Kidoodles Christmas

Yesterday I posted a card with the Halloween stamp in the Kidoodles Stamp Set, today I made a card using the Christmas stamp. 

My card base is Wild Wasabi cardstock, with a layer of Real Red, and then two pieces of Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Series Paper. I stamped my little elf in Wild Wasabi ink and added a bit more color with coordinating markers.  I scrunched some Real Red Satin Ribbon and placed it between the two different pieces of DSP.

The Kidoodles set also has stamps that can be used to make a Get Well, Thank You, Birthday, and Congratulations card.

I used the following:

Cardstock:  Wild Wasabi #108641, Real Red #102482, Whisper White #100730

Designer Series Paper:  Holly Berry #124004 (Holiday Mini)

Stamp Set:  Kidoodles #122865 wood or #122867 clear

Kidoodles Halloween

Today a Halloween card, tomorrow one for Christmas, both made using the Kidoodles Stamp Set.  A great set if you want a nice variety of cute, kid friendly designs and sentiments.

My card is Cajun Craze cardstock and an added layer of Frightful Sight Designer Series Paper which was embossed with the Spider Web embossing folder.   I like how the paper with the spiders went along so nicely with my large stamped spider.  I added a bit of color to the spider using markers, and punched it out with the Decorative Label punch.  For added dimension I punched another Decorative Label Punch in Cajun Craze and cut it in half taking away the center so I could layer it behind the white punch. 

Check back tomorrow for my Christmas card.

Nature Silhouettes

When I need to make a masculine card, I like using my Nature Silhouette Stamp Set, and pairing it up with some rich masculine colors.

My card base is Marina Mist cardstock, followed by a layer of Cajun Craze that was embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  To this layer I added a strip of Chocolate Chip cardstock, and  a piece of Marina Mist 1/4" Grosgain Ribbon.  My images were stamped on a torn piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Chocolate Chip ink, and a torn piece of Marina Mist was added to the one side.  I also stamped my sentiment onto another torn piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, and placed it on top of the ribbon using dimensionals.

Sweet Birthday Card

Crystal Effects was added to the center of my "lollipop" and I have a card that looks good enough to eat.

My card base is Whisper White cardstock, and then a layer of Daffodil Delight that was embossed with the Stripes embossing folder.  Next I added Tempting Turquoise cardstock, a piece of Big Top Birthday Designer Series Paper, another layer of Tempting Turquoise, and then my stamped image was put onto Whisper White.  To add the little string I took my Paper Piercing Tool and poked two small holes on the sides of the stick.  I threaded a single strand of White Baker's Twine through the holes and then tied it into a knot.  I added Crystal Effects to the lollipop, and made sure to let it dry.  My sentiment was punched out with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch which was trimmed on one side.

Some pretty designer series paper, paired with coordinating cardstock, and the elegant Elizabeth Stamp Set were used to create my card for the newlyweds.

Wisteria Wonder is my card base with a layer of Pink Pirouette and Flirtatious Specialty Designer Series paper, and then another layer of Pink Pirouette and Whisper White.  I stamped my Elizabeth Stamp in Elegant Eggplant, and then inked my sentiment in Wisteria Wonder and punched it out and placed it in the middle.  I could of stamped the sentiment directly onto the oval, but I liked the layered look.  To add a bit more dimension, before the layers were placed onto my card base I punched them with the Ticket Corner punch.

Fall Triple Treat Flowers

I'm pulling out some of the Fall Colors, such as Cajun Craze, and adding some Champagne Glimmer Brads to make a Fall Thinking of You Card for this month's stamp class.  It's funny how I forget about some of the colors, but thanks to the changing seasons and holidays they all eventually get used.

River Rock cardstock is the card base, and I added a layer of Early Espresso and then two smaller layers of Cajun Craze and Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper.  My Triple Treat Flowers were inked in Cajun Craze ink and then punched out with the Fancy Flower punch, and champagne glimmer brads from the basic collection were placed in the center.  In addition,I added a piece of Very Vanilla 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon that was placed between two scored lines of the Early Espresso cardstock.  My sentiment was placed on with dimensionals and sponged with Cajun Craze ink on the edges.
