Happy Birthday card quickie

Hey look, it is something other than a Christmas card!! I am still using We r Memory Keepers Winter Frost 6x6 paper pad collection. These are super quick cards, I only added the sentiment and a little bling. My tip today is to let the designer paper do most of the work for you!!

Peaceful Poinsettia

I have almost killed the Taylored Expressions KI Card Kit from December 2012, and it is only the first day of November 2013!! Woo hoo, go me!
After sharing a 5 minute card yesterday, I thought I would share one today that took just a little more time. And I am sticking with Winter/Christmas themed cards. (Even though this piece of designer paper could be used for any occasion.)

I am using the Peaceful Poinsettia stamp set, I love that this set has both the solid stamps and the line drawn ones. The solid ones are good for inking up, like I did here, they make mass producing cards very easy. And speaking of easy, I need to mention that there are matching dies!!

 Here is a peak at the popped layers. I like to die cut my cardstock first. Then I ink up my stamp and lay the die cut shape on top of the stamp. I don't mind that the image it not perfect, my work is handmade is a reflection of me- perfectly imperfect!!

Supplies-

Stamps- Peaceful Poinsettias- Taylored Expressions

Paper- We R memory Keepers Winter Frost

Ink- Memento Tuxedo Black, Palette-Jardin Moss, Cote d'Azure

Misc.- Poinsettia dies- Taylored Expressions, Classic Scalloped rectangle Spellbinders dies, Button twine, say it with Crystals rhinestone, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist- Frost, pop dots, Stamp-a-ma-jig.

Wisemen Christmas card

Super fast and easy card share today. I am still sharing cards made with the We R Memory Keepers Winter Frost 6x6 paper pad (I got it in the Taylored Expression Key Ingredient card kit in December 2012.)

 I removed this clear stamp set from the package long ago and I don't remember who made it. :-/
All edges were distressed with Memento London Fog ink. The pearls are liquid pearls.
There you have a 5 minute card!!
Yhanks for stopping by!
Until later~

Using my Hoarded supplies

I have been getting the Key Ingredient Card Kit from Taylored Expressions for a couple of years. Sad to say, but I have a few kits I have not gotten around to using yet. As a personal challenge I am going to be using those hoarded kits.....along with some hoarded stamps!! :-)
The first one I grabbed was the December 2012 kit featuring the We R Memory Keepers Winter Frost 6x6 paper pad.

 

I love the colors, not "Christmasy" but perfect for winter. 

I love the kraft, teal pop of red color combo. The paper collection already had some distressing, so I added some Vintage Photo Distress Ink- it really helps to define the layers.

A little added detail- Glossy Accents added to Santa's glasses.

Supplies-

Stamps- from my stash (I removed them from the package and I don't remember who made them) Sentiment-Peaceful Poinsettia Taylored Expressions

Ink- memento Tuxedo Black, Vintage Photo Distress Ink

Paper- We R Memory Keepers Winter Frost

Dies- Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Rectangles Lg, From the Heart die-Taylored Expressions

Copic Markers-E00, 01

R24, 27, 29

Misc- Glossy Accents, pop dots

I have a couple more cards in the works using this same collection. I will be posting them this week.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until later~
