Embossed Star Card

Hello crafty people!

Today's card is another one I made during my 

embossing folder craze that I went through one evening.

I embossed a piece of white card stock with

Stars Assorted Embossing Folder from Darice

I then inked it with Mustard Seed and Carved Pumpkin Distress inks,

using an Ink Blending Tool.

I cut the panel into 2 pieces and adhered to a white card base.

I stamped the words onto the card with 

Orange County Color Theory Ink

from Studio Calico.

The inside is left blank to write my own message.

Thanks for coming by today,

I hope you are having a very crafty day and

will come again soon

Until then:

I'm Here For You!

Hi all!

Today's card was made with a couple stamp sets

that I picked up at a good price when I was shopping at

"Tuesday Morning"

I don't know if you have this store in your area,

but I'll tell you I just love it.

You never know what you'll find there and the prices

are great.

The sentiment stamp was in a pack of 6 small sets

at the price of $.99 for them all.
I found 2 of these packs and only had 2 or 3 duplicates.

For that price, how could I go wrong?

These little sets are usually at least $1.00 a piece,

and I got 12 for $1.98!

The chevron was from a different set and I 

stamped it onto a piece of white

card stock with 

Color Theory Inks from Studio Calico

onto water color paper.

The texture of the water color paper resulted in

the distressed look of the chevrons.

I used my MISTI stamping tool and I know

I could have made them more "uniform"

but I loved the distressed look,

I think it goes well with the look of the sentiment

that I used.

I cut the chevron piece down to fit the card and 

adhered it directly to the card front.

The sentiment says
"needed you to know I'm here for you"

and was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink

The inside is left blank to write a personal note.

I really love how this card turned out.

A nice clean and simple card.

Thanks for stopping in today,

now go check out what they have at 

Tuesday Morning,

you never know what you'll find there,

just like you never know what you'll find at

Kristie Kreates,

so come visit again soon.

Studio Calico Color Theory Inks

Hello blog fans!

A little while ago, I posted about winning some inks

from Jennifer McGuire's blog.

Today I have a couple more cards I made with those inks.

These are very simple cards.

I wanted to see how all the colors looks and how well they worked.

I stamped several of them onto white card stock and made a couple note cards.

I used "Filagree Border" (#57703) and

"Just a note" (#6405) from

Eureka! Stamps

Two very simple note cards, 

I love the colors and I love how this ink stamps.

And by the way, Studio Calico did not ask for this endorsement,

I just wanted to share these Color Theory Inks with y'all

Thanks for stopping by today.

Come again soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Zig Zags and Roses

Hello Blog friends!

About a month or so ago, I was fortunate enough to win a set of the new

Color Theory inks from Studio Calico

All I did was make a comment on a post on 

Jennifer McGuires' blog 

and I was lucky enough to have my number come up as the winner

 It's a new line and she sent me all 12 colors.

Check out these colors. 

 Are they awesome or what?  

And I have to say, I am loving them.

They stamp beautifully with nice even colors.

I found I didn't have much luck with using them with a 

blending tool, but for stamping they are great.

I made this card using a couple stamp sets I got on clearance at 

Joann's.

The flower is from the Vintage Flora set from Inkadinkadoo

The zig zags are from Fiskars Teresa Collins "Baby" set.

I used my Perfect Layers Mini Tools to cut a perfect mat 

of yellow card stock around the zig zag pattern.

I fussy cut the flowers, then adhered them to the card base with foam tape.
