Let Your Light Shine Handmade Card

 

Let your light shine!

Isn't this the cutest little girl? She really has some attitude.

This will be the last summer-themed card that I make this year. I am anxious to start making cards for the fall/winter holidays.

This card features the digital stamp "Summer" designed by Maurie J. Manning of Mo's Digital Pencil.

This image was given to Ms. Manning's Bronte-level supporters on Patreon.

I printed the digital image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch markers. I die-cut the colored image and the background with Spellbinder's "Fancy Edged Ovals" dies.

The sentiment is from "Digital Phrase Collage Sheet 9" by Lisa's Altered Art on Etsy. The background paper is from the "Stitch in Time" scrapbook paper pad by Recollections. I embellished the card with some die-cut leaves and flowers.

I will enter this card in the following challenge;

Enjoy being a kid!

Peaches Summer Birthday Card

Peaches and rainbows!

What a wonderful combination for a summer birthday card.

This card measures 5" by 6.5".

I chose the digital stamp "Peaches" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch markers and Promarkers.

I used a circle die to cut out the image and made a frame out of turquoise cardstock. I embellished the image with die-cut flowers using the "Funky Foliage" dies from Tim Holtz/Sizzix. I tried to match the color of the flowers to the color of the little girl's outfit.

The background patterned paper is "Rainbows" from Recollections.
I finished the card with a simple "happy birthday" sentiment.

Heaven's Dew and Earth's Richness

Click on image to enlarge.

May God give you heaven's dew and earth's richness. Genesis 27:28.

I will use this card as a birthday card. 

The base of the card is a blank Strathmore card that measures 5" by 7".

I chose the digital stamp/sentiment "Bounty" from Mo's Digital Pencil to feature on the front of this card. I used Canva to size and merge the image and sentiment. The hill is an element that Maurie Manning offered her Patreon supporters. I printed the image on white cardstock with my HP Photo Printer and Instant Ink. I hand-colored the image with Copic Sketch markers and Winsor & Newton Promarkers/Brush Markers. I love to mix and match my alcohol markers. I cut/embossed the image with a Spellbinders die in my die cutting machine. I mounted the image on a piece of back cardstock.

The background is a Yellow Dandelion paper. This paper was offered to Maurie Manning's Patreon supporters. I love to print digital papers on my home printer and I never run out of ink.

I embellished the card with some brown ribbon with white stitches (Stampin' Up). I then used the Spellbinder's Floral Corner 2 die to make the yellow embellishments around the corners of the image. I added three bright yellow paper flowers from my stash. 

I matted the image on a piece of dark brown cardstock and then attached it to the white Strathmore card.

Click on image to enlarge.  

I made this patriotic card to celebrate our Independence Day on the 4th of July. 

This is how I made the card:
I started with a blank kraft cardstock card that measures 5" by 6.5".

The background patterned paper is from the "Independence Day" digital paper pack from PrettyGrafikDesign on Etsy. I printed the digital paper on white cardstock with my HP Envy Photo 7855 Printer using ink from the HP Instant Ink program.

I chose the digital stamp "Waiting for the Parade" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I colored the image with Copic Sketch Markers and Windsor and Newton Promarkers/Brushmarkers. I cut/embossed the image with an oval Spellbinders die. I than cut a scalloped oval Spellbinders die out of white cardstock and mounted the image on the scalloped oval. I used double-sided tape to attach the image to the patterned paper.

I embellished the card with a piece of USA ribbon across the bottom of the card.

I hope you all had a happy Father's Day weekend. The Texas weather has been super hot, so I stayed indoors and made this card for my husband.

These are the material I used to make the card;

I started with a blank 5" by 7" kraft cardstock greeting card.

The background cardstock is Granny's Kitchen - Tea Towel/Kitchen Tiles by SEI. I used a paper punch to make the scalloped lower edge.

I used the digital image "4 Dad" (Girl, Straight Hair Version) from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic sketch markers. I then cut it out. I attached the image to a piece of off-white cardstock and framed it with kraft cardstock.

I used a Martha Stewart punch to make the kraft cardstock label and placed the "love you" sentiment in the center.

I finished the card with four brads in the corners and a piece of silk yarn.

Say It With Flowers

Isn't this the sweetest little girl? I believe that prayer changes things....we just need to tell it to Jesus. This would make a perfect sympathy card, get-well card or just "thinking of you" card.

I used a beautiful background paper from designer Susan Wright ( K & Co.).

I used the digital image "Em Praying" from Mo's Digital Pencil Shop. I colored the image with Copic Sketch Markers. I mounted the image to the green background and then used "pop dots" to attach it to the card.

I embellished the card with a flower, leaf and flourishes from Recollections.
