Getting inky with the sneak peek of Merry Mischief bundle, Winter Dreams DSP, rhinestones, Wink of Stella and Secret Sea, Real Red and Mossy Meadow blends.
Such an adorable Holly Jolly card for the upcoming season. He was fun to colour with the blends and adding Wink of Stella adds some more magical glimmer!
Welcome to another edition of Slimline Sunday! Today’s card was loads of fun to put together.
My card design was inspired by playing along to a couple few challenges:
Stampin’ Up! Only Challenges has a fun sketch which I stretched into a slimline layout. #SUOC406 Loved the big bold scalloped focal point.
Inspired By challenges has a fun Summer mood board with colour palette. I have chosen to play with Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight and Crumb Cake with the big bold focal image of my sandy beach scene.
Another round of Tic Tac Toe #tttc297 because it’s a fun game with lots of ways to win - down the middle summer theme, free is unique texture of sandpaper and lots of layers!
I’m getting inky with Summer Happiness bundle, Sincerely Noted Mix & Match ephemera, Sunset Sparkle sequins, So Swirly Embossing folder and Spellbinders scallop circle dies from my stash.
Had fun with the beach theme - adding sand paper adds a fun dimension and extra texture. Love the So Swirly embossing folder as it looks like waves or hot tub swirls!
Welcome to another edition of Masculine Vibes on Monday.
Today’s card design was inspired by playing along to a few challenges.
Inspired By … Cookies #IB395. I was inspired by both the colour palette, choosing Lost Lagoon, Pool Party and Crumb Cake, as well as the nautical theme of the cookies.
Over at Tic Tac Toe challenges #tttc296 I went for the middle line using a plaid embossing folder, due cut sentiment and matting a border around the design.
Over at Just Us Girls a challenge to pull out an old favourite die - I pulled out the Sunshine Sayings stamp & coordinating die bundle.
Getting inky with old favourites long retired By the Tide stamp set, Sunshine Sayings stamps & coordinating die bundle, Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder, Lost Lagoon, Pool Party and Crumb Cake ink pads with some Antique Pearls coloured with Lost Lagoon.
Fun summer “sending sunshine and hugs” vibes design for someone special - my plaid embossing doesn’t show well on the photo against the collage of stamping but it does add some lovely texture in real life.
Welcome to another edition of Masculine Monday vibes - they say a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach so what’s better than a DONUT themed I love you a hole bunch punny card?
Today’s card design was inspired by playing along to the Inspires By …. Donuts #IB393 along with the sketch layout.
Played another round of Tic Tac Toe challenge #tttc295 with a middle row of pink, squares, and CAS design.
I’m getting inky with an old Paper Pumpkin stamp set from the Sprinkled With Love kit, the Stylish Shapes dies, Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder, Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink gems along with Bubble Bath, Highland Heather and Calypso Coral inks.
Welcome to another edition of Technique Tuesday - today I am playing with the shadow blocking technique. A quick and easy technique that adds some depth and dimension to your design.
My colour palette was inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiment’s colour challenge #490 - the palette was just the push I needed to play with my Delicate Dreams DSP. So palette is bit different shades of the challenge being Mossy Meadow, Hydrangea Hue and Crumb Cake/Bronze.
Getting inky with the Delicate Dreams DSP, Earthen Tones Metallic DSP, Greeting for All mix and match ephemera, Floral Spray embossing folder, Streaked Dots and bronze twine.
Technique is simple - cut your DSP in 1 inch squares, choose a dark solid neutral that coordinates best with your DSP - I have chosen the bronze metallic DSP as the Delicate Dreams has bronze accents. Arrange your DSP in a 12 block pattern grid you like and than adhere the solid card stock to the DSP at an offset angle to form your shadow block. Repeat with all 12 squares. Then add to your card front - I popped my squares up on dimensionals for an added pop of shadowing. Complete your card design accents such as sentiment and embellishments.
Video picks up the shine of the metallic accents best.
This technique is a great way to showcase your pretty paper and let it do all the work. Such a pretty result for a sympathy card.
