Masculine Birthday card

I designed this card for Stamps In the Mail this month.  I wanted to make a card that was more masculine.  I started by stamping a leaf using Mossy Meadow on the top center.  Without re-inking my stamp I stamped the same image up-side-down over lapping the first image a little.  I then re-inked the stamp and stamped again.  Repeat on both sides.  

 

I just love the Woodland Textured Embossing Folder.  I embossed a strip of Mossy Meadow card stock and then adhered that to the bottom of the card.  I cut a piece of Mellow Moss 5/8" Striped Cotton Ribbon a little wider than the card.  I adhered it where the Mossy Meadow piece met the Very Vanilla.  I wrapped the extra bit of ribbon around and taped it. You could use Snail or glue dots to get the ribbon to stay behind the piece.

 

Below is what I used to make the card:

Lost Lagoon Leaves

I have seen many samples using the Chalk Marker or White Gel Pen with the Lighthearted Leaves stamp set.  I was inspired by a card by Linda Higgins and changed a few things to make the card below.

 

 Do you ever look at a card after you have made it and just love it?  That is how I was with this card.  The white really pops on the leaves on the Lost Lagoon Card stock.  If you use the Chalk Marker you will get a slightly lighter white.

The Silver Cording Trim is in our Holiday Catalog.  It also comes in gold.  If you do not have a Holiday Catalog yet, let me know and I will mail you one.

Thanksgiving Card

I have been working on cards using Lighthearted leaves for my next Stamps In The Mail.  I wanted to have a Thanksgiving card for this first month.  This card layout is an oldie but goodie.  I have used it for just about every occasion.  Brian King made a similar card using Vintage Leaves stamp set.  Both sets coordinate with Leaflets Framelits.  

 

The card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2"

Vanilla Layer is 4" X 5 1/4" (I cut 2 of these and stamped a leaf on the second one and put it on the inside of the card.  It is much easier to write on vanilla than Always Artichoke)

Always Artichoke 4 1/4" X 3"

Vanilla center piece  4" X 2 3/4"
