Card made with Heartfelt Creations Blazing Poppy Vase Cling Stamp

Hello,

The card I want to share today was made using the Heartfelt Creations Blazing Poppy Vase Cling stamp set and the Ton Always Cherry Blossoms stamp set.  I stamped the floral image using Memento Tuxedo black ink and the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto a piece of 3-3/8” x 4-5/8” Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Premium White card stock.  I colored the image with Copic markers BV01, BV02, BV08, E44, G43, G94, G99, V13, W5, W9.  The image was layered onto a 3-5/8” x 4-7/8” piece of black Recollections card stock. The layers were cut with Spellbinders curved matting basic dies. The matted image was layered onto an A2 Paper Source Plum card base.

Butterfly card made with Fun Stamper Journey Products

Hello,

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I have been working on several cards. I’m building my personal supply of cards to have on hand to send out to family and friends.  I also want to participate in one or two holiday craft fairs this year so I am also making cards for those fairs. My aim is to have 1000 cards completed by mid-November.  That should give me enough cards for my stash, the craft fairs and for donations to charity.  So far I have 73 cards that are pretty much complete.  I’ve created 162 card fronts that need to be made into cards.  This weekend I trimmed card stock and stamped 88 images that need to be colored.

Below are six cards I have just completed.  As you can see, it is the same card done in different colors.

All of the cards are made with Fun Stampers Journey products.  The butterfly is from the Beautiful Wings stamp set.  It is a three layer stamp.  The butterfly was stamped on a whip cream cardstock mat cut at 4 7/16 x 3 5/16, the colored mats were cut at 4 5/8 x 3 3/8.  The mats were mounted on 5 ½ x 4 ¼ whip cream top folding card bases.  All of the cards were layered inside with the same mat as the outside. No sentiment inside.
