Life is Tweet–June SOTM

I created another card using the Life is Tweet”~ June Stamp of the Month stamp set!!

On this card, I did not use the bird stamp….I wanted to see what I could create minus the bird!!! LOL!!!

Well, here it is…a birthday card!!!!!


As you can see, I used the Cruisin’ paper pack to create a more masculine card.
These Cruisin’ papers are PERFECT for any trip you are taking, masuline card or scrapbook page, OR anything else your heart desires! J


Keep in mind ~ these papers (along with 7 other paper packs) will discontinue on July 31, 2012!!!

**********************************************
 TWO things to share about this card…

1. I paper pieced the balloons to add some color to this card!  By stamping my balloon images on colored cardstock, there was no need to color them in, but rather I just cut and paste the balloon images to line up with my balloon strings!


2. I decide to use just PART of the stamped image border!  I LOVE the fact that you can chose WHAT you would like to stamp when using our WONDERFUL Clear Acrylic stamp sets!!!
You can SEE exactly WHAT you are inking and stamping….and it makes it a WONDERFUL way to create!!!

Clear Stamps are the WAY to go!!! 

It makes creating so QUICK & EASY!!!

Supplies used in creating…

• Cruisin paper pack
• Art Philopsohy Cricut cartridge,
• Honey Mini-Medley
• Ink colors…Twilight, Honey, Black and Grey Wool

Here are the two cards I created with this month’s stamp set.  I thought the Lucy paper pack fit these cards well…and it was FUN to create them! 

Did you notice the size of these cards?  I was in the mood to be “different” and wanted to do odd sized cards – hence the 4 3/4” x 3” card sizes.  A perfect size to add to a gift, or mail off to a friend!!!

Feel free to “Hop” on over to Susan Brook’s BLOG to see what she has created with this EXCLUSIVE Stamp set!!

If you’d like to see some more details concerning my two cards and details on how they were created, keep scrolling down and I will share that with you.

Be sure to visit ALL the Consultants at their Blogs…and we love reading your comments on what YOU liked about each piece of artwork!

This set “Life is Tweet” is ONLY available from June 1-30…so contact your CTMH Consultant (or feel free to shop with me at my website J) to see how YOU can get this stamp set for an AMAZING discount!!

My First Card…

I created the sentiment “tweet, wonderful you” by using the sponge daubers to blend the colors together!  This is a QUICK, EASY way to add a bit of texture & design to any created item.
I stamped the wording in Crème Brulee ink, and then took a sponge dauber inked in Cotton Candy ink and daubed the inside square with the pink color.  When stamped, the colors look blended together!





Another way that I will often use SPONGE DAUBERS…
I use them to color things that are white.  In this case, the smallest flower  was a white flower and I inked up my dauber in Sweet Leaf green and created a flower to coordinate with my card! J



If you look real close at this picture, you will notice that I “popped” the border, my bird and the sentiment.
  I encourage you to “pop” something on your next item you create.  It’s amazing how a little bit of “pop” will create a WOW factor out of a “normal” creation.


The Second Card…

Another GREAT perk to this stamp set…it’s CRICUT Compatible to our Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge!!!  I cut out the flower image in Colonial White and then matted it in Grey Wool.

I added some pom-pom ribbon from our pink ribbon collection and popped (once again – LOL!) the bird and sentiment. 

I thought it needed “something else” on the card- so out came the Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel. J
