Alphabet Challenge - Letter S

 I am still working away at the Alphabet Challenge... this is my card for the letter S. 

S stands for the following: scene card, sunflowers, scarecrow, squirrels, stencilling and sweater weather. Whew!

I stencilled the clouds and added the grass at the bottom. The basket was die cut and inked and I stamped, coloured and die cut the scarecrow, sunflowers, mice and leaves. The scene was placed on two mats and then on the card base. An autumn sentiment referring to sweater weather was placed at the bottom.

From My Window to Yours

 This adorable card was inspired by one on the Waffle Flower site. 

I die cut all the plant pieces and window frames. The backgrounds behind the windows were stencilled with clouds and I added the images accordingly. The frames were set on a pink plaid background and I added a sentiment across the top and adhered the card front to the base with craft foam.

Emoji Notification Card

 How cute is this? 

I love the little emojis that I stamped, coloured and die cut. I embossed black cardstock and die cut a circle from that piece. I added a thin gold frame and placed the emojis around the frame. The sentiment was stamped on blue cardstock and I added that piece behind the black panel which was adhered to the white card base with foam tape.

You're So Grate

 This card was CASEd from the Trinity Stamps website. 

I embossed the white background with a dotted folder. I die cut all the pieces for the sentiment and images and added them to the card front. The card front was adhered to a black card base - easy!

Holiday Cheer Snowman

This cute card was CASEd from one on the Sunny Studios website. 

I inked a panel of white cardstock in a rainbow colour scheme and adhered a piece of black cardstock over the edge so less than an inch is showing. The wreath and snowflakes were die cut and I placed them around the rainbow coloured snowman. So cute but so fun!

Let's Stamp Together August - Little Birdies

 These cards were made with the Let's Stamp Together subscription. The designer of August's kit was Pretty Pink Posh and it included a stamp set, two stencils and tons of dies!

Some of the birds were stamped and coloured and others were die cut, inked and assembled. The cards are so cute with so many neat ideas.

AH 698 - Trio of Poinsettias

Welcome to Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 698!

The sketch is shown below.

I am heavily into making Christmas cards now so I chose a holiday theme. The blue base was die cut with an impression die and I splattered the white piece with gold paint. The circle and the sentiment pieces were placed in the centre and I added three poinsettias in the corners. Some gold gems finished off this pretty card. 

Come and join us at Atlantic Hearts and show us how you interpret this sketch. 

You have until Sunday evening to link up your project. 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Open Sentiment Tree Card

 This card was made for the 30 Minute Cardmaking Stash Dash.

The parameters for this challenge were as follows: Card Style: surprise inside, Colour: green, Embellishment: crafter's choice, Technique: tearing and Occasion: holiday or thinking of you. 

I chose to make a Christmas card. The trees were die cut and inked. I used gold and silver pens and red Liquid Pearls to add the dots on the trees. The blue background was embossed with a falling snow embossing folder and I tore pieces of white cardstock to create snow. The circle opening allows the sentiment to be seen on the inside of the card and I added clear Stickles along the edges of the snowbanks.

Plumeria Card

 This pretty card uses one of my favourite creative sets. The plumeria set from Pinkfresh Studio is so pretty. 

I used a quilted die on the white background and then die cut a large oval from the centre of the panel. The floral image was stamped, stencilled and die cut. I inked the opposite corners of the oval and set it inside the raised background. The floral image was adhered across the oval and I added the sentiment and some clear gems on the front.

Watt's Up?

 This is the most adorable stamp set... there are coordinating dies but I didn't use them. 

This was a new to me technique... stamped the lightbulbs with grey ink and coloured in the open section using a white Posca marker. That was tough - the marker is very wet and getting full coverage in one pass is almost impossible. The paper pills if the marker is layered. 

Once that was dry, I restamped the image and embossed it in black. I fussy cut the silver parts for the bulbs and coloured the bottoms black. The sentiment was embossed in white at the bottom. Some rounded edges on the layers and this card was finished! 

Enjoy,
