The Count loves the beach - Everyday

Hi everyone,

I made this fun tag of the Count who loves going to the beach.



I started by stamping my background with Versamark embossing ink and then adding white embossing powder. After that was heat set I blended on my colours of Distress inks.


I die cut the count in different shades of beige card stock.




I added different patterned papers for his swim suit and cape/towel.


I die cut a ball from red and white card stock and added a fence on each side of the tag.



I die cut a banner and the words were die cut 3 times and glued together.

Below is a list of products used and for what part of the tag they were used on.

Sunny days

Hi everyone,

Well it’s been a while since I’ve posted here but I have a fun card to share with you.


I used the Mosaic embossing folder on white card stock. I then took some Distress sprays and sprayed them on the piece in rainbow order.



I die cut the doily with vellum and inked the edges. I die cut the frame with black card stock and added gold metallic circle dies. The black circle and sentiment are Idea-ology stickers. I die cut the butterflies from black shiny card stock.


Below is a photo of the supplies I used.

Hi everyone,

I have never made an ATC before but thought I would give it a try. It’s quite challenging to me to a lot in a small space. Well I had fun and maybe this is a new crafty venture for me. Who knows 🤔 


Started by adding a little colour to the backgrounds with Distress Watercolour pencils.

I then added a stencil to each with Grit paste and sprayed on some Distress spray stains.

Friendship

Hi everyone,

The new Love Notes stamp set from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous isn’t just for Valentine’s Day.
Here I used it to create a card for a friend.


 I smooshed the ink pads over my craft mat, spritzed with a little water and used a paint brush to pick up some colour to lightly swipe over a piece of white card stock to create my background panel.




Layered a white die cut panel over top, added my sentiment and a red embossed heart.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻❤️

Happy Birthday treat box

Hi everyone,

It has been a while but I thought I would share my little birthday treat box with you today.



I started my die cutting the box with plain white card stock, and then I painted on the rainbow of colours using distress paints, and then added little drops with a Mica stain spray.

At the end of each box I added a piece of gold coloured metallic card stock.



I die cut the Happy birthday with gold glitter card stock and adhered the letters to the front of the box.



It was pretty quick and easy to do but certainly makes a nice little treat box to give to someone for their birthday or any other occasion for that matter.

I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by🙏🏻
