Joyful Mouse Smile with Anja Bytyqi

Posted by Anja Bytyqi | Jan 28, 2019 | Uncategorized

Happy Monday, Anja here with a sweet card using the Joyful Mouse and Cheery Greetings set. First, I created a colorful background using the Ink Smooshing technique and Distress Oxide Inks (Abandoned Coral, Seedless Preserves, Tattered Rose). Therefore, I pressed the ink pads on my non-stick craft mat and heavily spritzed the inks with water. I grabbed a piece of Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock and dipped it into the ink puddles. I dried my panel with a heat gun before adding each new layer. I repeated the process until I was happy with the result. I also added...

Hello there and happy wednesday! Franci here with you today with a love/friendship themed card feat the adorable “Otter Friends” set. First of all I die cut this pretty frame using the “Gallery Frame Die #2” out of white cardstock, I inked it up with some Picked Raspberry Distress Ink, I let it dry completely and then I stamped it with the “Falling Snow Background” stamp. I think these little reddish dots makes such a difference in style on this little frame 🙂 Then I stamped, colored and die cut this cute...

Today I am sharing a card for a new baby that was welcomed into a friend’s family recently. Baby Bear has an adorable bear image and other accents to make a cute baby scene.

I added a white frame to create my scene using the Skating Pond Scene Die and adding in elements like the trees and icy hill. To the top portion of my panel, I ink blended Broken China Distress Ink from dark to light and added in the die...

Birthday Skating Party with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Jan 16, 2019 | Uncategorized

Today I’m sharing a card I made for my niece’s birthday. She loves animals and pink, so that was the starting point for my card. I think the Skating Party set is perfect for winter birthdays. I decided to create an indoor skating party scene. I began by stamping my images with a copic friendly black ink, them colouring them in with a colour palette of turquoise, pink, and purple. I also stamped and coloured the string of lights from the Halloween Party stamp set. This stamp is perfect for year round cards. I’d recommend die cutting first and then...
