Sweet and Simple Yippee Skippee

Yippee Skippee

This was a card that we did for Stamp Camp a while back.  The washi tape is so great for quick and simple cards. All we did for this one was stamp the sentiment and add a strip of washi tape from the Ghingham Garden trio. The cupcakes were made using the Cupcake Builder punch. The cupcake tops are embossed and I trimmed a little piece from an Espresso cherry to create the chocolate dipped cherry. The Espresso cupcake bottom was crimped and the other was covered with the same washi tape. The Early Espresso bakers twine finishes it off nicely. Originally, I was going to put the cupcakes on another layer, but I liked the clean and simple look of just popping them up on the card base. An easy card and lots of fun to put together.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Gently Falling Grunge

Gently falling

I used the Gorgeous Grunge set to  “grunge” up this quick fall card. It’s a fun and  simple technique. I sponged and roughed up the edges to add a little more distressing. I love the size of the stamps in this set, they are large enough to add a lot of detail in a very short time. Adding the washi tape over the image gives it even more depth, because of the semi translucent nature of the tape. This was one of our Stamp Camp cards this month. Quick and fun.

Happy Stampin!

I am getting addicted to the Washi Tape! They are just fun to play with and mix and match. I really love how they make it easy to “fill in” anywhere your design “needs something”.  For a smaller image like this, they are the perfect background. I handcut the little bats from another image in the Halloween Bash set. I love the little bat image and have used it on several projects. The tombstone background is a Windows framelit piece that has 3 of the sides cut down.
