Reflections Cards - Stampin'up

Hello

I had a request for some reflections cards, this is what I came up with.


Stampin'up images were used for all cards. The seagull and cloud dies are from IO. Shading is with distress inks. All card bases are white with blue matting.


This scene is stamped on to matte card.


This scene is stamped on gloss card and layered on to embossed card.


This card is also stamped on gloss card. Both these gloss cards have been sealed with distress glaze.
Rhinestones have been added to all designs.

Till next time
keep happy

Z fold Trifold Cards

Hello

This set of cards all use the same stamps and dies but with different papers, finishes and embellishments.
Sentiment stamps used are from Kaszazz.
Butterfly stamps and punch,  and  the Dies (Flourish Thinlits) are from Stampin'up.
Card design is a Z fold with an additional panel on the front.























The use of varying colours and embellishments can make the same card appear very different.

Till next time - happy creating

All cards have a white base card, blue mount card, and use Early Years papers. The sentiment has been stamped directly on to the patterned paper. Archival ink is used.




Brads, ribbon, buttons and twine are used to embellish.


All cards have a stamped insert, and I have die cut numbers which can be added to  the card front to create an age birthday card.

Inspiration for those birthday cards for the little boys in your life.
