Birthday Boy on a Gift

Hey Crafty Friends,
I'm here today with a Cute little Birthday Card !!
I used my Next Level Embossing Folders by WRMK for the first time (It has been lying around unopened every since) and I must say I just Love the Deep Embossing/Debossing. Adds so much dimension to the card in real life. You have to see it to believe it !
For the Embossed layer I distressed my Card panel using Twisted Citron & Squeezed Lemonade & then embossed on my Big Shot Machine !
The birthday boy image was stamped with Antique Linen Distress Ink & then I did the -'NO-LINE-COLORING which is my absolute fav. technique using my Distress Markers.
Next I cut that panel using my SSS - Stitched Rectangle Die.
The card base measures about 6"X5 1/2"
I scored some lines on my card base on the left using my MS Scor board with every 1/8th" to add some interest & Tied some Organza Ribbon & Twine !
Next I adhered the Embossed Panel on the Card base & then Pop-Dotted the Image Panel.
Lastly I tucked the Sentiment Strip under the Image Panel & added a few sequins.

Supplies Used :

We R Memory Keepers : Next Level Embossing Folders - Geometric.

Penny Black Clear Stamp Set - Cake & Wishes

Distress Inks : Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron (for the Embossed Panel)

Distress Markers & My Waterbrush: for coloring the Image

Smile Please

Hello Crafty Peeps,

I'm here with a fun Pastel Card (perfect for the Eater Season).

For the background I just watercolored random sizes of circles. I cut a 4 1/2" X 6" Top folding card which I cut at the base using my Lawnfawn Stitched Scallop Border Die.

The focal Point of my card is the Cute Camera Image from the Winnie & Walter Stamp Set - The Write Stuff:Picture Perfect. It has been fussy cut & Glossy accents have been added on the lens with a bit of sparkle ! The sentiments have been moulded into a semi-circular shape & then stamped on the circles !! I finished the card by adding a few sequins here& there and some Doodling using my FineTip 0.1 marker ! I used my Gansai Tambi Watercolors to color the circles & camera !

I Stamped & Fussy Cut a Few More Cameras & Made them into Paper Clips for my Planner.

Ain't they too cute!!

I am here with another Cute Card & It's for my SIL & She is a REAL GEM and I love her Very Very Much ! It's already in the mail & I Hope she likes it !!

Okay let me tell you a little bit about how I made this one !!

For the background I simply distress just a section of the Top Right area of the card with my Picked Raspberry Distress Ink & Sprayed some water using my Mini Mister & a few larger drops were created using my fingers!! I love how it turned out !

Next I stamped the Diamond with a Very Soft Granite using the 3rd generation stamping as I din't want the image to show. After that I traced the image with my Micron pen to give it a sketchy look !!

Once it was dry, I watercolored using my Faber Castell Watercolor Pencils & then used my dry pencils for some shading. Lastly I stamped the Sentiment using Versamark Ink & Embossed it with the American Crafts - Zink Glitter Gold Embossing Powder.

I also added a little versamark randomly near the sentiment & embossed it with the Stampendous Shabby White Embossing Powder & added some sequins to complete the card !

Love Everyday

Hello Friends,

I'm on a Roll making V-Day Cards & I'm so enjoying myself creating with all the Pinks & Reds..

Here's a Love CAS Card ! This was so much fun to create & super easy !

All I did was grabbed my Watercolor Paints & did a wash with a little drippage on the left hand corner. I distress the Smallest Die cut with my Hickory Smoke Distress Ink as I din't find any grey Cardstock in my stash. I arranged my die cuts & sentiment banner until I was happy with the look. Stuck them on the card front & finished it off by adding some sequins & then lastly added the Clip on top with some ribbon ! I also added Clear Wink of Stella on the Heart !!
