Book themed cards

Followed sketch for inspiration. Took a pre-printed DP and tore down the middle. Sponged Distress Oxide Vintage Photo on torn edge and around the outside. Adhered to Kraft card base. Stamped and colored image with Copics and fussy cut. Popped up with foam tape. Stamped and sponged sentiment and also popped up with foam. Added enamel dots in similar colors as the book image. Will give this to my niece who loves to read.

This is the second card I've made this weekend with this stamp set - In A Book (D2049 from Close to My Heart). This one used only the stamp set - nothing extra! And no surgery on any of the images. But I did use a bit of paper piecing to get a more realistic look to the lady's shirt. Some intricate cutting, but worth the effort for the look it gives. I have several friends that are perfect recipients of this card. Who would you send it to? I am entering this card in the current Time Out…

It's a group post day at Papertrey Ink that certainly puts a smile on my face. Looking forward to seeing all the fantastic Bibliophile and Book Cover Card projects today! YAY! All three of my projects today feature the two together. Been saving them for today. First up, a birthday card. There is a really great sentiment from Big Birthday Wishes (a great older set that hasn't aged a bit!) that I thought would work really well with the "once upon a time" die and stamp from Book Cover Card Dies…

Card #3 for the 2019 Spring-Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! I think this card is a favorite. Probably because it just hits so close to home. My bookshelves and Kindle are overflowing with books I want to read, but... So many books, so little time! This card has several layers. The base card is green and the frame behind the white top piece is the same color. The clock paper is on a white frame. Have a great day! Kathy

I have seen this type of card on Pinterest a few times and decided to give it a try. Used scraps of paper from my messy desk. Not sure I love it but I might try it again.

Hey Everyone! Jamie here and I've got a couple cards and a quick Halloween treats I made for my Son's class to share with you. First up is a birthday card I made for my Sister in Law. She loves to read so how perfect is a card with some books on the cover. The books were made with simple rectangles that I put score marks on and inked the edges. Then I stamped each book with a different sentiment. Last I added a banner die with the Happy Birthday sentiment. Next up I made a card for my Father…
