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…

CTD 427 – mint, aqua & pink

It is a Spring-like colour combo of mint, aqua and pink for Color Throwdown 427: I wouldn’t be surprised if another one similar to this comes up in April! Here is what I made: I decided that although Spring-y, the combination could also work for a Valentine’s Day card. Those are die cut hearts behind…

CTD 425 – black, mustard, blue

The colour combination over at Color Throwdown is black, mustard and blue: I agree with Barbara Anders in that this colour combination can work well to create a masculine card. That is the direction I took as well: I don’t have a great amount of embellishments, but I wanted to add something so I went…

CASology 231 – forest

The cue card for week 231 at CASology is forest: As previously mentioned, I had already packed away my winter and Christmas supplies so I panicked a bit. The result is a bit of a stretch… I incorporated the colour green and a plant stamp to bring in at least some elements of the traditional…

S.I.P. 81 – black, white and…

Hey there! The colour challenge at Stamp Ink Paper this week is black, white and a bit of colour: As February is coming up and I have been seeing so many fantastic black, white and red Valentine’s Day cards, I chose red as my additional colour. I have been drawn to cards with embossed layers…

October Daily project (Serena Bee)

Greetings, ghosties. October is almost here and with that comes the lead up to many a person’s favourite holiday – Halloween! Last year I was in Japan for October and I wasn’t going to bring along a whole bunch of crafting supplies. I could however manage to bring a notebook and pens for Inktober. It…

Hallowe’en greeting card – CAUTION

I sent this card in to Stampington in February for this year’s Frightful and Delightful submission call. Hallowe’en cards are my favourite to make so of course I was excited to make one so early in the year! This year is a neon year for me. I was excited to use my neon green embossing…

CASology 206 – art

I read this week (regarding writing) that one word prompts were ineffective and not challenging. Be it writing or paper crafting, I beg to differ. The cue card this week at CASology is art: Here is my interpretation: I was happy to use one of my newly acquired Darice embossing folders! The stars are Heidi…

S.I.P. 56 -Christmas In July

The Hallowe’en decorations are slowly starting to fill the shelves of our favourite stores, but Stamp Ink Paper took it one step further this week: I opened up my Christmas supply box and got to work: I used some Hero Arts stamps for the ornament and stamped sentiments. Beside it is a jewel die cut…

CYCI 128 -Shine

It’s a sketch challenge at Can You Case It this week: I had a birthday card to make for my bestest friend so I used this as an opportunity to give her a reminder: The sentiment is stamped with some American Crafts metallic ink. The jewels are die cuts that I coloured with a silver…

C.T.D. 398 -raspberry, pink, green, yellow

The Color Throwdown challenge this week includes these colours: Here is what I made:   The lime green spray ink on the card and ink on the wooden embellishments does not show up well in the photo unfortunately, but it’s there! I used two different stamps for the sentiments and framed them with inked wooden…
