Day 15 Fall Season of Friendship

I just love fall and all the fun colors.  This Season of Friendship card focuses on just that. I had a leftover piece of chipboard I inked with Chocolate Chip and then placed over the stamped image.  The colors here are Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss and Caribbean Blue.  I added a bit of hodgepodge to give a little somethin somethin.

Day 14 Season of Friendship Summer

I just loved this card when I saw it, it reminded me of when my boys used to swing on the tree rope out in front of our house.  I am not sure who first created the card otherwise I would give them the credit.    I used various shades of green:  Always Artichoke, Old Olive and Garden Green to give the leaves some variety.

Joyous Scrapbook page

Even though my goal is to post a new hand stamped card to my blog each day, does not mean I have forgotten about scrapbooking.

This page is one that brings me joy when I have a tough day.  This is my Grandmother who loved to float in the pool.  The page is very simple but the picture says a 1000 words and isn't that what it's all about?   (ok,  put aside the thought of how many awesome scrapping products there are out there...)

It is all about what the photo says to you.

Day 13: Season of Friendship

I thought we all could use a bit of spring since most in this area have been out shoveling.
Today's card is the second of a set of four.

Day 12: Winter Friendship Card

Here is the first of four cards designed with the Season of Friendship Stamp Set by Stampin' Up!.  It may be a little difficult to see but what I attempted to do is to create several layers of color by using a brayer. I first stamped the tree with a Versamark pad then used clear embossing powder on it.  I then added the various layers of blue starting with the lightest color.  Notice on the bottom is a ground layer to anchor the tree.  I did this by using a torn post-it-note on the bottom and then moving the post it slightly between the brayed colors.  I then added the snowflakes with Versamark and embossed with Clear and Silver embossing powder.
The little bird added a bit of life the the card. 

Day 11: Season of Friendship Card Case

Today's featured item is not really a card.  It is card case.  Originally, this was a stamp set plastic case that I recycled into a card box.  Inside the case top is a little pocket for notes or stamps.  The case will hold up to 6 cards and envelopes.  I will post the how to this weekend.  check back the next few days for 4 seasons of cards using the Season of Friendship Stampin' Up! stamp set.

Day 10: Snowman Noel

This cute little guy could be used for a Christmas, Birthday or Thinking of you card.  the stamp set used was Cold Play, notice the star eyelets for his buttons. This was such a fun card to make and is just adorable.
