Rocking Card | The Sassy Club

Posted in Interactive, The Sassy ClubLeave a comment

Hello there! The Sassy Club recently had a release and I always love the Darla images.  However, when I spotted a unicorn floatie, I HAD to put this in my cart and get it immediately.

I created a rocking card, which is a circle shaped card. When you prop it up and give it a little push, it’ll rock! How cute is that?

Check out the video tutorial for how I put this together.

Z Fold Card | Sweet Stamp Shop

Hello there!

I really loved this set from Sweet Stamp Shop’s latest release and I just HAD to do something fun with that girl on the trapeze. She had to hang from something right? I ended up using a z fold card to create the dimension I needed to do her justice.

Side Step | MFT Lucky Dog

Posted in Birthday, Featured, Interactive, My Favorite Things Stamps2 Comments

Hello! I am so excited to share this card because this is one of my favorite cards that I’ve made in a long time.

My friend LOVES dogs and I needed to create a birthday card for her. I have a lot of dog stamp sets, but I think the MFT Lucky Dog is one of my favorite ones. The variety is awesome.

I imagined this backyard scene with a dog house and a fence with a dog peeking in. I adore that dog that this set includes, having his face and behind!

And I have a video for this one… so watch me create it (with some issues, lol).

Today I’m using the stamp set called Shore Lucky, along with some of the new release dies. But first, I picked out a piece of paper from the You Are My Sunshine paper pack that mimicked the ocean with the blue lines and trimmed it down to an A2 card panel. I thought it needed a little more color, so I pulled out the Little Boy Blue ink and inked up the edges.

JEANNIE-SHORE LUCKY1-JULY5

I stamped out the images from Shore Lucky using Raven hybrid ink and colored them in using alcohol ink. I like how these images are smaller so I can use a lot of them in a smaller space. I trimmed down a piece of paper to use as the spotlight panel so the pattern paper can frame the main card space. I die cut paper using the Surfing Wave die and used the same Little Boy Blue color to ink up the die cuts, except the top of the wave, which I left white.

I also took a piece of Kraft cardstock and die cut it using the Shady Beach die. Using Coffee Bean ink, I inked up the edges of this die cut to add a little dimension. I stamped the sentiment from the Shore Lucky set, using the same Coffee Bean ink.

JEANNIE-SHORE LUCKY2-JULY5

I think this card turned out great and this little set really packs a punch and allows you to create a super cute beachy stamp set.

Today, I’m sharing a card I put together using the A New Beginning stamp set. I really like the floral images and wanted to use them for this card.

First, for the background, using Flesh and Pink Tutu Hybrid Ink, I inked up an A2 card panel. I kept Flesh in the middle and Pink Tutu on the edges. Most of this will be covered up but, I still wanted to blend it nicely between the two colors. Using the Sunburst die, I die cut a piece of white paper. This particular die cuts a little smaller than an A2 panel, so the Pink Tutu ink on the edges will create a nice frame for the card. I love how the two colors are subtle but look really pretty behind this die cut panel.

Second, I stamped out the image of the girl and the florals using Raven Hybrid Ink. I wanted to keep a orange and pink color theme, so I used shades of those two colors to color in these images. Once I was done, I fussy cut the images and placed them in the center of this card.

It’s a super simple card, but I think it turned out to be really pretty. Whenever, I decide to give away this card, I can add the appropriate sentiment along the bottom half of the card. I really like leaving cards ready to go minus a sentiment so it can fit any occasion.

Hope you enjoyed my first card for this release. Come back tomorrow for more card inspiration.

Spring Blossoms | Honey Bee Stamps

Posted in Distress Ink, Drive By Crafts, Honey Bee Stamps, Just Because, One Layer CardLeave a comment

Hi there!

Today, I’m sharing this card using Honey Bee Stamps’ Spring Blossoms stamp set to create this really pretty card. I mixed simple coloring with heat embossing on acetate to create this card. I really love flowers on cards since it adds elegance to them, especially with this set.  I wanted to use a mix of different elements and I’m really happy with the end result.

I also have a process video for this card:

Drop Shadow | Sweet Stamp Shop

Posted in Distress Ink, Masking, One Layer Card, Sweet Stamp ShopLeave a comment

Hi there. A couple releases back, I created some drop shadow postcards for Sweet Stamp Shop and I got a lot of questions about how I did it. I finally found the time to create a video to show off two ways of achieving this technique: using a scan n cut or using masking post its.

It’s a pretty simple technique but it creates a super cool effect. This time, I use it as a more subtle part of the card since I wanted the focus on the main stamp image and the sentiment. I looooove tequila so it was the perfect time for this.

Check out the video below for how I created it and also all the supplies I used to create these two cards.

Shaped Card | Waffle Flower

Posted in One Layer Card, Type of Card, Waffle FlowerLeave a comment

 

 

Hi there! I totally forgot to make a congratulatory baby card for my friend who just had a baby girl. I’ve been friends with her since high school so I wanted it to be special.

I have always adored the Waffle Flower stamp set, Popping in. It’s SUPER adorable and perfect for any baby card so I had to use it to create my card.

I really love that little cabinet stamp in the set but it just wasn’t big enough, so I figured out how to create a larger cabinet (A2 sized). I used the little animals and outfit from the set to put this all together. Check it out in my tutorial below:

Easy Slider & Stamp Manipulation

Posted in Gerda Steiner Designs, Just Because, Slider CardLeave a comment

Hi there!

Today I’m sharing this card that I love so much! I had this idea in my head for awhile but when I went to the stamp set, I realized that the bear was actually holding the pie in his hand. I really wanted to make it so he would pop up from a window peeking at the pie.

This happens a lot when I have an idea for an interactive card in my head so sometimes I just have to mask and manipulate the image a bit.

Also, for this particular slider, I don’t need a slider die. I just create a channel using foam tape.

Thankfully, it’s easier to show you than explain in words, so I have a video for you!
