Ouch! You're How Old?

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I have another Animation Card to share with you using the exclusive Simon Says Stamp "Animation" Clear Stamp set by Uchi's Designs which was part of their May 2017 Card Kit.

Last week I received the Animation Grid dies that I ordered from Uchi's Designs so I wanted to try one of them out. This allows you to die cut the grid out of colored cardstock and use matching colors to ink up the animation image.

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

For best results die cutting the animation grid I found was using the metal adaptor plate. I tried using my precision plate but for some reason that wouldn't cut the grid correctly whereas the other option did. I am loving the new animation grids, although I wish they were a little larger for the bigger animation images ... maybe one day.

For the inside of my card I stamped two more of the animation cacti images and also some birthday sentiments. I looked online for some suitable cacti sentiments, none of which I decided to use. I figured ouch was the best option to be able to make my card suitable for a birthday.

Years Tell Us Much

Hi everyone,

I have one more card to share which was created using the Spin Art Machine Toy to create the background. I kept this card fairly simple and just added a sentiment to the lower right hand corner of the card.

Hi everyone,

A couple of weeks ago a few stamping friends got together for our first stamp club for the year. Our project this time round was to play with our copic markers to create the Color Bleed Grid Technique.

For my card I used Copic markers B04; YG23; BG49 and BG34 to create the Grid. After creating the Color Bleed Grid I used black ink and a Wordsworth Flower stamp to create my card.

Stamps: Flower – Wordsworth Stamps; Sentiment – PTI

Paper: White; Blue
