Friendship Thank You Card

Hi Stampers.

I made a heartfelt card celebrating the unbreakable bonds of friendship! This stunning thank-you card is a beautiful way to express gratitude to that special someone who has always been there for you, putting up with your quirks and loving you just the same.

The card base is blue, with a red layer mounted under the striped printed cardstock.

The word Friendship was stamped with VersaFine, mounted on yellow, then red.

The Heart With Butterfly was stamped with Memento and colored.

I used the Circle Thank You stamp and masked it to use only one of the words in the circle.

I used Friends Like Flowers on the inside, but I don't have a picture of it in the card.

I posted the inside saying stamp below.

Stamps Used:

Friendship

Heart With Butterfly

Circle Thank You

Friends Like Flowers

Thanks for looking, have a great day!

A Cowboy Birthday Card

 Hello Fellow Crafter. I did a cowboy birthday card. 
They say, A cowboy is a breed tougher than nails and stronger than steel.
Cowboys have been iconic figures for a long time.
And for good reason, they are hardworking, and their style is timeless.
They are a part of American history. My dad loved watching cowboy movies.

I stamped the Barbwire Looped on light tan cardstock and mounted it on dark brown.

I used a piece of black-and-red printed paper as the background for my cowboy.

On a light tan cardstock, I stamped Yippie Yahoo, and cut it out.

On the same light tan cardstock, I used a die and sponged the edges.

The Geezer was stamped on white and colored, then cut out and placed on the die-cut tan cardstock.

The Barbwire Frame was also stamped on the light tan cardstock and cut.

Happy Birthday Fun was stamped on the inside of the frame.

Stamps Used:

Barbwire Looped

Yippie Yahoo

A Friendship Card

 Hello Fellow Stampers.

Religious Christmas Card

Hello Stampers!

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I am getting my Christmas cards ready.

I have about 30 different ones to make, so I wanted to make cards that were quick.

I used natural colors, but I know this stamp looks good with other colors too.

I started with a dark brown card.

The first layer is light tan with a textured dark brown. I put some string around the card and tied it.

The stamp has some space between the main part of the saying and the 'Merry Christmas'.

I used a die with the lightest tan and stamped the saying, May Our Savior on it.

** I masked the Merry Christmas off the bottom and only stamped the top part of the saying.

I stamped Merry Christmas on the bottom of the card. 

The Nativity Scene was stamped on white cardstock and mounted on the tan cardstock.

Stamps Used:

May Our Savior

Santa Is On His Way

Hello Stampers. I have a simple, quick, no-coloring Christmas card for you.
