When I updated my blog in February 2016, I lost all the posting I had already done. I am doing my best to put the posts back up but I do not remember all the details for each card.  Unfortunately, the details for this project may be a bit scarce.

A family friend is welcoming a baby boy into their family soon. This is the card I made for them. I got the idea for the shaped card from Sandy Allnock’s YouTube channel.

I had fun with water colors and rock and rolling stamping on this card.

Details

Size:  Vertical side fold A2 card

Extra Details:  I started by water coloring the small panel with dye inks. While that was drying, I stamped and water colored the dress. I used water color pencils for this. Then, I prepped my card base. I used the same dye inks to stamp the background as I did to create the water color panel. I did some rock and roll stamping to create the multi colored flowers. I adhered everything together and stamped my sentiment.

I made this for a friend who was getting married. I love the fairy tale feel to the sentiment.

This banner is for the bridal shower that started the whole crazy stamping thing. After I made all the invitations and thank you cards, I knew I wanted the decorations to match as well. I started with this banner.

The whole banner

Details

Extra Details: I started by cutting the scalloped circles from some patterned paper on my Cricut machine. I also cut the white letters with my Cricut machine. I created each panel for the banner out of white card stock. I adhered the scalloped circles and letters to the panels. I stamped the floral images on each panel. I tried to make them look random and organic without making myself crazy. I also added a few bees for interest. After all the ink was dry, I hole punched the top corners and used white ribbon to attach them all together.

This is a wedding card I made. Lawn Fawn had just release the Happy Wedding stamp set. I loved the knot stamp in that set, but didn’t really want to buy the whole set just for that. So I used the twine that Lawn Fawn sends with your order to recreate the same look.

Details

Size:  Vertical top fold A2 card

Extra Details:  I dipped the twine in tacky glue to help it hold it’s shape better. The glue also adhered the twine to it’s panel. I very carefully inked two sentiments from Happily Ever After to create the greeting on the inside of the card.

Stamps Used: Lawn Fawn’s Happily Ever After and Penelope’s Blossoms

Paper: The patterned paper is a freebie from Lawn Fawn. It was included in my order.

This is the card I made to go with my gift for the bridal shower that I helped with. I wanted a card that matched the shower.
