Now I have a card for you that's been in the pipe line for way too long. Guest Designer Maryia (aka. Masha aka. solus_m) made this last month and I couldn't really make up the time to post her creation.

Maska made a super sweet watercolor card using our Poppin Over stamp set :)

Here's what Masha has to say:

Hello! Masha is here, today I want to show you some funny card.

The idea is very simple, I want some watercolor, and I love the Poppin Over stamp set. 

• For the base, I took a piece of watercolor paper;
• then i made a watercolor stains with distress inks;
• using the die of a frame I made cutting;
• stamp and color the images of the bear with distress inks then cut it out;
• cut out and color some leaves;
• cutting frames I placed and glued on the opposite side, then glued the bear and leaves and put a text stamp.

 

I used super cute the Poppin Over stamp set and Magical Frame die.

I love no line coloring it makes you like an artist))) and I think that this Poppin Over set of stamps is perfect for this!

Thank you for being here with me, I hope you enjoyed the card and i wish you a wonderful day!

Guest Designer Mariya Fursevich #1

Hello and happy sunday night, dear crafty friends!

Masha has been a customer for quite a while and when I saw all her wonderful creations on instagram and in our sidebar I knew I had to invite her to be our guest one day. She has a wonderful CAS style and everything is always on point, I just lover her cards! Check out her blog and get inspired!

Masha has a wonderful style and is a super sweet person - I am happy she agreed to be our guest. I know you will love her projects!

Now let's see what she has for you:

Hello! Masha is here, it’s time for summer! Today I want to show you some plastic card.

The idea of plastic  card is not mine, but I love it. When I decided to do one, the idea to use the wonderful  Underwater Love stamp set came instantly. 

• For the base, I took a piece of plastic and put it in the shape of  a card;
• then toned a piece of white cardstock with distress inks;
• another piece of cardstock  I inked with yellow distress inks to make it look like the beach, I also added stamps of  a starfish and stones (bubbles turned into stones) and a few water drops;
• stamp and color the images of narwhal and boat with Copic markers;
• I folded the rest piece of plastic in a few times for the base for my beach and boat;
• on the front of the folded plastic, I taped the beach, and a little further as you can see from the photos I taped the boat, on the back of the  postcard I taped the  toned sheet of cardstock.

When working with the plastic you need to remember that it gets dirty from glue easily, but believe me, the result will make you happy and surprised, plastic cards look very volumetric!

I used super cute Underwater Love stamp set and stamp set from the Sending Sunshine Kit

Thank you being with me, I hope you enjoyed the card and I wish you a wonderful day!
