Wish Big Seeing Double

Good morning! I don't usually post on the weekends but since blogger and I are finally back on good terms I thought I would take advantage of it and share with you. The cards today use the same supplies and are almost a copy of each other but since they were for identical twins I think it is only appropriate that the cards match so well. The colors I used in both card stock,Stampin' Write Markers and Classic Ink Pads are Not Quite Navy, Real Red and Crumb Cake. I also used Very Vanilla Card Stock. I used two stamp sets: Extreme Elements and Word Play which is on sale until the end of this monht. Definitely a great set to have. I used the 2 1/2" Circle Punch and the Big Shot and Circles #2 Originals Die for the Wish Big. The images in the background were off stamped to make them just a little lighter. Really simple cards that were easy to make and would be even easier to mass produce so you have quite a few on hand and they would be great in other colors for the girls in your life. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend and Thanks for stopping by, Tonya

Tangerine Flower Garden

Good afternoon, well I am back and all set up for Stamp Club tonight. I am going to share one of the projects we are doing tonight with you today and another one later in the week. I did a card with this technique last week after I saw it on Song of My Heart Stampers. I knew I would want to try it again when I received the new Flower Garden Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and I thought it would be fun to share with my club ladies. The colors I used are Tangerine Tango, Old Olive, Basic Black and Whisper White. I used the Watercolor Wonder Crayons and a Aquapainter to color the flower image. The sentiment is from the Word Play Stamp Set which is on sale this month. I stamped it with Basic Gray, punched out the sentiment with the Decorative Label Punch and sponged the edges with a Sponge and Old Olive Classic Ink. To add a little interest to the upper right corner I punched with Whisper White layer out with the Scallop Trim Corner Punch. It still needed something so my 7 year old suggested adding butterflies, so I cut those out with the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die using Tangerine Tango Card Stock. I used three on this card and it was just what the card needed. Thanks Jaxon! I added some detail to the inside of the card too and it is ready to mail. This would be a great pick me up card if someone is feeling a little down or is going through a hard time and what a great way to show you care. Have a great day and thank you for stopping by! Tonya
