Cute Card Thursday - CAS

Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'CAS'.

As always, we welcome your own interpretation.

I chose to use this adorable image from this month's release at Whimsy Stamps - An Unbreakable Bond.

I colored the image using my prismacolor pencils and fussy cut it out. I wanted to keep the card quite monochromatic but love the pop of red to link the 2 characters together.

I used the new Whimsy Stamps Puppy Paws background stamp to add some interest to the background panel. I just used Versamark Watermark ink - no heat embossing this time - and is gives you a lovely soft tone-on-tone look.

The sentiment is from the same 'Unbreakable Bond' stamp set. This was hand cut into a simple banner. This was all adhered onto a black cardstock panel and then a standard A2 white card base.

We are sponsored this week by Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez, a great prize as always. I hope to see you joining in the challenge this month.

Thanks for looking!

Stomping By

I'm up on the Crafty Doodle Chick blog today with some fun MFT products! As many of you know, MFT is one of my favorite crafty companies, and this older set is one of my favorite 'boy' stamp sets.

I used MFT's 'Delightful Dinosaurs' stamp set,  in stock at the

 Crafty Doodle Chick store.

I wanted a simple 'childlike' card and so colored the images using my zig pens for a bold look. I added some white detailing with a gel pen and then fussy cut them out.

I stamped the sentiment from the same 'Delightful Dinosaurs' set and used MFT's 'Stitched Sentiment Strips' dies to cut out the banner. I 'popped' this banner up on foam dots over the images and wording.

I used MFT's 'Hello' die-namic for the larger wording - cutting it out 3 times and stacking them on top of each other for added dimension.

A fun and super simple card!

Without further ado, let me share another one of the projects I created with this amazing kit.

 I stamped the train image onto the ivory cardstock in the kit, using versa mark watermark ink. I then heat embossed this with white embossing powder.

I added some of the Stormy Sky distress crayon over the center of the image and using a water brush pen to move the ink over the image. This was not stamped on watercolor paper, so I tried not to go over and over the image with water. I then wiped over the embossing with a paper towel to remove any color that may be on the image.

I stamped the image from the set on top of the panel once the watercoloring had dried fully.

I added this panel to some of the navy blue shimmer cardstock in the kit.

I finished the card off with the jute and copper colored brads. This was then adhered to a side folding A2 card using the ivory cardstock in the kit.

Now, if you want to get your hands on this awesome kit, be sure to place your order by June 25th.  You don’t want to miss this one, I promise!

Cute Card Thursday - Circles

Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'Circles'. 
As always, we welcome your own interpretation. 

I used this adorable stamp from Whimsy Stamps new release  - 'Mazarine Butterfly Fairy'.

I love the pattern on her dress and though it would be perfect inspiration for this challenge. I decided to use the turquoise/yellow color combination - something new to me - coloring the image with my prismacolor pencils.

I then used Whimsy Stamps 'Card Builder Windows' die set to cut out the white panel - I love the stitching detail you get with this.

I used Whimsy Stamps 'Envelope Edgers' die to cut out the turquoise polka dot paper from Sunny Studios. I also used the card builder windows die to add the stitching around the edge of the panel to match the white panel.

I finished the card off with some yellow bakers twine and big yellow button. This was all adhered onto a standard A2 white card base.

We are sponsored this week by Di's Digi Stamps, a great prize as always! 

Hope you can join us!

Thanks for looking.

Thank You from Lawn Fawn

I'm up on the Crafty Doodle Chick blog today with some fun Lawn Fawn products! Lawn Fawn is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands right now.

I used Lawn Fawn's 'Little Flowers' die set, soon to be back in stock at the
 Crafty Doodle Chick store.

I die cut the flowers and grass borders using Lawn Fawn's 'Really Rainbow' 6x6 paper pad.

I added some white detailing using a white gel pen.

I used a cloud stencil and distress ink to create the background and then stamped the sentiment using Lawn Fawn's 'Reveal Wheel Sentiments' stamp set.

A few enamel hearts finished the card off!

 

  

I am also entering this card into the current Lawnfawnatics challenge #31 - Flowers, Floral and Foliage.

Without further ado, let me share another one of the projects I created with this amazing kit.

I made a side folding A2 card using the kraft cardstock in the kit.

 I used the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment stamp from the set with Versamark Watermark ink on some kraft cardstock. I didn't add clear embossing powder this time, as i wanted a softer, more subtle look to the background. I love the tone-on-tone effect you get when you just use the watermark ink to create your own background. 

I cut this panel at an angle and adhered it to the copper shimmer cardstock from the kit. I added a thin strip to the base too. I added some of the copper colored brads from the kit and then adhered this onto a brown textured cardstock panel.

I stamped the Happy birthday sentiment onto some dark brown cardstock from the kit and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I then hand cut this into a banner shape. I felt it needed a border around it, but didn't want to use the copper cardstock again. I decided to use the tissue paper that the kit came wrapped in!!! Never throw anything away! This worked perfectly! I popped this banner up on foam tape to finish the card off.

Now, if you want to get your hands on this awesome kit, be sure to place your order by June 25th.  You don’t want to miss this one, I promise!
