High Tide — Just No Words

Do you ever have those times when you hear something happened and you just don't know what to say to the person involved?  This card is perfect — For Some Things There are Just No Words!!  You can let that affected person know that you care and are there for them but truly there aren't many words that haven't been said before to help through the situation.

I again took this card idea from my sister, Tina.  I loved the Island Indigo and Old Olive color combination.  We added some waves with the Seaside embossing Folder, a little bit of land for the light house to sit on and plenty of waves surrounding the light house and don't forget some birds flying past.  I actually cut my bird stamp into two pieces so I could stamp birds into a smaller area than the original stamp.  I can still use both pieces together to create the longer flock of birds.

Thank You So Very Much

As we come to the final days of Sale-a-Bration I want to share some of the great items that are still available for you to choose.  Today’s card actually features two items — So Very Much stamp set and the Succulent Gardens designer paper.  My sister, Tina, designed this card for an event she held this past week and I love the simplicity and highlighting both of these items so I made one little change and we stamped this card at my Team Meeting Thursday night.
Succulent Thank You
Tips:
1. Card base is Mint Macaron
2. Layer of Smoky Slate
3. Layer of Succulent Garden designer paper — you can purchase this designer paper for $11 or choose it as your Sale-a-Bration choice FREE
4. Stamp “Thank You” and “so very much” with Smoky Slate ink — the So Very Much stamp set is also a Sale-a-Bration item you can choose FREE
5.  Attach a piece of the Mint Macaron Sheer Linen Ribbon to back of designer paper

Masculine Crazy Cakes

Do you struggle making Masculine cards?  I have a great solution for you.
I actually saw this card on my sister, Tina’s blog and I fell in love with it. 
It uses the Cake Crazy stamp set and is so much fun to make.
I adjusted the layer sizes a bit but the rest of the card was perfect.
We did this at my Team Meeting the other night.
I really love two step stamping with the photopolymer stamp sets.
Crazy CakesHere’s how the card was made:
1. Stamp the “Tiny Dots, Row of Dots & Line” image using Basic Black ink
2.  Stamp the “Wavy Line & Argyle” image on top using Soft Suede ink (love how you can see through the stamp and it matches up so well)
3.  Stamp the “just argyle” image on top using Crumb Cake ink (look how it lines up)
4. Stamp the “up & down lines with top and bottom lines” using Soft Suede ink
5.  Stamp the “up & down only lines” on top using Crumb Cake ink — they fit right between the Soft Suede lines
6.  Stamp “Bow Tie” using Memento ink
7.  Stamp the single candle using Crumb Cake ink
8.  Stamp the flame using Soft Suede ink
9.  Add a Pearl to the Bow Tie

I was a little intimidated by this card but it was so much fun to make.
I can’t wait to try it with fun, bright girl colors too.
