My Favorite Things - Gathered With Love

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have a card I made using My Favorite Things - Gathered With Love stamp set, which I bought in June, but looks like it isn't available. I made this card for multiple occasions, a birthday and I needed a few sympathy cards also.

I chose a patterned paper Crate Paper Random for this card.  I thought the flowers were pretty close to the image.  

Copic:  Flowers R22, R24, R29, R02, R05, R08, YR61, YR65, YR68;

Leaves YG61, YG63, YG67; Jar BG11, BG34, W0, W2; 

Background: E50, E51, W0, W2

The base card is PaperTrey Ink Ivory, matting PTI Black.

Blessings to you,

Unity - Coffee Queen Birthday

 Happy Saturday!

Today I have some birthday cards I made with Unity Stamp Set - Coffee Queen.  

I started going through all my 6x6" patterned paper pads in my craftroom and consolidated them in one place.  I use to do this all the time...pick a paper with the colors and patterns I wanted to use for the stamp, then color.  Rather than coloring the image and trying to find a paper I liked.  It certainly makes it easier.

The first card uses aqua, cream and yellow, the patterned paper pad is Crate Paper DIY Shop.  I thought not only the colors were perfect but the flowers were also a great match for this image.  Next, I chose my Copic markers to match the colors in the papers. 

Copic: Cup-BG11, BG34; Rim-Y02, Y08; Flower and Cream-W0, W2; 

Leaf-YG61, YG63, YG67; Coffee-E77

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Spellbinders Garden Favorite Sentiments.  

I cut a box around the sentiment then cut the cup out.

I chose 2 papers from the paper pad, a floral and a ledger page.  I cut the floral paper diagonally, so I could make 2 cards.  The ledger page was cut into 2 pieces 3x5".  The finished papered background is 3.75x5" and mounted on black cardstock 3.875x5.125".   I added some white bakers twine and mounted the image.  Base card is 4.25 x 5.5" white PaperTrey Ink cardstock.

For the second card, I chose a different paper pad

Echo Park For the Record 2, which changed the cup color and rim color.

Copic: Cup-BG70, BG72, BG75; Rim-R24, R29; Flower and Cream-W0, W2; 

Leaf-YG61, YG63, YG67; Coffee-E77

This card I turned to be a tent card, 5.5" x 4.25".

Memory-Works and Unity Stamps

Hi All,

I signed up with Memory-Works a few weeks ago.  In this past weeks posts, I have been using some of the name brand paper lines they carry.  Today, I'm using both their patterned papers and some of the stamps they carry.  They carry Unity Stamps.

I have 2 cards to share today.  The first one uses "Hello My Friend". 

This is how they come, deep etched red rubber, mounted and pre-cut.

The foam is black which kind of threw me for a loop, because I like to index my stamps.  It is not too late once they are mounted. I have step by step instructions just go to the "Indexing your Stamps" tab above.

Then I thought - I wonder if Palette New Canvas (white) would work and it did!  Yay!  Ok - back to the card.

The heart consists of 3 layers.  The base is yellow cardstock (PTI Lemon Tart), orange patterned paper heart on top of that and the flowers are the 3rd layer, white Xpress it cardstock colored with Copic markers.  The patterned cardstock is Crate Paper "Farmhouse".

The second card is "Call Me".  I used Basic Grey "Little Black Dress" patterned paper for this card.

A little bakers twine to finish the card and this is a really quick one.

These stamps are from the Spring 2011 Memory-Works catalog. Both stamp sets are on clearance, so if you like them - now is the time to contact your Memory-Works consultant, because quanities are limited. 

Cleck out the clearance area online. That is really the reason I joined, so many pretty things in one place, plus great clearance discounts.  I love a sale!

The new catalog came out in September, all new papers, all new stamps.  I have a link to the new catalog on my left side bar.

If you would like to learn more about Memory-Works or a catalog drop me an e-mail.

 

Hope you enjoyed today's Memory-Works post.

Blessings,

Deb
