Lucky to have you

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using the large Floral Fantasy background stamp from MFT stamps.

I started by setting the stamp in my Misti rubber side up in the platform. I taped my die cut rectangle piece to the door of my Misti aligning it to the centre of the stamp. I used a Kaleidacolor ink pad which has 5 different colours of ink and inked up the stamp. I had to do this several times in order to get a crisp image. I did use a different ink on the top portion as I wanted to have a dark blue colour with the greens.

I used 2 of the stitched rectangle dies to make the frame for my image from some black cardstock. The sentiment was stamped and embossed with white embossing powder.

I popped both the background and the sentiment pieces with foam tape.

I added a few clear sequins and that completes my card.

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.

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share that using a watercolour technique and some distress inks.

I created my background first and when it was dry I stamped the flower image from Altenew several times over the background. I then die cut the panel with 2 different sizes of Simon Says Stamp rectangle dies. I adhered the large panel to my card base and using the 2 rectangle dies cut a frame from some black cardstock.

I added the frame over the panel and then adhered the smaller panel over top with some foam adhesive. I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Added some pearl accents and that completes my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Rainbow cards

Hi everyone,

Today I have a couple of cards to share with a rainbow theme. As rainbows are everywhere these days I thought I would make a few different cards.

 

I started by creating my rainbow using a circle die from Spellbinders and different colours of cardstock. The white base of my card was die cut using a stitched rectangle die.

The sentiment was stamped with black ink and I added a little glitter heart where there was an open heart image.

The second card was created by using a stencil and dry embossing to create my background piece. The rainbow pieces were created using an Infinity die set from Hero Arts.

I layered the coloured pieces together and then used a white piece for the sentiment in the middle. I die cut several pieces of the white centrepiece and adhered them together so that they would create a nice raised image. The sentiment was stamped with black ink and some clear sequins were added for a little accents.

Well that's it for both of my cards and thanks so much for stopping by. I will be adding a couple more rainbow cards soon so stay tuned.

Kobi birthday

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using the fun Kobi stamp.

I first started by blending my background with a stencil and 3 different colours of Distress inks.

I put the background aside and went onto stamping my present loaded bear and colouring him and the presents with Copics.

I used a line word die and ran that through my machine 3 times using some shiny black cardstock and glued the 3 die cuts together.

I adhered the panel and the bear with some foam tape to my card base and then added the sentiment.

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

Thinking of you

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share that I created using Studio Katia's Half Striped Cover die.
This is actually quite an easy card to make and so very colourful.

As the die only cuts one half corner of the cardstock I cut it twice and then adhered the 2 die cuts together turning one so that I had the stripes cut in each corner. 

I then used multiple colours of cardstock and the die again to cut all the different colours. I layered the strips back into the openings. The sentiment was stamped onto the middle white strip of cardstock.

Well that completes my card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Good vibes

Hi everyone,

Sending Good Vibes. I must admit this is my first time using a Concord & 9th turnabout stamp set. It was fun to see the final result but a little note to myself for next time is to make sure that I stamp each turn a few times. I find the colours are just a little bit too light for my liking. Live and learn! Nevertheless it does make for a pretty design. The image is quite large and this makes for a 5.25" square card.

I used 4 colours of ink from various companies when stamping my images. I used some turquoise glitter cardstock for the sentiment and added some confetti for a little extra sparkle.

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

Each day is a new beginning

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share that I created using Simon Says Stamps fun Work Out stamp set. Being a Yogi myself I really love this stamp. The sentiment is perfect for the time we are in right now as each day is truly a new beginning. We will get through this and be even stronger when we do. Namaste!

I used a stencil for my background piece and blended with 2 different colours of Distress inks.

My Yoga girl was coloured with Copic markers. I used a sentiment from the same set to stamp in the centre of the stencil.

I layered my background piece onto a piece of red cardstock and then added some foam pieces to the back of the girl and added her to my card.

Well that's it for my 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.
