Sparkly thank you card

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using a stencil from Pinkfresh Studio and some ink blending with Distress 

Oxides.

I started by securing a slimline stencil to a white panel on my Make Art Stay-tion. As this was a slimline stencil I used a rectangle masking stencil over top so that I could have a nice clean white border around the edges of my panel and then began blending.

When I was finished with the blending I die cut a scalloped frame to go over top. I adhered the panel and my frame to my card base. The sentiment (Perfect Sentiments from Pinkfresh Studio) was stamped with black ink and cut out with the matching die. 

The wonderful thing about this stamp and die set is that you can stamp and die cut several different sentiments at once having some left over for other cards.

After the sentiment was adhered with foam tape I added the jewels to my card. Two rows of turquoise and one row of yellow. These beautiful sparkly jewels are also from Pinkfresh Studio.

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

 Hi everyone,

Today I have a quick and fun Halloween card to share for World Cardmaking Day.

I started by using a stencil mask from Taylored Expressions lining it up to where I wanted to do my ink blending.

I used 2 different distress inks to do my blending working my way from the outside with the darker colour and then the lighter ink towards the middle.

The alphabet letters were die cut from black cardstock to which I adhered a little foil to the bottom edges and ran the letters through my laminator. I also die cut the letters a second time using white card stock so that I could make a little shadow behind them and adhered them to my panel.

While the mask was still in place I added some black ink splatters.

The letters were added to the panel with foam tape and I also foam mounted a tiny die cut bat to the panel.

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

Thankful for you

Hi everyone,

A pretty heart stencil card for today dedicated to all the wonderful hard working people here in Canada and around the world for keeping us safe and fed.  We just can't express in enough words how very thankful we are to them putting themselves at risk every single day.

I used a Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle die to cut out my background piece and then used my pink blending brush from Taylored Expressions to fill in the stencil with a heavy hand and went with a lighter hand towards the centre of the stencil using Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink.

The larger sentiment was die cut from shiny black cardstock and the smaller sentiment was die cut once with white cardstock and then again with the same shiny black cardstock and the letters were inlaid into the sentiment.

I added a little glitter to the two o's and the r in the You sentiment to give in a little sparkle.

Pink pearl embellishments were added and that completes my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Warm Winter wishes

Hi everyone,

Well it's the last day of 2019 and I have finished this year off with a Zumba class this morning and managed to squeak in my last card for the year. Woo Hoo! 

I started by creating my background by blending a couple of colours of Distress oxide inks onto a white background which I had cut out using a wonky stitched rectangle die. I then applied some Gina K glitter paste using a stencil from Taylored Expressions.

I set that aside to dry and created my large sentiment by diecutting 3 times and layering together and blending some Distress oxide ink over top.

I coloured my cute little rabbit with Copics.

I adhered my panel to a base of patterned cardstock and foam mounted the large die cut sentiment.

The bunny was foam mounted and the tiny winter was heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I added some glossy accents to the tiny flower and added a black gel pen to the nose and eyes.

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

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share with a Fall theme that I will also be entering in Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Fall/Autumn Colors challenge which can be found here.

I started by die cutting my card panel using a wonky stitched rectangle die.

I then taped down the stitched leaves and embossed them with my diecutting machine. I added some colour by using my Taylored Expressions brushes and Oxide inks to ink blend my background.

I splattered some water droplets over the panel, added some foam tape and adhered it to my card base.

I stamped the Simon Says sentiment onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

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

Poinsettia Christmas

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share that I created using the new Sunny Studio Stamps Layered Poinsettia die set and new large sentiment.

I started by creating my background using a stencil from Altenew and 3 of their mini ink cubes.

I adhered the stencil to my cardstock panel and began applying the colours from the bottom first with my lightest ink and then the next darker ink, then the darkest and then repeating the inks again from dark to light to the top of my card. Used my new Taylored Expressions ink blending brushes. Love, love, love these.

Once I was happy with the stripes I applied a Simon Says Stamp stencil over top of the panel and added Glitter Snow embossing paste.

I stamped the large sentiment also new from Sunny Studio Stamps with Versamark ink and then heat embossed with white powder over top.

The poinsettia was created using 4 different shades of pinks and also a dark green. The leaves were stamped with Versamark and clear embossed. Stamped the berries and heat embossed them in white.

I added my panel to my top folding card base and then added the poinsettia with foam pieces.

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

Falling leaves thanks

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share that I created for the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge #131 where the theme is 'Falling for Fall'.

I started by creating my background using a stencil and 3 different colours of Distress inks and using my new Taylored Expressions blending brushes. I absolutely love them. The blending is so smooth and crisp. I also blending another leaf on a small piece of white cardstock, fussy cut it out and popped it onto my panel with some foam dots.

The whole panel was cut using a wonky stitched rectangle die.

I die cut the Thanks die with black cardstock a couple of time and glued them together. The other words were stamped with clear embossing powder and embossed with white embossing powder.

The whole panel was attached to my card to which I had adhered a black piece of cardstock. I added a few sequins to finish off my card.

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