Unicorns And Hedgehogs Birthday Slimline Cards

After making a couple of tall slimline cards, I decided to make long/landscape ones…for the cards I’m sharing today, I pulled out a couple of my favourite sets from MFT stamps..

For my first card I choset the MFT Magical Unicorns stamp set and stamped all the images, coloured them with alcohol markers and set them aside…I then placed the MFT Starry Sky stencil on the front panel of my card and applied some iridescent Gina K Glitz glitter gel and let it dry for a few minutes…

I die cut the clouds using Mama Elephant Slimline Card Basics and applied some salty Ocean Oxide ink on the edges before adhering them to the front panel…I also added a rainbow behind the clouds which I die cut using MFT Rainbow Whimsy die and coloured in with alcohol markers…

I added all the unicorns to the card front and added a die cut stitched frame as well…the sentiment is from MFT Label Maker Sentiments stamp set and has been heat embossed using Ranger magenta embossing powder…

I chose the MFT Happy Hedgehogs stamp set for my second card…once all the images were stamped, coloured in and die cut – I started on the ink blending for my background panel…I used the following Oxide inks – Fossilized Amber, Mustard Seed and Ripe Persimmon..

Using a couple of shades of green cardstock, I die cut and added the ‘ground’ where all my hedgehogs would be sitting….after adding the hedgehogs, I added some mushrooms and foliage to the scene…the foliage is from MFT Beautiful Blooms stamp set….

I stamped the sentiment from MFT Make A Wish stamp set directly on the front panel and added some black Nuvo Drops to embellish it..

Thanks heaps for taking the time to view today’s blog post…hope you will have a happy and blessed day ahead!!

Dragons Birthday Wishes

I’ve started trying out the very popular slimline cards these days…and I am still unsure about which size I prefer to use…the previous card I shared was 3.5″ x 8.5″ and today’s card is 3 5/8″ x 8 5/8″…

I started by stamping all the dragon images from Dragon Wishes and Me And My Dragon stamp sets from Mama Elephant…once coloured in, I die cut them all using the coordinating dies..

I die cut the front panel of my card using the scalloped edge die from Mama Elephant Slim Card Basics die set and used Distress Oxide inks to create the ink blended background…I also splattered some water on it for effect before adhering it to the card base…

I die cut the speech bubbles using the dies in the Slim Card Basics die set and stamped the sentiments on them which are from the Mama Elephant Stackable Friends stamp set…I adhered all the images and speech bubbles on the card front and added some jewels to embellish my card…

Thank you for taking out the time to view my blog post today….hope you will have a happy and crafty day ahead…happy crafting..!!

Torch Ginger Birthday Card

When I saw the Altenew Torch Ginger flower stamps for the first time, I actually thought they were the Australian native flowers we know here as the Waratah…

I first stamped the Altenew build-a-flower Torch ginger using crisp dye inks rouge crimson, ruby and red velvet for the flowers and bamboo, grass field, just green for the leaves…I die cut these flowers using the coordinating dies…

I sponged some Distress Oxide inks on a white panel and splattered some water for effect…I used the Altenew Window Sphere Die on the front panel to create a bit of interest and added a black cardstock behind it before adhering it to the card base..

I added the flowers and leaves to the card front and then added the stamped sentiment strips ( Altenew Birthday Builder stamp set)..I added a few blue jewels to embellish my card..

For my second card, I used the Hero Arts Color Layering Mountains At The Lake with the Hero Arts Beach Heroscape stamp set and then completed this card pretty much the same way as the first one…
