Love and Kisses

 

Hello and Welcome

Happy New Year

The first card of the year, something super fun!

For this project I used  

Valentine Postage Sampler

Basic Frames Die Set

A quick and effortless way to make a card is to use a stamp for the background.

For this card I used the cherry stamp from Valentine Postage Sampler.

I stamped the image onto white cardstock in a very random pattern.

The next thing I did was take my Copic E40 brick white marker

and trace around each stamped image.

This little bit of highlighting will add some definition.

I use the large, stitched rectangle from the Basic Frames Die Set to cut out my card front.

I attached this front to a card front to a Kraft-colored cardstock card base.

I also stamped out three additional extra cherries which are colored and die cut out.

Using circle dies from my stash, I used a 2 ½ circle that I cut using red cardstock.

Also an inner 2-inch circle of white cardstock.

I layered these two pieces together and attached this piece to the center for the card front.

My cherries are attached to the top of the circle with foam tape.

Using a strip of the same red card stock, I created a banner

using the “love & kisses” that is included in the stamp set.

To complete this card I added some black gems to my card front

and sparkles to my cherries using a glitter pen.

Thanks for stopping by

Hope you have an awesome New Year

 

Stay crafty my friends!

Inky Paw's Challenge 200 - Color Challenge

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

Here is my take on the challenge.

For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

Succulent Garden

A Cats Life 6x6 Paper Pad

Frameworks Die Set

Bookmark Die Set (banner)

Fancy Edges Tag Die (bonus Project)

This idea came from a trip to home depot.

When you go into the succulent area, they always have those “colored” cactus.

I always thought that this would be a great idea for a card.

With Succulent Garden I can make this card happen.

For the card front I used green polka dotted paper from A Cats Life 6x6 Paper Pad.

A quick run through my die cutting machine with

 the Frameworks Die Set and I have a card front for my succulent card.

I stamped A BUNCH of succulents.

A whole 5x6 sheet of them (that I forgot to take a picture of)

I used the same style and changed the color to match the challenge color.

Once everything was colored in and die cut out, I stared to mock things up on the front of my card.

But first, I need a sentiment.

I used the banner from the Bookmark Die Set

I stamped on my sentiment of choice and placed this on the card front first.

Next, I stater to layer everything around the banner

 making sure to add some height with foam tape.

To finish this card, I created a simple card base to fit behind my card front.

I also added some green enamel dots to the front.

I was not quite done with this project just yet.

I had so many stamped succulents left to use.

I pulled out my tag stash drawer and rummage around for

 a couple that matched the challenge colors.

I stamped sentiments on to the tags first.

Then layered the remaining succulents on the tags.

A few more enamel dots to the front and my second project were complete.

I Hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.

Inky Paw's Challenge 172 - Birthday Theme

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

 

For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

Oink Stamp Set

Bleat Stamp Set

Moo Stamp Set

Balloon Stencil

Oval Frames Die Set

Land Boarders Die Set

Using all these elements I create this fun shaped card!

To start this card I stamped, colored and die cut out the animals I was using for this card.

I also stamped colored and die cut all the extras I “thought” I was going to use.

To amp up the birthday theme, I used the balloon stencil as my background.

I love how the pink balloons look and it was so simple to do.

Light pink card stock and then inked over the balloons with a darker pink ink.

I used Picked Raspberry Distress ink and when the ink was dry,

die cut out with the oval framed Die

To have a place for my animals to stand I used the Land Boarders Die

 and created a grassy area for the bottom of the card.

I added a little bit more color at the top of the Grass with Distress Ink

Using the Oval Frames Die, I created a shaped card.

After attaching my balloon background, and grass I started to layer in my animals.

Once I was satisfied with the placement, I attached all the animals on the front of the card

To finish this card, I stamped on a sentiment and added some fun birthday hats.

 

And that completes my take on this challenge

Now it is your turn!
