Kraft-y Hearts Blog Share Seasonal Expressions 1 Blog Share: Operation (Birthday) Smile


Hi All! Welcome back to day 2 of the Kraft-y Hearts Blog Share. This month is all about our favorite goodies from the Seasonal Expressions 1 Idea Book.

Today's project features Close To My Heart's Operation Smile Stamp Set: You're The Bomb. For ever "You're the Bomb" stamp set sold, Close to My Heart will donate $3 to Operation Smile. A cute stamp set and a worthy cause. Pretty good combo, right?



So here's the card:


My son turned 14 in December, so this little easel card was just the ticket. (He's a very outdoorsy kid--and also a video gamer... He's a study in contrasts....) The base of this card is Kraft Cardstock cut at 4x8 inches and scored at 4 and 2 inches. The front layer (which stands up when the card is folded into the easel) is 4 inches square. I the layers were made with Twilight, Lagoon and Champagne Cardstocks and patterned paper from the retired Timberline paper pack. (Oh, the sad day this paper retired!!!) I used antiqued copper studs from the Rosewood Mini Medley Accents collection to give it dimension and an industrial feel. The numbers are from the retired color-ready cork collection. The sentiment is stamped in Twilight Exclusvie Ink.

Here's a look at it open:


For a little extra panache, I added a heart to the bomb and a couple of Durables Artisanal Studs to the sentiment.

One more look:


Hope you enjoyed this little card. Now hop on over and see what the amazingly creative Lynn Darda has to share with you at From My Bungalow.

Until tomorrow then....

Some Mid-Week Timberline Mojo

Hi All! Happy Wednesday! Just thought I'd share a little project inspired by this week's Mojo Monday sketch:

I haven't created very many tall and skinny cards, so this was a fun challenge. Here's my take on it:


I had a blast making this card! The dimensions are 8 x 3 1/2 inches. Here's the ingredients list:

Kraft Cardstock
Adhesive

To colorize the sentiment, I first stamped it in Stāz-On ink and let it dry. Then I used an aqua brush and Lagoon Exclusive Ink to water color the letters for Birthday. (This is one of my favorite techniques. It's an easy way to match colors.)

Here are a couple of close-ups:



And here is one more view of the card:


Hope you enjoyed today's project. It was so much fun making a tall and skinny card! Just might have to make a couple more.....
