Birthday Card – Fishin’ Friends 2018

Mar27

Sharing a birthday card that I made for my older brother this year! He loves his camp and fishing. His dog is usually by his side and so I thought I would make him a nice fishing themed card this year.

I used my MISTI and stamped all images with Memento – Tuxedo Black onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. Then used a mixture of Copic and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers to colour.

On the front I used a stamp from Whimsy Stamps called “Fishin’ Friends” from the Crissy Armstrong Collection.

Here is a close-up:

On the inside, I decided to continue with the theme. All stamps on the inside and the front sentiment are from Ai – Art Impressions Clear Stamps Reel Great Guys Set – 4900 by the artist Bonnie Krebs.

Here is close-up:

Sentiments were stamped with Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink and then embossed with Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder.

Congratulations and Best Wishes

Mar11

Hi There,

Sharing a card that I made for a lady at my workplace. She is going to be starting a new job and I thought it would be nice to wish her well. She was a super nice young woman and she will be missed. I wish her the best of luck!

For the front of the card, I created my own background using various Tim Holtz Ranger inks. I added a little bit of water and created a splatter background onto watercolour paper and then heat set it.

The image was from a former Kit and Clowder August 2016 Pencils monthly class using La La Land Crafts – Marci with Camera.

On the inside I created a little scene using stamps and embossing folder called Safari Friends which came free with Papercraft Essentials #145. Used Memento – Tuxedo Black and MISTI – Most Incredible Stamping Tool to stamp the images. Coloured in with a mixture of Copic and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.

Die cuts from: PaperCrafter Today which also came free with their magazine.

Hope you like it!

Sympathy Card – Cat

Mar10

Hi There!

Sharing a sympathy card that I made for a dear cousin that had to say goodbye to her little son around Christmas time. I say son, because to us, our cats are like children. We love them and cherish them in our lives everyday and it is heartbreaking when we have to let them go and say our final good-byes. We also lost our little girl last year and not a day goes by that I don’t think of her or the others that we’ve had to say good-bye to. So we know first hand how it feels when someone else we know loses their pet.

For the card front, I chose the little girl holding onto her cat because I thought it represented how we still hold onto our loved ones in our hearts long after they are gone. I left the cat white as “Spot” was a white cat.

Here is a close-up of the image.

Stamp: Whimsy Stamps – Oliver and Shayla. Images by Sandy Allnock for Whimsy Stamps. Stamped image using Memento – Tuxedo Black, using MISTI – Most Incredible Stamping Tool.  Image coloured in with Copic markers.

Sentiments – Perfectly Said Line – Brought to you by Stamping Sensations Dog Lovers. Stamped with Versa Fine – Onyx Black and embossed with Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder. Fussy cut with scissors around the sentiments after embossing.

Die cut around image – Elizabeth Craft Designs – 112 – Fitted Frames 4 – Curvy Ovals.

Flowers – Heartfelt Creations – Flowering Dogwood – Stamps and Die (HCPC-3773 and HCD1-7129). Mini Prills – ANC804 Heart of Gold.

Chinese New Year 2018 – Year of the Dog

Feb25

Hi There,

Sharing a card that I made for all of my Chinese friends and co-workers this year. Unfortunately, the camera didn’t co-operate with me very well for taking the pictures of the card!!! I can see myself in the reflection!!! LOL!

 

For the front I used my Cricut Explore and Cricut Design Space to cut out the images for the sentiments. Compliments of CraftDirect free SVG file.

The dog is from Cricut Cartridge – A Quilted Christmas. I just trimmed off the ball in Cricut Design Space using the Slice tool before executing the actual cut using my Cricut Explore.

The lanterns were done using Craftin Desert Divas – Dragon Festival clear stamps, Versa Mark ink and Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing powder.

On the inside of the card, I used Craftin Desert Divas – Dragon Festival clear stamps, Versa Mark ink and Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing powder for the dragon and Recollections Valentine’s Day Clear Stamps and Die.
