I’m going to end this week with a tribute to the stars in our life – our grandkids! They are truly stars to us any day of the year!

Our two eldest grandkids are always available to come out and help with yard work so this star-laden card is for them! I’m playing along with the newest Freshly Made Sketches layout and decided to move out of the circle to use the Stitched Stars dies(150653) and had a cutting fine time!

There was a lot of gluing going on too! The Fine-Tip Glue Pen for all of the small stars and our Multipurpose Liquid Glue for the gold foil star.

Here’s the list of products used.

DINO DAYS FUN

All Occasion, cards for kids

Hi on this Sunday morning! I thought it was time for a little dinosaur fun which was what inspired today’s card.

Aren’t they cute? I did some “stamping off” for the tree trunk and the branches to give a little dimension. This was my second attempt at a card to play along with the new Freshly Made Sketches layout. The first had too much white space so I decided to use the Dino Days stamp set(149406) and matching Dino Dies(149636) so I could add more interest.

Here’s the sketch that I followed.

And, here’s the list of products used.

Dino Days Photopolymer Stamp Set [149406] $29.00	Cinnamon Cider 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [153078] $12.00	Basic Black 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [121045] $12.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25

FOR A GRAD

cards for kids, Congratulations, Techniques

Comments

Hi out there and welcome! I’m starting the week off with a card for a grad! Our eldest granddaughter graduates this year and since there will be no grad ceremony, I wanted to create a special card for her!

I started out with the Floral Essence Bundle(151055) and the Emboss Resist Technique with Aqua Painters.

Start with a piece of Shimmery White cardstock, stamp the images with Versamark, sprinkle White Emboss Powder over them(you could use clear too) and heat set. Then I used Ink Refills with an Aqua Painter to brush the colour on. After letting it dry, I overlaid a piece of vellum and went to work with the stamp set and matching punch.

Add the perfect greeting and voilå, you’re done! For the record – I love this particular greeting!

Here’s the list of products used.

Floral Essence Bundle [151055] $41.25	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock [140272] $11.25	Shimmery White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [101910] $13.50	Vellum 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [101856] $13.50

A LITTLE DINO KID LOVE TO END THE WEEK

Sometimes I tend to forget to make some fun cards for the kids in my life but today’s card makes up for that!

The Dino Days Bundle(151139) needed a little love, so out it came! That cute dinosaur was stamped with Lovely Lipstick in and then heat embossed in clear emboss powder. The “thorny” ridge on his back was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink and heat embossed as well. I wanted him to stand out against the matching background paper.

The layout comes from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches and is a fun one to play with.

Now that I’ve started re-building my stash of kid cards, onwards to the fun of a few more!

Here’s the product list for today’s card.

Some things stay the same and others change. That’s what’s going on with todays cute card!

The Animal Outing stamp set is sticking around(yay, ’cause it’s so cute) but not as a bundle. So, if you want to save 10% then now is the time to purchase the bundle which includes the Animal Friends Thinlits Dies.

I always save the scraps of designer paper so was able to use a piece from the Animal Expedition package for this card. I also used the New Stitched Nested Labels Dies so we have a little “change” with the “same”!

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!

~~~Clara~~~

I really enjoy Cynthia’s creative skills and look forward to going to her classes and workshops. Cynthia always has fun and inspirational project ideas. She is always ready to lend a hand and help you where needed, if she doesn’t have an answer for you, she will do her best to find one ASAP. I would go to any one of her classes or workshops anytime for years to come.

~~~Connie~~~

Having Cynthia as my upline has been a very pleasant experience for me. She is always available to answer my questions and is very knowledgeable about Stampin’ Up products. I have attended her classes and they are very professional and well organized. I am always excited to share the projects she demonstrates with my customers after attending her classes. She puts a lot of thought and effort into planning her classes. I am very fortunate to have met Cynthia, and am looking forward to learning from her for many years to come. Thanks Cynthia....you are the best!!

~~~Leona~~~

Cynthia’s classes are set up very thorough and professional. I learn something new at every class and it is always a fun night out. Cynthia gives a lot of inspiration in everything she does and keeps us looking at her blog. Cynthia knows her product very well and keeps us all informed on new products and sales!
