Stamps only card......and blog hop winners!

Hi everyone!! I am excited to share with you my first project for Queen of my Craftroom's design team!! This week Michelle's challenge is to make a stamped card without using a Cricut. I have made a birthday card for one of my 4 nieces who all have birthday's in February!

Items used:

• DCWV card base
• Small scalloped punch
• Peachy Keen stamps 
• Pink by design happy birthday stamp

How to:

• This card was so simple to make, and I just love how it turned out! I started by punching the 4 scalloped circles and adding the faces with my Peachy Keen stamps! 
• I then added the white stitching to the edges, then attached them to the card base with a pop-dot. 
• Last, I added a happy Birthday sentiment to the inside of the card.

The sentiment stamps for the card are from Pink By Design, and the pumpkin face is from Peachy Keen. :)

Happy Birthday Cupcake!

My youngest sisters birthday is coming up here in a few weeks, so it was time to sit down and make her a card. :) I wanted it to be something fun as she is turning 12, and figured she would love this one!

• Black gel pen
• PBD Sentiment stamps 
• Memento ink
• blush 
• Blue marker 

How to:

• Cut card at 8inches from Wild Card Cartridge 
• Cut layers all at 8 inches
• Cut the "flame" off of yellow candle and attached it to the green candle
• Attached layers to base starting with the bottom of the cupcake, then the candle and last the white top later.
• I then stamped the face and colored in the eyes as well as applied the blush to the cheeks.
• Next came the sentiment stamps, both on the front of the card, as well as inside the card. 
• I then dressed up the front by making some stitch marks with my black gel pen.

Hey Cowboy!

This weeks Chemo Angle card was just so fun to make! I was trying to come up with a fun card for this week, and am really happy with how it turned out! I got my inspiration when I was cleaning up my messy craft area and was putting some paper stacks away. I started flipping through some patterned paper and when I came across the western themed paper the ideas just started popping up in my head of what I could make! I hope you enjoy!

Items used:

• DCWV patterned paper from All About Boys Stack used for card base
• Paper doll dress up cricut cartridge
• Tan, brown, red, black, blue and light yellow cardstock (from stash)
• Twine
• 2 inch square punch
• Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink
• Peachy Keen 3/4 inch Wide Eyes Kids Face stamp set
• Pink By Design Sentiment from "Spring has Sprung" set 
• Memento Ink
• ATG adhesive
• 3D foam square adhesive
• White gel pen

Like I said before, my inspiration came from the DCWV cardstock that I used for the card base. The base is a 12 x 6 piece of paper scored at the 6 inch mark to make it a 6 x 6 folded card. I cut out the "cowboy" and all layers at 5 inches and attached them all with my ATG gun. I added some accents to the clothing layers and hat by using my white gel pen to trace the detail cuts on each layer. I added some twine as a "rope" for my cowboy! I also stamped the face onto the cowboy using a 3/4 inch face stamp from Peachy Keen Stamps Wide eye kids face stamp set and memento ink. I used the 3D foam squares to attach the cowboy to the cardbase. I then used my square punch and some blue cardstock to make a tag to hand write "Hey Cowboy!" before attaching it, I inked the edges with my distressing ink, and attached it with a 3D foam square as well.

On the inside of the card, it is stamped with a sentiment stamp from the Spring has Sprung stamp set by Pink by Design!

Ballerina Birthday Card

This month, 2 of my nieces celebrated birthday's! One turned 4 and the other 2. For the 4 year old I made this card!

 (This picture was taken before I added the stickles)

Items used:

• Card base 
• pink paper cut to fit front of card base
• Cream, dark pink, light pink, and brown card stock
• Paper Doll Dress up cricut cartridge
• stickles
• Balloon and sentiment stamp
• Sentiment stamp from PBD 
• Peachy Keen face stamp
• Memonto Ink
• Adhesive
• 3D foam square adhesive
• markers
• white gel pen
  

I started by cutting out the doll base in the cream colored card stock at 5 inches, I then cut all the respective layers also at 5 inches. I also cut the pink background paper to fit the front of the card base and attached it using my ATG gun.

I used my ATG to attach all the layers together, and then used stickles along the detail cuts to give some definition to the dress, shoes, and hair ribbon. I also stamped the face of the doll with one of my face stamps from Peachy Keen stamps! I used my white gel pen to fill in the eyes on the face.

I attached the ballerina doll to the card using 3D foam squares. Once the Ballerina was attached, I added the sentiment stamp (from PBD) under her, as well as the balloon stamp. On the inside of the card, I added a sentiment stamp and the balloon stamp and then colored them in with my markers.
