Special Delivery

 Hi lovely people!

Not sure what happened to 2024?! Lol! Well, on my blog anyway! 

One thing that did happen though, I got another nephew last January and this was the card I made for my sister and brother-in-law 😊

Thank you for visiting 💓

A Pter-rific Birthday

 Hiya peeps!

I hope you're all well. I'm back with a shadow box card featuring a cute pterodactyl stamp from Heffy Doodle.

I stamped this wee guy with a Versafine Vintage Sepia ink pad on to Botanical Ultra Smooth watercolour paper, painted with my Faber-Castell Abrecht Durer pencils and fussy cut them out.

For the base of the card I cut two pieces at 7x7 inches and scored both at a half inch and one inch. This makes the finished portrait size 7x5 inches. I then cut a window from one piece using a rectangular die. My inspiration for making this card was from Jennifer McGuire's YouTube video, which you can find here.

For the background I ink blended with Salvaged Patina and Broken China Distress Oxide ink pads and a cloud stencil with white gouache paint. I die cut the mountains, ink blended those with Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink pads and added more white gouache paint for the snow peaks.

For the front frame I used the same blue Distress Oxide ink pads and splattered with the white gouache paint.

I stamped the sentiment with a Versafine Imperial Purple ink pad, adhered everything together, sticking the stamped images on to acetate and sandwiching them in between the two pieces of card.

Then for the finishing touches I added a few wee clay stars and some Stickles Stardust glitter glue.

 Thank you for visiting today :)

Very Valentiny

Hi everyone!

Two card posts in one week! Quite a rarity these days! Lol! So on to my card order for a valentines featuring a T-Rex and an English Bull Terrier! And fortunately I had stamps to match that combination! 

The T-Rex is from Heffy Doodle and the dog is from Stamping Bella. The other wee images are from Pretty Pink Posh. I stamped all the images with a Versafine ink pad onto Botanical Ultra Smooth watercolour paper and painted them with Mijello Mission Gold paints and Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer pencils.

For the background I stamped the large 'love' sentiment onto watercolour papper with a Versamark ink pad and embossed with silver embossing powder. I then used the matching die and cut it from a piece of cold pressed watercolour paper, which I had painted purple and stencilled with a purple ink pad.

For the shaker part, I glued acetate on the back of the panel and filled with some clear heart embellishments. 

I stamped the sentiment onto red card with Versamark ink and embossed it with white embossing powder.

Then for the finishing touches, I used Stickles glitter glue on some of the stencilling and the doggy's collar, dotted about with Nuvo Crystal Drops and I used Glossy Accents to give the doggy a shiney eye and nose.

Products I have used that you can find in my store:

Pretty Pink Posh 'Love' clear stamps

Pretty Pink Posh 'Love' coordinating dies

Pretty Pink Posh 'Love' background stencil

Thank you for visiting today and have a lovely weekend.

Snappy Birthday

 Hi everyone!

Another month has disappeared somewhere! I do love autumn though  :)

Onto my card, I decided to make this a fun shaker one. The fab crocodile stamps are from Heffy Doodle, I stamped them onto Botanical Ultra Smooth watercolour paper with an Archival ink pad.

I painted the crocs with Distress Inks, fussy cut them out and added 3D foam pads on the back of them.

I then die cut the 'Happy Birthday' out of plain white cardstock, stuck acetate on the back, then carefully stuck down all the middle bits from the die cut on to the front of the acetate. I then added 3D fun foam on the back, filled with sprinkles and stars and stuck a piece of cardstock on (which I ink blended with Distress Oxide in the colour Wilted Violet).

I then ink blended the front with Distress Oxide in the colour Squeezed Lemonade, popped the crocs on and a few stars and voila! Oh and I added a wee bit of sparkle with my Wink Of Stella pen :)

Thank you for visiting today.
