 Hi Crafting Friend, Here's a card to make for all your "rockstar" friends!  The card base is Basic Black, 5 1/2" X  8 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4" folded and burnished so it lays nice and flat. For the card front, the DSP layer is the black and blue print from Earthen Elegance cut to 5 1/4" X 4" The guitar is stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Basic Black cardstock. The neck and center part of the body are fussy cut from the image, cutting off the knobs at the top of the neck. Stamp the guitar again with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Sweet Sorbet cardstock and fussy cut or die-cut the entire guitar, again, cutting off the knobs at the top of the neck. Adhere the black neck and center of the body to the red guitar. Use the Take Your Pick Tool with the pointed tip to poke holes for the strings and use white thread and a needle to "string" the guitar, coming up from the back and down through the front until you have 4 strings

Hi Crafting Friend, The Spring Equinox is upon us which means that Summer's heat isn't far behind. That makes a card with a depiction of a cool treat, or two, quite appropriate for today's post. The card base is Calypso Coral, 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" folded and burnished. The insert is Basic White, 5 1/4" X 4 The Lemon Lolly striped layer, 5 1/4" X 4, is from the Lighter Than Air DSP paper pack.  The sentiment is stamped on Basic White with Sweet Sorbet ink and punched with the retired Rectangular Postage Punch , but one of the smaller Perennial Postage dies would make a good substitute. It is adhered to the card front with dimensionals. The cone for the ice cream was die-cut from Crumb Cake and inked with Pecan Pie using a sponge dauber.  The bottom scoop was die-cut from a scrap of strawberry print Calypso Coral in the Delightfully Eclectic DSP paper pack, but a scrap of cardstock would work too.  For the top scoop the die was traced and

Hi Crafting Friend, We have been having rainy days lately. That calls for a rainy day card and this bunny is having fun playing in the rain.  The card base is 8 1/2 inches X 5 1/2 inches, scored at 4 1/4 inches, folded and burnished so it lays nice and flat when closed. The insert is Basic White cardstock cut to 4 X 5 1/4  inches. The DSP layer on the front is comprised of prints from two different packs.  The first is Bright & Beautiful (4 inches X 5 1/4 inches) for the sky and the second, Earthen Elegance, (4 inches X 7/8 inches, top was rounded slightly) for the ground. The clouds and raindrops were stamped with Misty Moonlight, then the clouds were colored with Misty Moonlight and a sponge dauber to make them look stormy. Adhere the sky to the card front, then adhere the ground at the bottom of the card front and set the card aside. The bunny is stamped on Basic White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, then die-cut. Bubble Gum Stampin' Blends were used to color the bu
