Rose Card

Cream cardstock 5x14 folded in half

Pink Card stock layer 4 7/8x 6 7/8

Using the HFC Delicate Asters Collection paper I cut the largest shape from Stampin’ Up Labels collection.

I tied ribbon (from stash) around the Pink card stock layer and made a bow with bow easy. This is placed on the lower part of the card.

Then I stamped the Bella Rose Scroll on white paper with Versa Mark Ink.  I heat embossed with Ranger black embossing powder.  Using Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Old Paper, I sponged lightly on the scroll.  Then I cut it out carefully with scissors.  I stamped single rose from Classic Bella Rose Precut Set with Versa Mark and die cut it with Bella Rose die.  I also die cut the leaves and vine. I applied the single rose directly over the rose with the scroll using 3D foam squares.

I colored both roses with Tombow markers from the Jelly Bean collection: 743 Pink, 173 Green, 755 Red, and shaded with N-OO- blending pen.  I also used Copics YG-17 and E 27.

Friend Layout

I started with background paper from HFC classic editions.  I double framed the photo with two shades of Bazzill cardstock.  I stamped the barn from HCPC 3464 Barnyard Elements above the framed photo.

Using HCD 724 classic edition die and HCD Rustic Western Elements die I cut out the pumpkins and fence, windmill and ropes. 

I used HCPC 3482 Antique truck stamp set for the pumpkin with the flower.  I stamped on cardstock and colored with copic markers.  Then I added a bit of glitter with a glue pen.  In the center of the flower I put some glue and then Barbara Trombley’s  Elements.

I used an X-ACTO knife to slice the edge of the wagon on the background paper and then positioned the pumpkins in the wagon.

I stamped Friends Forever with espresso ink using a Hero Arts stamp. 

Happy birthday card

Card base is 5 ½ x 8 ½  and made with natural cardstock.  Using  Spellbinder’s  Card Creator Dies matting basics A and B I cut out the dark brown card stock mat and then the printed paper mat.  Using two smaller dies from the same card creator set I made the background with dark brown cardstock and then the smaller with cream cardstock.  I stamped with HCPC3464 Barnyard Elements with espresso ink.

I cut the windmill from brown cardstock using the HCD Rustic Western Elements Die.

I tied brown twine around the patterned paper mat and made a small bow.  Then I assembled the card.

I stamped Happy Birthday above the matted barn photo.
