3 and 1

Tonight I got to design my cards and 3-D project for Friday Night's Stamping Fun.Hence the name for my title, 3 and 1. :)  Here are the things I came up with.  This first card was CASED from here on SCS.  I changed a few things but loved trying these colors together.  Olive, marina mist and pretty in pink.  The background was brayered then sponged with marina mist.  Then I cut olive paper for the scallop.  I stamped the flowers in black to make this look like an evening scene.  I used my 1 inch punch to punch out a sticky note.  I had the sticky note on there the whole time I was brayering and sponging.  When I removed the circle I sponged a little bit so the moon wouldn't be so white. I like the softer look.  I added pearls to two flower centers and a sparkly olive brad to the little banner.
This second card is using Gently Falling two-step stamping set.  Fun to use to be sure.  I stamped the leaf in cajun then burgundy for the detail stamp.  I used crumb cake and brown for the acorns. I tore paper above and below the image.  I also added stamping to the envelope.
This was a small white bag I picked up at Hollo's in brunswick.  I used the take a sip wheel with chocolate chip ink for the bag.  I then used Like it a Latte retired SU set for the latte.  I added ridinghood red ribbon and layered the circles.  The latte foam is made with dimensional fabric paint with glitter that I found in Joann's.  I put it on then used my heat tool to dry it.
I stamped using cajun craze ink on the crumb cake paper along the border.  I put crumb cake cardstock through the cuttlebug with the tree bark embossing folder.  I cut out the top note in cajun craze and a light brown paper. I stamped in garden green then stamped off to make the trees in the back.  I sponged crumb cake around the light brown top note  piece.  I added Happy Birthday using garden green ink. 
I hope the ladies like these projects.  I've begun putting things together for our show.  Here's one of the boxes I got at Hollo's on Brunswick that is filled with 4 cards and envys.  I added stretchy cord and some holly.  What do you think?  Jan and I made a dozen cards yesterday and packaged them in a clear box from Hollo's in Brunswick.  I added stretchy cord and holly.

Thank you for stopping by.  I'm happy I have these designed, now all I have to do is cut paper.
I hope our rain stops soon, or we'll be building an ark here in Cleveland...............rain, rain, go away, come again another day.............LOL.
Blessings,

These are all just wonderful, Sue! Your technique and design make the first card a true beauty. Nice to see your two-step stamping of the leaves. I've been thinking about adding more two-step stamps to my collection for quicker cards than I usually make. Need that sometimes, and they really do look great. Also, that coffee cup wheel is so cute! I think I'll check that out, too. I'm leaving here inspired today, and I thank you for that!
