Just A Note

JUST A NOTE is a new stamp set by Elemental Doodles.

It is a super stamp set to use for those little notes that you have to write. Tomorrow I will show you what you can do with this stamp set and making your own just a note holder.

I wanted this card to be plain and simple so decided on the Black and Bordering Blue colors. (Manly colors). The card stock colors are: Whisper White, Basic Black, Bordering Blue. The designer paper is from Patterns Pack Series II (Stampin'Up!) and is Brocade Blue. The ribbon is white with black dots and was a scrap. I do not remember where it was purchased. The black dots are just that, black dots that I purchased in the $1.00 bin at JoAnns. The Scallop oval if a punch from Stampin' Up combined with the large oval punch. To give the card a bit of texture, I used my paper piercer in the upper right hand corner. The hi-lights colored in are Copic Markers, cool grey #1.

Elemental Doodles New Release

Elemental Doodles has a new release of stamps. This card was made using the Just A Note stamp set.

With this card it is either a love it or hate it kind of thing.

I wanted a card that said I am sending this note to you because I love you. Hum.....I am not sure if it really worked.

I stamped the envelope first then stamped the face over top of the envelope. I just hi-lighted some of the facial areas so they would stand out a little bit.

Sometimes you just have to go with those ideas than get into your find at 0 dark thirty (middle of the night for most of you). Tomorrows card will be a more normal card using the same stamp set.

Fifth Ave Floral

I just love this technique on this flower. It really makes your rose look so real.

This rose I used the new Stampin'Up! colors Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo. I just love all of the new In Colors.

I started with a piece of Shimmery White card stock and embossed in Gold. I used an old stamp box which I had cut off the lid. I dropped one drop of each color onto the lid. I then placed my rose inside the box and I then spritzed the rose with water (lots, you need to have puddles). Using my aqua painter I squeezed a few drops of water into my reinker. I then picked up the color and touched the rose. The puddles make the color spread. I used both the pink and the yellow in different areas. (I had two different aqua painter which made it easier). You do have to work a little fast so the water does not soak in too much. Anyway, this is how it turned out. There were four of us doing this and each one turned out so differently. I blotted this one so the ladies could see how it mutes the color if you blot it. It was very intense before the blotting. I cut mine out while still wet and then let it dry before attaching it.

Using Left over Yellow

This card was made to use up the leftover cardstock from yesterdays card.

This is one of the new stamp sets from Verve. Don't you just love the hot air balloon. It just says "take me away"

I stamped the balloon in True Black then used Crushed Curry marker to color in the yellow. The blue clouds are Bashful Blue. I wanted to keep this card very simple so it would fit nicely into an envelope without extra postage so that means no froufrou that sticks up. I did a bit of paper piercing above the clouds, added the punched border on the left with a bit of Yo yo Yellow ribbon. The sentiment is stamped on the inside of the card. Simple and no extra postage.

Yellow, yellow every where

Bright and cheerful is all I can say about this card. I needed a Birthday Card that said cheerful but......it could not have anything on it that would cost extra postage like so many of my cards. This card fits that catagory.

My base card is Yoyo Yellow. The patterned paper was a gift and I can't remember the manafacturer. Anyhow, it was cut down 1/4" from the base card then I used the ticket corner punch to do my corners. I then cut a piece of white card stock and used a Martha Stewart punch. I added the yo yo yellow ribbon to the middle of that strip just to break it up a bit. Then I punched a Large Scallop using white card stock. I sponged the edges with Yo yo Yellow and used my piercing tool to do each scallop. More of the same package of patterned paper but a different piece. The tulips are punched using the key tag punch then I used scissors to cut the shape. I used a black marker to added the stitching. The leaves are made using the lg oval punch then they are cut in half and sponged. I used the modern label punch and the big shot movers and shapers modern label die for my words.
