I was recently asked to make a special card for a youg girl in out community who is sick. It is not often I get the privlage to make such a special one of a kind card. My friend who asked me to make the card is a very Beautiful lady and has the heart of gold!!! The tidbits of information she gave me to work with….
- Blue is favorite color
- She calles me Rock Star
- I call her Mini Rock Star
So my theme was rock star! And what does all rock stars have in common??? Well, probably lots of things…but, what came to my mind was Concert T-Shirts…. So, I thought I would use the Custom Tee bundle to make Mini Rock Star her own concert tee. Kid cards are so much fun to make. Yet, I very rarely do. Don’t know why? Just how it is!!! Because, it was such a fun experience pulling out the girl colors and the glittery paper and shimmery embossing past! Yep, I went full on Girley Girl!!!
Custom Tee Bundle
I have been very anxious to use the Tie Dye stamp set ever sence On Stage! Well, this gave me the perfect opertunity to use it!!! I used the hear tie die to make her special concert tee
Tie Die Stamp Set
To make Mini’s concert tee I first stamped the T-shirt stamp. Then using two of the hearts from the tie dye set, I created a heart on the tee. By layering them to creat the perfect tie dye heart!!! Using Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight…the two colors overlap creating a pretty green!! Then I used the custom tee dies to cut the final tee out!
The next step was to cut the sliver glimmer paper out with the sunburst die cut! And layering it over a Tempting Turquoise card base! The inside was decorated with another heart and more silver glimmer paper!!! And toped with a very special greeting. The envelope was decorated with some nuvo shimmer terquoise embossing paste. And silver hearts ❤❤❤
- Alphabet dies are great to have on had. Especially when they are photopolymer. It makes custom greeting so fun and easy!
The greeting was created with two sets from Concord and 9th. Just waned to give them a shout out because the stamps are really beautiful lettering and have a hand lettered feel to them. I love that! Stampin’ Up! has a awesome alphabet set called Brushwork Alphabet, that I use all the time!!! It is beautiful?
I was so honered to make this special card! If you would like to fallow Phoenix’s story the facebook page is Pray for Phoenix @prayforphe. It is always amazing and awesome to see Gods hand at work. #prayforphoenix. If you will sind this young lady all your thoughts, prayers, and good vibes!
Thank you for stoping by today! I hope each of you have time to create today!
Much Love,
Jennifer

Saturday was my “Team’s” monthly gathering. We had a great time catching up with each other and making cards. Our upline and friend even joined us via facetime. Brian was so nice to talk with us during out gathering! Anytime I get to see his face it is a good day!!! Even if it was on a flat screen. The day was made even better day by getting to craft with some of my favorite people. I am always overwhelmed by the generosty and kindness of the stamping world. Everyone is so very supportive of others. Sharing ideas and life! My ladies are no different! We all help each other out! And we all love seeing what the other is Creating!! It is just a lovely way to live.
So what did we do besides talk with Brian… Well, we had lunch and made two cards one of witch I am sharing with you today. Finally, we played a game around the Stampin’ Up! colors…There defantly was lots of chatter and laughter throughout the day!
One of my favorite papers from the annual catalog is the irresistible floral specialty designer series paper. This paper comes embossed so that you can add color to it as you choose.
Irresistibly Floral Papers
The sentament is from Sunburst Sayings stamp set. I adore the font of the greetings in this set! The thanks is clean and simple looking… Witch I love ❤
Sunburst Saying Stamp Set
To color the paper we used three colors of ink blending them together with the new sponge bayer. The trick is to build your color up slowly. And not to press to hard avoiding really harsh lines. Also, you want to overlap your colors and work back and forth between colors. We did this using Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, and Marina Mist.
- It is a great idea to have a set of sponge bayers for each color family. One for reds, blues, yellows, greens, neutrals, and so on…
After adding color to the paper we made our banners. Using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig we double stamped the Thanks. First in Daffodil Delight. Then in Calypso Coral, off setting it a bit.
Stamp-A-Ma-Jig
- This is one of my favorite craft tools!!! It is a must have to me ?
