Can't Thank You Enough

I am loving this months Creative Cafe' Card Kit of the Month!  

This months kit is called. Petticoat Fashion.  It includes a 6 x 6 pack of Echo Park Petticoats and Pinstripes, a bunch of beautiful cardstock, a fun embossing folder, and lots of luscious ribbon.

For my first card using this kit I decided to make a fun fold card...I know...you're shocked, right???

To create this card start with a 7 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of cardstock.

I scored on the solid vertical lines and cut on the horizontal dashed lines.

When it folds up it looks like this.

I cut patterned paper panels to fit each of the portions of the card and then adhered it to the card with Scrap Happy Glue.

I stamped hello with Love Letter Memento dye ink.

Here's another view of the card when it's folded.

I stamped the Thank You sentiment with Bamboo Memento Dye ink and the other sentiment with Love Letter ink.

I stamped the small flower with Tangelo and Dandelion Memento dye ink.

The larger flower was stamped with Angel Pink, Rose Bud, and Love Letter ink.

Cut the flowers out and add to the card with 3D Foam.

I just love how this card turned out...not sure how I'll top this one but I'll try!

I hope you will give it a try.  

It's easier than it might look and you will love the results!

Supplies:

Stamps: The Rubber Cafe'- Petticoat Fashion Hello, World

Paper: The Rubber Cafe' KOTM--Echo Park Petticoats and Bazzill cardstock

Ink:  Memento Love Letters, Angel Pink, Dandelion,Tangelo, Rose Bud, and Bamboo dye ink 

Adhesives: Foam tape; The Rubber Cafe'-Scrap Happy Glue

More Mushrooms

Today is the last day of the fun Eileen Hull Sizzix dies and Stampendous Mushrooms hop.

Today I have made a fun mushroom pencil holder for my project.

To create the canister base I started by stenciling the Large Scales Stencil on the die cut panels with Regular embossing paste.

I used my paper piercer to score the paste on the scored lines.

I covered the wet paste with embossing powder and shook the excess back into the bottle.

Then I heated it until it melted.

I repeated this process on the bottom of the mushroom that I die cut out of cardstock.

I die cut the top part of the Cottage Home mushroom out of white cardstock and stamped the details on to it.

I folded the panels and adhered the edges to create the canister.

After I colored everything I adhered it to the canister.

Now it sits on my craft table with my colored pencils in it!

And...there are prizes!!!

I used the Family Tree clear stamp set and the Home Sweet Home clear stamp set.

To create this card I started with a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base and stamped the sentiment on the bottom right corner. 

The I adhered a 1 1/4" x 5 1/2" strip of teal paper to the card front with Scrap Happy Glue.

Then I adhered a 3" x 2 1/2" panel of patterned owl paper to the card with Scrap Happy Glue.

I added Queen & Co. red and yellow pearls.

I used my Spellbinders Classic circle dies to cut a circle out of white cardstock and a circle out of orange cardstock.

Then I stamped the owl images and colored them with Tombow USA pencils.

A simple card that has that "WOW factor!
