Graduation Card

I have another quick card for today.  This is just a really simple graduation card for my niece. The stamp was a freebie from a challenge at the Art Impressions Blog.  I couldn't find it on their site, so I think it has been discontinued.  The sentiment was done using the Simon Says Stamp die & stamp set "All Occasion Banners".  The white panel was embossed using Stampin Ups Textured Impressions "Stripes".  The windows were cut using Nestibilities Circle Dies.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Pure Innocence "Freckles" Card

Today's card is using the sketch from the My Favorite Things "Get Sketchy" Challenge.  It's been a while since I have pulled out one of their stamps.  This one is my favorite Pure Innocence stamp called "Freckles".  These are easy to color and always work well paper pieced.  The paper is from My Mind's Eye Quilting Bee 6x6 paper pad and the sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp die & stamp set "Expressions for You".

Bridal Shower Card using My Favorite Things Umbrella Die-namics

I have a second post today for a simple bridal shower card for my niece.  I didn't want to get to carried away since I have to put it in the mail.  For the umbrella & sentiment I used the My Favorite Things "Umbrella & Stamp set.  They no longer sell the Die-namics and coordinating stamps together and I think just the stamp set is no longer available, since I didn't find it on their site.  The papers are from the Heidi Grace "Sunshowers" 6x6 paper pack, which I purchased at Joanns.

Art Impressions "Shake Your Booty" Birthday Card

Today's card is for a friend who is celebrating his 92nd birthday.  I wanted to make him a special card, so I pulled out the Art Impressions "Shake Your Booty" Disco Set.  I purchased this along with a female version when AI was having a sale.  These sets come with an Action Wobble, so it makes for a fun card.  I stamped and colored the image, then paper pieced the shirt and colored in the flowers.  I fussy cut the image and popped him up with pop dots.  The papers are from the Studio Calico "Daring Dear" 6x6 collection  and the sentiment was computer generated.

 For the inside of the card I stamped the second image, colored it with my Copics, glued it to another layer of white card stock and then fussy cut it out.  I used the same papers and layout then attached the stamped image using the Action Wobble.  The inside sentiment came with the stamp set.  If you never have seen or used an Action Wobble with just a little flick he is shaking his booty.

This was a fun card to make, hope you enjoy it.

PTI Make It Monday - Layering Pigment & Dye Inks

Today's card it a simple Thank You card that can easily be mailed.  My inspiration comes from this weeks Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #152 challenge.  Heather Nichols shows a technique layering dye and pigment inks.  For my card I used the PTI stamp set "Turning A New Leaf".  I stamped various images using white pigment ink.  After it dried I stamped images from the PTI set "Meadow Greens", which is one of my all time favorites in dye ink.  The sentiment is also from the same set.  If you look closely you can see the leaves that were stamped in pigment ink on the white card stock and the stamped images.
