Lets snuggle up

Today I am sharing the card I made for the CCEE Stampers blog challenge CCEE2104.

Warm and Cozy Many of us are experiencing very cold days during late January. Feature on your design something that makes you feel warm and cozy even on the coldest of winter days.

Whether it is hot or cold I love snuggling in with a good book. I created this slimline card with designer paper as the background. I stamped and coloured the My Favorite Things images and cut them out with the Brother scan n cut.

On the inside I created a pop up scene.

I have used the Karen Burniston mini pops pop up die, to pop up the chair when you open the card.

Green and purple background

Hi Crafty friends

Today's challenge on Crazy4Challenges blog.

Be inspired using green and purple on your creations.

I made this card sometime ago and just discovered that I hadn't shared it. When I first purchased distress oxide inks I made a heap of backgrounds. I just used a die cut for the embellishment.

Summer

Hi Crafty Friends

Welcome to today's card made for the CCEE Stampers design team challenge CCEE2103

 Time for a Good Belly Laugh National Belly Laugh Day is coming up this Sunday! We all need a good laugh these days so create a card that will have us all laughing out loud. Bonus points if you make me spew my coffee on the computer screen when I see your card!!

My card was made to highlight the sentiment. I created the background using distress oxide inks, Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, Abandoned Coral, Crackling Fire. I made a stencil using a circle die and clear acetate for the sun image. Once all the background was dried I added the trees and birds from Gina K Framescape tropical skies stamp set.

I then stamped the sentiment from Verses Rubber Stamp Company in black ink on vellum, carefully heat setting it. I then assembled all the layers.

Lavinia Stamp and Stencil

Hi Crafting Friends,

Some time ago I saw the team from Lavinia Stamps making cards using two stencils and distress inks to create a background.

 I started with the Lavinia fairy stamp and white heat embossed it. I then created the background by blending distress oxide inks. Over that I used a cloud stencil and black ink blending the ink to create shadows, a bit like the northern lights technique. I then placed a die cut acetate circle over the fairy, I then used the Lavinia stencil flourish and blended the edges. I polished the card to pop out the white embossing and I then added some liquid glitter for highlights.

Thanks for looking.........

Warm and Feathered Hugs

Hi Crafting friends,

Today is the sketch challenge with the design team on Crazy 4 Challenges blog.

I love this bird stamp set from Stampendous, while I was deciding what to use for this card I came across the bird cage die in my older My Favorite Things items, rather that use the bird die that come in the set I used the bird stamps.

On the inside I have used a pop up platform die to create a nesting spot for the birds.

My Little Princess

Hi Crafting friends,

Welcome to today's challenge day with the CCEE Stampers blog design team. We are celebrating National Dress Up your pet day.

Today is National Dress Up Your Pet Day. In honor of this grand occasion, feature an animal of any kind dressed up in the clothing of your choice. Add a fun sentiment to cheer up an animal-lover’s day! Brownie points if you share a picture of your pet dressed to celebrate on your blog today!

The inspiration for this card is our dog Molly she really doesn't like dressing up the only time we managed it was for her birthday.

The card is made using all dies. I started making the frame and using the stencil option I added some ink with a stencil brush. I then die-cut the background and the little dog adding the princess crown. The the die cut sentiment.

For the inside I created a frame to add the sentiment and used a die to make the pop up arm.

Molly is such a princess, she love showing off but she only tolerates the hair bows from the groomers for a short time.

Supplies

1024 - Cat and Dog

1025 - Tiny Accessories

1034 - Word set Royalty

Hello new friend

Happy New Year! Well I hope everyone has a Happy start to 2021. Today is the first challenge with the design team on Crazy 4 Challenges. 

Our challenge is to celebrate the New Year by creating a card or project using something new! New technique, new product, new style, etc.

I recently purchased some of the Lavinia products, as I discovered at the end of last year using two stencils to create you backgrounds. This is the first time that I have applied ink to these product and I had so much fun creating.

I applied the inks through the stencil, then I did the stamping in black ink and heat set  the whole card. I then added the Nuvo aqua shimmer pen to the mermaid tail and add some gold and silver gel pen to the hair. I then added the sea grass to fill in the edges.  

Supplies:

Lavinia stamps Althea , Sea Creatures, sea grass

Lavinia stencils - coral, pebbles, 

Stampendous -sentiment

distress oxide inks - brushed corduroy, speckled egg, stormy sky, shabby shutters. Nuvo aqua shimmer pen

Life Changes

Today is the first challenge for this year with the CCEE Stampers blog design team.

Life Changes The new year usually means New Year’s Resolutions. For today’s challenge I would like for your card to feature something that you could add to or subtract from your life to improve the quality of your physical or mental health. This can be tongue-in-cheek or the real deal. You decide

I have been wanting to add some yoga to my life to help me with joint stiffness and flexibility and if I can lose a few kilograms, I will feel so much better.

I love this cute little frogs in yoga poses. I added distress oxide backgrounds to the panels of the slimline die.
