Three on Thursday

Its a new year and with that comes a new Three on Thursday! This week’s class has some adorable cards, and many of the stamps you may already have in your stash! Each week I do a YouTube Live video, and I make three cards for you. This is what we did this week! Let’s take a look, shall we?

Isn’t this card just adorable? I have always loved the little faces, but never used them, because they were individual, and I was afraid that I would make them look wonky! This card was inspired by a card done by Jodi Collins, and of course, I had to put my own spin on it!

There is some paper piecing involved with the coffee cup, but it is super easy to do, and it just looks so cute! I love the detail on the wood planks!

And, of course, we can’t forget the inside! I don’t normally stamp a sentiment on the inside, but this card just screamed for something more! So, stamp I did! It’s fun to pair different stamp sets together, don’t you think?

I have a realtor friend who shares houses all the time, and I love it when she shares the congrats pics and all the fun doorstep drops that she does! So, this card is dedicated to her! The design itself is inspired by a few different cards, by Janne KE, Brenda Rose, and Kelly Baxter. (I almost wonder if I should have put some string on it to make it look like an old fashioned hanging framed photo, what do you think?)

The coloring was super fast, as I didn’t do any shading. Just a few markers, and you are done! I love that even with this paper, you could totally make this house a different color!

Of course, you can’t forget the inside, nor the envelope! Just quick little bits and it just makes everything 100 times better! So simple!

Last, but not least, we have this super fun card! This is definitely old paired with new! I really wanted to go for that flying banner look, and I think I nailed it!

Different layers of foam tape make the plane pop out between the clouds!

And, of course the inside and envelope!

I hope that you have enjoyed this week’s cards! I have listed all of the supplies below. If you have any questions that aren’t answered in the video or this post, please let me know, and I will be happy to answer them for you!

SWAK isn’t what you think it means!

We grew up thinking this was Sealed with a Kiss, right?  Well, you could technically do that with what I have for you today, but today I have a different meaning for you!

 

Today we are STAMPING with a KISS!  Have you heard about the Kiss Technique?  Well, it is where you ink up one stamp, stamp it onto another stamp that has a design, and then stamp the remaining ink onto your project.  Sounds pretty cool, right?  Well, let’s see what I made to show you!

close view of sentiment

Isn’t this sentiment just so cute??  I bet you couldn’t guess which stamp I used to kiss the letters onto!  Would you believe it was an ice cream cone stamp?  Well, it was!  I just thought the texture was so fun, and would work so well with the PML card that I used for the top of the card!

The ice cream cone is in the same set as the coffee card, and we already know that I love me some coffee cards!  So, it just worked out so perfectly!

Full Front of Cards

I know my friend Lynn loves that there can be more uses for dies than what they are specifically designed for, so hopefully this card will make her smile!

 

The white frame on this card is the Oval Frame Thin Cut!  I paired it with the Circles Thin Cuts, and you wouldn’t know that it’s supposed to be an oval inside!

Semi Close view of sentiment

I just wanted to show off the gold embossing on the bottom of the letters!  It just makes them pop!  (well, that and a few layers of cardstock!)

 

I used no foam tape on this card, no coloring, I just wanted a nice ‘simple’ card!  (ok, maybe not ‘simple’ . . . )

I hope that you like the card, and leave a message below letting me know your thoughts!  If you try the Kiss technique, go and show off your project at the H2H blog!  The would LOVE to see your craftiness, too!
