Mother's Day cards #2

Hello

This set of Mother's Day cards were created with the All That You Are stamp set, and Frosted Bouquet dies from Stampin'up. Garden Impressions papers, also Stampin'up, were used for backgrounds.
The Mother's Day sentiment on all cards is from Kaszazz
Ranger Archival inks were used for all stamping.

White square card base, matted with green card and paper. Strips of white card layered with the green card form the square pattern. The sentiment was stamped then die cut into a circle and backed with a green scalloped circle. This was mounted on the card front and the stamped and die cut flowers and sprigs added.

The blue card has the image stamped and coloured with watercolour pencils. The large flower was again stamped on extra card then coloured and fussy cut. This was mounted on to the original in an offset position.
The other cards have the sentiment stamped and cut into an oval shape. All pieces were added to the card bases along with ribbons, die cut flowers, leaves and sprigs. Gems were added to all cards. Glossy accents, stickles, Wink of Stella and stardust pens all add sparkle. Liquid pearls were added to flower centres.

I hope you enjoy these cards.

Mother's Day cards

Hello

I had these really pretty papers and thought they would be perfect for  Mother's Day cards.

For the first card 1 sheet of paper was used. The sections were matted on to coordinating coloured card, and  layered together with ribbon wrapped between the layers. A sentiment was stamped and punched out and added, along with gems. Glossy accents, Wink of Stella, and stardust pens added highlights.

This gatefold card uses 2 sheets of paper.
The Mother's Day sentiment is from Kaszazz. Gems, a rhinestone butterfly and paper roses were added to this card. Wink of Stella and stardust pens add extra sparkle.

Have you chosen a card for your Mum, or other special lady in your life?

Cat Cards - Dylusions - Cat Among The Pigeons...

Hello,

Three cards for you today featuring Dylusions - Cat Among The Pigeons Stamp Set. These cute cats all seem to have their own personality...

The above cards have Spellbinders Nestabilities S5-022 Labels as a background for the cats. I have once again used Kaisercraft Paper Pads for the patterned backgrounds.

I have left the images uncoloured and have outlined them in jelly roll glitter pens. There is another cat image in this stamp set as well as four boot wearing bird images!

Until next time,

Cat Cards - Scrap FX - Pretty Cat Stamp...

Hello,

Today's cards were created using a Scrap FX stamp, which is an Australian Company who also manufacture chipboard words and shapes. This cat stamp is a really thin foam stamp and stamps out beautifully! I have used patterned paper from Kaisercraft, a cardstock layer and a coloured card base.

On each card, I have added glitter to the cat image by using a liquid glue - which doesn't show up very well in the photos though!

Next time I stamp this cat, I think I will try using a coloured ink - I can just see it stamped in multi coloured ink!

Hope you have an amazing day!

Construction Cards - Kaszazz

Hello

We all know that boys (of all ages), and some girls, love big machines and building things, and don't mind a bit of dirt, so these cards are aimed towards them. Stamps and papers from Kaszazz were used for these creations.

The machines images were stamped with black Archival ink on to yellow card then fussy cut. Black alcohol marker was used to highlight sections. Brads were added to wheels.
Sentiments were stamped on to the background papers and added to white card bases. Torn papers were layered on and the machines added. An enamel dot was added to the top left corner of each card.
What shall we build today?

Memories Album

Hello

I have had this post sitting here a while, so now is the time to share. I was originally given the papers as part of a pack, which included the pattern papers and printed acetate overlay sheets.
The album is created from scratch, using lightweight box board as the base for the pages.

The album consists of the covers and eight internal pages.

The cover was created, then the corresponding overlay sheet placed over the top.

Pockets and tags were added to each page.

An overlay sheet was added between these pages.

The album is embellished with die cut flowers, vines, and dragonflies.

Rhinestones, wink of Stella pens, stickles and glossy accents add extra sparkle.

The album is bound with rings and added ribbons.

The End

I hope you enjoy this album, and find it inspiring.

Till next time
