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.

Think Spring Bunnies

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 card is also decorated with paper flowers to represent spring.

That’s a brief start for today. I will come back tomorrow with my new project for new Addicted to Stamps challenge. Thank you for stopping by.

Pastel Christmas

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

Christmas Non Traditional Colours

To match with the theme, I decided to create this card pastel colours. I cut the card base from Cheery Lynn Designs Heart Edge Square dies to match with Tilda’s scarf. 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.

The image is Magnolia “Tilda with Heart Ribbon Scarf” stamp from a special collection. I colored the stamped image with distress ink in pink & blue color combo. I also added snowflake sequins around Tilda like falling snow.

I made poinsettia flowers from Doohickey Poinsettia die cuts. Fern die cuts are from Magnolia vintage box 4.

I decorated the card with pastel pink ribbon and rhinestone snowflake button.

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.

I would like to enter this card to these challenges.

• As You Like It Challenge – Rubber or Digis. I prefer rubber stamp because I can stamp on good quality thick watercolour paper (which may be difficult to run through printer). Then I can cut the image out and it’s still steady enough to use on any parts of the project.

Star Shaped Pencil Box

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

Girly

I have created the star shaped pencil box using Lawn Fawn Puffy Stars dies. I cut a stripe of cardboard and attached along the bottom edges of star die cut to form a box. Then, I decorated the box with pattern paper, trim, die cut, paper flowers and other embellishments in sweet pastel colors to match the theme.

The image is Magnolia “Star Balloon Tilda” stamp from Le Cirque 2018 collection. I colored the stamped image with distress ink in the same color combo with the box.

I will put this box on my craft table to hold some markers and pens.
