Card Cafe Creations-Colorful Seasons

Can you picture this card made with Berry Blast, Crushed Curry and Dapper Denim?  This design would be so simple to create in each of these colors. Why these particular colors?  They are the featured colors in the Color Theory designer paper stack.

Sign up for this card cafe if you are in the Jacksonville, Illinois area and make the card I featured yesterday free.

Tomorrow's card features the branch from this set, the flower framelits and sponging. Come back to check it out.

Isn't this a great WOW card.  It was designed by Sarah-Jane Kale`.

There are several great layers on this card.

1. A strip of the Color Theory designer paper.
2. Two different framelits from the bundle, the branch and the leaf.
3. Stamped images, and matching ribbon.

Together they make a great card that everyone attending the card cage can make it they RSVP by Thursday, August 31st.

Tomorrow's card would be easy to recreate in the 4 colors that are featured in the Color Theory designer paper.

  Do you wonder how the leaf color is made so varied?  It is created using the Baby Wipe technique. You will be able to make 2 of this card at my Cafe Creations class on Monday, September 4th.

  I received this card as a swap at a Vacation Stamping School in Champaign at the beginning of this month.  And I loved it.

1. Take a Baby Wipe or two and layer them in a shallow container.
2. Drop a variety of re-inkers onto the Baby Wipe.  This is now your ink pad.
3. Press your stamp onto the Baby Wipes and then onto your card.  You can reuse these Baby Wipes over and over again re-inking if they seem a little dry.

  What a simple great idea to make a simple but stunning card.

Tomorrow I will show off the card you will be able to make one of if you RSVP by Thursday, August 31st.

  I found this card on Pinterest created by Lyssa Zwolanek.  Thanks Lyssa for such a great card idea.

  1. Stamp the flowers in a curvy row on the front flap of the card.
  2. Cut around the outer edge of each flower to create the curvy front of the card.
  3. Place a strip of Color Theory card stock on the back flap and you now have a great looking easy to make card.


Come back tomorrow to see a card made with the leaves from this versatile set.

Halloween Swap-Merry Cafe

When I first looked at this card I loved the way Cathy combined the punch, and designer paper, with the cup from the Merry Cafe stamp set. But little did I know on first look that this card opens up.

Just pull out the tab from under the cup and you can open the card to this cute inside. This card combines the Merry Cafe stamp set with the Coffee Cafe stamp set from the annual catalog.  Who wouldn't want some Brew with Scream and Sugar!

Aren't these fun cards!  But they are not the only great swaps I received at Vacation Stamping School.  Come back next week to see some more swaps I have received at recent stamping events.
