Sending Hugs

 Welcome, welcome!  I'm so glad you stopped by.

Today I have yet another stenciled card -- oy!  I told you I might be addicted!  It's a little unfortunate that I didn't get these in for Darnell's Stencil Week, but I'll try again.  Another occasion, another card, another day of fun!

I stamped and heat embossed the floral bouquet, then stenciled and die cut it out.  It was prepped for popping up, but then what to put it on?  Again, I shopped my NBUS stash and found a pretty little pierced cover plate that worked perfectly -- it just looks so dainty!  Again, a couple NBUS products, so this'll go to NBUS #76 and to Triple B:  July (blooms, of course)

 

Supplies:

   PFS - Indigo Roses suite (NBUS)

   Ps - Cortina Pinpoint piercing plate (NBUS)

   HB - Mini Messages stamps

The recipient has received this one, so I'm all clear to post!

Here's HUGS to you all!

Hello again!

As you can see, today's card features Mr Cluck Jr, the second image of the previous set, posted here.  He's another fine feathered friend, coaxing a friend to let loose on his Birthday!

Jr was colored with Copics, cut with a postage die, propped up on top of a woodgrain embossed panel, and adhered to the card with his favorite sentiment bannered below.  I fashioned this guy after Color Hues #113 - Red and White.  I hope I didn't ruin the fun by adding a bit of gray to his feathers but his initial cut layer definitely has white too.  After coloring him, I glossied the balloon to make it fun, as if this guy isn't fun enough.  And that orange?  That's just a blend of red, right?

Even though you can't see much of the embossing, it does add an extra something IRL.  And yes, Michele, I added another embossing panel upside down because I liked the texture better 😉

Sometimes a girl's just gotta get on the wild side - lol!

Supplies:

   Unity - Still Peckin' Fabulous

   PB - Postage Die

   Szx - Wooden e/f

Hope you've having a fabulous weekend!  We're moving some family members, taking care of/squeezing on my new grandbaby and dog-sitting for another, so our weekend is full!

Hugs,

Stenciling Some Daisies

 Hello again!

Today, I have another stenciled card for you.  Am I hung up on stenciling?  I believe I am... is there a cure for that?  I really don't mind, as I had a good time and so I just kept going!  A new stencil (NBUS), an unused stamp, another occasion to honor and it all came together.

I stenciled the background and then added a sentiment off to the right.  Well, I didn't really care for it hindsight, so I stamped the sentiment strip and set off to find a suitable "cover".  While I was digging through my NBUS pile, I found a stamp set that would work perfectly with the background.  I stamped, colored with Copics, drew a highlight with a gel pen and added WoS to the "berries", then fussy-cut and popped up over the other sentiment.  Win!

If you zoom in 1000x power, you might catch a little twinkle from the WoS.  If not, you'll have to trust me!  This will go to NBUS #76 

Supplies:

   WF - Daisy stencil (NBUS), Nesting Postage die

   HB - Mini Messages stamp (NBUS)

   PFS - Lemons & Blueberries stamp (NBUS)

OK, I'm on a roll now - lol.  Thank you for the visit -- I just love your company!

Hugs,

Collage - Hugs & Wishes

 Hello!

Someone special is to be honored and cherished with this card (not that I don't consider every one of you special!).  The card's been received and so now I can post it, slightly after the Birthday.

Today's card ~

It all started with a "new to me" stencil, and I figured that it would make a beautiful card too!  I ink blended with the four colors, cut with the postage collage die and popped it up on thin foam.  The sentiment was stamped, cut and attached with another layer of thin foam.  Here's a closer look ~

Oh!  And a few pink vellum mini butterflies.  Since I have two NBUS products used, I'll be sending this to NBUS #76.

Also sending this to Triple B

Happy Birthday, Girl Friend!  Hope you had a spectacular Birthday!

Supplies:

   WF - Postage Collage die, Spring Breeze stencil (NBUS)

   Ps - Bunches o' Butterflies dies (NBUS)

   PTI - Stylish Sentiment:  Birthday

Hugs,

Happy 4th of July!

Today's post is all about a Birthday card.  Not quite a 4th of July Birthday, but close and any Birthday counts, right?!  I made a masculine card to post for today, using a brand-new product, so definitely NBUS.  This Birthday card has already been delivered ~

Mr Clucks was stamped, Copic colored and placed over a matching/fun piece of patterned paper.  Isn't that sentiment just fun?  The others in the set are equally fun too.

This will be sent to NBUS #76

Supplies:

   Unity - Still Peckin' Fabulous (NBUS)

   HB - The Bees Knees pp
