Nature Trees ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

I created today's card for my nephew's open house last Sunday.  I had been so busy the past week prepping and planning for my parents'  50th Anniversary open house that I kind of forgot to make my nephew's card. :(  Sunday afternoon an hour before his party started I quickly whipped out this card.  To be honest I'm not really sure what I think of it! lol  


I guess I was in the mood to watercolor, but didn't have the time to put into that like I usually do.  This was a quick "whip the colors on and hope it turns out" kind of card.  I started by stamping a few of the same tree images with Hazelnut Blend onto watercolor paper.  I guess I did second generation stamping because I inked the stamp up, stamped it on scrap paper, then stamped the image onto my watercolor paper.  Once that was on I grabbed my large blending brush and used Green Olive, Turbo Teal and Sour Lemon splashes to add leaves and the blob of grass under the trees.  I mixed them up in different ways to get varying shades of greens starting with the lightest color and getting darker each time I added more leaves and grass.  To finish it off I added two strips of Hazelnut Blend card stock at the bottom and also a bit of gold and dark roast silks mixed together.

Begin Adventure ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today I have another masculine card to share with you.  This was also one of my May stamp a stack cards.  


It was as simple as sponging the sun on using couple different yellows (I die-cut out a circle and masked the card stock so only the circle was open to sponge the sun), sponged some more around the sun with more yellow, stamped the airplane and birthday greeting, assembled the card and put on the twill rope (which is a freebie with a $50 purchase!).

Lemon Drop

Rainbow Bubbles Birthday Bunch ~ A Group of Fun Stampers Journey Cards!

A couple of days ago I said I'd  have a few more cards to show you that talked about a technique I used on each card.  Notice the hearts, triangles, stripes and honeycombs?  Those were all created using Modeling Paste from fun Stampers Journey and four different dies that they offer.  An easy technique to add just a little pizzazz or fun background to any of your cards.



As you look at each of the cards a little closer you'll see that I didn't try to make the modeling paste perfectly smooth or only have the shapes on my card.  I wanted them a bit rough and even let the paste go over the edges of the die-cut paper so there were edges here and there.  The first one I made was the honeycomb card and it isn't quite as thick as the rest, but that was my first try at it.  I know I will be using this technique in the future for sure! :)

This is the card I posted a couple of days ago...





I made a fish just like this one a week or so ago and loved the color of it, so I made this one the same color.






I did a bit of a watercolor wash on this card.  Since the background was a little darker than the other cards I kept my fish white and covered them with Journey Glaze and Sparkle Dust.



I didn't add any glaze or sparkles to this card because I'm sure I'll give it to a boy and I'm positive most of them aren't into that as much as girls are.  I did make the fish a couple of different colors to make him pop out a bit more from the card.


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Hit the Road Birthday Card and Video ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Hey Everyone...I have a couple of fun masculine cards to show you today.  
My nephews have their birthdays a few weeks apart, so they have a birthday party sometime in between.  I usually make them the same card, but sometimes change the colors up a bit.  That's what I did on their cards this time around.  The first card I made was the Candy Apple truck and the second one is Huckleberry Fusion truck.  
I thought I would love the red and think the blue was just ok.  I honestly don't know which one I like better!  Both are fun and pretty quick to create.  Notice I didn't stamp my trucks onto Candy Apple and Huckleberry Fusion card stock.  Instead I stamped them both onto Whip Cream card stock, did some masking and sponged the trucks.  I use my sponges in a different way depending on what I'm sponging.  I've made a video to show you how I used my sponges on the trucks...Enjoy!
