Today’s card took a little thought but since there is a lot of snow up here, I decided to add some to it. What’s this all about you ask? Well because the rabbit image in the Nature’s Beauty stamp set(150528) became and Arctic Hare thanks to some Basic White cardstock and the Basic Gray ink […]
Techniques
BY THE BOOK
Today’s card uses a technique that I haven’t tried before, the Book-Binding technique. This is a fun and easy technique. Just cut a piece of cardstockto 11″ x 4-1/4″. Then score it at 5-1/2″ and again at 4-1/4″. Fold at the 5-1/2″ mark and then again at the 4-1/4″ mark. Then adhere that 1-1/4″ piece […]
BACK TO THE 70’S
I’m going back to the 70’s today with this cute card created with the Sale-A-Bration set, Driving By(158099)! Back in the 70’s it was pretty common to see Volkswagen vans painted up like this one, lol. I used a piece from the Abstract Beauty designer paper(158039) to paper-piece the van(Just stamp the image onto the […]
PRIZED PEONY
Today I had a chance to play with the “new to me” Prized Peony stamp set(152504). I love peonies and am seriously considering planting a bush next spring. This peony was created by Heat Embossing the image with White Emboss powder and then adding the colour with a Blending Brush(Emboss Resist Technique). The matching Peony Dies(152701) […]
WE GOT SNOW!
We got some snow over the weekend! Not unusual for us in November, but I was really enjoying having no snow so far. However, it did inspire me to create this card of snow-laden trees. I have tried to add ink inside an embossing folder but it has never worked out the way I imagined […]
PRETTY IN PINK FOR CHRISTMAS
Do you like to use non-traditional colours for Christmas cards? I’m finding that I like it as it makes for a good collection! Today’s card is definitely pretty in pink. I used a Blending Brush inked up with Polished Pink on a plain piece of Basic White and then cut this tree out with […]
EMBOSS RESIST CHRISTMAS
Hi, I’m back to Christmas this week, lol. I played around with some ink and Blending Brushes to create this pretty emboss resist card. Just stamp your images with Versamark, blend your choice of ink colours over them with our beautiful Blending Brushes and presto, a really pretty Christmas card shows up! Keeping it simple […]
TECHNIQUE MONDAY
Hi and welcome to a whole new week. I decided to start off the week with a Technique that I had fun with over the weekend. I don’t play with techniques often enough because they give a great background for any card! I started out with the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks(150697) and then carried through […]
