More Soda Pop Cards

 

Made several cards using this fun stamp set from Catherine Pooler. It's so easy to create multiple images with the MISTI! I love the bright bold colors of this paper pad. This is one pad I am sure to use right up!

Feelin' Fizzy

After too long away from my craft room, I made up for it by spending all day with this really fun stamp/die set from Catherine Pooler. I am very glad that I bought the corresponding paper pad because it goes so well with the stamps, making it easy to create multiple cards - and so I did. I am submitting this one for the Sketch Challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. 

I cut a number of bottles to stamp in mass (which is easy to do with the MISTI), stamped and cut the bottle cap in both red and aqua (for use on other cards), then cut a scalloped circle to show off the bubbles. This stamp set is so fun! Thanks for the inspiration, FMS!

Cardmaking Stash Summit

I am participating in Justine Hovey's Cardmaking Stash Summit and these two cards were made using the sketches she provided. I took her advice and immediately went to my craft desk after watching one video (rather than continuing to watch others without creating anything). I tend to get lost in the 'searching for ideas' faze and then spend much more time looking for inspiration rather than actually making anything. So I was very happy I was able to create two cards right from the start!

I used leftover papers from a Simon Says Stamp card kit I bought some time ago. When I chose the flowered papers, I immediately thought of my Vintage Roses stamp set, thinking I could finally use some of the gazillion roses I stamped and saved from forever ago. Unfortunately, the pre-stamped colors did not match, so I did have to stamp new images. This set is absolutely beautiful, but it is very time consuming to line up all the layered stamps. I am so proud of myself that I decided to forgo all the layers and simplify this time. I only used three of the four layered stamps for the rose, and I purposely chose to use only that one rose so that, once I got the stamps lined up (thanks to my MISTI), I could quickly create multiples. For the leaves, I again chose a shortcut: rather than line up and stamp the individual leaves for this multi-leaf stem, I decided to just stamp the background layer and stop.

Sweet Valentine

I received the new Color Cubes this past Christmas and finally tried one out. I replaced the really dark almost-black green with black, which I think makes the colors pop. The black also grounds the pinks so that it doesn't look too Shockingly Pink. I think this color combo is appropriate for my not-very-pinky youngest daughter. She actually prefers Earth Tones, but I thought those colors would be too drab for a Valentine card. 

I stamped the cupcake with Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock, then colored with Copics and Prismacolor Pencil. The hearts were inked with shades to match the Color Cube selection. I added a few hearts via a stencil and also embossed and inked the center panel. 

This card was made using Sketch #720 at Freshly Made Sketches. Love their sketches & all their designer cards!
