Another High Tide?

Yes, I just can't get enough of this set!  I keep stamping lighthouses and then I have to do something with them; so you may just get sick of my creations!  (Previous cards here and here)

This time I stamped it on a small piece of Whisper White paper:

And I did a lot of sponging.  The lighthouse was stamped in Marina Mist and Night of Navy (so cool!).  I then masked it (stamped it on a piece of sticky note and carefully cut it out, and placed the mask over my lighthouse) so I could sponge a sunset.  I had already stamped the water and sand, so I also laid pieces of sticky note paper over the stamped images and then went to town with lots of colors:  Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Island Indigo, Elegant Eggplant and Night of Navy.

I mounted my panel to a piece of Whisper White.

The card base is Night of Navy; a piece of Marina Mist took a trip through the Big Shot with the Seaside Embossing Folder, and I stamped the sentiment from Watercolor Wishes on Crushed Curry cardstock using Night of Navy ink.  The little seashell is from Seaside Shore (and was cut using my contraband Dave's Dies).

Enamel shapes in Crushed Curry and Night of Navy finish off this lovely card.

Like lighthouses?  Get High Tide, and see if you can stamp just one!  I dare you!

Gettin' the Mojo Going

Getting back from a 2-week vacation can be tough.  And getting back from a 2-week vacation with a crummy cold makes it even tougher.  So getting up the other day, after flying (and sitting around airports) for 12 hours, a time change from east coast to west coast, AND feeling crummy, I was having a hard time in the Craft Cave...my mojo was just gone.  Yet I wanted to make something...ANYTHING!

I've had the Watercolor Wishes Card Kit sitting on my desk for months.  I mean MONTHS!  I bought it after seeing the samples and because I loved the fonts and the sentiments of the stamps included in the set.  And then it sat on my desk.  And sat...and sat...

Until last Friday!  When my stampin' mojo had yet to put in an appearance and I really wanted to make something.

I opened the box and got all giddy!  So many card bases (20!).  And so many tags/labels and accessories.  And oh, those stamps! <squeal!>  It even comes with Stampin' Spots of Night of Navy and Watermelon Wonder ink pads.  The ONLY thing I needed to add was some Tombo Multi-Purpose Glue.

So I went to town.  Now remember, I said my mojo was gone, so I ONLY created straight from the directions.  I did change out the stamps on some of the cards, as I didn't really want a "You are so loved" card when I needed more birthday cards.  But other than that, I followed the directions.

And look what I got:

I will totally enjoy sending out these pretty cards.

So I'm recommending this fabulous kit for anyone who enjoys making cards, loves a good font, and wants lots of cards without a lot of work.

Sometimes a Little Sympathy is Needed

Although sympathy cards are ones I never want to need, there are times when nothing else will do.  And having one available when you need it is always helpful, because it's at that moment when you least want to have to sit down and create a card.

I've been wanting to play with the beautiful Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper, and today is the day.  The colors are perfect:  Very Vanilla, Basic Black and Sahara Sand.  Calm, peaceful...And the prints are just gorgeous--florals, lace and subtle stripes along with some small prints.

So to make my sympathy cards, I took a piece with muted flower outlines and allowed it to be the focal point of my cards:

Stunningly simple.  The DSP makes the card.

The card base is Sahara Sand, with a layer of Basic Gray, then the DSP.

I stamped the sentiment from Watercolor Wishes (exclusive to the wonderful kit that makes 20 beautiful cards) using an old Basic Gray ink pad (wait for it--the NEW Archival Basic Gray is coming soon!) on a piece of Sahara Sand and cut it out with my Chalk Talk Framelits.  I paper pierced the bottom, and then adhered it to a strip of Basic Gray, flagged on both ends.

I felt it still needed something; and then realized that a bit of Silver Metallic Thread looped loosely behind the tag would be just right.  (Hard to see, but look closely; it's there).

I added a piece of the DSP to the envelope flap, and these are ready for friends who are having a difficult time.
