Let It Snow Somewhere Else!

As the end of the year approaches in Australia, we get ready for the summer as well as for Christmas…I loved using the Aussie Christmas stamp set by Uniquely Creative to create this card…

I kept things simple and splattered some black paint on the front panel of my card and then added the coloured in and die cut images to the card front…I stamped the sentiments using red ink and then backed the sentiment strips with a red cardstock so they would be easily visible on my card..

Hope you liked this card…have a happy and creative day ahead..!!

Cards For Old Friends!

Friends who stick by you for a lifetime and get/share/willingly suffer your sense of humour without ever taking offence are the best kind of friends I think…and this is exactly what I was thinking when I was making this set of cards using the MFT BB Old Friends stamp set…

Once all the images from the stamp set were stamped and coloured in, I die cut them using the coordinating dies and started creating the various backgrounds on the front panel of my cards…for this first card I have used the Pinkfresh Studio Pop Out Nested Diamond stamp set and inks..

For my second card, I have used spun sugar Distress Ink with MFT Window Panes stencil..

My third card uses Distress Oxide inks with the Triangles stencil by Pretty Pink Posh on a coloured cardstock front panel…

And for my last card, I used the Lawn Fawn Woodgrain Backdrop die and inked the edges with some tea dye Distress Ink..

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today…hope you liked my cards…Have a happy and crafty day ahead..!!

Daisy And Tulip Slimline Cards

I just love the beautiful dimensional flowers that can be created using the Altenew Craft-a-flower dies…it took me no time at all to create these slimline cards using the Craft-a-flower Daisy and Craft-a-flower Tulip dies…

I created the background for both the cards using Dixtress Oxide inks on coloured cardstock front panels…for the Daisy card, I die cut all the layers of flowers and leaves and coloured them in using Altenew watercolor brush markers and once dry I glued them and placed them on my card front…

For the tulip card, I used various Altenew gradient cardstock sets to die cut the various layers and then added them to the cad front…the sentiments on both are are from the Altenew Birthday Builder stamp set..

So happy you stopped by my blog today…thank you…have a wonderful day ahead…!!

Kraft Cardstock And Flowers Birthday Card

I am starting to use Kraft cardstock for my cards again these days and am loving it all over again… I have used Neenah Desert Storm cardstock for the front panel of today’s card and shaded it with hazelnut and dark chocolate crisp inks by Altenew…I also splattered a bit of white paint on this panel for effect before adhering it to the card base…

On a separate piece of white cardstock, I stamped the layering flowers and leaves from Altenew Nature Blossoms stamp set using the following Altenew crisp inks -chamomile, snapdragon, marigold , crimson, firefly, grass field and shadow creek…I then die cut these images using the coordinating dies and placed them on my card front…

I stamped the Altenew Mega Label Love stamp on kraft cardstock strips and heat embossed them using white embossing powder and then adhered them onto my card front…I also used to some Nuvo drops to embellish my card..

Thank you so much for stopping by today…Hope you will have a happy and crafty day ahead..!!

Father’s Day Cards

I had made a few simple Father’s Day cards for this year…Father’s Day in Australia was this past Sunday and luckily for where we are, the weather was great and we were able to enjoy a beautiful spring afternoon…

The main element of all my cards is the shirt die from Workers Big Guys – Dressed to Impress which I used with a few different 6×6 printed paper stacks by MFT, DCWV etc…

For the background of two of my cards, I used the Taylored Expressions square windows stencil and for the other card I used Altenew plaid cover die…

The sentiments on these cards are from Avery Elle and Lawn Fawn stamp sets..

Thanks for stopping by my blog today…hope you will have a bright and cheerful day ahead..!!

Bird, Flowers And Leaves – 3 Altenew Slimline Birthday Cards

Trying out slimline cards these days has been great, especially as I have been able to use my favourite stamp sets yet again to create unique cards…the cards I’m sharing today use various Altenew stamp and die sets and didn’t take too long to make..

I stamped the Altenew Bird Of Paradise stamp set on a piece of watercolour cardstock and used the following Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers to colour them in – sweet leaf and lime for the leaves and fresh lemon and sunkissed for the flower…

I die cut the front panel from black cardstock and splattered citrine Altenew metallic watercolor all over…I stamped the sentiment from Floral Frame stamp set and heat embossed it using an Orange embossing powder from Ranger and then die cut using Apothecary labels die…I layered the sentiment label with a larger die cut from white cardstock….I adhered all the elements to the card front and added a few rhinestones to embellish it..

For my second card, I first used the Feeling Dotty stencil on the background panel and then added the stamped leaf springs from Fragile Foliage randomly all over the card front…I have added an extra layer of die cut under the stamped images to give a bit of support as the die cut was quite thin and adding foam tape for dimension wouldn’t have worked for this image..

I stamped the sentiment from Birds Of A Feather on a black strip and used gold glitter embossing powder to heat emboss it…I also added a little bird image to the card front and some green rhinestones to embellish it…

For my third card, I first created the background on the front panel using Simon Says Stamp Solar Burst Stencil with Distress Oxide inks…

I used Altenew Stunning Cosmos Stamp set and heat embossed the images using the Altenew Antique Gold embossing powder…I coloured them in by simply swishing them on a watecolour that I sprayed on my craft mat…once dry, I adhered these flowers onto the card using foam squares…

I die cut a vellum circle and used the Hello And Hugs set for the sentiment…and to embellish my card I have used gold Nuvo drops..

I hope you liked the cards I shared with you today…thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog…hope you will have a happy and crafty day ahead..!!
