THE ANIMAL OUTING BUNDLE IS JUST SO DARN CUTE

June 14, 2018

Today’s card shows off the very cute Animal Outing Bundle (available in clear mount and wood mount) and matching designer paper. I giggled the whole time while creating this card!

We have two giraffes standing together here, awwww! I cut out the bottom image from the Animal Expedition designer series paper, covered it with a piece of Window Sheet and then cut a scalloped frame. The Layering Squares framelits dies are great for this. Of course the frame is a rectangle so I used the Paper Snips to cut it to size.

Then the Leaf Ribbon came into play….when using this ribbon, the Mini Glue Dots are your best friend!

Here’s the full list of everything that I used.

There’s more to the Party Panda stamp set than balloons! How about a little love note.

Isn’t that just too cute? The Paper Players posted a valentine theme and since the Party Panda set was still on my table – well, there you go! Also, that set is the challenge for What Will You Stamp this week. So I’m playing along with that challenge as well.

If you haven’t seen this oh-so-cute stamp set yet, here is the challenge photo. It’s just one of the Free selections from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue with a qualifying purchase!

If you look very closely at the photo, you will see that I used the Simple Stripes Embossing Folder(page 5 of the Occasions Catalogue) for a little background interest.

And, here is the full list of products that I used. Note – the Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Marker from the Brights collection was used to colour in that tiny heart.

PRETTY HEARTS ALL IN A ROW

The big “Heart” day is coming soon so I’m working on some ideas for my upcoming Hearts and Celebrations class. Today’s card is simple but packs a message!

I’m thinking that one could go the traditional route and re-create this one in blue for the men. What do you think?

I followed along with the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge

and that is why these hearts are lined up the way they are. There’s nothing like some great designer paper(Painted with Love Specialty) to add some interest as well.

If you’re looking to create your own Valentine cards, I invite you to sign up for the Feb. 6, 2018 card class. You will be able to make 4 cards that perfectly send your love to those special people in your life!

Today’s card is a tribute to the men in our life with some “manly” hearts done up in Powder Pink. That’s cool – right?

And….there’s a couple of blue hearts there too! I started off with the great sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and went from there. Using the Bundle of Love Specialty Designer paper with a light blue touch adds that traditional masculine feel.

Here’s the sketch that I started with in case you’d like to use it yourself.

Hi there. Today’s card shows a little trellised love with some watercolour wash.

Isn’t it pretty! I used an Aqua Painter and Calypso Coral ink to was the colour onto the panel and then, for a little more interest, cut it out with the trellis die from Eclectic Layers Thinlits dies. All it needed then was a few tiny hearts and that simple sentiment from the Party Pandas stamp set. Of course, a few strategically place pearls don’t hurt either!

The inspiration for this card came from The Paper Players challenge to create a love note. Ok, it’s not really clean and simple, but it is a pretty love note!

Today’s card shows just a couple of the lovely hearts that are part of the Heart Happiness stamp set from the Occasions Catalogue.

That beautiful background comes from the Painted with Love Specialty Designer series paper! It’s very thick and easily suited for a card base all by itself. There are several beautiful designs and I encourage you to take another look at it. These patterns aren’t just for Valentines!

The Brights enamel dots were a “last minute” add and I borrowed a couple of extras from the January Paper Pumpkin kit.

A RED ROSE SAYS I ADORE YOU

Happy day to you and welcome to today’s adore you card!

I played around with the Brilliant Red and Moss Green crystals from the Brusho® Crystal Colour collection to get this cool look.

The first step was to spread water over the shimmery white piece of cardstock with an Aqua Painter and then sprinkle the red crystals. After that I sprinkled the green crystals and used our Stampin’ Spritzer to help spread the colours. I was impatient, so used the Heat Tool to dry it and then added that beautiful rose image from the Graceful Garden stamp set with those sweet tiny hearts from the Heart Happiness set that’s in the Occasions Catalogue.

The entire layout for this card came from the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week. Here’s a look at the sketch.

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!

~~~Clara~~~

I really enjoy Cynthia’s creative skills and look forward to going to her classes and workshops. Cynthia always has fun and inspirational project ideas. She is always ready to lend a hand and help you where needed, if she doesn’t have an answer for you, she will do her best to find one ASAP. I would go to any one of her classes or workshops anytime for years to come.

She puts a lot of thought and effort into planning her classes. I am very fortunate to have met Cynthia, and am looking forward to learning from her for many years to come. Thanks Cynthia....you are the best!!
