Cuttlebug music thankyou

Posted: June 29, 2010 | Author: Heather | Filed under: Cuttlebug, Upsy Daisy | 1 Comment

As I have mentioned before my daughters are violinists, so I am always on the lookout for nice musical stamps or images. I have had this embossing folder for a while but I think this is the first time I have used it. My 15 year old is moving to a new teacher after 10 years with our current teacher. We prepared sushi as a gift for her and gave her this card when we attended the final lesson.

The daisy image was completed using markers directly on the stamp. I stamped the “Many Thanks” stamp on the vellum overlay, which unfortunately makes my picture look really out of focus.

Supplies:

Stamps: Upsy Daisy, All Year Cheer
Inks: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Only Orange
Cardstock: Old Olive, Vellum, Whisper White, Confetti White
Also: Artichoke eyelets, Allegro cuttlebug embossing folder

Natural Thanks

I repeated the layout I used in my previous card and just changed the colour scheme and the stamped image. As I wanted a white leaf on artichoke, I embossed it in white and then sponged over and around it before cutting it out. This year my children have been involved in an Outdoor education program at a campsite out of town. This was the thank you card for the owners of the campsite. The method was the same as my So Glad card and the inspiration, Joan’s gorgeous card.

Supplies:

Stamps: With Gratitude, Sincere Salutations
Inks: Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke, Handsome Hunter
Cardstock: Always Artichoke, Whisper White
Also: White embossing powder

So Glad

I am so glad to have a card to post after such a long time. I needed a birthday card for a close friend of mine plus a couple of thank you cards so I devoted most of Sunday afternoon last weekend to the task. This card was inspired by the fabulous card I saw on Joan Bardee’s blog Paperlicous. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to make one just like it. I cut a curve across a piece of paper to use as a mask, holding it in place to sponge before positioning the other half of the paper just above where I had sponged to create the white unsponged strip. I also did a similar thing inside the card. The little bird image is punched out and popped up.
