Hello 🙂 My neighbours recently had a baby boy and I wanted to make them a card to celebrate their first child: I went with traditional blue and kept the embellishments simple. I could have added something more, but I couldn’t find anything suitable in my stash so I left it as it was. I…

Freshly Made Sketches #279 – floral birthday card
What a neat sketch for Freshly Made Sketches #279: Horizontal layout!!! <3<3<3 Here is my card: I love those vibrant (but somehow kind of pastel) colours of those flowers with the grey. This was my second attempt at this sketch. The first one ended in a glitter spray ink disaster… This one is better, anyway…
Color Throwdown #434 – green, gold & black
It’s green, gold & black for Color Throwdown #434: Here is what I did with that awesome combination: It was super fun to stamp all of those four leaf clovers 🙂 I think they are super cute. It is an older Inkadinkado stamp. Thanks for stopping by!
CASology #240 – foliage
CASology #240 wants us to make like a tree… and leave! Here is what I came up with: I used the Endless embossing folder from Couture Creations and raised the panel with adhesive dots. I also raised the flag that I stamped the sentiment on. I love the all white with just a couple touches…
Stamp Ink Paper #90 – shakers
What a neat challenge for Stamp Ink Paper 90: The DT cards are fantastic and I am sure the other cards made will be fantastic too. Here is mine: I inked the card stock with some Hampton Art inks (grey and purple). The planet and rocket ship are coloured with Copics. I used a Jillibean…
CAS(E) This Sketch #212
Here is the current sketch over at CAS(E) This Sketch: Here is what I came up with: Though this card is embellished more than I usually embellish, I don’t think it’s too much. The colour of the pearls play off both the grey of the background panel and the ivory of the patterned paper and…
Fusion – scrambled letters
I am always excited to participate in the Fusion card challenge. This one is no exception: Here is my card: I used the elements of the letters, the colours and the touch of wood. The horizontal stripes became vertical because that was the only striped embossing folder I had 🙂 I love the way the…
Color Throwdown #433
It’s cornflower blue, green and white for Color Throwdown #433: Luckily, I had just picked up some blue paper! I die cut and then embossed the front panel. There is also a white embossed panel at the very back there, with the edges inked. I had some Hampton Art ink that matched the blue pretty…
Freshly Made Sketches #278
It’s a fun sketch this week for Freshly Made Sketches #278: Here is my card: I have some peach geometric paper behind the embossed blue panel. The enamel dots are also peach, and the brad attaching the scissors is a warm brass colour to play off the peach. I had been trying to figure out…
CASology #239 – landmark
The cue card for CASology #239 is: With all the great stamps that came out recently focused on big cities and landmarks, this could be a fun one! Here is my card: I don’t have any of the aforementioned stamp sets, but luckily I had a small Eiffel Tower stamp. It inspired me to make…
Stamp Ink Paper #89
Yay it’s a sketch challenge for Stamp Ink Paper #89! I loved this sketch. It was really fun to do. Here is my card: All stamps are from the same Hampton Art Vintologie stamp and stencil set (SC0641). I coloured in the smile sentiment to bring some more yellow in and I used a clear…
CAS(E) This Sketch #211
Here is this week’s sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch: I am not a floral person, but I still loved the look of the reaching stems topped with flowers. So… Balloons! I used complimentary orange and blue, and kept the ink simple with just black. The die cut frame is inlaid back in the paper around…
A BIT OF GLUE & PAPER
