Peek-A-Boo Birthday Card

Hello everyone! Today I have a card I made for Addicted to stamp to share with you. This month theme is

FOR A BOY/MAN

I decided to make a fun card for a birthday boy. I had seen a tutorial of peek-a-boo card so I tried to create one. I used kraft and blue color combo which would be perfect for a boy. I created the paw-print pattern on kraft paper using stamp from Marianne Design and clear embossing powder. The main image stamps are from Lili of the Valley Kitten Trio Presents stamp set and sentiment stamps.

The stamped images were colored with distress ink. I also used sentiments and letter stamps from Fiskars, Newton’s Nook, Hero Arts, and Penny Black to decorate the card.

I hope you like my card today. Thank you for stopping by.

Hot Sunshine Flower

Hello everyone! To share with you today is the card I made for Addicted to stamp May challenge. The theme is

Flowers

At first, I planned to create a pastel sweet floral card. As the time I made this card, the temperature in my hometown had risen to 38 deg C (above 100 deg F). The super-hot temperature inspired me to create summer-theme flower card instead. Here it is.

I used stamp from Hero Arts “Newspaper Flower” which I had on shelf for years. The sentiment stamp is from Lily of the Valley. The leaf was hand-drawn. The patterned paper is from gift wrapping paper.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful sunshine day.

Houses Tri-Fold Card

Hello everyone! To share with you today is the card I made for new Addicted to stamp challenge. This month theme is

Lots of Layers (Paper or Stamps)

I picked one of the stamps I had on shelf for years but never had a chance to use it. I created a simple tri-fold card using Art Impressions Suburb Tryfold stamp set. When each panel folds together, it creates layers of houses and fit this theme.

I colored the image with watercolor and distress ink.

The sentiment is also included in this stamp set.

I would like to enter this card to these challenges.

• As You Like It Challenge - Favourite Colouring Medium. I love to use distress ink and water colour. They are easy to blend and can be mixed to get different shades of colours.

Hello crafty friends! Can’t believe I have been away from my blog for so long. There are many cards I made but didn’t have time to show them here. Anyway, it’s never been too late to do things right. Let’s start my first post this year with the card I made for Addicted to Stamps last month challenge themed Spring.

I picked this “Think Spring Bunnies” from Whimsy Stamp for this project. I decorated the card with many die cuts from Doohickey and Lawn Fawn. The pattern paper is from Pion Design.

I colored the stamped image with distress ink adding different colors for each bunny.

The paper and decorations are in pastel pink and blue with the touch sparkling gold. The sentiment die cut is from My Favorite Things. Other die cuts are from Doohickey. I also decorated the card with trims, ribbon, and pearls.

Christmas Tree Easel Card

Hello! Today I have a project I made for Magnolia Forever challenge to share with you. This month theme is

Christmas/Winter

I have created a Christmas tree easel card for this challenge. The card base is in circle shape so it would look like tree skirt when the tree stands on it. I decorated the tree skirt with golden trim and ribbon. The Christmas tree die cut is from Marianne Design. The present box die cuts are from Tim Holtz Retro packages. I added pop up mechanism on these presents die cuts so the tree can stand behind them.

The image is Magnolia “Tilda Hanging Ornaments” stamp from Merry Little Christmas 2010 collection. I masked her on the “Christmas Pallet” stamp from A Lovely Christmas 2015 collection. I colored the stamped image with distress ink. I decorated the tree with tinsel ribbon and ornaments die cuts from Doohickey Volume 17 and attached Tilda in front of the tree so it looks like she is hanging the ornaments.

The sentiment is stamp from LOTV which is heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I cut the sentiment with Doohickey Banner die.

The card can be laid flat to put into envelope.

This cute Tilda is Magnolia “Miracle Love Tilda” stamp from A Touch of Love 2016 collection. I colored the stamped image with distress ink and added some glitters on her wings and skirt. The background is the “Love Heart” stamp from Magnolia Love 2009 collection.

Spring Swing Double Side Step Card

Hello everyone! Today I would like to show a card for Magnolia Forever challenge. The theme for this month is

Flowers

I have created another spring themed step card. This time I used double side step card design. The steps are in the center of the card so I laid flowers field on these steps to create background for Tilda on the swing.

I decorated the card with many die cuts from Doohickey. These die cuts are from Doohickey volume 4 (flower field on both steps, clouds), 8 (Grasses), 10 (Leaves on the branch, sun), 11 (wood tag), and 16 (Big tree). I also used die cuts from Magnolia (Sakura Branch), Lawn Fawn (Grass border), and Spellbinders (Leaves). The sentiment ‘Happy Day’ is from Magnolia shadow stamp from Little Sunshine 2015 collection.

The cute Tilda is from Magnolia “Country Girl” stamp. I used stamp masking technique to make her sitting on the “Happy Swing” from the same collection. To add the story to the card, I also included the cat from “Kitty Kit” stamp from Spring Fever 2016 collection and masked it on the old “stock” from Halloween & Autumn 2008 collection. Those little birds are from “Little Summer Birds” from Sea Breeze 2013 collection. I colored all the stamped images with distress ink.

I would like to enter this card to these challenges.
