The other day a few of us were talking about the number of birthdays that come up over the months. I have quite a few that happen over the next few so I’m starting off with this beautiful birthday card. Sometimes it’s nice to try a different layout and Freshly Made Sketches provided the perfect […]
Techniques
THIS ONE IS GOLDEN
I haven’t used the Sale-A-Bration set, Beautiful Peacock for a while, so today is the day! It’s just so darn pretty done up in Gold Emboss powder! I think that adding the Lemon Lime Twist adds to its golden prettiness, don’t you? I also used a Sponge Dauber to add a little Daffodil Delight ink […]
BRAVEHEART AGAINST THE DRAGON
Here’s a little Braveheart to start your week. That cute little Braveheart looks pretty proud after vanquishing the dragon don’t you think? I pulled out our fabulous Stampin’ Blends to colour that little guy and added a bit of glimmer to help him celebrate his feat! Of course one needs to start off with a […]
THERE’S NO STAMPING ON THIS CARD
There’s no stamping on this card – I let the die-cuts do all the work! I started with a piece of Shimmery White cardstock, sprinkled 3 of the colours from the Brusho® Crystal Colour collection and then used our Stampin’ Spritzer to add the “wet” to help spread the colours. After it dried, I attached […]
WHAT DO THE MERMAIDS SAY?
What do the mermaids say? Well, that you are amazing! Aren’t they just too cute? I had fun colouring with our fine Watercolor Pencils and an Aqua Painter. TIP: Because these are smaller images, I used the Aqua Painter with the smaller tip. The Magical Mates Framelits dies make it so easy to cut them […]
SAYING THANK YOU WITH FLOWERS
Today is a good day as I was playing with a very pretty Hostess stamp set called Background Bits(144029CM 144026WM). This stamp set has 8 images that includes two greetings but I chose to use a greeting from the Sale-A-Bration set, Heartfelt Blooms. I started with this great card sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and […]
PANDAS AND BALLOONS
Pandas and Balloons, the perfect party combination! That’s the theme for today’s really cute card. I followed along with the layout from CAS(E) this sketch and used a post-it note to do some masking. I wanted to show that bevy of balloons by themselves so laid the post-it over the card front so the panda […]
MANLY HEARTS
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 […]
