A Bird Holiday Card

 A Bird Holiday Card

 Hello friends! Today's card is inspired by the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown August Theme Challenge and Sunday Stamps Sketch Challenge #264


 


 

Supplies used: 

  • Foam tape and liquid glue 

 

 

To make this card, I die cut the ink smooshed paper and then stamped and heat embossed the Poinsettia and Birds stamp. Next, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiments and then cut them out as well. While I was die cutting the word happy, I used the die cut three additional times-once with more of the ink smooshed paper, and twice with some scrap paper. Then I cut the two background paper halves and put them together with the washi tape. I then placed the ink smooshed paper with foam tape and then glued the 4 layers of the happy sentiment towards the lower right part of the ink smooshed paper. I glued the whole thing to a white A2-sized card base. I then added some foam tape behind the stitched flag with the word holidays on it and added it to the corner of the card base. I then added three red gems next to the sentiment and a couple of opal-colored gems next to the word happy.

 


Thanks for reading!

Summer Treats!

 Summer Treats! Today's card was created for a few different challenges: Make the Cards Challenge #21 (for the first card), Retro Rubber Challenge #161 and Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge (red, white and blue). Today's card features the Sweet Friends stamp and die set from Lawn Fawn as well as my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers   and Gina K's Master Layout 2 die set.  To create the card, I stamped the froyo 3 times, the s'more twice and the strawberries (they are stamped in groups of 3) twice on a piece of white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Ink in Twilight ,  heat embossed them with Holographic embossing powder from Ranger, and die cut them with their cooresponding die cuts. I then colored them with my Zig Markers with the froyos exclusively in red, white and blue while the s'mores were a variety of browns. Next, I stamped a sentiment from the same Sweet Friends set in Twilight ink and heat embossed with more of the Holographic embossing

A Red, White, and Blue Flower and Striped Card Hello friends! Today I wanted to share a card that I made with a few challenges in mind: Simon Says Stamp's Monday challenge (red, white and blue), The Flower Challenge #58 (adding spots or stripes), the Paper Players Challenge #548 to create an encouragement card and the Color Hues Challenge #21 (also red and blue). The card started with a watercolor cardstock panel I cut with the largest rectangular die from Gina K's Master Layout 2 die set. I ink blended some Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide with a few different stencils (Scrapbook.com's Mixed Stripes , and Tim Holtz's Dot Fade Stencil and Tinsel Stencil ) and used some Wow! Embossing Glitter Platinum Sparkle . I also found out that you can use water to temporarily adhere embossing powder to a piece of paper from this wonderful video from Gerry's Craft Room and added some random splatters of water and painted a border around the panel with water and used more of
