Let's Party

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a birthday card I created recently.

This card using The Greetery's Pinwheel Party Stencil with coordinating dies. In real life the pinks are a lot brighter than what is showing on the photo above.

I used the 4 coordinating stencils to create two pinwheel borders on white cardstock using Catherine Pooler ink in Be Mine and Garden Party. I then used the coordinating border die to die cut the stencilled border.

I adhered each of the panels onto a white rectangle panel and layered onto a bright pink top folded card.

I added the "Let's Party" sentiment which is also included in the die set to the centre of the card.

To finish off the front of the card I added clear gems to each of the flower centres.

I created a third stencilled border along the bottom of white rectangle panel and added this to the inside of the card.

To finish my card, I added the birthday sentiment to the centre.

Hey There, Birthday Girl!

Hi Crafty friends,

A couple of week's ago I participated in a white on white challenge for a challenge blog I participate in each week. I had ordered a couple of the new Spellbinders Doily dies to use for the challenge ... but as luck would have it the dies didn't arrive on time. Of course they arrived the following Monday ... typical isn't it when you want something for something specific. 

Anyway of course I wanted to play with one of the dies. As you can see I didn't go with the white on white theme, maybe I will keep that idea for another time. 

The die cuts three of the individual medallions at a time and you need to die cut 8 all up. I die cut the decorative layer from a guava cardstock and then used the solid die to die cut 4 panels from white glitter cardstock and 4 panels from silver cardstock. I linked the medallions together before gluing on the solid glitter pieces.

I layered the doily onto a large die cut circle before layering to a decorated top folding card.

The sentiment in the centre of the doily is from Taylored Expression's Simple Strips - Birthday stamp set and coordinating dies.

I added a birthday sentiment to the inside of the card using one of the sentiments from The Stamping Village's Happy Birthday stamp set. This sentiment was layered onto mega ovals.

Happy Birthday, Gorgeous

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another Slimline Card I created recently.

I am really enjoying making this style of card lately and having the Trinity Stamps Slimline die sets definitely helps to create the various layers.

For this card I die cut the top panel from white cardstock using the smaller rectangle included in Trinity Stamps Stitched Card Panels & Windows die set. I used Distress Oxide inks in Spun Sugar and Festive Berries. I then splattered both these inks over the background using a paintbrush. I also added some gold splatters over the background.

For the images I used stamps from The Ton's Flawless stamp set. 

For the inside of the card I added a "Happy Birthday" sentiment from The Stamping Village Happy Birthday stamps set. I then added The Ton's "May Your Day Be As Flawless As You" masking off the "r & makeup" which is on the send of the sentiment.

To finish off the inside of the card, I added a few more images from the stamp set.

It's Your Birthday

Hi Crafty Friends,

It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Being a brand new month it's time to introduce a new challenge hostess, which is ME!

Apparently tomorrow, 8th March is International Women's Day. So for our challenge this week we need to include an image of a woman on your card.

For my card today, I decided to create a Reveal Wheel Card using Lawn Fawn's Reveal Wheel die set along with the new add on set, Reveal Wheel Circle Add-On Frames: Balloon and Speech Bubble die set. I used the Speech Bubble die from this set, so that the woman on the card appeared to be saying whatever appeared in the Reveal Wheel window.

Here is a quick video to see my card in action.

For the background of my card I used MFT Stamps Number Jumble Background stamp which I embossed using white embossing powder onto white cardstock. I then applied Catherine Pooler inks in Samba; Sauna & Fiesta Blue to create a rainbow background.

I added the woman to the lower left hand corner of the card using the image from Ellen Hutson's Leading Ladies - Hot Mess Lady. I paper pieced her sweater using patterned paper.

The two presents used on this card are both from The Stamping Village's Happy Birthday Stamp set.  This stamp set includes images from 12 different companies, the two used here are Studio Katia & Dare 2B Artzy.

Here is a look at each of the 4 messages which are revealed when you turn the wheel at the side of the card.

The "Happy Birthday" & "Enjoy Your Day" are both from Lawn Fawn's Reveal Wheel Sentiments; "Best Wishes" from the Reveal Wheel Spring Sentiments and the "Yay!" from Lawn Fawn's Really High Five stamp set.

I used two more sentiments from The Stamping Village Happy Birthday stamp set for the inside of my card, this time using the one from Altenew and the complete image which is the present & Time To Celebrate sentiment from Dare 2B Artzy.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.
