Copper Pineapple

Did you have one of these in your Kitchen growing up?  I think many of us did, Jello molds is what we used them for, Sunshine Salad.  Grated carrots, Crushed Pineapple and Lemon or Orange Jello.  Oh how I hated this salad, sometimes Grandma would add finely chopped celery.....UGH!!  When I saw this mini Pineapple in "Pop of Paradise" and the Copper embossing powder,  this is the memory it triggered!

And just like every trend it's back or maybe it never left!  In this weeks 'Old Time Pottery" ad.  Copper!!


This card is not quite what I imagined, but the direction it went when I started stamping today.  I used Night of Navy, Cucumber Crush and Watermelon Wonder to stamp the background with the Copper embossed Pineapples.  Washi Tape and a Watermelon Wonder snipped out as an accent.


And a close up.......I used Dapper Denim as the card base......and well it does not quite match!  LOL!!  Too late, imagine Night of Navy in it's place!

Affectionately Yours and Copper!

This Designer paper is Specialty paper, hence the price.  But the 2 pieces with Copper are so worth the Extra cost!  On this card I have used the Copper pattern Washi Tape and Embossed the sentiment with the NEW Copper embossing powder!!  Love this card and note the embossing folder used at the bottom!

Again paired this Paper pattern with Mint Macaron.  See the Copper Highlights in this paper?  The Sentiment is from "Pop of Paradise" and then backed with a Night of Navy and Daffodil Delight circles. 

Here is a close up showing the embossing folder using just one flourish and this Gorgeous Washi Tape!!  See all the Copper highlights in this paper!!  You only need a 4X4 piece of paper, you can get 9 cards from 1 Sheet!!

Love and Affection

I finally cut into the Affectionately Yours dsp.  At first I was NOT in love with these color combos.  But they are growing on me, especially when paired with Mint Macaron.  Love this color and it is a tiny part of this paper, but really pops when used with a Mint Macaron card base. 

On this card I was trying to do a different fold and failed, but I still love it and the fold is far from Fancy, but it is different and gives you a chance to showcase some of the Matching Washi Tape. 


Here is the cover, I stamped Flowers and leaves, then embossed.  Watercolored to fill in gaps. 
The Middle showcasing some of this Beautiful dsp!

And the final panel, with more embossing, the sentiment and that Washi Tape border!

Classic Banner for Dad

Once you get "Guy Greetings" out it is hard to stop making cards!  I paired this Classic Car stamp with the NEW "Thoughtful Banners".  This Banner punch is going to change the way you look at your sentiments!  So many words will fit in this punch from the matching stamp set, and you can think out of the box and fit words from other stamp sets. 

On this card I stamped the Car image full strength in Early Expresso ink on Crumb cake card base, then stamped again and again without re-inking for that shading effect.  Love this look!  Just remember if you only stamp 1/2 a car the next image will be FULL strength on the back end of your car!!  Been there done that, card base in the trash!!!

I stamped the Sentiment, then only 2 words (To A) on the card base.  Then inked up Classic and stamped it alone on Whisper White.  Stamped the Banner outline and then punched!!  Love the curve, it will fit so nice on many projects!




Thoughtful Banners Bundle 142330 Photopolymer stamps and Punch $35.00

Collar Fold for Dad


I have seen many cards using this super simple fold.  You can layer and make it a bit trickier, or keep it simple like this card.  The paper I chose is "Pop of Pink" from the new catty.  Black and White with a POP of Pink!!  More and more Guys are rocking a Pink shirt, so why not your guy?

The card base is Whisper White Thick card stock.  I cut the dsp 4 X 5 1/4.   Marked the middle at 2 5/8 and then cut in about 1 1/4 inch.  Fold back each side for your collar.  I did not even score, but if you want to that will make a crisper fold!  I stamped the Sentiment from "Guy Greetings".. So glad this Stamp set carried over, perfect for all your Guy cards!  I used 2 retired buttons.
