Music On

Hello readers, I hope you are all enjoying a nice weekend!  Today I am sharing a slimline card made using the new "Music On" digital stamp set by Richard Garay Designs.  I think this is a really fun stamp set and I'm probably aging myself by saying I remember cassette tapes and walkman's from my own teenage years.  And yes, absolutely I made my own mixed tapes back then too!

Card details: 

This slimline card measures 8 1/2" x 3 1/2".  Slimline cards are designed to fit inside a regular #10 business sized envelope and do not require additional postage.  I cut a 8 " x 3" piece of white cardstock and stamped teh background splatter in Sweet Blue ink, Sour Watermelon Ink, Sweet Banana ink and Rich Cactus ink.  I matted this white cardstock onto an 8 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of Rich Cactus cardstock.  I printed the "Music On' digital stamp set onto Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock and colored in the cassette tapes with Copic markers.  I cut the images out using my Scan ad Cut 2 electronic cutting machine, in lieu of fussy cutting.  I adhered the cassette tapes to the card using 3M adhesive for added dimension. I printed out the digital sentiment and added it to the bottom of the card also using 3M foam adhesive.

I hope you have enjoyed this fun "flashback to the 80's" card!  Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Boho Strings

Happy Monday, friends!  I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving holiday with friends and family.  If you were brave enough to venture out in the madness that is Black Friday, I hope you survived and spent the weekend recovering!  That scene is most definitely not for me!  Today I am sharing a card that didn't quite go as planned, but I like how it turned out just the same.  RG Avenue released both of these beautiful sets "Boho Strings" and "Song Lyrics" last month and as usual, I'm a little late to the game. . . What I really wanted to achieve was a Christmas themed card with the guitar and flowers.  However, my flower selection (mums, I believe) and color choice completely say "FALL!"  So. . .  fall it is.  Technically winter doesn't start until December 21st, so it's all good!

Card details:

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Rich Cherry sugar stock.  Using the Scalloped Stitched Nesting Rectangle dies from Gina Marie Designs, I cut the first layer from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I stamped four different song lyrics on the card in Rich Cherry sugar cube ink.  I heat embossed the guitar on Sweet Cane sugar stock in gold embossing powder and fussy cut it out.  I colored the flowers in Copic markers and fed it through my Scan and Cut to cut the bouquet for me.  I adhered the flowers over the guitar and adhered both to the card with 3M foam adhesive.  Lastly, I added a coat of clear Wink of Stella to the flowers for added sparkle.

Here are the "Song Lyrics" and "Boho Strings" stamp sets I used to make today's card:
