Here we are with a collection of DIY greeting card ideas, which will come to your use all over the year.
Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is a neutral palette; whites, grays, ivorys, browns or black. I chose browns for this card - Basic Beige and Early Espresso. The floral image was stamped in Early Espresso on Basic Beige cardstock and "colored" with Clear Wink of Stella. The W.O.S. picked up the ink from the stamped image like using a Water Painter, adding subtle shimmer, as well. I love the circle dies in the Spotlight on Nature bundle! I think they're going to be used a lot in the near future. That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori at Loritamarie Crafts. Stampin' Up! products used: Stamps: Spotlight on Nature Paper: Basic Beige, Early Espresso Ink: Early Espresso, Clear Wink of Stella Accessories: Spotlight on Nature Dies, Basics 3D Embossing Folders, Neutrals Adhesive-backed Sequins

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mums, hope you had a great day with lots of love and hugs from your family. I have had several ladies with me today doing the One-sheet Wonder Class, we had a lot of laughs and really enjoyed the day. During the class we talked about some basic card sketches which are quick and easy to do and how they could be used in their card making. The ladies went home with 12 cards from one piece of designer series paper. I am sharing the cutting template (at the bottom of this post) and card instructions with you.

I saw a card on Pinterest using this layout. I chose different papers which made my card a different color than the one I saw. The sentiment I used is from Stampin' Up! as well but different than the card I CASED. My "stash" of designer papers needs to be used. Although I won't be able to use up what I have in my lifetime, you will be seeing more cards this week using some of them. Last Wednesday we picked up two of our grandchildren who were on Spring Break. We love having Tucker and Taryn come and usually have some fun things to do. Making a double batch of cut-out Easter sugar cookies was high on the agenda as well as making a double batch of chocolate chip cookies for Grandpa. I still have a box full of Easter candy molds from "back in the day" when I was selling Easter suckers and boxed pieces of all kinds. I had intended to sell them this year but forgot so I brought one of them out with some candy melts for them to make some little chocolate bunnies. Needless to say Taryn latched on to several of the molds and took them home to play with there. The kids went home on Saturday but we went to their home yesterday for a grand Easter Dinner. Their father was a chef at one of the popoular restaurants in the Amana Colonies when he was going to college. He is now a pharamacist but could sure open his own restaurant the way he cooks! Thanks for coming by today! Thank you for coming by today! UPDATE: To answer a question about the flowers in the middle section of this card. I fussy cut them from the designer paper. The designer paper I used was from the SU "Painted Blooms" designer paper. I used two sizes of Spellbinders square dies for the layered squares. The card base is 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". The white layer is 5 1/4" x 4". The colored card stock is Pacific Point from SU.

I enjoyed doing this one and will definitely dig into my washi stash again before too long :)

Oh I do like using sketches & Narelle has created this fun one for our new Just Add Ink challenge. I loved the stars but was in a butterfly mood so this is what I made. Looking at the sketch & my card together, I may have taken some liberties with the scale of the elements, but I think you can definitely see the sketch. It turned out much bolder & brighter than my initial idea but I still like it. Maybe the other idea will come out another time :-) It's pretty sparkly in real life with the glittery butterfly, bermuda bay & silver sequins, & silver foil but maybe not showing so well in the pic. Try clicking on the pic to see a bigger version. I really like the effect of the Softly Falling folder I embossed the Cherry on Top paper background with. The actual paper has falling sprinkles on it too so I thought the embossing would enhance it even more. The team have used the sketch in all sorts of awesome ways so see them all here on the JAI blog. I hope you'll play along & link up with the challenge too. Thanks for visiting today & I hope my card gives you ideas to try. See you next post.

Every few months we have a Mystery Card challenge with my Flowerbug's Team. I put together packets of papers and elements and send them to those who opt in. They have a month to make a project using the supplies in their 'Mystery' packet and of course there are prizes too. This month I featured papers from the Dainty Flowers designer paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. Here's my card: I had multiple pieces of the designer paper, pieces of Mossy...
On a grey day - a cheerful card to lift my mood..... This stamped panel was another of the "bits" I had lying around, so being in my messing about mood, I decided to do something with it. Again, not a good day for photography! The stamps are one of my favourite sets from EI. The main panel : stamped in black stazon, coloured with various distress inks and then triple embossed. I went for a (bold for me) straight stamping onto card for the background again with distress inks. There was a reason why I when for a simple, clean card today, and that was to practice for a forthcoming venture by my cuttling mate Chrissie, who along with her friend Mandi are setting up a NEW weekly challenge blog called "Less is more". This is a technique which I like and so I hope to join in with their first challenge on Saturday 5th February. If you also like this style of artwork, why not pop over to their new blog and join in - you will be find some very interesting and talented crafters at work, and Chrissie and Mandi would be real chuffed to see you. To everyone who has left comment over the last week, you have cheered up me no end! Thank you soooo much, I really do appreciate your support. Today has been a much more positive day, although my desk has yet to be glued! I have even had a thought or two outside the box - it must be your encouragement!
