Geometric Tiles

Hello friends,

Today, I'm sharing a card I made for the 'Stencil Fun' IG Hop. I inked this panel some months ago, inspired by colours from a challenge I can't recall and just completed this card.

Products used:

#pinkfreshstudio (layered stencil), #catherinepooler (inks), #pennyblack (edger die set & stamp for sentiment) & sequins.

The panel was inked in layers, the top edge was cut with the edger die, then adhered to the card base. The large die cut sentiment was glued in place, the smaller sentiments were stamped and finished off with sequins.

Challenges entered:

#allsorts - stencils

#NBUS - new layered stencil & sentiment dies

#doubleD - potpourri (Mix of colours) 

#stencilfun - patterns 

#cutitup - own background & a die

#paperfunday - anything goes

#wordpower - sentiment in focus

#pammiesinkypinkies - anything goes

#creativefriday - new layered stencil & sentiment dies

#wordartwednesday - anything goes

Happy Sunday!

Spotlight Colored Background

Hello friends,

I'm part of the 'CASE It' IG Hop today. I was short on time to craft and wanted to make something quick. I knew the spotlight colouring would be the best option, as I hadn't done it before and happened to find a card made by Hannelie Bester using this technique. The colours were inspired by the Altenew challenge.

Products used:

#altenew (Embroidery Motif image & sentiment), #rangerinks (distress), #justrite (Vintage Labels die) & gems

For the arched background, I made a stencil using plastic coated paper from a handout, by die cutting the top with a die from my stash. I just felt that a scalloped arch would perfectly tie in with the motif design. Next, I ink blended, added spatters and stamped the image. The sentiment was stamped and the strip was mounted on additional ones for dimension. Finally, I added gems to cover the few spots with spatters, but as those covered spots did not create a sense of balance, I ended up with more than I would normally add. 

Challenges entered:

#doubleD - potpourri (mix of colours)

Have a beautiful Sunday.

It's A Boy!

Hello friends,

Sharing another simple baby card I made. Now, I have a card for a baby boy too when needed.

Products used:

patterned paper & ribbon from my stash & #sentiment

The patterned paper was cut diagonally and adhered to the card base. The ribbon was glued on a strip of cardstock, so it could be folded under to avoid fraying and finished off with a stamped sentiment.

Radial Placement of Dies

Hello friends,

Today I joined the 'Build Your Stash' IG hop where we focus on building our stash for everyday occasions, so we have them when needed. This month it was baby which was lacking in my stash. I made this card using dies which have been in my stash for a decade by glueing them radially. To know how, read below.

Products used:

#tayloredexpressions (Baby Confetti dies), #lawnfawn (heart dies), #lilinker (square mat die), #SRM (sticker sentiment), patterned paper from my stash & #waffleflower rotation guide.

To begin, I cut all the dies from color and silver cardstock, cut the patterned paper into a square and cut a circle in the center. The rotation guide was aligned on the cut patterned paper, and the four die cuts were positioned on one quarter of the guide with double sided tape. With the help of the guide and a lightbox, all the dies were glued radially, including tiny silver dots which are negatives of the die cut pins. To finish the card, the sentiment was stuck at the center of the card base, and the panel was adhered in place.

Challenges entered:

#NBUS - new dies 

#doubleD - potpourri (mix of dies)

#justusgirls - 10 year old dies

Have a wonderful weekend.

Kraft Paper w/ A Framed Flower

Hello friends,

It's been a while since I made a card with kraft paper. Sharing this card I made for the IG hop 'Encouraging Word'. ‭‭Part of the sentiment was handwritten to emphasise the meaning of the assigned verse 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. The colours and design were inspired by 'AAA Colourful' and 'Addicted to CAS' challenges. 

Products Used:

#pinkfreshstudio (Garden Party- flower & leaves & Garden bouquet- sentiment), #catherinepooler (inks) & #alinacutle (square frame)

Multiple flowers were inked through the stencils and die cut, but only one was used for this card. The sentiment was stamped and die cut. Part of the sentiment was handwritten to emphasise the meaning of the scripture verse. The sentiment was fussy cut, and only the word thankful was kept and adhered to the handwritten banner below it. The frame was adhered in place, followed by the floral arrangement, with the flower and leaves shaped to add some dimension and finished with the sentiment.

  

Challenges entered:

#pinkfreshstudio - florals

#addictedtoCAS - frame

#allsorts - blooms

#diecutdivas - anything die cut 

#acutabove - anything die cut 

#paperfunday - anything goes

#pammiesinkypinkies - anything goes 

Have a great day.
