Growing In Unity (Day 4)

Today I am sharing a card for my Day 4 of Growing In Unity feature. You can click here for Day 1,  Day 2 and Day 3 


Today, I decided to go for a really simple, CAS masculine card. I created my own pattern paper look by stamping the ruler stamp repeatedly. Then I stamped the sentiment and mustache over it. Assembled everything together and yup!!! the card is ready.

I also want to welcome the new designer to our team, Suzanne Dahlberg of The Card Yard.

Today I am sharing a card, I made using the circles and diamonds stitched pattern die and matching stamp set. It has fun shapes to create your own pattern and the sentiments are lovely. First I used the circles and diamonds stitched pattern die onto the black cardstock and  then using the partial die cutting technique, cut the circle row with 2 of the circles. I then stamped and embossed the woodgrain pattern diamond from the stamp set. Colored in between the petal shape. All the shine of twinkling H2O makes this card so pretty in real.

Clean and Simple Class Card #3

My final card for today. I created this for the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge. Now, here I really went for the out of the box thinking and really am so happy to see the final outcome. Exactly how I had imagined. I created this card for the Day 9 (Texture-I added floss) and Day 10 (1 stamp 3 ways with one super creative-I will link all the 3 cards below) of Clean and Simple class. I used the sketch from the Retro sketch challenge.

For my card, I used the same Paper Smooches stamp from the Cyber Cafe stamp set. I made the cup into a face...lol

Isn't he super cool. I stamped another cup from the same set and made it his cap. The sweet smile is from one of the tiny steam stamp. For the hairs, I used 2 of the steam stamps from the same set...lol.  Love love love this.

Here are all the 3 cards together I created using the same stamp. Click on the photo to go to the detail post.

For my card, I inked the background, clear embossed the same cup stamp, which I used for my last card. Added a bit more color to the panel. I also created my own background paper using the stamp from the same set. I used Polka dot washi Tape.

Clean and Simple Class

First, I want to wish all my Chinese friends a very Happy New Year :) Wish you a wonderful year!!

So, I have a few cards to share today. I participated in the Clean and Simple Class but could not create everyday. Finally, I created this for the Day 4 white space.

I took the inspiration from the current Paper Smooches Sparks challenge.

For my card, I used the solid cup image from Paper Smooches Cyber Cafe stamp set. I used the kissing technique for the polka dot effect. Love the outcome.
