More Fresh Cuts Cards

I am still making cards with the old Stampin' Up! set called Fresh Cuts. 

I ran across a great idea where someone stamped a second time, above the image to create a rectangular space. Just had to try that. I can no longer find the blog where I saw this. Will edit this post with the info if I find the source. Used distress vintage photo ink. The sentiment is from SU's Sincere Salutations set. Used 1/2" twill for the tie.

Another idea I found was to combine other images with Fresh Cuts. The Post Card stamp is from SU's Travel Post set. The butterflies are a cling stamp from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Papillon CMS106 set. Used distress weathered wood and faded jeans ink.

I rearranged the order of stamping here, using distress weathered wood ink.

Used distress crushed olive ink here, with Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous cling Steampunk CMS107.  Used blending brushes to add color: distress worn lipstick, scattered straw and broken china. The sentiment is stamped in Versafine onyx black.

I added the Eiffel Tower from SU's World Wonders after seeing Joanne Travis' card here. Stayed with the Post Card stamp and added some little decorative stamps from Heidi Grace's clear Cherrywood Ln. stamp set. The idea for stamping the vine on the background was not my idea either. Inspiration from this Splitcoast stamper card. Inks used stamping: distress weathered wood, hickory smoke, worn lipstick, scattered straw. Brushed colors: worn lipstick, scattered straw, faded jeans.

Thanks so much for visiting! Stay safe and healthy!

April 13 Stampfest with Lynette

On April 13 Lynette and I spent the day stamping at my house.

Lynette brought some cards she made recently.
I am so glad she was willing to make these cards again with me!

We always have a great time together...making cards, visiting and just hangin' out!

Stamps: Stampin' Up's Tropical Blossoms, Hero Arts, Inkadinkado and Judith stamps.

Inks: Distress fossilized amber, abandoned coral

SU summer sun, certainly celery

Versafine black onyx

Markers for outlines on some of the images

Washi tape from Lynette's stash

We used a kind of embossing folder stamping by adding faded jeans ink
directly onto the raised part of the Sizzix Tim Holtz Wood planks embossing folder.
Spritzed the ink with water. Placed blue cardstock paper inside and ran it through the cuttlebug.

Dried the wet paper with heat tool.
Then we enhanced the details with the distress faded jeans marker.
We colored the SU Serene Silhouettes stamp with faded jeans and forest moss markers.
Huffed before stamping. Our card base is gray with a fiber look.

For this card, we searched through many stamp sets to find the perfect "flowers", using stamps from
