May Stamp of the Month: Chairs To You

This is a 5x7 card that I created using the May Stamp of the Month. The black chairs were embossed in black and I used the blending pen and black stamp pad to color them in. Then I cut them out to attach to the card. The gold chair was embossed and colored using the vineyard berry marker, then cut out to attach to the card. Cutting out images that are colored with markers eliminates the color bleeding through the top of the card. I cut one of the glittler brads in half and attached to the card with glue dots. The patterned paper ruffle on the bottom is pleated, scored at 3/4" & 1/4" intervals.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here are a few love inspired projects for you.

This is my first ever attempt using a digistamp and ipaper. I've got to say, it was fun!

I don't have the fancy Adobe Photoshop that most have, so my tech-genius hubby suggested that I try Gimp.org. I did, and I love it! It is freeware and with a little learning curve, it acts much like Photoshop.  If you have been saving up for Photoshop, I recommend trying Gimp.

I love the saying on this stamp from AmberInk! When my hubby and I first started dating, one of the first jokes he told me was:

A mushroom walks into a bar.

The Bartender said, "We don't serve your kind here."

The Mushroom said, "Why not I'm a fungi!"

Yes, this kind of cheese won me over. :-) What a perfect v-day card for my hubby.

Materials Used:
AmberInk ipaper Spin Pin Tiny
AmberInk digistamp Fungi Mushroom Blank
CTMH White Cardstock
CTMH Holiday Buttons
CTMH Sassy Strands Summer Carnival
Liquid Glass


The next card showcases CTMH's Clear Cards and new Sweetheart papers along with an old origami money folding technique that makes fun embellishments for papercrafting.

Pattern from Originals: Cubes & Colors

Materials Used:
Sweetheart Level 2 Paper Packet
Clear Cards 4¼” x 5½” Assortment
Buttons Pink Assortment
Mini-Medley Accents Black Collection
3-D Foam Tape

My final card for this post features the origami money folding technique used to make a card. I started with this tutorial. There were a couple of steps that I changed, and I started with a 6x12 piece of B&T paper from the Wings paper pack.

This card showcases the February Stamp of the Month: Friendship and opens to reveal the sentiment.

Stamp of the Month February: Friendship
Wings Level 2 Paper Packet
Vineyard Berry Exclusive Inks Pad
Black Exclusive Inks Pad
Versamark Ink Pad
Black Embossing Powder
Embroidery Floss Neutral Assortment
Mini-Medley Accents Black Collection
Sponge Daubers

I wish you lots of LOVE this Valentine's Day!

Happy Scrapping,

Jen Lee
