Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so I have another stunning card to share to mark this special occasion.
I cased Steffi Helmschrott's card, but made a few changes, like using a cute little envelope instead of a box. This card was a bit of a challenge to add the red and white splatter dots, as I wanted it to look like the splatter was coming out of the envelope.....I got there in the end.
Need a wedding card that's a little more special? If so, then I have the perfect card for you. It's a wedding shaker card, which uses the 'Sip Sip Hooray' and the 'Your Perfect Day' stamps sets.
I wanted to keep the card really simple, but still making sure it had some elegance about it. The photo doesn't really do the card any justice, it looks so much better in real life and is very sparkly.
Sharing another card which uses the 'Snailed It' stamp set and the coordinating dies. I love how bright and fun this card is, and it will make a perfect birthday card to send in the mail.
I have a clean and simple card for you today, which literally only took about 10-15 minutes to make.
I cased Dena Rekow's card, and whilst my layout and colours are pretty much the same, I did change the die-cut word, stamped sentiment, and the type of flower.
I am pretty sure everyone loves a beautiful sunflower...don't they? Well I know I do, they are big and bright and make me happy.
I have used the 'Celebrate Sunflowers' stamp set and coordinating dies for this card. The sentiment is from the 'Chalk Talk' stamp set, and I used the 'Wood Textures' DSP and some clear epoxy drops and a little ribbon to finish the card off.
How cute are these little birthday chicks from the 'Hey Birthday Chick' stamp set. I had so much fun creating this card. I added some of the new DSP to the bottom of the card base and layered a plain white piece of card stock with a real red border over the top. I used my blender pens to colour the chicks, and added a sentiment and some black bling to finish the card off.
I love that the balloon is tied to the chicks tail feathers.....I can see a potential card of having the chick and balloon floating in some clouds for my next card.
My favourite products in the new January-June mini catalogue is definitely the 'Snailed It' stamp set with the coordinating dies. I love how modern and fun this stamp set is and you can create so many wonderful cards with this set.
I was inspired by Manuela Geiswinkler's card, but made a few changes to make it my own.
I will be sharing several cards using this set over the coming months, so please check back soon to see my other creations.
Today I wanted to share a card I made which uses both the 'Flowering Cactus' stamps and dies, and the 'Potted Succulents' dies. I really liked the cards Mikaela Titheridge made, but wanted to add a few extra pieces to the card to soften it a little, and to make it my own. I hope you like what I have done.
Another simple yet stunning card you can make using the 'bring on the presents' stamp set and coordinating dies.
I silver embossed the big bow onto silver foil cardstock and die cut the image and added it to my card base. I added some green foliage, twigs and a bow center from copper glimmer cardstock, and finished it off with a black tag sentiment.
I am a little late with sharing some Christmas cards this year, but better late than never right!
I love the 'detailed deer thinlits dies' and still use them all the time. This card is so simple to make as it is mainly die cuts layered together. I embossed some white cardstock and used it with gold foil velum for the background. The deer was die cut from gold foil cardstock which makes the card look very elegant. I added some holly and berries and a sentiment to finish the card off.
I love the 'snow globe shaker domes' and the coordinating dies, however in Australia it is extremely rare for us to have a white Christmas. I decided to use the 'so santa' stamp set with the domes and dies and feel this is a little more fitting for our Aussie climate during the Christmas season. After all it is summer here, and when we are on holidays we like to spend our time at the beach in the sun, sand and surf.
I filled my shaker dome with some tiny sea shells and stamped starfish. I used my blender pens to colour the image and chose the perfect sentiment.
Need a super special card for an important milestone birthday? Then why not consider making a gorgeous card in a box. This card folds flat so is perfect for posting to that special someone.
I absolutely love the colour combination of this card. I use my card in a box tutorial to make the box structure, which is super easy, and then decorated it using some older (retired) stamping up stamps sets that I still adore and won't get rid of.
I used the 'baby wipes stamping technique' for the larger butterflies, which is a fun way to make them look a little more interesting.
I just love the 'Follow your dreams' stamp set, even though it is now retired, I still get plenty of use from this set. It's pertfect for birthday cards or graduation cards...and what girl doesn't love dream catchers.
I was inspired by Steffi Helmschrott's card and only made a few subtle changes. I really love the gold embossed tips of the feathers which you can see well in the second image.
It is father's day here in Australia today, so I have one more perfect card to share for the occasion.
I used the following stamp sets to create the card: mixed drinks (for the beer), gorgeous grunge, timeless textures, and touches of texture (for the background) and labeler alphabet (for the sentiment). I added some black metallic thread and clear enamel dots for the finishing touches.
Cheers to all the dads out there, happy father's day!
Wow, it's been a while since I have added a post, so I am sharing a couple of father's day cards, just in time for father's day tomorrow.
The first one is a very simple card. I used the 'wood textures DSP' for the background, the 'dad' die cut (die is not SU) and the banner. I added the sentiment and a screw from the 'urban underground embellishments'.
The second card is still simple, but has a few extra elements. I used very vanilla cardstock for the base and top layer, and added some strips of DSP and early espresso cardstock to each side. I used the texture paste (added a couple of drops of sahara sand ink) and the brick wall stencil to create the brick background, making sure it wasn't perfect...as I wanted a weathered look. The 'happy' word was die cut from the 'happy birthday' die in both early espresso and cajun craze and raised with some dimensionals. Lastly, I added my sentiment, banner and a couple of screw brads, then added the top layer to the card base.
I loved how both cards turned out. The second card is the one I am giving my dad this year.
