Back to the stamp catalog (was this a good deal at Goodwill or what?) I think this little guy is so cute in his overalls, polo and ball cap. I colored him up with watercolor markers and mounted him over some printed cardstock.
The folded card base was selected to match the hat and stripes of the shirt.
Text is a rub-on with hand-written word underneath.

I really like how this card turned out. The image is from the stamp catalog and is popped up on foam tape. I used scrapbook papers for the blue stripes and the pink dot paper. I threaded ribbon through the slot in a printed tag and used it for the border between the papers. A second tag is glued to the bouquet.
The three stripes of stitching are a new rub-on 'runner' that I picked up (at 75% off).

Yep, really stamped. Nope, I didn't stamp it. I received the image in a swap. But I did color it my very own self. LOL! I used an embossed cardstock as a background and a colorful strip of stripes.
I added the text with acrylic bubble letters to read, "What's the buzz."

Combining the popular romantic elements of Chocolate and Roses this card features an image from the stamp catalog and colored up with watercolor markers. I mounted on chocolate colored printed cardstock and made slits to tie the ribbon around the stem.
After backing with a rose-colored folded card base I added the 'remember' sticker and a 'blessings' sticker that is a folded tab. It looks the same on the inside of the card.

After stamping and coloring this image I decided to add a stitched corner element. I used an embossed sheet as a background and layered it over a blue panel and a folded yellow card.
The text is provided by a clear sticker.

Wish I owned this stamp instead of just cutting it out of the catalog for coloring with watercolor markers. I got the background from a new printed cardstock pad and loved the layout as well as the color match.
I used a combination of stickers for the text :This Is Me Missing You."
Ddd
Colored up this image from the stamp catalog and trimmed with a craft knife. A new pad of printed cardstock was the source for the background and I chose red for the folded card base.
The text is provided by stickers.

I love how these elements came together. The rose is one of the foil 3Ds and the two layers of Spellbinder frames were received in a swap. I had a years-old scrapbook page-a-day calender that yielded the baroque background
I added photo corners and placed all on tan folded cardstock.

One of my groups names a Queen of the Month who collects goodies from all the others in the drawing. I found this illustration in some advertising and set out to find matching cardstock for mounting. The corners were rounded and the salmon is mounted 3D over the lavender.
The letter stickers being a match was just a happy accident, as was the braided trim.

I stamped the yellow base card with burgundy ink and layered on elements from the scraps on my desktop: dragonfly sticker torn off a recent package I received, stamped panel was a test of a new stamp, yellow lacy border is trim fron a diecut sheet, red-white-brown are all one layer and is trimmed off of the cover of a pack of printed cardstock.
Waste not - want not!

I decided to do another spring-up card to reinforce the steps and measurements in my head. For this one I added printed scrapbook papers to the face and the base and then featured a 3D element.
I may have to do more of these - really simple.

ASSIGNMENT: Make a spring-up card combined with paper embroidery.
I chose to stitch another of the quilt designs and it fits this card structure very well since it is a square format.
This is the first springup card I've made. I added printed papers behind the image and on the base to tie it all together.

This 3D image is one I printed some time ago off the internet on a free site. I like how the image escapes its frame - and I trimmed off the outer border of the frame to make it fit the card better.
I added a rich red printed paper over the green card base to further enhance the card.
The text is gold peel-off

I think these may be the last of the foil 3D sheets I bought last fall. Love them! Especially since they are punch out instead of cut out.
This one comes with the oval backing which helps with design. I tore a piece of printed paper for the left edge and added the image along with two extra flowers that were part of the page.
Purple folded cardstock and a silver peel-off greeting were the only other touches needed.

I created another countertop scene for this card but left it in portrait format because of the size of the 3D element. This is the 2nd half of yesterday's illustration.
I had the text sticker with some kitchen stickers and decided they fit this card.
I've had this 3D illustration printed off for literally years and just got around to cutting it out! When I did, I thought that 6 layers was really too much so I divided the step-outs into every other one and made two arrangements. One will be featured tomorrow.
For this one I turned the card to landscape and used patterned paper on the upper part to look like wallpaper. This allowed me to 'set' my pie on the countertop. I used a sticker to add a picture to the 'wall' to make this really feel like a kitchen.
The wooden spoon and fork are also stickers. I didn't add a sentiment to this one.

These tulips are from the surplus stamp catalog, colored with watercolor markers and trimmed with a craft knife.
The background is from a pad of printed cardstock I recently picked up and I stamped the text.
Folded green cardstock forms the base and I went with an asymetrical arrangement - even running elements off the edge for an edgy effect.
Ddd
More green cardstock, more striped paper, more rub-on greeting, more colored image. Different sentiment and image - same techniques.
Certainly made for a speedy card since all the elements were already there.

Back to using images from the surplus stamp catalog I bought at Goodwill. I used watercolor markers on this and trimmed it out with a craft knife. The striped paper with a built in border really sets off the image.
I added it all to a green folded card base and used a rub-on for the greeting.

An online friend designed some quilt blocks in paper embroidery. I think they work up nicely and I decided to feature this one on more of the yellow rose printed cardstock.
The corners of the stitched panel are rounded and I added gold peel-off corners to the rose cardstock. The text is done win letter stickers and I attached it all to a orange folded card base.
