Friday Friend Share- Daisy Delight

Have you seen the Daisy Delight stamp set and paper that is in the current Stampin' Up catalog? It is real popular. I have seen so many projects on Pinterest that use that set. My friend, Kim, used the set to create this card that she shared with me. 

Happy Stamping!

Friday Friend Share- Fall Hearts

Jeannie sent me this cute card that has fall colored hearts falling from the tree. Isn't it cute?

Thanks for joining me for Friday Friend Share this week and thanks, Jeannie, for the interesting card.

Friday Friend Share- Snowmen

This Friday Friend Share card is from Cathy. It is interesting in that she used a mylar sheet for the front and embossed it with a snowflake pattern. Then she applied a snowman that was stamped on white paper and cut out.
The inside of the card is also stamped with the sentiment and snowmen. I've included photos of the outside layer, the inside of the card and the completed folded card.
Nice work Cathy. It's a unique one.

Have a blessed day,
Trude

Friday Friend Share- Floral Greeting

Today's Friday Friend Share comes from my friend Candace.

The card background has stenciled embossing paste for interest and is wrapped with a hand spun piece of yarn. Sweet.

Have a blessed day,

Stampin' Up! has had quite a bit of "Coloring" paper lately. Paper that you can color with markers, ink pads, sponges, and spray bottles were the first to come out. Now there is paper that you can color with crayons and colored pencils in addition to the other techniques.

Here's a card that Kim made with the colorable Sale-A-Bration paper. Love it! Thanks for sharing. She filled in the background too!

Have a blessed day,
Trude

This card is different than most of the cards I get from my friends. I usually get stamped cards, but this is one of those multi-layered 3D cards and it was created by my friend Betty, from Delaware, for my birthday.

Thanks Betty! This is a pretty card.

I have never created this type of card. Have you?

Have a blessed day,

Continuing with the ocean theme that I have going on my blog this week, I decided to post this Orca card by my friend Jeannie.

I haven't used the dies that create the medallion. They look interesting. I think I could figure out many ways to use them.

Thanks for the fun card, Jeannie.

Have a blessed day,

Welcome to another Friday Friend Share.

Today I am sharing a Christmas card from Candice. Isn't the snow scene cute? Thank you, Candice, for sharing a cute card.

Friday Friend Share

Looking ahead to Fall. This card was created by Cathy. Beautiful Fall colors blended together.

This card, by Jeannie, is a great card for this time of year. It embodies the carefree days of childhood. Sitting in a swing, enjoying the motion and the breeze in the middle of a long summer day.

Here's a beautiful card by my friend Jeannie.
It is a simple-to-create Christmas card.
I thought since it is July, I would start posting occasional Christmas cards that my friends have sent. I am already getting Christmas theme Tuesday Tutorials ready to post and creating Christmas cards for my class attendees so they have ideas for their Christmas cards.

This cabin scene is so peaceful. It goes beautifully with the sentiment.

This patriotic 4th of July card is from my stamping friend, Tina. I am going to miss her, she is moving away from here.

The second patriotic card that I have to share is from my friend, Fumiko. 

This stamp set goes back a few years when there were many Americana and country style images sold by stamp companies.

Thanks for sharing Fumiko.

Now is a good time to start sharing 4th of July cards that I have received. This first one is from Betty..

I like the various red, white and blue papers creating rays around the glittering stars. Thanks for the fun patriotic card!

My friend, Jeannie, makes such beautiful cards. She loves animals and nature and naturally gravitates to those subjects in her card making.

Thank you Jeannie for another spectacular card.

This card is a valentine that my stamping buddy, Susie, sent me. I was looking at it today and thinking that it could also be transformed into a June strawberry card.

Susie, put some green caps on the red hearts, maybe using a flower punch, and create a strawberry card for me! You know how I love strawberries! ☺

The strawberry stands are set up in my neighborhood and ready to go. I can hardly wait.

Here's a card that speaks of spring. It is from Jeannie. She used the twisted paper technique to create a flower to embellish this card. Have you tried this technique yet? I have not tried it. I think it would be cute for a special scrapbook page.

Jeannie also distressed the edges of the leaves and crumpled them for some added interest and texture. The white box on the upper right could also be used for a sentiment.

Okay, I know you must be wondering why I am sharing Betty's Autumn greeting card today. Well, I am getting really sick of all the rain we have had this spring and when I looked at this card I saw a big sun shining. I thought, "That would be really easy to switch out and create a spring themed card."

Use green on the leaves instead of the fall colors and switch the sentiment to say, "Hello Spring!"

Betty used the Kinda Eclectic stamp set. This stamp set is on the retiring list and will only be available through May 31, 2017.

Welcome back to another Friday Friend Share.
Today I have another card from Kim to share with you.
The stamp set she used can still be purchased; it was new in the 2016-2017 annual catalog.

It is called Artistically Asian and has really nice sentiments for encouragement.

She created layers of color for the background. I don't know what inks she used. Distress inks are popular for this technique.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Yes, April finally had her baby. Now everyone can relax and go back to creating cards!

But this is just perfect for the occasion! Jeannie has created a giraffe card, and not in April's honor. I received it before all that started. ☺

I don't have any other friends or pen-pals who do encaustic wax painted cards. Jeannie does an awesome job. I love her encaustic wax stamped cards.

This is one technique that I have not tried.

Thanks for sharing, Jeannie!
