Thank You Card with Laurie

March 20, 2017 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Other, Thank You Cards

Hello and Happy Monday!! Laurie here to share a very simple card using mostly die cutting. Studio Katia has amazing dies, from stitched dies to my favourite, the dotted detail dies!

SUPPLIES:

Thank You So Much Stamp Set

The Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames Die Set

Elongated Dotted Hexagons

Stitched Notebook Die Set

Majestic Sequin Fusion

Space Silver Fusion Sequins

Mini Misti

I started by using the largest frame die from the The Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames Die Set to cut a panel of white cardstock. I then took the middle die from the Elongated Dotted Hexagons to cut a “window” in the centre of this panel. To create a frame for my window, I nested the middle and the largest of those same dies, taped them together and ran them through my die cutting machine with some light grey cardstock.

I traced the opening with pencil onto my cardbase so I knew where to stamp the sentiment. The “thank you” comes from the newly released Thank You So Much Stamp Set. Using my Mini Misti, I lined up the sentiment and stamped in black ink.

To show the recipient a lot of love, I plastered the front of the card with die cut hearts using the stitched heart die from the Stitched Notebook Die Set. This helped me use up some of my scraps!

And to make this sparkle, I used a combination of the Majestic Sequin Fusion and Space Silver Fusion Sequins.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!! Have a fabulous week and see you soon!!

Together We Bloom with Laurie

March 6, 2017 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, New Release

Hello all and Happy Monday!! I’m back to share a card with you today made with the latest release!! This release has some awesome floral sets and that is exactly what I used for my project today.

SUPPLIES:

Together We Bloom Clear Stamp Set

Stitched Nested Creative Rectangles Dies

Crystal Rainbow Fusion Sequins

Sparkling Crystals Mix

I’m using the new Together We Bloom stamp set. This set is beautiful!! Full of hand drawn flowers and a big, bold sentiment. I started out by stamping a couple of the flowers in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto some white cardstock. I coloured the flowers with my ProMarkers by Windsor and Newton.

I wanted to make a shaped card and the dies from Studio Katia make this easy and fun!! I used the Stitched Nested Creative Rectangles Dies. I die cut two of the larger dies and scored one of them 1/4″ from the top. I used Scor-Tape to adhere the two panels together, and there you go, a shaped card!! I die cut one of the smaller dies in the set for my sentiment.

I fussy cut the florals and adhered them to my sentiment panel. A nice coating of Clear Wink of Stella to these images gave them an extra pop!! Now for the embellishments!! In this release there are these super cool crystals! The look like diamonds except for the pointed tip, they are flat. This makes is so easy to adhere them to your projects. And boy, do they sparkle!! Next to the Crystal Rainbow Fusion Sequins, these are my next favorite embellishments.

Thank you for stopping by today. Have an incredible week!!

Hello everyone,
Today I am sharing Happy Birthday card featuring Brush Strokes, Origami Winter and Birthday Lions stamp sets. There is not mush to say about this card. I tried to experiment with Brush Strokes stamp set and made a background for my outlined present, which I stamped in Memento Tuxedo black ink. For the bright spots, I used Spiced Marmalade, Shabby Shutters and Picked Raspberry Distress inks. The sentiment came from Birthday Lion stamp set. At the end, I added a small Clear Heart Drop.

Flying Twins card with Anna

February 11, 2017 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS

Hello! Anna is here and I want to share my card with two flying twins-lions. I started with some stamping of Birthday Lions stamp set on the blank piece of cardstock. The balloon was stamped the first, then I added the string. I masked the bottom part of the balloon and stamped one ‘flying’ lion. I masked the lion’s paw and stamped his (her) twin. And then removed all masks.

SUPPLIES:

Birthday Lions Clear Stamp Set

Clear Round Drops

On the next step I colored the characters with Tombow Dual Brush pens and then fussy cut them all as one piece.

For the background I made some clouds directly on the card base and stamped the sentiment. Then I adhered my lions with the foam tape and finished the making with adding small and medium clear round drops.

Have a good day!

Happy Birthday with Laurie!

February 6, 2017 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Other

Happy Monday!! How about we start the week off with a birthday card??! One of my co-workers is having a birthday this week so I decided to make a her a card!!

SUPPLIES:

Birthday Lions Clear Stamp Set

Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames Dies

Clear Round Drops 4mm and 5mm

I chose the Birthday Lions stamp set for my card today. And I decided to use some of the smaller images to create a background panel. I used some Bristol paper because my medium of choice today was my Zig Clean Colour Brush markers!! I haven’t used these in awhile and forgot how fun they were!!

I stamped the banner, one of the party hats and one of the hearts from the set with Versamark ink and used my favourite embossing powder, Silver Pearl from Ranger!! There was no rhyme or reason to my stamping. I started with the largest image then filled in any spaces with the smaller.

I chose a few happy colors from my 48 marker set and coloured in my images by swiping some colour on the image then blending out with a little water.

I cut the panel down using the largest die from the Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames dies. The sentiment die is also from that set. I LOVE that dotted detail!!

I may be behind the times here but I wanted to add a “nest” of silver thread behind the sentiment. I simply balled it up and used the foam adhesive from the sentiment strip to adhere it down. To finish this card off, I added some Clear Round Droplets in 4mm and 5mm sizes.

Thank you for joining me today! Wishing you a fabulous week!!

Be Mine with Valentyna

February 1, 2017 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Valentines Day Cards

Hello friends,
Sharing Be Mine card using Dotted Frame, Sweet Heart Candy stamp set and sequins.
This time I decided to use patterned paper for the background (PTI mini market kit), which I die-cut with Dotted Frame die. I stamped a heart with SSS Magnolia ink and then added an outline and the sentiment in SSS white pigment ink. Fuzzy cut it and placed it in the middle of the spreading rays.
