Sympathy Cards

Hello

This post shares ideas for cards for the sad times.

Stamps used on the above cards are from Kaszazz and Stampin'up.

The gum tree and sentiment images on these two cards are from Darkroom Door.

I hope you will not have occasion for this type of card in the near future.

Wedding Cards...

Hello,

We have a selection of Wedding cards to share with you today.  They all feature the same Bride and Groom die cut (unknown brand), cut from black cardstock and coated with glossy accents. The patterned papers are from a selection of Kaisercraft patterned paper packs - using up strips left over from other projects.

Some of the patterned papers are flocked and some are foiled which add to the specialness of the Wedding Cards. Each message label is punched with Stampin'Up's Modern Label and Word Window punches and wording from Stampin'Up's Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set. 

Simple, but yet elegant!

Have a great weekend and if today is your Wedding Day...

Congratulations!

Kaszazz Large Seahorse Bubble Paint Background Card...

Hello,

Seahorses are such beautiful creatures! Swimming so gracefully - even with their awkward shape! The stamp is from Kaszazz - named Large Seahorse - stamped three times in a co-ordinating ink to match the paint from the backgound. The card base is a bright pink square card and the only layer is the bubble painted background.

The paint I used to create the background is a water based powder paint - you make a mixture of the paint in a bowl, blow in it with a straw to create big bubbles and then blot/dab your paper onto the top of the bowl to 'catch' the bubbles.

Rhinestones and a pre-printed ''Have a happy day'' label finished off this bright and bubbly card.

Cairns in Queensland, Australia opened an Aquarium late last year and visiting the Seahorses is one of my favourite things to do!

See you again soon!

Ocean Theme Frame

Good morning,

I created this frame using a chipboard photo frame and papers from Kaszazz.
Papers were cut to fit sections of the frame, then stamped with coral and shell images from Kaisercraft, and embossed with holographic powder. The small fish were stamped and embossed in black. The papers were attached to the front and back sides of the backing board and the edges covered with Distress metallic paint.

A gold foil frame was cut to fit behind the front section and attached to the backing board. The paper panel was attached to the front section, and acetate was cut and fitted behind the window section.

The verse (from StampIt), was stamped and attached to the centre of the backing board.

The edges of the front panel were painted and the panel attached to the back board, leaving the top edge free, to allow a photo to be slipped in behind.

Die cut seahorse, coral, angel fish, turtle, starfish and shells were then added.

The easel stand was painted and attached to the back of the frame.

Wink of stella glitter pen and glossy accents were added to various areas of the die cuts to highlight and rhinestones added for bubbles.

Have a great day.

Till next time

Stampin' Up Flourishing Phrases Birthday Card...

Hello,

This absolutely beautiful '80' Birthday Card features Stampin' Up's Die set - Flourishing Phrases and the Pot is stamped using Stampin' Ups' background die - 'Sanded'.

The card is made to A5 size - to be able to fit the size of the pot holding the flowers.

This is one of my favourite cards that I have ever created - the glitter layer along with the 'berries' being die-cut using the same glitter card and then followed by the small gold brads being used as the flower centres - give this card such a touch of elegance - suitable for an 80 year old Lady!

A very special card - for a very special Lady!

Celebrate your day!
