Here are the cards I created using a couple of the new stamps.
I really love anything country so this first stamp was a favorite as soon as I saw it. Here's how I made it: I stamped both stamps; Chicken and Be Silly in Memento Cocoa Brown. I distressed around the edges of the chicken image and around the edge of the patterned paper I matted it on. I cut the Be Silly image into the shape of a tag. A Cuttlebug embossing folder (Honeycomb) was used to create the white background. I added some jute ribbon, twine and a wooden button as embellishments.
Now this stamp was a favorite right away as well because..... yep you guessed it.... I wanted to color it! ha ha. Color it I did. I used my Copics to color this Whimsical Birthday Cake stamp. I cut it out with a Spellbinder Die and then used a pop dot to attach it to my card. I used a little bit of twine as an added embellishment. This was a fast and easy card. Those birthday's can sneak up on you and this would be a great card to make if you need one in a hurry.
I hope you enjoyed my cards today. Your next and last stop on the hop will be Pat Huntoon at patstamps.blogspot.com.

Super cheerful cards today Jeri. That chicken is so cute. Love the background and how you tied that bow.
ReplyDeleteFantastic work, Jerri!! That cake looks good enough to eat--your coloring is divine!
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! Love your cards! Oh and if you'll go back to my blog now, you'll see the blog post instead of the one you commented on. For some reason, it went into draft mode when I changed it last night and didn't publish.
ReplyDeleteFantastic work. Love both cards. It never occurred to me to colour a layer of the cake in chocolate. I have three birthday cakes stamped out to colour this afternoon and I think I'll do chocolate too. You're such an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLove your cards and designs. Great work. Judy
