Happy Day card by Gretchen McElveen

Hi there! Gretchen here with a card to share with you. I went really green with this one! Everything on this card is KI Memories. I used a 6x6 paper pad as the background patterned paper for this card. 

I used one of the Sticker Flip Packs full of fun stickers and bling as the sentiment for the card and to embellish it. I used lots of foam adhesive to adhere the stickers to give the card some extra dimension. Thanks for looking!

Two Fall Themed Layouts today by Patty Folchert and Gini Cagle Williams

So happy to share my first fall layout of the season with you here today. Autumn is my favorite season of the year, I love everything about it.  It begins with the sight of the changing leaves, the crisp cooler air, grabbing that favorite sweater and heading to the pumpkin patch.  Ahhh it is such a nice change, so naturally some of those favorites make it onto my layout.  

Blue Grass Festival 2013 layout by Patty Folchert

I started out with a bright cheerful base paper, Soup Staple in Yellow Salt. Then I laid out four wallet size photos across the top. Under the row of photos I added three border strips, one in floral, one in diagonal stripes and a polka dot.  Next using brown ink I stamped across the yellow diagonal “love today” repeated across the page. Those stamps are from the Cold Avocado Soup/XOXO small set. The orange chevron is actually a paper straw flattened and trimmed down and added with glue dots. Then I began assembling the postcard piece in the center, starting with layering the Chopped Green Onions paper under the postcard cutout from the Cold Avocado Bite Size Bits page. Then using the Cold Avocado/Better Together stamp in brown ink the “hello” and the heart square onto a scrap of Fresh Orange Juice. The leaves were cut from three coordinating papers using my Cuttlebug and embossed as well, then added to the page with 3D foam dots. Then you can add the stickers to embellish the leaf as shown and using Alphabean stickers create your title. Just to add interest I mixed Uppercase and lowercase letters as shown. Then I added a stampables wood banner piece for the sub title using letter stickers to finish the title. 

So there it is, a fun fall layout to capture some of your seasonal adventures.

Happy Fall Y’all,
Patty

Halloween Layout by Gini Cagle Williams

Sweet cards by Britt Bass and Beverly Sizemore

Hello lovelies!  Britt Bass here to share a pretty little love card featuring a new Jillibean licensed stamp set.

Just A Note To Say I Love You card by Britt Bass

I am in LOVE with this card – and this “Just a Note” stamp set from Jillibean!  

First I trimmed a piece of patterned cardstock and stamped part of my sentiment several times, lightly, on the lower right and upper left corners.  I attached the background piece and the coordinating tag element to the card.  ( I like how the word “you” is visible through the hole in the tag!)

Then, I stamped the little label shape and sentiment in coordinating colors.  To finish the card, I attached my sentiment label, button with twine through it, and some chipboard bubbles from my paper collection.

Two bright, fun cards by Patty Folchert

Today I am sharing a sweet card from the Jinger Adams Sweet Tart collection. This collection has some beautiful glitter papers and I used one of them on this card.

 Cherry On Top card by Patty Folchert

Using the small cherry print on white in the paper pad I created the card base. Then I added the blue and white glitter paper with the cherries on top of that base. Next I reached for the blue gingham paper and made a banner, inked the edges and tied the red bakers twine around and finished with a bow. Then I added the banner piece to the card as shown. Then I opened the Sweet Tart glitter tags and trimmed down one, for the sentiment and inked the edges and then added it over the banner toward the right side as shown with 3D foam dots.  Then I folded over some red gingham ribbon and added it to the bottom right. Add the vintage button with red heart goosebump on top of the ribbon. The thread two coordinating buttons with bakers twine and attach as shown. Final touch is the mini red goosebumps over the cherries on the tag.

Hope you enjoyed this sweet treat break, we will be having a blog hop featuring several more cards from the Jinger Adams collection soon so stay tuned!

Thankful Butterfly  Card
Here to share a few tricks today that add texture to any card. This card using Jillibean Soup’s new Cold Avocado Collection of papers and stamps is six layers with a combination of stamping and embossing. Let’s take a closer look:

Thankful For You card by Patty Folchert

Beginning with a white card base I started with the first layer of mat paper, the diagonal stripe. Then I embossed the dandelion paper with a small heart embossing folder and my Cuttlebug, after I inked the edges I adhered it on top of the other mat centered. Then I used the blue polka dot paper to make another smaller mat, inked the edges, curled up the corners and attached with 3D foam dots. The next mat was the yellow floral print which I stamped a floral design on first with light blue ink using the Cold Avocado Large clear stamp set. Using a hole punch I punched the corners to resemble a ticket stub and then attached it to blue polka dot mat with 3D foam dots. The small square heart tab was stamped using the Cold Avocado bite size bits paper, brown ink and the heart stamp from the Cold Avocado/Better Together small set and attached with a 3D foam dot. The sentiment pennant was done the same way on the same paper using brown ink and the sentiment from the same clear stamp set as just mentioned, then cut out in the shape of the triangle tip end and curled up and set in place with glue dots. The final layer is the wood butterfly and it was also stamped with turquoise ink using the “xoxo” stamp from the Cold Avocado/Large set and attached to yellow panel using glue dots. Here is a close up.

That was all it took to layer up some delicious Cold Avocado Soup into a heartfelt greeting with an extra serving of texture. 

Embossed, Stamped & Layered,
Patty

Two KI Memories card by Gretchen McElveen

Hello card by Gretchen McElveen

Hi! Gretchen here to share a card I made using a bunch of fun KI Memories paper, bling, stickers, and bakery twine (did you know KI has bakery twine??!!). I made this greeting card pretty girly with lots of pink, flowers, and sparkles! I cut the white flowers out of a sheet of paper from the Color Crush 6x6 paper pad.

You Are Lovely card by Gretchen McElveen

It's Gretchen again with another fun card using bright, bubbly products from KI Memories. I love these bold foam glitter stickers! I adhered the scalloped journaling spot to a piece of black cardstock first and then cut it out before adding it to the card. I thought the black border around the sticker helped it to stand out against the background paper. I adhered all the cute butterflies with foam adhesive to give the card some cool dimenstion. Thanks again for looking!

Hello people!  Britt Bass here to share a super cute card using a new Jillibean Soup licensed stamp set (that just so happens to coordinate with one of my FAVE Jillibean collections!)

A Note of Thanks card by Britt Bass

I was so excited when I saw this little typewriter and sentiment set in the Jillibean catalog! I ran over and pulled out my stash of Sweet and Sour Soup papers and got to work!

First, I trimmed a piece of the typewriter paper to create my background, and a piece of the typeface paper and a mat to create a panel.  I attached a piece of washi tape to the panel and adhered it to the card.

I stamped and colored my typewriter image and sentiment and attached them with foam adhesive.  Buttons finished the design nicely.

Happy OWLoween Card.

Hi there! Britt Bass here to share a cute Halloween card featuring an Echo Park licensed stamp set and Jillibean Corrugated clouds.

Happy Halloween card by Britt Bass

I really wanted to make a Halloween card for this month, but I also really wanted to use a more current stamp set, so I looked through my newest sets and when I saw this owl and branch in an Echo Park baby boy set – I just knew it would be perfect for my little Halloween card idea!

I stamped the owl and branch in colors that coordinated with my Halloween paper and attached some google eyes to give him a little SPOOKY flavor.  I layered the stamped images with a punched circle and corrugated clouds.  Everything on the card got a little ink around the edges to add definition.

I you find yourself without theme-appropriate stamps, use your paper and ink to set the theme, that way you can use the stamps you have and still achieve that look you want!
