Easy Geek Chic Cards | Video

Hi there!  Today I'm sharing two cards that are super easy, and the layout is a great simple one to keep in your arsenal.

For these cards, I'm using the Grid Paper background stamp, and the Geek Chic stamp set.

I started off by stamping the background onto two pieces of A2 sized Whip Cream card stock panels.  I used Tin Pail ink on one panel, and Pool Party ink on the second.

I cut two pieces of card stock at 2.5" wide, to stamp my center panels.  I stamped and heat embossed the computer and glasses image, and the sentiment, on one panel.  I trimmed that down a bit, and stamped the pocket protector image randomly on the background stamped in Tin Pail.  I added the center panel on foam squares, then added a few googly eyes to the computer image.  Then I adhered the card front to a top folding Whip Cream card base.

For the second card, I stamped the atom image in Lemon Drop, Limeade Splash, and Candy Apple, on the background with the Pool Play grid.  Then I stamped the atom image in River Stone on the center panel I had cut.  I stamped the sentiment beneath in Candy Apple, and trimmed down the center panel.  I adhered the card front to another card base, and added the center panel with foam squares.

Thanks for stopping by!

Much love,

Hello Friend

As soon as I saw the new Good Life color family, I knew Tin Pail was going to be the one to make my heart beat a little faster.  I've been anxiously waiting for a pale, slightly warm, gray for a while, so this one just pushed all the right buttons for me.  

For today's card, I combined the Tin Pail card stock - stamped with Tin Pail ink and the Grid Paper background stamp - with Chambray Shirt card stock, gold mirror paper, Good Life Prints paper, and vellum die cuts.  I stamped one of the sentiments from the Sending Sunshine ATS in place on my card, and layered up the pieces below.  Then I finished it off with some Fashion Gold pieces in between the vellum leaves.

Didn't that card turn out pretty?  I love the sharp lines of the Grid Paper stamp, with the flowing lines of the floral print, scripty sentiment, and Summer Branch die.

Talk Nerdy

During the FSJ Better Together Convention last month, I led one of the breakout sessions on Color Theory.  As I was prepping that session, I was putting together examples of different colors from the FSJ line that fit the types of color combinations.  I REALLY liked a few of these sample combinations, and they made their way into the cards I was also prepping for my Designer Showcase samples board.  

This particular combination was one of the first I tried.  I really liked the colors together, but also didn't want a card that was too bright.  So I used a lot of Whip Cream, and created masks using the circle dies, to mask off small sections to stamp.  I rotated the stamp a little when I stamped the Sweet Berry, so that the lines were at a different angle.  My sentiment and the glasses image were both heat embossed in black onto vellum, and then once the card was put together, I added Journey Glaze "lenses" to the glasses. 

Thanks for stopping by!
