CARD: By the Tide Seashell

February 28, 2014 by Tami White

Still winter here in New England, but that isn't stopping me from dreaming of the beach and days to come. This conch seashell card is striking with it's monochromatic color scheme, and perfectly placed elements. Images from the Stampin Up "By the Tide" stamp set, and 3 impressions folders: Designer Frames, Fancy fan and Framed Tulips. Designed by Tammy Johnson.

The Fancy Fan layer was created with a cool technique of inking up the impressions folder either with the ink pad directly, or with a brayer. I made a video a few years ago demonstrating this technique, you can view it here >

CARD: Take a Walk on the Wild Side

February 27, 2014 by Tami White

Every time I see the "walk on the wild side" stamp set, I want to start singing the Lou Reed song. I'm always loving a good "man card", and how can you go wrong with the moose? He's as outdoorsy as it gets! This is a great masculine birthday card.

Sing with me ... Doo do doo do doo do ...

CARD: Itty Bitty Banners Love Card

February 26, 2014 by Tami White

I am in love with this card from my friend, Ellen Quintin (Cased from Chantal Castle). The color combination is so pretty, and the simplicity of the design make this card stand out in a crowd. Ellen loosened the fibers of the Primrose Petals card stock flower with a bone folder, softening the look.
