Masked Seaside Thank You Card

I made this cute card for another neighbor that's been helping me out around my house the last few days. I really like how it turned out. The mask effect is a nice touch and the colors blend together very nicely. Here's how to make it:

First cut a 6" x 9 1/2" piece of Stampin' Up! Sahara Sand card stock and fold it in half for the base, a 4 1/2" x 5 3/4" piece of Island Indigo for the middle layer, and a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white for the front layer. Click here for an awesome tutorial that I used sponge the background. Thank you Angie for sharing your beautiful work and easy to follow tutorial!

Here's a pic of the inside:

Seaside Thank You Card

I made this cute card for a neighbor that helped out around my house. Thank God he did 'cause I'm the most mechanically un-inclined person in the world LOL! I really like how it turned out. The colors look great together and Stampin' Up!'s Wetlands stamp set is perfect for masculine cards. Here's how to make it:

First cut a 6" x 9 1/2" piece of Stampin' Up! Sahara Sand card stock and fold it in half for the base, a 4 1/2" x 5 3/4" piece of Stampin' Up! Island Indigo for the first layer, and a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white for the front layer.

Next sponge on Soft Sky ink across the top edge and blend it toward the center of the card stock panel. Then lightly sponge the bottom edge with Sahara Sand ink and blend toward the Soft Sky ink. Next use a mask with a straight edge to sponge the horizon in Island Indigo ink higher than the Sahara Sand color. Then lightly sponge Wild Wasabi ink up both sides of the panel. Next sponge the reed images in Wild Wasabi ink then the sandpipers along the water's edge and the sentiment in Early Espresso. Then wrap the twine around the front panel, attach the front panel to the middle panel then the middle to the base and enjoy!

Beautiful Deer Birthday Card

I made this card several years ago for a male friend's birthday and he loved it. I used my Stampin' Up! Noble Deer and Lovely as a Tree stamp sets. I love how it turned out. The deer's so realistic and I love the monochromatic look. Here's how to make it:

First cut a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of black card stock and fold it in half for the base, a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of tan for the first layer, a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of brown for the second layer and a 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" piece of white for the front layer. 

Next sponge the front layer's edges with Stampin' Up! Chocolate Chip ink. Then using a Stamp a ma jig stamp the back treeline then the deer, the grass in the lower left corner and the pine trees in Chocolate Chip ink. Next stamp the sentiment, attach the front layer to the brown layer then to the tan layer then to the base and enjoy!
