Hi everyone.

and join us by sharing your card, layout etc.

For my card I have used some stamps from Darkroom Door and have

followed in a vintage style to create my Fathers Day card.

Supplies Used:

Taylored Expressions Die - Simple Strips Die

The Stamp Market -  Skinny Upper Alpha Die

To create some interest, I mounted the pen nibs onto black cardstock and then onto

 I then inked around the edges of the layers with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo.

Celebrating with you.....

Hi everyone.

Popping in today to share my latest card with you.

I have used a die from Spellbinders as the focal for my card which  I gave to my husband on his birthday.

I die cut the frame three times in black cardstock and glued them together to create depth, adding the centre pieces back in.  I then die cut it again three times in the blue and pieced some of them into the frame and created the extra pattern on the centre of the die to create some interest.

The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions, love these,  all different sentiments,  great for all occasions. 

The background paper is from half a sheet of Scrapbooking Paper I have had in my stash  from eons ago by Making Memory.

Supplies Used:

Spellbinders Kaleidoscope die - Optical Illusion

Taylored Expressions die and stamp - Simple Strips Background

Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad - Black Soot

Hero Arts Embossing Powder - white

Thanks for looking 

Until next time - Happy Crafting

Mermaid Wishes....

Hi everyone

Dropping in today to share my latest card.

Recently Bec from Bizzy Becs has been sharing Friday Freebies via Newsletter and for my card today

I have used two of the digital stamps from Friday Freebie #3 .

She was so much fun to colour using copic markers and prisma pencils.

 The background has been coloured using Distress Oxides which were applied using the new Picket Fence Studio Brushes.   I sprinkled the background with  water to create  the look of bubbles.

I just love how she turned out.  

If you missed out on receiving the freebies,  they will be available

shortly in the store.

3D Blooms....

Hi everyone.

Dropping in today to share a quick and easy card featuring Cut & Lift 3d Die by Lisa Horton and Creative Expressions.  I like how the flowers can be popped up after cutting.

I also experimented with some flower cut out onto patterned paper,  and the flowers can

also be cut completely by scissors after die cutting.  Which would then

create a different look.

Supplies used:

Creative Expressions die - Cut & Lift 3D - Blooms

Avery Elle Die - Wonky Stitches

Lawn Fawn Die - Small Stitched Rectangles Stackables

Sue Wilson Die - Mini Expressions - Happy Anniversary

Avery Elle Stamp - Simply Said Hugs

Thanks for looking - until next time

last month, which I didnt want to share until she had received it.

To create the shaker look I cut my backing plate die 4 times in 

white card stock, then the top layer was die cut in lavendar.  I  added a piece

 some of the recesses, before sealing with white cardstock.
