Here
are some other birthday cards. I finally figured out the simplest of
techniques in order to make a card using black paper. I was always
frustrated because I would have to use white or silver ink to stamp the
message and then would have to use a white or silver pen to sign the
card. I finally just took some plain old printer paper, cut it approx.
1/4" smaller than the card and placed it inside the card. I was able to
stamp the sentiment in black ink and sign with a regular pen. It was
definitely a should-a had a V-8 moment.
The
brown and coral colored card below has some added detail to it. Not
only did I use the two-step stamping technique, but the stamped tag at
the top is actually stamped on the inside of the card and the see
through tag-window is punched on the front of the card.
I
made this card for my friend Kim. I totally scraplifted the template
from the Fall 2008 SU! catalog. As you can see, the stamp on the inside
didn't turn out so great. I usually make a duplicate card to keep for
myself and it's a good thing. The one given to her looked much nicer on
the inside.
This
is why I keep a card for myself. I use it as a template and physically
have it there for measurements and such. I can then just change the
colors, papers, and embellishments for a whole new card!
This
is a spinner card. I love spinner cards! My friend Darlene was a SU!
demo and she taught us how to do this at one of our SU! club meetings.
She always had cool stuff to teach us.
These cards were made with my Cricut and Cuttlebug:
