Christmas Greetings Snowflakes

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have another Christmas card using a 3D embossing folder. 

I embossed a piece of cardstock with Simon Says Stamp Refined Snowflakes 3D Embossing Folder and then inked it with 2 different shades of aqua/blue. I used the dies in the embossing folder to die cut the snowflake from glitter cardstock and embossed them in the folder. The sentiment is die cut from the same glitter cardstock using the Creative Expressions die. Added a few gems to finish the card. 

How do you like this card? Please do let me know. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Peonies

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have a floral card to share with you. 

It’s no secret that I love Susan’s Garden dies. I used the Spellbinders - Double and Single Peonies die set to make the flowers. I used leaves from this set and the Spellbinders - Foliage and Ladybugs die set. I used copic markers to add some shading to the flowers. The background die is also from Spellbinders - from the Amazing Paper Grace line called Cannetille Rectangle die set. I love the gold on black. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Through The Window

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have a Spring window scene card. 

I used the Honey Bee Stamps - Seasonal Frame to die cut most of the elements for this scene. I decided to use a grey tone for the window and the wall. I could have ink blended before adhering the wall and window to the card base, but forgot to. So I die cut another piece of paper to use as a mask while I ink blended coral, yellow and blue on to the window scene. All the leaves, flower layers and bird layers from the same die set. The sentiment is from Inspired By stamping set, which I fussy cut and adhered it on to the scene. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Birthday Hibiscus

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have a birthday card with hibiscus flowers. 

I used the Altenew - Paint A Flower - Hibiscus to stamp the flowers using Fade-out ink for no-line coloring, then colored them with copic markers and fussy cut them. I colored the flowers in coral and pink. I die cut the Altenew - Fine Frames: Diamonds to die cut the 3 thin diamond frames in white and adhered them to black card stock panel. I added the flowers to this. For the sentiment, I used the happy birthday from Altenew - Fresh Freesia Stamp set and fussy cut it too. That’s pretty much it. 

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!

Marvelous Day

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have a new-to-me style card. 

I ink blended a piece of white card stock with Memento Morocco, Brutus Monroe Stargazer and Hero Arts Ultra Pink. Then I used the Altenew - Deco Wallpaper stencil to blend the same colors. I matted this panel with a black panel. I die cut the leafy branch using the Altenew - Just Leaves die set and adhered it to the base. The sentiment is from Altenew - Summer Wishes stamp set. 

This style is not something that I do often. So I would appreciate your comments on this. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.
