One Wild Ride

It’s spring and with the beautiful weather it’s perfect for riding – and in my neck of the woods you can definitely tell! This morning when my son cranked up his rail buggy it made me think of the One Wild Ride stamp set – So today I thought I’d share a card I made using the set.

I’ve made the motorcycle the focal point of this card and highlighted it by using the Retiring Sunburst Thinlits behind it. I’ve got the complete supply list below for you so you can make one too.

Here are some more wonderful cards I received using this set.

And here is a wonderful fancy fold card that Jolene gave me.

I love how the bike hides behind the bottom flaps – a great little surprise when you open the card.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: One Wild Ride (141721/141724)

Inks: Basic Black Archival Ink (140931) and Dapper Denim Classic Ink (141414)

Paper: Basic Black (121045), Dapper Denim (141394) and Very Vanilla Card stock (101650)

Accessories: Sunburst Thinlits Dies (140617), Layering Ovals Framelits Dies (141706), Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies (141488) and Stampin’ Sponges (141337)

Bella & Friends

Puppies and kittens, oh my. Who can resist these adorable little friends? I know in my house spring always brings requests from our daughter, Kaitlin for a new addition to the family. LOL!

And since she mentioned it again the other day, it reminded me I had some wonderful cards I found in my office I meant to share with you that I received in swaps.

This first card is from Janet who used our Brights Collection Designer Series Paper Stack (138434) along with the Happy Heart Embossing Folder (137364).

And Marni gave me this card using the classic black & white combo

These next two cards Aparna created.

I thought the way she used the circle punch to create the cut out in the corners was clever. And the Moroccan Designer Series Paper (141645) teamed up with Delight Dijon card stock gives this card a more masculine feel.

And finally a couple of cards from Annmarie –

Quick and easy designs that you can make multiples of. And how about this card she made using the Pretty Kitty (141861/141864) and the retiring Decorative Label Punch (120907)?

Like I said, who can resist these sweet little faces?

Fun with Swirly Birds

Swirly Birds is one of those stamp sets that took me a bit to add to my wish list, but with all the wonderful swaps I’ve received I couldn’t wait to finally get my hands on it. Want to see some of the swaps?

This first card from Linda is a movement card or slider card that uses the Shooting Star Framelits Dies (141820).

I hated to see the Shooting Star Framelits on the list Retirement List since they are such fun and so easy to use. But good news you can still get them while supplies last! You can click HERE to see my video tutorial and other projects using this fun product.

The Swirly Birds (141749) and Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies (141497) are really VERY versatile.

And if you’re a Mickey Mouse or Disney fan how about these cards?

They are all great cards, right? I couldn’t pick a favorite really. How about you?

Suite Sayings

I made this bold, quick and easy card for recent Thank You’s that I sent out, but the layout is one of those versatile layouts you can use for any occasion!

I had fun with lot’s of with the different bold patterns in the Moroccan Designer Series Paper.

Don’t you love these type of layouts? Simply change the sentiment and you have a great birthday card! For this one I used the Tin of Cards Stamp Set (138946). I’m really sad to see this set go since I love the size and font used for the sentient.

I left off the ribbon from this one since I needed a masculine birthday card.

Want to make some of your own? How about a PDF tutorial? Well I whipped one up for you this morning, so you’re in luck!

Jar of Love

Mason jars are right on trend and the Jar of Love stamp set (141587) gives us lots of options for creating hand crafted cards using mason jar images for all kinds of occasions.

Check out these wonderful cards that I’ve received using the Jar of Love Bundle (142342).

This first card is a shaker card and I love the way that Diane made this fun colorful card by simply using the 1/2″ circle punch to create the jar spilling candy from it. Both the jars filled with candy and fireflies move when shaken. How cute, right?

And this card has a fun fold that opens up to make an impact.

So simple in it’s design, but it brings the wonder of summer with it.

And finally a card from my team mate, Cindy. It reminds me of that game at carnivals when you toss the ping pong ball into the jar – Don’t know why that comes to mind LOL! Cindy used the Hello You Thinlits Dies (137363) for the sentiment.

The Jar of Love Bundle saves you 10% when you purchase the stamp set and Everyday Jar Framelits together and who can resist that?

Seaside Shore

The other day I ran across some wonderful cards that I set aside to share with you and totally lost track of. Do you ever do that? I always think I’ll put it someplace safe so I’ll remember, but then I can’t find it! Sigh.

The good news is I found them now, so I’ll be sharing these and other wonderful cards that I’ve received in swaps over the next few weeks.

Today’s cards use the Seaside Shore stamp set found on page 93 of the Annual Catalog. It’s filled with wonderful bold images and a fun sentiment too. Perfect as we head into the warmer months.

This first card  was done in classic Black & White and includes lots of texture. I’ve included the supply list for you below.

And how about another monochromatic card done in Bermuda Bay – so bright and vibrant!

And here is another card Sandy gave me in a different swap using the set. It is a fancy fold – I really like the way she used the patterns to show off the stamped images.

Sandy made 3 cards with totally different looks using the same set – don’t you love that?

Anna made this wonderful birthday card using the Stylized Birthday (141828) as it’s focal point.

And my final card was given to me by Mary. I love the way she used Butterfly Basics (13881/138816/137154) image for the background netting. How cool is that?

Consignment Sale ends tomorrow

As I mentioned earlier in the week our Spring Consignment Sale ends tomorrow with 1/2 price day. There are still some wonderful deals – so why not stop on in between 9 and 2 tomorrow?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Seaside Shore (141622/141625)
