On the Edge

The other day I shared a card that I had made following the on the edge technique by Jennifer McGuire. In the  tutorial from Jennifer McGuire you create elements to make two cards this is what I made with the other floral image. This is my first attempt at using fun foam to pop up my image instead of double sided foam tape. I was looking for white but it is rather difficult to find but I did find a pack with several colours, for this card I tried the pink to match the flowers, it was so easy to use I will definitely be trying it again.

My flower image is from Wplus9 with the coordination die so that I didn't have to fussy cut the image. I coloured the image with copic pens and highlighted the flowers with a glitter pen and added the embossed sentiment for My favorite things.

Clean and Simple with a twist

Welcome to today's challenge with the Crazy 4 Challenges team.

November 15 is Use Less Stuff Day. In its honor I would like you to make a true one layer CAS card (sorry Hoots). The theme is up to you…..Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthday or something else.

I really like interesting interactive card so when the challenge is for a clean and simple card I'll try it but add a little twist. When I saw this tutorial from Jennifer McGuire with a one layer card with on the edge stamping I just had to try it.

My Image is from Wplus9 with the coordination die so that I didn't have to fussy cut the image. I coloured the image with copic pens and highlighted the flowers with a glitter pen.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.

Layered spotlighting Wetlands

Hello there, it is time for another challenge with the CCEE Stampers team.

July 12 has been declared National Simplicity Day in honor of Henry David Thoreau who was a devoted advocate of living a life of simplicity. So on this lazy day of summer it's time to simplify. My challenge to you is to create a clean and simple one layer card!

I saw this technique some time ago and put it on my to do list. It is called Layered spotlighting, using a single piece of card, some stamps, a die and some sponging and a piece of art is created.

Take a look at Theresa Momber's utube video here.

Don't forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers have created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs.

Embossed Thankyou

Just a couple of  Clean and simple cards, well the first one started out that way but as usual I couldn't resist adding more. LOL

I have been collecting CAS card on pinterest and the inspiration for this one seem fairly simple. Emboss a panel cut a window and layer with foam dots and add some ribbon. Well mine looked very plain so I got out some ink and coloured in the window and embossed it, it has been ages since I have used embossing powder. I used the craft concepts in bloom embossing folder, added a couple of butterflies and gem stones just to dress it up. 

 For this tag I used MFT Die-namics and stamps, very quick to make on short notice.

It's Your day

A quick birthday card for a teenage girl , Rubber Romance image, a ribbon plus and a button and some scrap card glue it all together and it is done. In fact colouring the image took the longest but it was still a 10 minute card.

Supplies:
Stamps: Rubber Romance, MFT
Ribbon, button, thread, copic pens, die-namic die

Thanks for looking

Buggy Get well

I found this card sample on pinterest followed the link and found the card on splitcoast stampers. Here in Australia the hungry Caterpillar is the lastest in fashion for babies from clothing to accessories. My daughter loves it and buys things for friends. When it came to creating and get well card for her I couldn't resist this one.
