Hearty Happy Birthday

Today's card was created by using the left over die cut panel from a previous card I had made. This time, I left the hearts empty except for the largest one, where I die cut some white card three times and adhered them together before popping it into it's location on the panel. I then die cut my 'happy' three times and adhered them together as well for more dimension and added my 'birthday' sub-sentiment by stamping it on black cardstock and embossing it with white EP. I then framed the whole panel with black cardstock and adhered it to my base.

Beary Pretty

Today's card is a lot different for me...I don't really do 'cute' and I'm not very good at colouring but I am very happy with how today's card turned out. I placed my stamp in my Misti and stamped my image with DI Antique Linen and water coloured the image. Once I was finished colouring, I then restamped the image with black ink. I also sponged the sky with what left over ink was still on my blending brush from when I had used it last and added my sentiment. I then die cut several panels and layered them on my card front. I also sponged the edges of the base card with left over ink on my purple blending brush as well.

Sending Hugs

I created today's card by inking rainbow colours with DO's : Wilted Violet, Broken China, Cracked Pistachio, Wild Honey, Carved Pumpkin & Candied Apple. I then die cut my hearts die on white card as well as the inked rainbow card. I adhered the white hearts to the coloured ones to give them a bit more height and then adhered them back into the white card panel. I then attached them to the card base, die cut my sentiment 'sending hugs' twice with white scrap card and once with black card, adhered them together and secured it to the card front, I also added a sub-sentiment to finish it off.

Fabulous Day

For today's card, I created my feature panel by using my Gel Plate to create the blue background and a floral stencil that I then coloured with DI's. I started off with a large piece of card and stenciled it using a rainbow pattern, then die cutting it into four and picking my favourite piece, I then ran it through a background die for a little more interest. I die cut my flower two times with thick cardstock and adhered them together for some extra height, worked out my placement and then stamped my sentiment. I then layered the main panel onto some mulberry coloured card and adhered them all together.

Birthday Cheer

I created today's feature panel with my Gel Plate and Distress Inks. It has been sitting on my desk for a while so I can't remember what colours I used but I'm thinking maybe Mowed Lawn & Mustard Seed.

I then die cut a square out with a stitched edge square die. I positioned it and die cut some flowers twice in white cardstock and layered them for a bit of dimension. To finish off, I stamped my sentiment and layered the panel onto some black card for a bit of contrast then attached to it to my base. I added a small gel gem for a little something more.

Birthday Floral

Another floral card for my stamping Saturday...this time I have used a stencil and a new sentiment. I inked my florals using Distress Oxides Inks and blending brushes and once the ink was dry, I added a few highlights with some Copic Markers. I then trimmed my image down and layered it on some DP and white card that I embossed with a Cover Die for added interest. I then pop-dotted the whole panel and added my sentiment and a few gems to finish off.

One More Trip Around the Sun

Happy New Year! 

My first card for 2022 that wasn't a Christmas card...I keep making Christmas cards while I am still in the mood, it gives me a head start for next Christmas. 

Todays card, I have used new stamps from the 2021 Stamptember, Sunflower Garden & XL Birthday Greetings. I stamped the Sunflower image in black ink and then clear embossed it. I then used some Distress Oxides : Broken China & Wild Honey that was watered down so I could colour my image with a watercolour look by dabbing different areas of the image into the ink and drying between dabs. Once dry, I stamped my sentiment in black and clear embossed it to make it pop. I then layered it on some DP from my mountain of DP that I really need to use and also used a cover plate to give my white layer a bit more interest.

I created today's card by stamping my snowflakes with Watermark ink and then embossing them with White EP. I then blended the panel with Distress Inks - Broken China & Villainous Potion, trimmed it down and framed it with white card that I die cut using a Die Plate and then framed them both with a matching purple card. I die cut my shadow die with the same purple and the sentiment with white and layered it all together, then to finish it off, I added a sub-sentiment.

Joy to You and Yours

Today's card was created by using my Gelli Plate and Distress Inks to create the background. I cut the Gelli Plate panel down to size and stamped my main focal point sentiment which I then embossed with gold powder. I then punched some stars with shiny gold card and adhered them, stamped my sub sentiment and trimmed it down before adhering it as well. I also used a cover plate to give a bit more interest for my base card and drew around the edge with a gold Painty Zig Pen to finish it off.

Joy

Today I was able to make two cards out of one image. My earlier post tells you how I created a card with a die cut and my Gelli Plate, well this card is the die cut that has now been coloured by the Gelli Plate. There isn't any stamping on this card, but that happens occasionally. As I already had my image coloured, I cut a white panel down to size and layered it onto some matching designer paper. I have so much designer paper that I hardly use anymore, that it makes me happy when I can make a card with it.

I then die cut my sentiment 4 times and adhered them together before attaching to the base. To finish off, I added some soft green coloured gems.
