A fun card making blog
I borrowed some 3D embossing folders and stencils from a friend and spent some time playing around. These are the results.
Each card was splattered with a combination of white, black or gold paint and adhered to a black mat and then a white card base. The stencilling was done in various colours with oxide inks. I chose two birthday sentiments and two other sentiments and purposely kept these simple.

Welcome to Cut It Up Challenge 362!
The theme for this challenge is to add a sentiment.
I die cut a white lattice background twice and sandwiched a piece of acetate between those two pieces and two A2 pieces of white cardstock. The images were stamped, stencilled and die cut and adhered to opposite corners. I trimmed off the excess and added an embossed sentiment in the bottom corner. Some clear gems were placed around the card.

This pretty card is one I recently taught and this was my second attempt. I love the shades of blue and gold.
The front has an arch shape with a fussy cut floral image and a die cut birthday sentiment. Inside the card, there is an open arch section with flowers that appear to be floating. I apologize for the lighting... it was very difficult to get a photo that showed the floating component. I added some gold gems inside the opening and a panel on the right to write a message.
I am entering my card in the Creative Creases challenge.

These cards were all made the same way. I inked a circle that was masked on the card front and then heat embossed silhouette images inside the circles. The sentiments were also heat embossed and I die cut the front with a stitched rectangle die. Each front was adhered to the card base with craft foam.
Which set is your favourite?

This is another card made for an online crop event. The challenge is shown below.
I use the colours and the plants (kind of) for my card.
I created a background on vellum using Copic markers and rubbing alcohol. Once that was dry, I adhered it to white cardstock with an adhesive sheet. The images were die cut from black cardstock and I cut black cardstock on an angle so it would cover the stems. I embossed a sentiment on the bottom piece and used a white gel pen to add detailed to the images.

This card was made for an online crop event - the challenge is shown below.
I had the same embossing folder for the background so I used that. I used a distressing tool to rough up the edges. The letters were die cut and adhered to black letters to create the shadows. They were adhered with foam tape and I added an embossed sentiment with gold metallic thread. Gold gems were placed around the letters.

This is another card made for an online crop event.
I used a tic tac toe grid and met every element. That grid is below.
I stamped and stencilled the plumeria image and then die cut it. A piece of white cardstock was die cut with a tiny design and backed with green cardstock. On the right side, I used two die cut circles and some small leaf images under the main image. The plumeria flowers were adhered with foam tape and I added an embossed sentiment and some yellow gems.

This is another card created for an online crop event.
The sunset background was created by tearing cardstock pieces and layering them. That was adhered to the card base and I added a woodgrain embossed panel with a die cut circle on top (trimmed 1/2" on the edge). The black leaf image was die cut and adhered partially over the circle opening and I added a stamped sentiment with gold metallic thread on top.

I made this cute card for an online crop event - there was an inspiration photo that I used.
All the pieces were die cut and assembled. The background was partially embossed and inked at the top. I stamped the sentiment at the bottom and added the bird and the flowers. Some yellow gems were placed around the flowers.

This is the third card using these adorable animals!
This one was very simple - the image was stamped and coloured and I also stamped the sentiment under the doggies. I raised the card front on the base with foam tape. Easy!
