Special Fold Tag Punch

I so enjoy different designs and different folds on cards. This is a tag punch, folded halfway to the middle and then the flap is folded back, and you get the design from the underside showing on top. It is pretty out of solids but really pops with double sided papers!  The different papers give this card a totally different look!  There is a flower bling added to the center of the flower The background of the card has been stamped with versa mark ink with a swirl design. This adds some depth to the project! There are two strands of bling coming out from behind the flower that gives an additional bang to the card!  Hope this will give you something to make today. We are having some rain off the tropical storms so it is a great day to play in your crafts! email me at debsegler@gmail.com and send me a picture of your card and if I post it you get a bag of stampin up freebies! Hugs have fun!

Little Flowers WOW!

I had this card from a ladies blog and sorry that I do not remember her name but I really liked the elegance, and colors! I love layers and the way she added the ribbon over the scalloped piece gave it another focal point!  The flowers have been stamped and cut out and put on with pop dots so they stand out and give the card dimension.  I am working on gifts of card sets and this one will add a very nice WOW! I hope it inspires you to get to stamping! Hugs debsegler@gmail.com for questions or stampinup orders!

THINGS MOTHER TAUGHT ME!

The pink iris flowers are a great reminder of my mother. She loved them and always had several bunches of them in her yard! She was a special lady that could grow anything! It was like magic! She could pinch a small piece off of a plant and before you could blink she would have a huge pot blooming on her front porch! She taught me to love gifts of nature and she noticed them everywhere. She could get as much pleasure out of a short ride to the store as others do on a long vacation trip.  She pointed out every little detail of God's designs and stored them away in her memory, then she would pull them out later and talk about them. Her flowers were always much larger and brighter than others you would see and they brought everyone lots of enjoyment!
The flowers  are colored with some light, and even white spaces so that you can really see the variegation of colors! Today stamp any flower and send it to someone you haven't thought of or talked to in a while! Hugs Debbie

SPRING FLING CARD THING!

The weather has been so pretty that I have been out running all weekend so I found a couple of cards in my stash that I though you might like to see.  They are very different, and both have spring flowers on them.  The top card has a very fun technique as the background stripes on it. You can really go crazy with this technique,  and it adds so much to your cards and scrapbook pages. You use blue painters tape and lay the sticky side down on your ink pad, run gently with your fingers so that it grape the color. Then you put it onto your card base and rub so that it adheres and deposits the ink.  The top card has red, blue and green strips from the tape. I then added wash tape at a different angel.  The designer paper with stars was punched with stampin up label punch, and the cut out flowers were placed over the top. This card has a fourth of July feel!  The next card was another one I made with Betty, and she loves to brayer! She is much better with it, but I do love the background look you get when you use it.  The top of the card is brayered with a light blue ink and the rest was a light green. The flowers were stamped on top of the color and then colored with stampin up markers.  The base of the card also has blue rolled onto it.  Each base is backed in black, and placed onto a half page, size card base. The ribbon is sheer and goes under the tope design. The little bird at the top carries your eye upward and gives another focal point.  Get your Card Thing going and design today! Blessings Debbie

SWAMPED WITH Friendship!

How fun and different is this scene? It is Betty's design and really was fun to color! The left edge of the card was made with stampin up fancy scissors that cut in little strips.  It is stamped on shinny white paper and colored with copic markers. I love the artistic feel and look of this the of design.  I have two great friends that love this Louisiana look!  Hope you like it too! Please leave your comment! Hugs!
