Happy Holidays!!
