Pleasant Pheasants without the Pheasants

-
I love this stamp set; obviously or I wouldn't have purchased it. I love that it can be a fall card, a Thanksgiving card, or a masculine birthday card. For this Thanksgiving card, I used a different fold than I've used before. In essence, this card is a card on a card. You'll see what I mean as  you look at the illustrations below.

The card fits in a standard medium envelope. I cut the larger Cajun Craze card base at 4-1/4" x  8-1/2" and scored it at 5-1/2". I then added the pieces of Country Lane Designer Series Paper to the inside and the folded-over section (4" x 5-1/4" and 4" x 2-3/4").
 The inner "card" base is simply 3" x 8" scored at 4" and can be centered and attached before stamping. Both stamped-on pieces of Whisper White card stock are 2-3/4" x 3-3/4".
 The images are stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with Stampin' Blends. I chose to color the pumpkins in Cajun Craze to coordinate with the dsp. Personally, I wouldn't have combined the Old Olive and Mint Macaron but those two colors were used on the dsp so it worked.

You Mean Everything to Me

As much as I prefer scanning my cards over photographing them, I find there are some disadvantages. My little banner that is stamped with "you mean everything to me" loses the 3D look as it gets flattened by the cover of the scanner. Kyla and I were just playing around with ideas while she was visiting (did I mention, she's my new recruit?) and this was one of the cards I designed. Gathering the ribbon slightly, cutting out the heart image and folding and trimming the "banner" across the heart meant a little extra fussing, but I really like the result. When I was all finished with the card, I decided to add a little sparkle by spraying it with a mixture of Champagne Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol. If you look closely, you can see some of the sparkle that added to the card, including the ribbon. When you actually hold it in your hands, you can see the glittery shimmer much more easily. Although I'm thinking about Valentine's Day, this card is not exclu

The Christmas Quilt bundle has so much versatility! I'm still using the Blooms & Bliss designer paper from last year's catalog as I design these cards. Today's post uses different designs from the pack from Saturday's post. Once again you can see the variety acquired using the same papers. The greetings on both these cards, as on so many others, come from the Best Birds stamp set. I love the fonts and arrangements of the word stamps in that set.  Products Used:  Best Birds photopolymer stamp set (13), 141525, $21.00 Quilt Builder Framelits Dies (15), 144673, $30.00 Quilt Top 6" x 6" Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, 144687, $8.50 Blooms & Bliss 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, discontinued Mint Macaron 8-1/2" x 11" card stock, discontinued Island Indigo 8-1/2" x 11" card stock (24), 122923, $8.00 Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" card stock (40), 100730, $9.00 Island Indigo Baker's Twine, disco

Easter Daffodils

"You're Inspiring" stamp set is perfect for Easter or Mother's Day or sympathy or almost any occasion. With Easter approaching, that holiday was the obvious choice. This card uses two Sale-a-Bration items as well as the "You're Inspiring" stamp set from the Occasions Catalog: the Basket Weave embossing folder and the Springtime Foils Specialty dsp. And of course I used the Stampin' Blends! I'm wondering if I'll ever use my markers, now that I have experienced the 3D effects of our blends that also allow me to color with no streaks. Unless you have the Springtime Foils dsp, you may not realize that the leaves on this sheet are not green.  You can color this glossy paper with metallic designs using your Stampin' Blends, which is what I did here. Products used: You're Inspiring rubber stamp set (8), W 145805, $27.00; C 145808, $19.00 Daffodil Delight 8-1/2" x 11" card stock (24), 119683, $8.00 Old Olive 8-1/2" x
