{Others} Lost in Space!

Let me tell you - I worked hard on these projects - so for me to space on them (or have them lost in Cyberspace) - makes me want to kick myself in the kiester!

OUCH! (who kicked me?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is the first Lostie!

Kraft paper is stamped with close to cocoa, creamy caramel and chocolate chip (adornments and backgrounds & borders). I used dimensionals to prop up the chocolate chip piece, then offset the creamy caramel just slightly. The sentiment is from never at a loss 4 words. The corners of the creamy caramel ere stamped with the swirl from backgrounds & borders. I placed the twill just underneath the chocolate chip and secured it with brads.
Such a simple card, great masculine card!

This is adornments from KSS: a set that really took me out of my comfort zone. I saw it and knew that I could make some really cool stuff with it!

This is a mixture of Adornments & Never at a loss 4 words. There is a hint of backgrounds and borders (all Kitchen Sink Stamps). The paper is retired SU! desiger paper. I stamped the borders and Backgrounds on the saffron paper with creamy caramel ink. Then I wrapped a WIDE grossgrain ribbon around the card. I put an embossed ribbon atop that. The adornments is stamped with creamy caramel, then close to cocoa and chocolate chip. The key is river rock, olive and artichoke. Sentiment in Saffron and ruby. The edges of the main image were sponged with close to cocoa.

This one is one I made last month. While blog surfing at Kristina Werner's blog, I saw her simple Mother's day card and loved how she used the circle punch to create the scalloped edge. HAD TO TRY IT!

I started with a 4.25x4.25 card base in sage. I stamped the dotted background with the stamp from backgrounds & borders. The main image is on whisper white with sage and close to cocoa inks. The small flowers are from the borders & backgrounds set (I reach for this set all the time!) and the sentiment is from Never at a loss 4 words (Kitchen Sink Stamps).

I punched the circles in white, then added some adhesive to the chocolate chip paper, then carefully added the circles, trimmed the edges. A little ribbon (mayarts/starlitstudio) in white sheer polkadot and this card is ready to be sent to a sick friend!
