Birthday Wildflowers

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

I used the Honey Bee Stamps - Lovely Layers : Wildflowers die set to die cut the flowers in white and blended them with colored inks. I used inks from Altenew, Hero Arts and Brutus Monroe to color the flowers. Then I embossed a black panel with Simon Says Stamp - 3D embossing folder. Sentiment is also from Simon Says Stamp. I arranged the flowers the way I wanted and I adhered them with glue.

Peace Sprig

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have a card that I made for a few challenges. 

I bought some Simon Says Stamp dies during the diecember sale and this Rustic Sprigs is one of them. I decided to use that on this white on white card. The background is the Simon Says Stamp - Holidy Greenery 3D embossing folder. I die cut 2 of the sprigs and arranged them on the embossed panel. The sentiment is Altenew - Fancy Peace, which I die cut in white and gray. I layered the white on grey slightly offset, so that it appears like a small shadow. 

I love reading your comments. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Vintage Lantern

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog! Today I have a Christmas card with a Christmas lamp. 

I bought this Simon Says Stamp - Antique Lamp a while ago, but didn’t get a chance to use it. I just loved the samples the design team had done with it and wanted to do justice lol! I embossed a piece of blue cardstock with the embossing folder. This folder comes with a set of dies too, which I used to die cut pieces of white cardstock. It cuts out the lamp part of it. I embossed the die cut pieces with the folder again. Then I colored the die cut and embossed pieces with copics. The background blue cardstock which I embossed the entire scene - I blended some darker blue ink from around the edges until I reached the lamp. I also added some dark grey ink around the edges alone. I inked some yellow around where the candle flame is. I swiped my white ink pad gently to get some white on the snow fall. I then adhered the copic colored pieces on top of the embossed image in the background. I used my wink of Stella pen - which I discovered in my stash this week ;) - to add some shimmer to the sow on the lamp. That’s it!

Merry Christmas Bells

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. I have another Christmas card today.

I had this cover plate die from Poppy Stamps for a long time. I decided to die cut a few panels with it. For this, I used green card stock and inked the edges with Brutus Monroe - Grass Stain ink. I die cut the bells using the die set from Simon Says Stamp on gold card stock and gold glitter card stock. The bow is from The Greetery - Fit to be Tied. Since the background has a lot of 'Merry Christmas', I decided not to add a sentiment separately.

Beach Day

 Hello everyone! I'm sharing a beach scene light up card that I made for one of our friends' farewell.

The base of the scenery is the Hero Arts - Beach Frame die. I use copics to color in the various elements in the die cut. Here's the card with the lights on:

I had the 'switch' for the light up circuit on the bottom right corner of the card. So when I press it, the light in the light house turns on. I used EZ Lights for the light up circuit. The light house is a die from Gina Marie Designs - I removed the rest of the die cut. I cut it twice, so that I can sandwich the wires in between them. I colored it with Copics. Here's how it looks.

This is a 3 fold card, so the outer fold has a window with the lighthouse, the second panel had the sea view with a ship.

The sailboat is a die from Simon Says Stamp and I colored it with Copics too. For the background, I used Brutus Monroe inks. On the window side, I made sure to color the back side of the die cut as well I used another panel with a oval window cut out as a backing and to hide the wires and battery. Here's the view of the inside of the window with the lights on:

Here's the card fully open. It had plenty of space for all of us to write messages.

 Hello everyone!! I'm here to share a beautiful Spring card with Daffodils.

I used the stamps from this old Heartfelt Creations stamp set called Daffy Daffodils. I the daffodils with Memento London Fog ink, colored them with Copics and die cut them with the coordinating dies from the set called Spring Medley die set. I die cut the basket using Simon Says Stamp Easter Basket die set on brown card stock. I arranged the flowers in the basket and adhered them with glue and foam squares.

For the sentiment, I die cut the hello using the Altenew Fancy Hello die on the same card stock used for the basket. I adhered the flower basket and the sentiment and added a some Nuvo drops in Yellow and Green.
