New Home

The background of this card is made using an Indigo Blu swirl stamp, stamped using Spun Sugar Distress Ink.  I added a border strip across the centre made with a small flower stamp, coloured using Promarkers.  The main image is from one of the free stamp sets with Creative Stamping magazine which is again coloured with Promarkers.  The frame for the topper is from Sue Wilson's Dainty Rectangles die set.

I added a bit of grey Bakers Twine down the left hand side of the card and added a key which is from the same stamp set as the house.  I stamped and cut it out then using clear embossing powder over the top to give it a bit more of an embellishment look.  Finished off with a sentiment and some Card Candi in the corners of the card.

New Home

I always end up having to make two of each card because my Mum and Nan both ask me for them for family so I've got a couple of new home cards to share.

The background hasn't shown up very well in the photos - it's a brick embossing folder covered over with Spun Sugar Distress Ink.  I used the free stamps from the latest issue of Creative stamping magazine for the main image which is coloured using Spectrum Noir pencils.

I added a few flowers made from Dreamees stamps round the frame and finished off with a sentiment.

Love A Cuppa

I've been neglecting my blog since doing revision so I thought I'd share a couple of quick birthday cards I made this week.

Both of these cards are made using Craftwork Cards 'Love A Cuppa' papercraft kit.  The top one is just one sheet of the decorative papers, I cut off the bottom section with the cupcakes and made them into a border across the centre of the card. I added a few bits of Card Candi in the top corner and a sentiment in the opposite corner.  I used a bit of Stickles Glitter on the top of the cupcakes but it hasn't shown up very well in the photos.

Another quick and simple card.  Just a couple of the decorative papers used for the background, one of the toppers in the centre with a sentiment and some flowers added into the corners.  The flowers are made from a couple of Dreamees stamp sets.
