So proud of you!

Hi guys! It's Jamie, from Doin' it the Wright Way, and I'm back! My scrapbooking buddy had a need for a card the other day, and I told her she couldn't go to the store to buy one, that I wanted to make one for her.

I had just bought some new dies after seeing all the lovely creations the oh-so-talented Beth makes with them, so I wanted to give them a try. 

After being told the recipient's favorite color was blue, I, of course, busted out my distress oxide inks. Seriously, if you don't have any yet, you NEED to get some. They're addicting, AND, they're on sale over at our SumMore Fun shop!

Then I got out my new peek-a-boo die set and had fun creating this card. I simply added two layers of white cardstock for the die-cut portion and glued it all together. 

For my sentiment, I needed to use the word proud. You'll never guess what stamp set I found it on!?! Raisin Boat's Strokes of Pride stamp set. It was perfect for my sentiment, even though it's a patriotic set! I stamped it with my distress oxide and then embossed it with a clear powder.

To finish it off, I added some coordinating blue gems and some embroidery floss. 

A couple of days after the event, the recipient of the card reached out to me and asked me to make her some thank you cards.

For the first card, I used the super cool Retro Mod reversible embossing folder (also on a HUGE sale) for the dark blue cardstock. I added it to a white card base.

For my sentiment, I used the beautiful Victorine Originals thank you stamp, and embossed it onto white cardstock. I inked the edges and added some clear rhinestones to finish it off.

For the second card, I went back to my distress oxides and had some fun "flicking" the color off a paint brush onto a piece of white cardstock. I added some washi tape and adhered that all onto an embossed card base.

For the sentiment, I went back to my go-to sentiment stamp set of Raisin Boat's Flourishing Thoughts. I inked the edges of my sentiment piece and then attached it with pop dots. Some round coordinating gems finished it off.

Thanks for checking out my latest creations. I'm gearing up to attend a few scrapbooking crops this month, so hope to have some scrapbooking layouts to share with you soon!

Unicorn Scrapbook Layout

Check out Jamie Wright's new scrapbooking layout!

I created a fun unicorn scrapbook layout that I want to share with you today. 

I started with Dyllusions ink for the background, making sure to create a vibrant background that blended together well. I chose two horse stamps from Victorine Originals. Heart Horse (3061-B) and Star Horse (3059-B). I stamped those two images all around the pages in random colors. 

There was only one problem.  I wanted unicorns and these were horses. No problem, really. I drew a horn. Presto, chango, unicorns!

I wanted a beautiful unicorn to finish off the layout, so I grabbed Prancing Unicorn (1295-D) and hot foiled it with a rainbow foil.

 

Here are the pages separately.

Thank you for looking!  I hope you get some ideas for your next project.

Graduation Cards

Hi all! Jamie here and I have graduation cards galore! My husband is a teacher of seniors, so every year, I have lots of graduation cards to make. We can't afford to give every graduate a huge gift (this year, we were invited to over 25 parties), so I feel like a handmade card just for them is a nice touch. This year, I was able to make quite a few cards with the awesome graduation stamps from Victorine Originals!

Most of these cards were actually from a one-sheet-wonder pattern; which is a great way to turn out a lot of cards at one time.

 

For this card, and a few of the following cards, I used the Small Graduation cap stamp - it's so versatile! I colored it in with chalk to give it a fun look! I finished it off with a Class of 2017 stamp.

 

This card uses the same stamps, but looks completely different! I love stamps that can be used in so many different ways!

 

This one is a little different as I was playing with my distressing spray inks - I love those things! Then, I embossed the stamped images in gold over the top, which really makes them pop. I also used the Congratulations graduate stamp. 

 

For this card, I used the Happy Graduation stamp, which you can actually get in two different sizes! I sponged the multiple colors of ink right onto the stamp to get the two colors; then I also sponged my ribbon so it matched exactly.

 

I dry embossed this card, using my embossing machine, then I sponged over the top of the design. I like how the texture really makes this card pop! The Congratulations stamp is so versatile that it can be used for many different types of cards! I added the small graduation cap again to make this into a simple, cute graduation card!

 

This cute Graduation Congratulations stamp would work with any layout of card! Adding the bling to this card really helps it pop!

 

Again, I used the script Congratulations stamp inked in different colors for this simple card. Adding fibers takes your card to other dimensions so quickly!

 

Sparkles and chalk helped the Diploma stamp pop off the page for this graduation card. The Congratulations Graduate stamp offered the perfect sentiment!

 

This card uses both the small graduation stamp and Congratulations stamp. I used chalk again to make the hat pop.

To see these and more of the awesome graduation stamps, hop on over to Victorine Originals. 

Happy crafting!
