it's a love thing

I was looking at this stamp and I based a card around it. I also made 2 more like it for a set. I really like this stamp set. I can't remember what the name of it was. I'm really happy how the card turned out. When I finished I spaced putting the stamp saying that I wanted on there, so I put it on the inside. I says "it's a love thing." I wish I could put it on the outside but it wasn't on a single line.

layer 1: 4 x 4

# 1 dad

My niece and I made this card. She picked out what she wanted and I put everything together. She wanted a star card for her dad. I did this for the father's day challenge at http://whimsicalwednesdays.blogspot.com/

How we did it:

Star card: wild card

# 1 Dad: celebrate with a flourish

I don't know if you can see if but I also did some inking around everything.

baby

I made this card for the Bitten by the Bug 2 challenge. We had to use the Pooh and Friends cloud. Once I saw that cloud I thought... baby. I was trying to make the card look soft and wispy like clouds. There are details on the card that you can't see. Such as around the base layer is a soft baby blue inking. I also used embossing glitter to give it a shimmer. I'm really pleased how it turned out.

I been wanting to do a floating card ever since I saw it on My Craft spot. Here is a link to her video.

 I complicated it but if you follow her instructions I'm sure it will turn out. I just winged mine that is why my dimensions are weird.

Here is the inside of the card.

and the sentiment. I love this I found it from a quote book that my mom gave me. Actually from the same book that I used for the last card.

How I did it:

4 3/4 x 6 for base

4 1/4 x 5 1/2 for 1st layer

3 3/4 x 3 3/4 for frame

1/2 inch all away around the frame

cloud and shadow: Pooh and Friends: 1 1/2"

star stamp: basic backgrounds: stampin up!

5 1/2 x 4 1/2 for inside layer
baby blue inking around base
white inking around 1st layer
a la mode embossing powder

Thanks

I'm an online student. I'm taking a class about parenting. We were supposed to interview our parents and if we wanted to write them a thank you letter. So I made them a card. This is my brothers and me. I'm the oldest and then I have two sets of twin brothers. I know crazy! I'm really happy how well this turned out!

This is another weird dimension card.

How I did it:

purple base: 5 1/4 x 4"

Inside of card reads: "The best examples we've ever had, was the undying love of Mom and Dad."

I thought that saying was fitting. I got that from a book my mom gave me called "The scrapbookers Best Friend" It's from Chatterbox and EK success
