I REALLY need to be studying for my exam tomorrow - so this post will have to be quick! Any questions about these cards can be posted in the comment section of this post and I will get to them after tomorrow :o)
I sat down for a bit last night and ended up cranking out 5 cards (I know I was shocked too ----- LOL *wink*) so here they all are!
All stamps used are from GinaK Designs.
First off here's my sample for my Friday Sketch #11 <-------click!
I stamped the tulip from GinaK's Spring Blooms set (you can't buy it - you get it for free if you buy any 3 stamp sets) then colored it in with Copic Markers.
I used Star Dust stickles on the flower, you can't tell but the DCWV patterned paper has bits of glitter on it too - really cool stuff.
The "friend" stamp is from Gina's Tag, You're It! set.
This card uses the same DCWV patterned paper as the card above - and I hafta say I am really pleased with how it turned out!
I used the same GinaK Spring Blooms set - stamping and masking a couple of the blooms then stamping more of the flowers - making them appear "behind" the ones I had masked.
I used Copic markers to color in the flowers then added a bit of Star Dust stickles to the flowers themselves.
The sentiment is from the same set - I punched it out with Stampin' Up!'s small oval punch, matted it with a SU! large oval punch, then attached it to the (SU!) ribbon with DoodleBug brads.
The stamps used on the next 3 cards are by Rupa Shevde - a new illustrator for GinaK designs. You can see the full set here.
I stamped the topiary then colored it in with Copic markers - you can see that I added Stickles to the centers.
I stamped the sentiment on the side then added the DoodleBug brads.
The blue ribbon is May Arts, the orange is Stampin' Up! - and same patterned paper as above.
For the last 2 cards I used more of my Daisy Bucket patterned paper.
I used Copic Markers to color in the image, stamped the sentiment then trimmed it with my paper trimmer and used my Stampin' Up! Word Window Punch to round the edges.
I used more of my May Arts ribbon (this ribbon is SO pretty in real life - really shimmery!)
***A lot of people ask me what I use to punch through the card stock to slip the ribbon through - I have the Making Memories Ribbon Slot punch that I use with my MM Instant Setter. LOVE that thing.***
I really like how this one turned out.
I stamped the phone 3 times, punched them out with Stampin' Up!'s 1 3/8" circle punch, then colored them in with Copic Markers.
I matted each circle with a Marvy Extra Jumbo Scalloped circle punched out of black card stock.
I used some little clear rain dots from GinaK's store in the center of the dial on each phone - they fit perfectly!!
I finished off the card with some black gingham ribbon, and the sentiment (the bling in front of the sentiment is from A Muse).
FYI if you haven't already seen it you can check out my little video tutorial HERE on how I use my corner rounder punch to make a scalloped edge.

OK I gotta run - have a great rest of the weekend everyone and I hope y'all liked the cards!! :o)
