Just follow along with the tutorial for assembling.

I didn't have any of the stamps that were used in the tutorial, so I used Gina K - Timeless poppies and the Cuttlebug houndstooth embossing folder. I also some nuvo drops for embellishments.

 Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Filled to the brim

I made this for a challenge card themed Friendship. 

I chose the silhouette stamp for the theme, sharing a cup with a friend is great therapy. I added the die cut embellishment for a bit of interest.

On the inside I made the teacup pop up using dies, I added some vellum smoke and a gold spoon. I then added the sentiment and the teacup border.

 Supplies:

Karen Burniston dies - 1269 - Tea and Coffee pop-up, 1270 - Boarder tea and coffee

Penny Black - sentiment cup of tea

Altenew - Ladies Day out.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

On Safari

 

This was made for a card challenge themed. - Safari

I taped a border with removable tape and used blending brushes and distress ink for the background, I then stamped the silhouette stamps and then removed the tape. I matted the card and then attached the stamped images that I had fussy cut out.

Thanks for looking.

Welcome Baby

This is another baby card; this one is also gender-neutral, using the colours in the designer paper for the theme. The paper was so cute I wanted to show as much as I could.

Inside I made a pop - up card using dies. decorating with die baby elements.

 Thanks for looking.

Just a not to say

I couldn't wait to try the new release dies from Karen Burniston designs from the new release.

I loved the Lorna label when it was previously released, and these add ons are just fabulous.

The piano keys add such a fun element to any card. The used the colours from the designer paper for the theme, to keep the colour scheme I added pink keys instead of black.

 Supplies:

Karen Burniston dies:

1266 - Lorna Label pop-up

1276 - Happy Birthday add on

1275 - Just a note add on

1274 - Piano keys pop-up

Thanks for looking

Welcome Little One

I was asked if I had any baby cards, which of course I didn't have so I made a couple for my stash of cards. I made this one a gender-neutral card.  Using the colours of the designer paper for the palate. 

On the front I have used the stamp image and made the inside with pop up dies. 

 Thanks for looking.

Silhouette background

Just playing with some silhouette stamps and blending some distress inks for the background, to build up my supply of cards.
