Spritzed Shapes

For these cards, I knew what I wanted...a shape that was white with spritzing around it with a greeting stamped through both.  Here's what I came up with.

 This one was hard to get a good picture of but it turned out awesome!

These cards would be so easy to duplicate.  How fun would it be to have a tree shape, a pumpkin shape, etc to use for the holidays!?!  You could also choose to use the negative image and just spritz the inside shape.  Order your supplies here.

Happy Birthday Chevrons

These cards are easy to pull off whether you're creating them with stamps or with MDS.  These are created with ink and paper :)  Cut out your center template, lay it on your card, and stamp the background image.  You can use the negative image to lay over the background stamping if you need to, then stamp the center greeting.

Birthday Flowers

Syd had a birthday party to attend this weekend.  After I made the Thomas card for another friend, she wanted to find a card for me to copy!  She found this one on Pinterest to recreate.

Thomas Punch Card

Our friend is celebrating his birthday this weekend and is obsessed with Thomas the Train.  So of course I had to make him a matching card :)

Thanks for the great tips, Sharon!  Lots of punches to create this fun train.  Order your supplies here.

MDS copy

These one layer cards are especially easy to duplicate in MDS.  The stamps change it up and make it different.

This one I decided to change it up a little bit more.

How fun is that?  Order your supplies here.  Don't forget to check out today's downloads!

Shadowed Background

One of my favorite ways to add sponging is to cut a shape using the Big Shot and then use the negative image for sponging.  Here are some samples of this:

To create the background, I used a framelit from the Apothecary Accents.  Lay the negative image on top of the card and sponge!  It makes for an easy and beautiful card.

Ink:  Soft Suede & Always Artichoke (top) So Saffron, Old Olive, Real Red (bottom)

Colored Block

I've seen a few cards where there's a color block in the back behind an images stamped in black.  I saw this card on pinterest, and I knew I wanted to recreate it using the clear blocks.  So I stamped the rectangle block in two colors of ink and then stamped an image over it in black!  I made 5 of each of the designs I'm showing you.  Each one of them is just a little bit different for this group of cards.  I LOVE THAT!
