WCMD 2014 Spiced Sunshine Stamps and Lawn Fawn Papers

This is a fun fold card, as it starts out as an 8 inch square but folds into a 4 inch card. I will include the instructions on how to create this card at the end of this post.

This is a picture of the opened card showing the front and back sides of the card. Let's take a look at the inside...

Instructions
Cut a 12x12" Lawn Fawn double printed card stock down to 8x8" for card base.
Fold in half lengthwise, then open and fold in half again horizontally. Open and fold again in half diagonally. Open and take the corners that now have triangles in them and push their folds in towards each other. Push entire card down and run over folds with a bone folder preferably.

Cut 6 squares out of selected Lawn Fawn double sided card stock at 3.5", slicing 4 of these into half diagonally to create triangles. Cut one 3.5" square out of Neenah's white card stock to emboss with brick pattern for front of card. With card closed, adhere bricks to front center of card. Open card up and adhere 4 selected triangles onto the same side as front of card into the center of their designated areas. Turn over and adhere triangles and squares into their areas. (Keeping in mind that any papers with words on them should be double checked for proper placement if you fold up the card.)

Stamp Spiced Sunshine Stamp (Dear Santa Set) stocking and color in with Copic Markers. Stamp stocking face and adhere to center front of card with double sided foam adhesive. Stamp sentiment on white card stock and cut out into banner shape on left side of sentiment. Using matching patterned paper, cut a banner out in same width as sentiment, but just a tiny bit longer. Adhere patterned paper banner to card using double sided foam adhesive. Attach sentiment to this banner with glue, offset a bit.

Stamp Spiced Sunshine Stamps Jolly Holly sentiment (Jolly Holly Set) and adhere to top left square on inside of opened card. Using Memento Dew Drop ink pads, create two leaves using Baboo Leaves, New Sprout, and Pear Tart by stamping the ink pads directly onto white paper. Stamp the two darker inks first as two leaves, then stamp lightest ink over the first two. Fussy cut. Color 3 clear Robin's Nest Dew Drops with Red Copic ink. When dry, adhere leaves and dew drops to center of top square where Jolly Holly sentiment was placed.

Using Memento ink, stamp Spiced Sunshine Stamps (Joy, Love, and Peace Set) tree sentiment in green, stamp the star on top in yellow, and the tree trunk in brown. Color the star in with Copic Markers let dry. Using a yellow Spica Glitter pen, color in the star again and let dry. Once dry, color over the glitter with a Sakura Clear Glaze pen to seal in the glitter. Fussy cut and add rhinestones. Adhere to bottom triangle of top right inside of card. Make sure to only place glue below the fold line.

Stamp Spiced Sunshine Stamps Sugar n' Spice sentiment (Gingerbread Kids Set) using Memento ink, punch out with fancy punch then trim with paper trimmer to fit upper left triangle on bottom left corner. Adhere in place. Stamp Spiced Sunshine Stamps Gingerbread Girl (Gingerbread Fun Set) on white card stock and again on patterned paper for her dress. Color girl with Copics E13, E15, E17 then stamp on face. Cut out dress portion on the patterned paper with the icing on her arms and below the icing at her legs. Color icing white using Sakura White Pen. Adhere dress to girl when white dries. Stamp hair on white card stock and fussy cut. Add rhinestone to base of pony tail and color with green Copic. Adhere to head of gingerbread girl. Stamp pocket, fussy cut and adhere to dress.

Owl Birthday Card Using Spiced Sunshine Stamps

Hello Sunshine! Here's a fun birthday card for all of you OWL lovers out there! Using the current Peachy Keen Challenge, I came up with this fun birthday card. I turned the sketch upside down on this one and moved the sentiment a bit to make room for my dew drops. 

Here's a look at the inside of the card:

And here's a picture of the finished card:

I sanded the card down for a different look. Notice how the sentiment follows the edge of the circle? I love that you can bend the stamp a bit to get a different look. 

Materials Used:

Neenah Cardstock

My Minds Eye

Spiced Sunshine Stamps

The Robins Nest Dew Drops

Joy Love Peace Christmas Tree

Happy Thursday crafty pals! Today I'd like to share a sneak peek for Spiced Sunshine Stamps next release. I decided to get a jump start on my Christmas cards this year, with this adorable sentiment tree!

I cut my card base then cut the dotted patterned paper a bit smaller than the face of the card. I inked my tree image using 3 different color greens. I stamped my tree image, stamped the trunk bottom center, and cut it to size. I stamped the star twice. Once on the top of the tree then again on patterned paper. I cut the star out on the inside of the line so it could fit inside the stamped image on the tree (use double sided foam adhesive for depth...I forgot to). I add my dew drops and a twine bow to finish off the card. 

Supplies Used:

Spiced Sunshine Stamps

DCWV Spring and Summer Stack

The Robins Nest Dew Drops

The Twinery Twine

Neenah Cardstock

Memento Ink

Happy Birthday Lorie!

Hi crafty friends! As most of you may or may not know, I'm a hard core Peachy Keen fan...very much addicted! I really am in need of an intervention program!  And right now a PKS gal is doing some celebrating! With some secretive work from the Peachy Queen herself (Kathy), this Birthday Blog Hop became possible! 

Having said that...This week a PKS member, I won't name names, (ahem....Lorie...shhh!) celebrated her 50th BIRTHDAY! Being the PKS fan that I am, you are probably wondering why I didn't use my PKS for Lorie's card. Well, I can explain...the answer is...I just couldn't decide what stamps to use! I sat for days trying to decide. I would take out sets, and lay em out then stare blankly at my craft table. I'd put em away and then repeat that process. For days...Then it hit me...keep it simple, use one of my own images and sentiment designs, and include all my favorite crafting embellishments on it!

Here's the front of the card:

As you may or may not be able to see...My favorite crafting items are Copics, embossing (on white cardstock), glitter (bees wings), twine, banners, and Dew Drops. I was able to get all of them onto this card! Lol!

Here's a look at the inside sentiment:

Don't know if this card made it's way to Lorie in time for her birthday, since it was really me racing against the clock trying to decide! But there ya have it! Happy 50th Birthday my PKS pal!
