Take a peek inside....

- To create this card, I stamped the looped flower pattern on the 4 ¼" x 5 ½" Charcoal paper with the matching Charcoal shadow ink. I then added a piece of pool layering paper just slightly bigger than the white card (3" x 4 ¼")
- I adhered the white card on the pool paper and then added a slightly smaller piece of pool paper to the front of the card.
- I stamped the balloon onto Simon Says Stamp watercolor paper and colored it in with Inktense pencils. I cut it out and adhered it to the card with foam adhesive. I also added a cloud that I stamped and cut out of the Simon Says Stamp exclusive woodgrain cardstock.
- To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment on the front and inside.

Take a Peek Inside...
sklauck.jpg)
- To create this card, I stamped the number pattern on the 4 ¼" x 5 ½" Charcoal paper with the matching Charcoal shadow ink. I then added a piece of yellow layering paper just slightly bigger than the white card (3" x 4 ¼")
- I adhered the white card on the dark yellow paper and then added a slightly smaller piece of lighter yellow paper to the front of the card.
- I masked off the edges of the smaller yellow piece and stamped the number pattern down the center in Tide Pool shadow ink. I added a strip of pool layering paper to the edges and added the stamped sentiment label with foam adhesive.
- To complete the card, I added a few wood veneer stars with glossy accents.
Thanks so much to Stephanie for sharing these 2 beautiful cards!

Love them both but my favourite has to be the pink balloon card, because it's pink!!

Absolutely gorgeous work here, and I just love, that she has also decorated them inside too. I think it´s such a shame, when people create such beautiful work and then just leave them completely plain inside.

ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea placing a card on a bigger piece of decorated cardstock .
ReplyDeleteI like that your card is on top of a flat piece of card stock. I've usually seen this type where the card is much smaller.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteLove these cards. Something a little different.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! Thanks for the ideas & inspiration. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am loving the slightly smaller opening cards on the larger base -- fun!

I love Stephanie's cards. So different mounted on the larger panel. Very cool. I'm a follower, thanks for a chance to win some goodies. Did you guys know that the wordpress bloggers can not comment using thier WP sign in? For a long time I thought it was Google's Blogger, but they say it's the blog owners who have not allowed comments Something that needs to be okay'd from the admin of this blog. Does that make any sense? Hope this info helps, it very frustrating to keep retyping comments.
ReplyDeleteI like the card base being stationary and the layer being the part that opens. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteSo fun and different!
