Farmland Masculine Cards

I always like to have an easy card for my Monthly class to make. This is the one. 

This is stamped with the Farmland  3D Shading Stamp from Spellbinders. Stamped on Oatmeal Cookie Cardstock. 

I used Hazelnut Blend Fusion Ink to stamp and Dark Roast Cardstock for the matting and Dark Roast Fusion Ink for the Sentiment. 

That's all that's to it. Easy Peasy.  I also made one with Thinking of You and Happy Father's Day. My class will have their choice. 

Lakeside Card

Here is the first Card for my April Card Class. 
I'm working on making Masculine cards this month since Father's Day is right around the corner. 
I always struggle making masculine cards but Fun Stampers Journey has this great Stamp Set called Lakeside, which makes creating with this set so easy.

All of the background was colored with various colors of Pan Pastels. I used a combination of the Rich Sorbets and Party Pop.
I then stamped the scene from the Lakeside Stamp set using Black licorice Fusion Ink and clear embossing powder. 

I then filled in more color in the dock, trees, grass and reflections in the water with more pastels. 
Then I mounted it on Black Licorice Cardstock, then onto a white card base. 

Here is the third and last card for my March Class. One of my favorites. It can be used for Mother's Day or any Occasion. 

This card is called the Barn Door Fold. 

The Designer papers I used are from The Good Life Prints. 

I white embossed one of the flowers from the Handpicked For You stamp set. I then colored the vase in with White Pan Pastels and the leaves and some flowers with alcohol Markers. I left the Roses Blue to match the paper.
The colors of Cardstock used are Blue Lagoon and Hay Stack.

Baby Bow Die used with Haystack Cardstock. AND, This die is only $5.95. 

The Sentiment on the inside is from the Stamp Set Inside & Out. 

The second card for my March Class

My class had a choice of Mother's Day or Birthday. 

The base is Rustic Rose Cardstock.
The next layer was dry embossed using the Mystic Impressions Embossing Folder.

The Oval, Vine and Flowers are from the Floral Oval Die Set. 

Celebrate Mom is from the Annual Celebration Stamp Set.

A Good Day for a Good Day

Here is the first of three cards for my March Card Class.

This card was so much fun to design and put together.  

I started by spraying the card base with Gold Shimmer Spray.
When that dried, I stamped the Wildflower stamp on the bottom using Summer Days True Fusion Ink. 
Using Whip Cream cardstock, I cut another panel with the Sun Rays Die then stamped the bottom of that with the Wildflowers stamp and Summer Days Ink. 

I cut out a Doily with Whip cream cardstock, and the Doily Die. That was adhered directly to the card base right behind the circle of the Sun Ray Panel. I trimmed of any edges sticking out. 
Then adhered the Sun Ray Panel using Foam Tape to pop it up. 

Using the Pierced Circle from the My Sunshine Die Set, I cut a pierced circle from Mirror Gold Cardstock and attached it to the Sun Ray circle. 

I cut a Butterfly with the Artful Butterfly Die Set in both Blue Lagoon and Cool Pool Cardstock and adhered them together onto the Gold Circle. 

Using the Swirl Tags Die Set, I cut out a tag and stamped the sentiment from Remarkable You Stamp Set and sponged with Blue Lagoon Ink.  A tiny bow was cut fro m Blue Lagoon Cardstock using the NEW Baby Bow Die Set.

I finished the card off with some Gold Sequins and Gold Fashion Pearls on the Butterfly. I brushed Sparkle Silk on the the top layer of the Butterfly. 

Hippity Hoppin

Another cute Easter card

The background was used sponging a combination of Sweet Pear True Fusion Ink and Limeade Splash fusion ink through two separate Stencils. 

Stencils used were Wallpaper Stencil and Bubble Bubble.

I then used Journey Circles Die with Limeade Splash Cardstock. Then used the Hexagon Dies with Whip Cream Cardstock. 

The Sentiment, Daffodils and Bunnies were all stamped using the Hippity Hoppin Stamp Set with Black Licorice True Fusion Ink and Heat Embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. 

All images were then colored with Copic Markers. 

Card was finished off by tying Peaches and Cream thread around top layers.  

Easter Greetings

This card uses the cute FSJ Peep Peep ATS Stamp Set. The image was colored with Copic Markers.

The Background is Pretty Amethyst Cardstock which I dry embossed with the Inspire Embossing Folder.

I then used the Ornamental Arch Dies on Whip Cream Cardstock. 
The Basket and  Sentiment were stamped with Black Licorice True Fusion Ink and Heat embossed with clear Embossing Powder. 

The Chick was stamped onto Pineapple Smoothie Cardstock, highlighted with Copic markers and cut out by hand. 

A Pineapple Smoothie Gingham Ribbon Bow was added as the finishing touch. 

Easter Blessings

This entire card is heat embossed with Rose Gold Embossing Powder. 

I started with a layer of Peaches and Cream Cardstock.
The next layer was stamped with clear Pigment embossing ink using the Modern Frame Stamp Set and covered with the Rose Gold Embossing Powder and heated. 

An Oval was cut using the Modern Frame Die Set. It was dry embossed using the Bright Day Embossing Folder. 
That oval was then edged with the clear embossing ink and then Rose Gold Embossing powder and heated. 

The Cross and Easter Greetings were stamped using the Easter Blessings Stamp Set and heat embossed using the Rose Gold Embossing Powder. 

The leaves were die cut with Mirror Gold Cardstock,  and the flower with Peaches and Cream Cardstock  using the Modern Frame Die Set.

A Triple bow was made using the Gold Twine and adhered behind the flower. A gold pearl adorns the center of the flower.
