Just Because Cards

Think Plaid!

I am helping a fellow demonstrator and friend with a virtual stamping retreat this weekend and one of the challenges is to come up with a card using Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray and Sahara Sand.

Now I love all of these colors and I love creating cards, but for some reason I am color challenged when it comes to color challenges and sketch challenges for that matter! LOL

I decided that I would use the New Sweet Ice Cream Bundle in the JJ2021 Spring mini catalog, so here it goes——-presenting my color challenged card! LOL

Begin with a Sahara Sand card base 5 ½ x 8 ½”. Score in landscape position at 4 ¼”.
Use the Stitched Shapes Dies along with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to cut out 6 of the smallest squares in Rococo Rose and 6 with Seaside Spray cardstock.
Layer the squares in a plaid pattern on a 3 ¾ x 4-7/8” piece of Sahara Sand cardstock.
Attach the plaid pattern panel to the Sahara Sand card base.
Cut the smallest stitched circle from the Stitched Shape dies in Rococo Rose cardstock and the smallest scalloped circle from the Layering Circles in Seaside Spray.
Stamp the greeting in Memento Black ink and layer the circles together. Use a Stampin’ Dimensional to attach the greeting to the card front.
Add an ice cream cone (Sahara Sand) and some scoops (Rococo Rose/Seaside Spray) and attach to the card front.

I hope these card colors inspire you to create something fun and of course I would love to see your creation. Feel free to email me you card, or you can post it on my Facebook page.

Hee Haw! Darling Donkeys

Just Because Cards / January 12, 2021

These little donkeys really are darling! If you have never read the book Wonky Donkey, it is adorable, especially if you have younger children or if one of your children is a teacher.

My daughter teaches first grade in Chicago and I am sure her students will enjoy the cute story about a spunky hanky-panky cranky stinky-dinky lanky honky-tonky winky wonky donkey!

Begin with a Basic Gray card base 5½ x 8½. Score in landscape position at 4¼”.
Next cut a 4 x 5 ¼”piece of Seaside Spray cardstock and using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine, run it through with the Brick and Mortar 3-D embossing folder.
Adhere the faux brick wall to the Basic Gray card front.
Stamp one of the darling donkeys in Black Stazon ink on Basic White cardstock and use the watercolor pencils and the water painter to color the donkey. Be sure to use the Stazon ink and not Memento Black so that when you watercolor, the ink will not bleed.
Again using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the Stitched Shapes, but out the donkey using one of the stitched circles.
Using the layering ovals, cut a coordinating scallop circle out of Basic Gray cardstock and layer the two together.
Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, attach the donkey to the card front.
Stamp Hee Haw with Memento Black ink on Basic White cardstock twice, cut out and attach to card front.
Next stamp You’re the best! on White cardstock and layer it to some Basic Gray and attach to the front of the card.
Layer a 4 x 5¼” piece of white on the inside.
