Sunday Happiness Card

sunday

This Card is one of my summer favourites, but I can imagine using it in the middle of winter when I want to feel a bit of summer cheer on a rainy day.  I love the colours and the glitter and how it jumps out at me with cheerful exuberance.  My inspiration was the ribbon.  I started with it and found some colours and things that I thought might work.  And of course I wanted to have a cherry that looked shiny and almost real!

Materials

Stampendous clear sunday stamp
Stampendous clear ‘enjoy’ stamp
Swirly background stamp of your choice
Versafine Onyx Black ink
Versamark Ink
Twinkling H2Os
Ribbon
Prisma Glitter
Diamond Glaze
Corner Punch
Double sided tape
Glue Pen
Double sided foam tape

How-to

  1. Cut cardstock to desired size and use corner rounder on all the edges except for the background card
  2. Stamp background  middle layer in Versamark ink
  3. Stamp sunday in Versafine on white cardstock
  4. Stamp ‘enjoy’ in Versafine over background middle layer
  5. Attach ribbon over middle background layer using double sided tape
  6. Paint Sunday with Twinkling H2Os
  7. Use a glue pen when you want the Prisma Glitter, then add glitter
  8. Put a dot of Diamond Glaze on the cherry and let dry (30min)
  9. Glue everything together – use double sided foam tape for the Sunday + its background layer et voilà!

Twirling Ladybug Card

Posted on September 5, 2009 by Shauna

This is one of my favourite cards.  It’s quick, simple, and elegant.  The other day I made a whole big batch of them and they sure look pretty sitting on my desk.  I’d say one card would take around 10min.   My inspiration came from a friend who mentioned how the swirl looked like a bug’s flying path.  How cute!  A sweet little message can be added to the bottom, or inside.  I always like to add glitter, so I would add some to the swirl with my glitter pen.

Materials

Denami stamps – N24 (swirl) and A76 (ladybug)
Versafine Ink in Onyx Black
Twinkling H2O
Diamond Glaze

How-to

  1. Cut cardstocks to a size that looks about right (we don’t do precise measurements in my world)
  2. Stamp swirl stamp in black, going over the edge of the cardstock
  3. Stamp ladybug in black
  4. Paint in ladybug using Twinkling H2Os
  5. Add a dallop of Diamond Glaze and allow to dry
  6. Assemble the card using double sided tape

This would be my first entry to test everything out.

I wanted to test that I can even have an image on here.  The whole point is to show cards, so here is a sample bit of one that I made for my husband before we were married.
