I made this quick card using the “Stars” stamp set designed by Tami Mayberry from Gina K. Designs.

The star images where stamped onto Pure Luxury White cardstock, trimmed out and mounted to the PL Soft Sand cardfront using dimensionals. The dotted line was stamped in brown ink twice and the sentiment was stamped in black ink.

The previews continue tonight with two more stamp sets – “Enjoy the Sunshine” StampTV Kit and “Stars” by Tami Mayberry.

I CASED the layout for this layout from [a card I designed] for a previous release party. The daisy image was stamped with black ink onto white cardstock and colored with Copic markers: YR31, YR23, YG63, YG67, E50, E53, C-1. I sewed along the left edge of the white cardstock and adhered it to a piece of black cardstock. The green cardfront was stamped with one of the bold images from the kit and then I adhered to main image to the front. the sentiment was stamped on white cardstock, distressed, and mounted with dimensionals.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Enjoy the Sunshine (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD), Olive Vivid (GKD)
• Paper: PL Grass Green (GKD), PL Black Onyx (GKD), PL White (GKD)
• Accessories: Copic Markers (GKD), Sewing Machine & Thread, Dimensionals

This was a fun stamp set to use. Tami Mayberry has several adorable star images and I used two of them on this card, stamped in blue and green ink on the white cardstock. I layered the stamped cardstock onto another piece of white cardstock after distressing it and then adhered it to the new Sweet Mango cardstock.

The sentiment from Elegant Flowers was stamped onto PL Slate cardstock and I set an eyelet in the right side before mounting to the card with dimensionals.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Stars (GKD), Elegant Flowers (GKD)
• Ink: Tart Pear Memento (GKD), Aqua Vivid (GKD), White
• Paper: PL Sweet Mango (GKD) PL Slate (GKD), PL White (GKD)

It’s the time of year again for graduation ceremonies and open houses. I made the gift below for a friend of mine who is graduating from High School.

The star images are from the Lazy Days of Summer stamp set from Gina K. Designs. I stamped the images onto the PL Aqua Mist, So Saffron, PL Green Apple, and PL Slate cardstock with Vivid Aqua, So Saffron, Vivid Olive, and white ink respectively. The images were punched out with a 1-3/8″ square punch and adhered to the cardbase with dimensionals. The cardbase is PL Soft sand cardstock that I applied VersaMark using the direct-to-paper technique.

The gift (a book) is wrapped in silver wrapping paper and the card, in a clear envelope, is secured with a length of yellow ribbon.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Lazy Days of Summer (GKD)
• Ink: Vivid Aqua (GKD), Vivid Olive (GKD), VersaMark (GKD), So Saffron (SU), White
• Paper: PL Soft Sand (GKD), PL Green Apple (GKD), PL Aqua Mist (GKD), PL Slate (GKD), So Saffron (SU)
• Accessories: Square Punch (SU), Dimensionals, Yellow Ribbon

This is another card that I’m entering in the fair along with a coordinating envelope.

The stamp sets that I used are Oval All from Stampin’ Up! and Lazy Days of Summer from Gina K. Designs.

I stamped the oval sentiment onto Pure Luxury white cardstock four times – using Rich Cocoa, Real Red, So Saffron, and Baja Blue ink. I cut each letter in the word “YOU” from a different colored image and adhered them over the brown image. I then stamped the image onto Kiwi Kiss cardstock using Kiwi Kiss ink.

Over the Kiwi Kiss cardstock, I layered a piece of Rocket Red cardstock that I wrapped a bit of yellow ribbon and white fiber around. The oval image was then trimmed out and mounted to the green panel with dimensionals.

I added two bronze brads to the upper left corner and then mounted the green panel to my Base Weight Pure Luxury White cardstock.

The Pure Luxury white envelope was stamped with several star images from the Lazy Days of Summer stamp set in coordinating colors of ink.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Lazy Days of Summer (GKD), Oval All (SU!)
• Ink: Rich Cocoa Memento (GKD), Real Red (SU!), So Saffron (SU!), Baja Blue (SU!), Kiwi Kiss (SU!)
• Paper: PL White (GKD), PL Rocket Red (GKD), Kiwi Kiss (SU!)
• Accessories: PL White Envelope (GKD), Bronze Brads (SU!), Yellow Ribbon (SU!), Bella Fiber (SU!), Dimensionals

I’ll be posting a few cards that are alterations of graduation cards I made the past few days. This first one uses the same layout, colors, and main images that I used on several boys’ graduation cards. On the graduation cards though, I used the word “Congratulations” rather than “Celebrate”.

The stamp set used on this card is the new “Lazy Days of Summer” stamp set from Gina K. Designs. I’m so glad that she included the bold stars in the set along with the other cute designs. They work well for so many different occasions!

I stamped the largest star on Pure Luxury white cardstock using Bordering Blue ink and then stamped the smaller star over the large one using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

The white panel was layered onto the new In the Navy cardstock and a little In the Navy ribbon was secured to that panel with two silver brads (included in the Eclectic Summer kit on StampTV).

I printed the Canvas digi paper onto Kraft cardstock and mounted the In the Navy  panel to the cardfront with dimensionals. The sentiment was then stamped onto the cardfront with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Lazy Days of Summer (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD), Bordering Blue (SU!)
• Paper: In the Navy (GKD), PL White (GKD), Kraft (SU!)
