You are Wonderful Flower Card

Hi there!
Samantha here, and today I'm sharing a tropical card full of whimsy!

 

     

I really wanted to create that great background with Distress Oxide Inks! I love the color of the greens to the almost yellows! And I thought, what better way than to pop some tropical flowers on top!

Let's make this card together!
- this stamp set is really cool, because you can stamp the inside and outside lines of the images!
- I stamped the flowers with the 'inside' portion first with two different Distress Oxide inks with the rock and roll technique!
- then I stamped on top with the outline image! What a great way to get flowers stamped and colored!
- then, I fussy cut and set aside
- on your card front, I used a combination of Lucky Clover, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks! 
- then I splattered some color on top of all the images and background!

- I heat embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock
a few of the flowers (and the sentiment!) was popped up with foam tape

I love this cute card! The 'sea' was created with Distress Ink and watercolors. But you could get a totally different look if you ink blended the 'sea'! 

That sentiment is created with the All About You stamp set! LOVE the versatility of the set!

The flower images are from Aloha Spirit!

    

Good news - get your eyes and brains ready for a FUN new release in September!! Yay!!! I can't wait for you to see these stamps!

Loops of Love

Hey stampers, Anni here!
Today I have an easy to make and clean& simple card for you.

Life is crazy right now and so I needed to make a card that takes not so much time. Loops of Love is the perfect set for this occassion.

• I started by die cutting a Double Stitched Rectangle from watercolour cardstock.
• Then I stamped an dheat embossed in white three hearts in a row.
• I filled the hearts with water with a brush and sprinkled the some colour pigments into the water.
• All that was left to do then was to stamp the sentiment. In English it says something like "How nice that you were born, we would have really missed you otherwise.". It is from a German Birthday song.

Create a Smile will be on the Stempelmekka - Europe's biggest stamp faire. Maybe you can come along, too, we would love to meet you in real life.

On the waves

Hi everyone and welcome back to our creative space! 

Raluca here with a brand new card showcasing one awesome stamp set from Create a Smile Stamps shop.

The "Gull Gang" is one awesome stamp set that it's loved by so many of you! I also adore this set and I have so much fun everytime I play with it!

* First I die cut one watercolored panel using the largest stitched rectangle and adhered it to a white card base.
* I also die cut a white panel using the same die and cut it in two narrower pieces and mounted them on the card's sides.

* I also die cut some waves from white cardstock and glued them inside the empty space.

* On a white piece of cardstock I stamped the images and colored them using Spectrum Noir markers.

* I fussy cut the images and mounted them on the card.

* I stamped a sentiment, glued a few clear droplets and my card was done.

Part of My Gang Card

Hi there!
Samantha here, and today I'm sharing a cute card, perfect to send to some one in your own 'gang'! Ha ha!

 

     

I just can't get enough of those CUTE seagulls in this stamp set! I wanted to color them all up and make a little intimidating, no nonsense group of gulls! Ha!

Let's make this card together!
- stamp and color your image (I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers) 
- once dry, fussy cut and set aside
- on your card front, I used a combination of Peacock Feathers,Blueprint Sketch, Cracked Pistachio and Wilted Violet Distress Inks! 
- I smooshed the colors (one at a time) onto my kraft mat, then spritzed it with water and pressed my card into the color! I did this several times, allowing the ink to dry in between each layer! 
- once it was dry, I used white embossing paste and a stencil to add to the little fish images! 

- I heat embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock

- then popped up the sentiment strip and the frog image with foam tape!

I love this cute card! The 'sea' was created with Distress Ink and watercolors. But you could get a totally different look if you ink blended the 'sea'! 

I used the adorable and funny Gull Gang stamp set! And the fish were created with the Under the Sea Stencil!
