Hey, Friend

Hi everyone,

I then blended 3 different colours of Distress ink over my background.

I stamped the sentiments on white card stock and added them to a strip of black card stock.

 I added some sequins to complete my card.

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

Holiday note

 Hi everyone,

Well it’s been a while since I have posted here but I hope you have all had a joyful Christmas as much as anyone can under the current circumstances.

Well that said I have a card to share with you today.

I started with a green stitched panel and adhered my stencil from the Warm Wishes Collection by Vicki Boutin and then added green glitter over top. 

I added red Stickles to the berries and set the whole thing aside to dry.

The sentiment was stamped on black card stock and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I used the coordinating die to cut it out.

I adhered my panel to a lighter piece of green card stock and then added it to my white card base.

This is a pretty quick card and oh so pretty with all that glitter.

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

Celebrate the season

 Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using a couple of stencils and some embossing paste. It was difficult to capture the beautiful sparkle of the paste with the lighting I had on the day I took the photo but it really is quite pretty 🤩 

I started with the tree stencil first and applied some Gina K glitter gel on to a piece of wood grain card stock. I set that aside to dry and went on to die cutting 3 tiny birds from some red card stock.

Once the first stencil piece was dry I carefully added a snow stencil to my piece and added some distress paste.

I mounted the panel with foam tape on to a piece of black card stock and then added that to my card.

The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder and added to my card with foam tape.

I popped up the little bird with a small foam dot and that completes my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Thinking of you

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using a Gina K. Designs stencil, some Distress Oxide inks and a technique that I saw Laura Bassen do. She called it 2 layer ink blending on Kraft.

 

I started by cutting a kraft coloured panel slightly smaller than my card base. I taped the stencil down to the panel and began to apply white pigment ink, starting at the top and working my way to the bottom. 

Once I was happy with the white ink that I had applied I shifted the stencil slightly up and to the right and started to ink blend various colours of Distress oxide inks over the white ink. It gave a sort of ghost or shadow. This is a technique from a Laura Bassen video that I saw on Simon Says Stamp website (May 5, 2020). 

The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I taped the stencil to my card and then added the sentiment with some foam tape.

Well that's it for my and thanks so much for stopping by.

More rainbow cards

Hi everyone,

I have had so much fun making these rainbow cards. Given everything going on in the world at this time it is nice to know there is a rainbow somewhere. Maybe Hawaii!!

For my 1st card I started by creating my cloud background using a stencil and ink blending Unicorn white ink onto a light blue piece of cardstock. 

The clouds from MFT were die cut from a piece of white cardstock which I had embossed using a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The rainbow was die cut using a die from Paper Smooches and the sentiment was white embossed onto a piece of black cardstock using a stamp from Mama Elephant.

I added some glitter to the edges of each of the clouds and that's it for this card.

For my second card I used a rounded rectangle Infinity die set from Hero Arts cutting out each of the colours of cardstock and stacking them together and adding a white embossed sentiment to the middle piece.

To add a little interest to my background I used a heart stencil from Simon Says Stamp and Gina K's Iridescent glitter. Hard to tell in the photo but there is a lot of glittery sparkle going on here.

For my last card I die cut the background panel using a Wonky Stitched rectangle die and then used a couple of Lawn Fawn cloud stencils to create the clouds. The rainbow was die cut using circle dies and coloured cardstock. The sun is Hero Arts and yellow cardstock with little hearts that were created with a stencil. I added the sentiment and some Iridescent Bubbles for a little accent.

Well there you have it for the remainder of my rainbow cards. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Sparkly stencilled birthday card

Hi everyone,

Well it's been a while since I've posted anything here. I have been busy creating cards, making masks and baking a lot. I hope everyone is doing the social distancing thing to try and flatten the curve although here in Quebec the situation is not great, especially in seniors' residences. We have the most cases in Canada. Hopefully we can get the numbers down soon and start to resume our new normal life, whatever that looks like. Anyways stay healthy, stay safe!

With all that being said here are some cards that I have done lately.

And here's another one that I made for Easter for my cute little granddaughter. The easter egg changes to a different colour with every turn of the wheel.

Hope you enjoyed seeing these and thanks so much for stopping by.

Sparkly Birthday

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share created with a Simon Says Stamp stencil, distress oxide inks and Gina K Designs white Glitter glitz gel.

I die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die and some white cardstock. I applied my stencil and started to blend 3 different colours of Distress Oxide inks overlapping the colours. When I was happy with the blend I left my stencil in place and applied a thin layer of glitter gel over top. I set that aside to dry.

The sentiment was die cut from a piece of black cardstock and added to my card panel.

I added some foam tape to the back of my panel and added it to my card base.

The sparkle on this card is absolutely stunning if you could just see it in person. This glitter gel can be added over top of any colour of ink and voila it looks like a different colour of glitter was added to each colour. Love this product.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.
