B&W Thinking of You 'Birthday" Card

Hey Krafters,

I have been in a black and white mood lately. I really love the combination with a splash of color. To me, you can never go wrong. Also, the cards can be used for almost any occasion.

Anywho, here is my card share for today. I used three Spellbinders sets (I can't remember the names off hand other than the classic oval) to create four layers. I stamped and embossed the sentiment. For dimension, I popped up some of the layers and added shear ribbon. I used I Am Roses and Wild Orchid Craft flowers to embellish and finish off the card. Although I have the "thinking of you" sentiment, I used this as a birthday. The inside, (not pictured) said on your birthday.

Well that's it!! I hope you enjoyed today's project. Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~

Black and White Season's Greetings

Hi Krafters!

I cannot believe Christmas is next week!!! I don’t know about where you live, but we have not had any measurable now in approximately 287 days here! While I am not complaining about the lack of snow, but it truly is unheard of in Wisconsin! Well if you are missing snow (I’m not) here is a card for you J

My dear sis Kelli and I decided to do a swap. The challenge was to only use the colors black, white, grey/silver and a splash of color. Trust me, it was a challenge!

For this project, I used the Village Park stamp set by Inkadinkado. I stamped the trees first and cut the image out with the circle Nestability. I also stamped the sentiment with white ink and cut that out with a labels die. On a separate sheet of cardstock, I stamped the bridge and fussy cut it. I colored the image with colored pencils. I used Stormy Sky Distress Ink for the Sky. For a snowy affect, I used Diamond Stickles and let those dry. Finally I mounted the bridge with foam dots. The border was made using a Martha Stewart punch which was layered with a white ribbon.

That is it! I hope you enjoyed today’s project! Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~
