Tea Card Set

 I'm up on the Stamp Simply blog today with this tea themed card set. I chose four double sided papers from the Bloom & Wild Paper Pad as my starting point and cut them down as follows:

• Floral Piece = 5.25" x 3"
• Plain coordinating side = 5.25" x 1.5"    

  I trimmed 2.25" from my card front so that it measured 5.5" x 3.25". I used the cut off strip to die cut a strip of paper lace using the Crochet Dies from Tim Holtz.

The white card panel measures 5.25" x 2.5" and it fits perfectly beside the colored piece.  I inked up one side of my Lace Embossing Folder with distress oxide and stamped it on the colored piece before adding it to the inside of the card. 

 I stamped a sentiment from the Fear Not  and flowers from  Floral Cluster Summer Roses  on the inside left panel and added that piece of paper lace to the white panel.

I die cut the teacup and sentiment using the Coffee or Tea? Dies  and embossed the cup with the 3D Doily Embossing Folder. I inked over the embossing with white pigment ink and spritzed it with shimmer spray before adding the "thinking of you" sentiment.

Travel the World through Books

 Here's another reading themed card using products in stock at Creative Worship Stamps. The background was created by stamping various images from the Vintage Snippets and Vintage Postcards stamp sets on kraft paper and inking around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I printed the map from Vintage Collage Line Art Printable, tore it out of the white card stock and inked around it's edges with the same distress ink. All the other images were stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens.

Prayers

   I'm up on the Stamp Simply blog today with this floral mixed media card. The background was embossed with the Elegant 3D embossing folder from Tim Holtz. I inked over the embossing with white ink and then around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The pitcher of flowers was stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. I layered it onto a tag that was also inked around the edges in brown ink and added a muslin bow using fabric strips from an old curtain. I added a bit of lace and ribbon to one side of the tag and a metal book corner to the bottom right corner. The sentiment is a die cut from Stamp Simply that I trimmed up a bit to fit my card front better.  

The inside features the Daisy Pitcher in brown ink and a sentiment from one of Stamp Simply's Sympathy stamp sets.
