From the heart!

Hi everyone and welcome back to our crafty space.Raluca here with a new card showcasing the gorgeous "Decorated Wishes", along with the Mixed Add-on stamp sets.

This stamp set is really beautiful and I wanted to play more with it! 

It was so easy to create this card and so fast. Perfect design for when you are in a hurry but need a card done.
* I die cut a white panel using the largest stitched rectangle.
* I stamped the floral wreath in the center of the panel using a light grey ink.
* I die cut a circle using one of the Postage Edge Circle dies from an old watercolor panel (this was a panel that didn't turn out to good and I couldn't use it for a card, but a die cut circle from it looked really pretty).

* I white embossed a sentiment from the Mixed Add-On set on the circle and mounted it on the panel using craft foam.

* I mounted the panel on a mint card base using craft foam.

* I glued a few clear sequins on the card and my project was done.

Hooray!!!!!!!

Hello here is Anja again with another card for you in this new year.
I hope you all had some great holidays and are eager to create again, so happy new year and may it be a very creative one.

 

 

 

 

First I wanted to make a christmascard for my stash since I got very stressed at the end of 2017 when I realized how many cards I still had to make. So for this year I am gonna make at least one christmascard a week. But when I finished the background and took out the monsters I thought it would make a great birthday card so here it is.




I started with the background using the star stencil and the stars stamp. Cut a strip of green cardstock for the sentiment and placed it upon a strip of patterned paper. Stamped the images and copic colored them.
Adhered everything to the panel and adhered that to the cardbase.






Stamps;

Beast feast, Season's greetings, Decorated wishes mixed add-on and Monsterparty.



Stencil;

Big star polka.



Cool cuts ( dies);

Double stitched rectangles.


Patterned paper;

Sending Sunshine








Sometimes you have to think out of the box and look at your stamps in a different way so you can use christmasstamps also for a winter theme or like here in combination with other stamps for a birthday card.
You can either make your card very colorful but for this card I choosed only two colors which gave the card a more clean and simple look.


Have a great week,

Hugs Anja

Coffee, I Like You

Hi there!
Samantha here, and today i'm sharing a cute little card about coffee!

     

I really, really wanted to use that sentiment! I just think it's perfect for any occasion! 

Alright, let's get down to it!
- on a scrap piece of plastic packaging, smoosh your Distress Ink color choice and spritz lightly with water
- press the plastic onto the white cardstock and let dry
- once dry, add the texture with the embossing paste and stencil and set aside to dry

- heat emboss the sentiment in black onto some vellum, then fussy cut out
- color and fussy cut out the coffee cup image and pop up with foam tape! 

You can switch up the colors on the card and BAM - perfect masculine card! 

I just LOVE that sentiment all snuggled in to the coffee cup! Ha! It's from the Decorated Wishes - Mixed Add On! The cute cup is from the Coffee First stamp set! Perfection! I decorated the background with the Skinny Chevron Stencil and some enamel stickers! 

    

I also used some of the Enamel Stickers that Create a Smile Stamps sells! I LOVE THEM!! They have different shapes and colors in each pack!! I can't get enough of them!!
