Rachelle Anne Miller - Owl Be Your Friend

 


Hello and happy Wednesday!

I keep losing track of the days since I’ve retired so I’m a bit late posting my project today over on the Rachelle Anne Miller Digital Stamps Facebook page!

I’ve made a cute card today using the “Owl be your friend” digital stamp from Rachelle Anne Miller.  How cute are these two owls!  I printed them onto some Neenah solar white card stock and coloured them in with alcohol markers and Prisma pencils.  


Here’s a link to the digital stamp:

Less is More Challenge #435

 


Hello and happy Saturday!  It's a beautiful sunny beach day here today and time for a new challenge over at Less is More.



Our Guest Designer is Caroline Paton our November Winner with the most adorable card for you so be sure to hop on over to the blog and check it out!

For my card today I've used the Seaside Seagulls stamp set from MFT .  I have been spending a fair amount of my time down the beach enjoying our Summer weather with the local seagulls so I thought this stamp set would be perfect for this challenge.
I stamped and coloured them with some alcohol markers then cut them out using my 
Scan n Cut.  I masked off the bottom of a top folding card base and sponged some blue ink then adhered the seagulls in a row using some foam tape.  


Here's  a photo of one of my local seagulls!  He looks happy even without chips!

WWC305 - Helen's Challenge: Anything Goes With a Masculine Twist

 

Hello, it's time for a new challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday.

Helen is our lovely host this week with our Anything Goes with a Masculine Twist.

I have made a very CAS card this week using a die that came in one of Catherine Poolers Stamp of Approval boxes a few years ago.  Catherine has just released a remake of this set!

I sponged a few different blues over the present and bow and adhered it with some foam tape to the centre of the card panel.  I stamped the sentiment from the "Yay Gifts" stamp set also from CP Designs and then adhered the card panel to a top folding card base using some foam tape.





 We would love to see you join in on our challenge.   Link  your project to the challenge blog HERE.  Make sure you check out all the other DT cards for some inspiration.

CAS-ual Fridays Heart Board Die

 Hello, I'm over on the CAS-ual Fridays blog today with a card I made using the Heart Board Dies.


This fun heart die cuts 4 open hearts and one small solid heart all at once!

I've used them all on my card today along with the arrow that's included.
This card took me less than 5 minutes to make!  The possibilities are endless with this die.  You could die cut a few from different colored card stock and inlay them to make a rainbow heart.  How fun would that be!
I adhered the hearts with some liquid glue with the exception of the middle one.  I used some foam tape to pop that one up, threaded the arrow through and adhered that to the heart with liquid glue.
Of course this doesn't have to be a Valentines card but I will be giving it to my hubby in February.

CAS-ual Fridays New Release Day 3 - Stencils

Hello and welcome back for Day 3 of the CAS-ual Fridays New Year Release.

Today we are showcasing the Chunky Chevron and Bubbly Stencils.

Click HERE to take you over to the CAS-ual Fridays blog to see all the gorgeous cards the rest of the Design Team have made.

For my first card I used some glitter paste with the Chunky Chevron stencil.  When it was dry I sponged three different shades of Catherine Pooler ink over the top for that ombre look.  I cut the panel down and added the Hello die cut from the "Sweet Friends" dies and some of the 4 petals die cuts. 


For my second card I ink blended first using the Bubbly stencil then stamped the sentiment from the Pop Fizz Clink stamp set. Then I placed the stencil back on and added a thin layer of the glitter paste over the top of the ink.

CAS-ual Fridays New Release Day 2 - Margaritas Anyone!

 

Hello and welcome back for day 2 of the CAS-ual Fridays new release!

Today we are showcasing the "Salty" stamp set and "Margarita Glass" dies.
I couldn't decide if I wanted a strawberry or lemon margarita so I made one of each!

I stamped and die cut the margarita glasses then ink blended with distress inks. I did some stenciling over the pink one and adhered it directly onto a card panel. I stamped the sentiment onto a separate piece of card stock and popped it up using some foam tape.



I adhered the lemon margarita with some foam tape onto a stenciled background and stamped the sentiment directly onto the card panel.

I'll see you tomorrow for day 3 of the new release!
