5X7 Relax and Renew

This card is very simple...I wanted to keep it that way since it seems to have so much going on with the DSP...but it's still an eye catcher.

 

 

I love the sketch this week...it was so much fun to play with...and easy too.

 

 

 

I used this ribbon a lot a long time ago...and I love it just as much now as I did back then...it's so soft and the colour is Soft Moss.

 

 

 

I love Cupcakes...so I will relax with a Nice cup of coffee and my cupcake...Yum!

5 X 7 Merry and Bright

I know your expecting to hear this...but I love how this card turned out...I really...really do...the splash of Gold Card Stock makes it look so elegant...this card is definitely in the running for my Christmas Cards this year...Shhhhh!!!!. 

 

 

 

The Gold Cording is from Stamping Up...they sold it in Silver and Bronze also...I'm very cheap when it comes to using it since they don't sell it anymore...it's not thick...but it is very strong...a really nice quality cording...too bad it's not available anymore. 

 

 

 

The white shimmery card stock that I used is also another retired S/U fav...I must downsize all my stuff...so I might as well use it...not doing any good sitting in the draw. 

 

 

I don't know where I bought the package of Metallic Card Stock...it has been a part of my stash that I was afraid to use because it's so pretty...I really like the Gold...BTW...the package also had Silver...and Bronze...sounds like the Olympics...LOL.

 

 

 

 

 Here is the recipe:

 

Stamp sets: bright Christmas and delightful decorations.

*****

Card stock: shimmery white...cherry cobbler...gold metallic...white...and white printer paper.

*****

Ink: cherry cobbler and midnight muse.

*****

Markers: gelly roll clear glitter pen.

*****

Punches: large ornament...apothecary accents framelits...and Christmas ornament folder.

*****

Additional supplies: stampin' dimensionals...S/U gold cording...sticky strip...and mini glue dots...simply scored plate...big shot...and fiskars.

5 1/2X 5 1/2 Thank You

Oh My!!!...I Totally Love this card...maybe it's the size of it...maybe because it was so easy to work with...or it could be just the colours...either way I sure had fun making it.

 

 

I stamped the apple in real red ink...I waited for a couple of minutes for the ink to thoroughly dry...then I used my Grease Pencil to blend and give it a softer look...I haven't used that pencil in years...and was pleasantly surprised it wasn't dried out...it was fun using it.

Note to self: use my grease pencil more often...lol.

 

 

 

 

I had an embossing folder...called Traffic Jam...that was perfect to use on this card...it seemed to actually coordinate with the squares on the card.

 

 

 

I added the dew drops to give the card a little sparkle...I love sparkle...lol.

 

 

 

This is the recipe

Stamp set: much appreciated and apple.
*****
Card stock: Kraft...whisper white...bordering blue...and old olive.
*****
Ink: rich razzleberry.
*****
Markers: stampin' write...and Rembrandt grease pencil.
*****
Punches: 1' square...rectangles die...and traffic jam folder.
*****
Additional supplies: water dew drops...crystal effects...sticky strip...snail...stampin' dimensionals...simply scored...fiskar...and big shot.
