Me And My Daily Papercraft

I have been making quite a few floral cards this past month so I thought to change things up a bit and reached for a few cute critter images from Pretty Pink Posh for today’s cards…

I die cut two frames using the Pretty Pink Posh Tropical Frame Die and randomly applied some Pinkfresh Studio Liquid Watercolours and set them aside to dry..

For my first card I stamped and heat embossed the images from Pretty Pink Posh Hedgehog Friends…I coloured the images with alcohol markers and die cut them using the coordinating dies…

I stamped and die cut the sentiment using the Besties stamp set from Simon Says Stamp+CZ Designs ..I adhered a dark blue panel to my card base and started adding all the elements to my card..I also added a few small die cut hearts instead of embellishments…

For my second card, I kept my card design the same as my first card but chose the cute lion in a gift box image from Pretty Pink Posh Party Friends stamp set..the sentiment used in this card is from Pretty Pink Posh Birthday Friends stamp set..

I used a light blue background panel for this card as it helped pop the lion image..I adhered the tropical frame to the card and have used a few clear confetti sequins to embellish it…

I’m thankful you chose to stop by my blog today…hope you will have a wonderful day ahead…happy crafting..!!

How much gold is too much gold??

Well, I went all out with this card and created the large 3D flower out of gold and gold glitter cardstock…I had to really hold myself back and not splatter gold paint on the background panel…that would’ve been wayyy too much..!!

Once I had die cut and assembled the Altenew Peony Dream 3D flower, I set it aside…I used a moss green cardstock for my front panel on which I have sponged in the edges with mowed lawn and forest moss Distress Inks…I also used the Altenew Dotted Swirls debossing cover die for a subtle pattern in the background…

I adhered the flower to the front panel and then gold heat embossed a sentiment from the Altenew Sentiment Strips stamp set on a thin black cardstock strip and added it to the card using some black adhesive foam strips..and finally to embellish my card I have used some black Nuvo Drops..

I hope you didn’t have to shut your eyes as soon as you looked at my card today….ha ha…thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today…have a happy and crafty day ahead..

I always get very impressed with cardmakers who are amazing at watercolouring and add some wonderful watercolour effects and elements on their cards…but when trying out watercolours myself, I am quite happy if I get something which is not a big brown blob..ha ha

I started my card panel by white heat embossing the large flower image from Simon Says Stamp Thankful flowers stamp set on watercolour cardstock….

I coloured in the images using Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers and applied a bit of liquid pixie dust(ink-on-3 product) for a bit of shine on the flowers and leaves…I also applied a light wash of colour and black ink splatters on the uncoloured parts of the front panel…

I adhered the panel to my card base and added a white heat embossed sentiment strip….I also added a few sequins to embellish my card…

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my blog…hope you will have a happy and crafty day ahead..!!

I love adding gold elements to my cards…but I get quite frustrated trying to click good pictures of those cards…like this one today – it looks great in real life but I just couldn’t take a good enough picture to share with you..

I started by stamping and heat embossing the floral image from Pinkfresh Studio Just Because stamp set with Altenew antique gold embossing powder on a watercolor panel…I coloured in the flowers and leaves using the Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers..

I adhered 3 thin strips on one edge of the front panel – a green cardstock strip, an Altenew gold washi tape strip and a dark pink glitter cardstock strip…I stamped the sentiment from Altenew Birthday Builder stamp set and added a few green jewels to embellish my card…

Thanks heaps for checking out my card…hope you will have a happy and crafty day ahead..

There are not many planes flying around the world these days…but in our crafting world we can imagine anything from dragons to aliens – and even planes…

The card I’m sharing today is a simple one using the MFT Sky High stamp and die set…I first used the MFT mini cloud stencil and some tumbled glass and salty ocean Distress Inks to create the cloudy background on a white panel and then used the Lawn Fawn Just Stitching rectangle die to create a border around the front panel before adhering it to the card base..

On a separate piece of cardstock, I stamped the plane and birds image and coloured them in using alcohol markers..I die cut these images and placed them onto my card front…I also adhered the stamped sentiment strip and well as a few jewels..

Thank you for stopping by today…hope you will have a wonderful day ahead..

Wishing all mums all over the world a very Happy Mother’s day…enjoy all the extra love your children shower on you today….hope the smiles and happy memories of this day last you a lifetime…

I’m sharing a bright floral card today that I have made using the Altenew Peony Scrolls stamp and dies…I stamped and heat embossed the flower and leaf images using a copper embossing powder and coloured them in using the Altenew watercolour brush markers…

I chose a yellow cardstock for the front panel and used some mustard seed Distress Oxide ink on the edges….I splattered some Hero Arts copper metallic paint on the panel and then adhered all the die cut flowers and leaves to it..

The sentiment is from a Paper Smooches called All Year Cheer and I have stamped and heat embossed it on a black label…and finally to embellish my card, I have added a few coloured jewels..

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog…hope you will have a happy day today..

I’m having a great time creating these floral cards with a bit of dimension…takes a bit longer but the end results are worth the effort..

For my first card, I have used Altenew Sweet Rose Bouquet stamp set with Altenew Crisp Inks to create the various layered flowers and leaves..I then die cut these images and set them aside…

I chose a sage green cardstock for the front panel and then for a bit of interest I used white pigment ink and Catherine Pooler Perfect Vine stencil to create a subtle background…I added the die cut flowers and leaves on this panel using some adhesive foam squares..

The sentiment on this card is from MFT About Mom stamp set which I have heat embossed on black cardstock using Altenew Rose Gold Embosssing Powder…and finally, to embellish my card I have used Essential Jewels from Pinkfresh Studio..

My second card has a background panel that I created just by sponging on some Distress Oxide Inks – tumbled glass and spun sugar…I splattered some Altenew metallic gold watercolor on this panel and adhered it to the card base once dry…

On a separate piece of cardstock, I stamped the flower images from Altenew Pen Sketched Flowers and Focus On You stamp sets and heat embossed them using the Antique gold embossing powder…

I coloured in the images with Altenew Watercolor brush markers and then adhered them to the card front using adhesive foam squares….The sentiment for this card is from Clearly Besotted Stamps called Happy Everything and I have added some jewels to this card as well to embellish it..

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today…have a happy and creative day ahead..!!

I have finally been able to use the Altenew Floral Alphabet stamp and dies…I never got around to using these somehow…I think this set is a great size to use on tall/long cards too…

My card today is a simple one for which I have used Taylored Expressions Square Windows stencil with picked raspberry Disress Ink…I also splattered a bit of water and dabbed it with a paper towel….

I adhered the stamped and die cut alphabets to create the word ‘love’ and stamped the rest of the sentiment from Altenew Smiles and Hugs stamp and my card was ready..

Thank you for stopping by my blog today…hope you will have a blessed and happy day ahead..
