Fancy-Fold Embossed Card - Crafter's Companion - Ornate Lace...

Hello,

Todays' set of beautiful cards were created using pre-made fancy-fold blanks which have an internal pocket. I adhered an embossed panel to the front flap of the card and using the same colour of card, added a layer on the inside centre and another piece to insert in the pocket. The embossing folder is a 3D Folder from Crafter's Companion - Ornate Lace. Stunning, isn't it!!

The flower was simply stamped in black with a rhinestone centre - Kaszazz Flower and Banner Stamp Set.

I have then faux stitched around all the 'faces' of the card using a black pen.

With the many places to add messages or even photos, this style of card can be used for any purpose.

Hope you are having a creative day!

Spring Meadow Cards - Kaszazz

Hello

These cards were created using papers, stamps and cut outs, from Spring Meadow collection by Kaszazz

For the backgrounds I used either the 12 x 12 papers, or pages from the collage papers pad.

Sentiments were stamped on to the background papers, or onto label pieces from the cut outs.

Images from the cut outs and fussy cut images from the collage papers, were then layered and mounted on to the bases.

Gems, pearls, glossy accents, and stickles glitter glue, were then added for highlights.

These cards are quick and easy and the end result is very effective.

Have a great day

Till next time

Lavinia Mermaids Alana and Guinevere...

Hello!

The following Mermaid cards were created using gorgeous stamps from Lavinia. The backgrounds were created first using distress oxide inks etc, followed by stamping the images in black over the top.

The image used above left and below right is the beautiful Alana and Guinevere (above right and below left) is talking to her little seahorse friend who is from Stampin' Up's By The Tide stamp set.

The little fish are also Lavinia - Shoal of Fish. To create the scene around the mermaids, I have used coral from Stampin' Up's By the Tide and Sea Grass from Kaszazz. Some of the sea grass has also been gold embossed  and adding Stickles to the edges of the cards and to Alana and Guinevere's hair helps to bring a pop to the cards.

Lavinia has an amazing range of images, you really should check them out!

See you again soon!

Ocean cards - Kaszazz

 Hello

On going through my supplies, I found a selection of moments cards from Kaszazz. Images from Coastal Oasis collection were stamped on to the cards, then ink was blended over the backgrounds.

The lighthouse and pelican images were stamped directly on to the cards and coloured, and the pelican was stamped a second time on to white card and fussy cut and layered over the background image. A die cut starfish and a stamped and trimmed sentiment were added.

On this card the background was blended, the shoreline and silhouette angler were stamped, then the sea area was stenciled with waves using white ink. The seagulls were stamped on white card, fussy cut, then added.

The background was blended, then the clouds,  shoreline and pelican stamped. The pelican was stamped a second time, as were the seagulls, fussy cut and added, along with a stamped and trimmed sentiment. White gel pen was added to the shoreline and waves.

Gems, stickles glitter glue, glossy accents and wink of Stella pens were used to add highlights.

Enjoy

Till next time
