True loves kiss

I made this card for a Disney themed wedding. I used a page out of the DCWV designer paper pack, Once upon a time.

I wanted to highlight the words in the designer paper and used the arch pop-up die set from Karen Burniston to create a pop up arch of love hearts over the wedding couple.

On the front I added the die cut carriage, and on the back I added an envelope a place to give money.

Supplies :

Karen Burniston: 1308 Arch pop-up, 1193 Heart Collage pop-up

Tonic studio die - horse and carriage

Stamps- The rabbit hole designs

I made this card for a glitter challenge. I have used some glitter card stock behind this die cut frame, I then added the die cut floral image on to foam tape and added glitter nuvo drop as embellishments.

Some of the supplies I have had for many years, and some have been gifted to me.

Glitter frame

This was the trail card for a glitter challenge, I used the dragonfly delight keepsake frames from Tonic Studio. While it fit the challenge fine, I finally chose a different card and am happy to add this to my card stash.

Baptism Blessing

I had a request to make a card for a Baptism, this is what I came up with. I didn't have any stamps in a religious theme, but I do love this mother and child stamp. I have had it for a long time, it is an unmounted red rubber stamp from a company called Whiff of Joy.

I chose a cream and gold theme and used the embossing folder for the background and then added the die cut frame over gold card stock. I then added the ribbon and leaf die cuts along with the stamped image.

Supplies:

Stamps- Whiff of Joy - Willow with toddler

Creative expressions - Sue Wilson pin-point embossing folder

Elizabeth Craft Designs -1003 leafy branch die

Tonic Studio - Dragonfly delight die set

Just a note with foil

My card today is for the challenge on CCEE Stampers blog, where hostess Frances asks us to try a technique.

A few months ago, Jennifer McGuire shared a technique using embossing folders. Let’s give it a try. You can find Jennifer's tutorial here.

I have used copper foil card stock for the base card and Couture creations - Drifting Endless embossing folder. I added distress inks to highlight the areas after sanding. I then used the same inks to colour a piece of card before die cutting the sentiment. I die cut a circle panel using Sunny Studios - fancy frames and the inlaid them together to create the background for the sentiment. I the added an extra sentiment from Mama Elephant - cherry blossom branch stamp set.

Spring Butterflies

Hi everyone,

It's a brand new month on the CCEE Stampers blog. Which means our new challenge hostess for the month is Frances

Just like Slimline & Mini Slimline cards, the 5 x 7 inch card size is becoming more and more popular. For this week’s challenge create a 5 x 7 inch card.

I haven't really thought about making 5 x7 cards before, but they are an ideal size for showing off designer paper backgrounds.

I like this bright designer paper is super paper for a spring card, so I added some die cut butterflies for the theme and a die cut sentiment for a fun card.

I added some more die cuts inside to finish the senitment.

Gold Black and White Wedding

Happy Crafting Morning

I made this card for the Challenge on the CCEE Stampers Blog.

February is also National Wedding Month. Make a wedding card to send to a couple who might be tying the knot during this month of love.

I have used the charm set that I like to use for wedding cards, it is now retired but fits great with Karen Burniston dies. This time I have used the Little Labels pop-up to pop up the charms. I didn't include a wedding sentiment as I thought the card would be suitable for a golden Anniversary.

The front is simple as the inside is the main focus of the card.

Supplies

Karen Burniston dies - 1183 - Little Label pop-up

1184 - Labels Crosshatch

1032 - Happily Ever after

1188 - Wedding Charms ( retired- ECD)

Tonic Studios dies - everyday sentiments

Rockin Dance Records

Today I am sharing the card that I have made for the CCEE Stampers team challenge CCEE2131.

Today is Vinyl Record Day! For many Vinyl Records are a thing of the past, but in recent years they have started to make a big comeback with even new albums being released. For our challenge this week it's all about music … bonus points if you included an image of a vinyl record on your card.

I made my card with an acetate front to show off the interactive element inside.

The Interactive element was made with the Karen Burniston die Rockin' Rectangle pop up. I love this dies set it is so much fun and a great surprise element.

I have also used from my supplies the Tonic Studio - Dance Tribute die and Sizzix - Juke Box and Music die set.

Happily Ever After Day

Hi Crafting Friends,

Today is Challenge day with the CCEE Stampers design team.

May 20th is International Tiara Day, and also the birthday of Queen Victoria. So, get out your crowns, gemstones, and gold to see what you can create that would be fit for a queen. Maybe it might be a card or crown for your favorite little princess in your life, or maybe you love the look of Victorian styled art and decor.

My Daughter recently asked my to make a card for her friends wedding. They have been friends for many years since meeting while working at Disney World. The one request was that it be Disney themed, well I chose Cinderella after all it is a Happy ever after story.

I created my card starting with some designer paper covering the card before adding the Karen Burniston Flip Frame pop up, to animate the castle on the frame. I added the Happily ever after die sentiment in gold card. I then added a place for a hand written sentiment using dies.

On the front I used a favorite Mr & Mrs die set with the horse and carriage.

Supplies

Karen Burniston - Flip Frame Pop up die set, Happily ever after sentiment die.

Hero Arts - Stamps and Die sets - Build a Castle, As you wish

Tonic Studios die Mr & Mrs

Congratulations Mr & Mrs 1582020

This is the card that I made for my daughter's wedding back in August. I have just realized that I haven't put it on my blog.

It has been a crazy year and for sometime we weren't sure the wedding would be able to go ahead, with all the Covid restrictions. But we were very lucky, she was able to have her hens party and allowed 80 people at the wedding. A week later we had more cases and we sent back into tighter restrictions.

On the front of the card I have used Tonic Studio dies in gold foil card.

Inside I have created a pop up card using Karen Burniston dies, Paper Frames pop up, and the Happily Ever after sentiment die. I also added the wedding charms. I love the the weddings charms, they are from Karen's Elizabeth Craft Design days.

Thanks for looking today.

Video inspiration

Welcome to my blog today, my card was created for this weeks challenge, with crazies team on the Crazy4challenges blog.

For our challenge this week create a card using any technique that was inspired by a video.

I have spent some time lately taking stock of my supplies and ways to use them. There

are so many ways with videos out there to revisit on techniques. One that caught my eye

recently was Paper piecing using designer paper and stamps, which I found from Jennifer

McGuire. While I used the video for inspiration I final choice was the video of paper piecing a die cut image.

I have used the Tonic Studio die, Sending Love pretty pocket die set that was free in the Die-cutting essentials issue 61 magazine.

Glitter Lace

Hello Crafting friends.

This month on the Crazy4Challenges blog it is my turn to be the Hostess with the challenges.
I had some time to do a bit of trivia research and came up with this idea.

The month of June derives it name from Juno, the Roman Goddess of marriage. It was thought that couples who married in June would be blessed with prosperity and happiness. Brides seem to have lace on their dress so please create a card with Lace …either Real or Faux.

I have create a Faux lace background using micro fine glitter. Using a piece of wide patterned lace I attached it to the card with double sided tape. I then added the micro fine green glitter and rubbed it into the tape so that it adhered though the lace pattern. I then pull off the lace and added black glitter over the green and it adhered to the exposed tape. I then attached the die cut piece, cut out of the white base card.

Just a note to say

My card today is for the CCEE Stampers challenge to use stencils.............

I created my stencil background using Altenew Sunburst stencil and distress oxide inks. Distress oxide inks are great for stencils as they blend so well.
I added 2 layers of the die cut sentiment and also some Nuvo drops to complete the look.

For the inside of the card I created another stencil panel and completed the sentiment.

It is a good day

Welcome

My card today was made for the Crazy4Challenges theme.

Back to metallics for the end of the month. Use foiling on your project. If you don't do you own foil, look for foiled patterned or mirror papers pr embellishments like chipboard or stickers in your stash.

I am working a building my supplies of wedding themed cards. I went looking for some foil designer paper and found a page of sentiments that would fit well with the rocking rectangle die from Karen Burniston. I then created the front of the card using dies.

This card has a lot of foil as every page has foil as well as embellishments.Here is a closer look at the foiled sentiment panels.

Party Like a Rock Star

Welcome to today's card made for CCEE Stampers team challenge.

Happy Birthday, Elvis!! (8th January) Liz is challenging us to make him come alive in some way on our cards this week.( Maybe a rock and roll theme, records, an Elvis or guitar stamp, or perhaps even “Blue Suede shoes.”) Anyway you can think to let the world know “the King” of rock and roll.

I had a super fun time creating this card. I wanted to use the Juke box die but as an interactive element, so I used the center die out of the Karen Burniston Explosion die set.

The Jukebox is a Tonic Studios die which I die cut as a sticker then glued it onto silver card stock then fussy cut the whole thing out, it took a little time but I think it was worth it. The music notes and the records are from the Sizzix Jukebox & Music set.

I was so happy with the way that the Jukebox turned out that I did the same with the Electric Guitar but inlaid some of the pieces with orange card.

Supplies

Tonic Studios dies - Jukebox Jive Electric guitar, piano melody

Sizzix dies- Jukebox, records, music

Karen Burniston Explosion dies set.

Your next stamp - Silly Monster Rock stars

Elizabeth Craft desgins - stitched rectangle die
