Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes

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

I made another card with no stamping or coloring!!! I love these die sets from Whimsy Stamps - Slimline Scenic Countryside and Tree Assortment.

I used Trinity Stamps Envelope Builder die to cut the frame from Kraft cardstock.

I hand cut the snow hills from white cardstock and adhered then onto a standard slimline Kraft card base.

I added the trees and houses to the scene, added the scallop frame, and then added some stickles to represent the snow.

I stamped the sentiment from the Whimsy Stamps Winter Sports clear stamp set and die cut the banner using Whimsy Stamps Quick Strips dies.

Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes

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

I decided to do something a little different for this card - and actually made a card with NO stamping or coloring!

I die cut the white frame using Whimsy Stamps Slimline Scenic Countryside die and set this aside.

I used the Whimsy Stamps Bookmark and Tags dies to die cut the green and red tags from Whimsy Stamps Cosmic papers (now retired).

I used Whimsy Stamps Bold ABC dies to cut the word merry, and also die cut the Christmas word from an old Whimsy Stamps die set.

I added some bakers twine to string along the top of the frame and tied each tag onto the string.

I popped up the frame on foam tape and adhered the card together, onto a standard black slimline card base.

MFT Sketch #520 - Sending you lots of JOY

It's so much fun to create just to join in a challenge! I loved this week's sketch #520 from My Favorite Things.

I flipped the sketch a little to accommodate the sentiment.

I used the Filled with Joy die set to create the snowman and die cut the letter. The papers I used are from the Very Merry 6x6 paper pad.

I added a subtle snowflake background on the white panel using Hug in a Mug stamp set and clear embossing powder.

I stamped the sentiment from Filled with Joy stamp set (now retired) and heat embossed it with white embossing powder,

This panel was all adhered onto a standard A2 white card base.

It's so much fun to create just to join in a challenge! I loved this week's sketch #519 from My Favorite Things.

I used the Wine Glass Window and Frame die-namic for the main focus of this card. I decided to give the glass a holiday feel, so used the snowman elements from the Filled with Joy die-namics set.

I added some white gel pen detailing to the pieces to make them pop.

I stamped the sentiment using the Spirited Sentiments stamp (now retired). I used Versamark watermark ink and heat embossed it with extra fine white embossing powder onto a black cardstock strip.

MFT Sketch #518 - Peace, Love & Paws

It's so much fun to create just to join in a challenge! I loved this week's sketch #518 from My Favorite Things and paired it with Scrapbook & Cards Recipe Card challenge from Laura Bassen.

I used the Peace, Love, and Paws stamp set for this card. I stamped the images and colored it in with my Tri-Blend Spectrum Noir pens. I then fussy cut the images out.

I copied the current sketch #518, switching it up just a little:

I used the Candy Land 6x6 papers (now retired) to add colorful strips of paper (as per the recipe challenge!), copying the sketch also.

I changed the circle on the sketch and used the MFT Stitched Dome STAX (now retired). I die cut it from white cardstock and used mowed lawn, twisted citron and broken china distress oxides to ink blend the background. I also used the MFT grassy edges stencil to ink blend some grass. Recipe challenge - add ink blending - check!

I stamped the sentiment from the Peace, Love and Paws stamp set, using watermark ink on black cardstock. I then heat embossed it with white embossing powder - another item on the recipe card! I then used MFT Skinny Strips dies to cut out the sentiment.

I popped up the images with foam dots for added dimension to the card (last item on the recipe card - check!).

This panel was all adhered onto a standard A2 top folding white card base.

I love how this card turned out - the sketch and recipe worked perfectly together.

Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes

Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'Anything Goes'. 

As always, we welcome your own interpretation. 

I used the adorable Wee Stamps digi - Sarah - from Whimsy Stamps for this card. I colored the image using Spectrum Noir Tri-blend markers.

I cut the image panel into a 4" x 4" square and adhered it onto a coordinating colored cardstock panel 1/8" larger.

I used papers from an older Whimsy Stamps paper collection, to create a grid background - a great way to use up smaller pieces of cardstock. I adhered these onto a a brown cardstock panel measuring 5.25" x 5.25" and added the image panel on top. I cut some small banners and added some snowflakes from my stash.

I added the panel onto a square white card base measuring 5.5" x 5.5", and finished off the card with some white gel pen detailing and stickles.

Whimsy Stamps Dragon Christmas Cheer

I love all of Dustin Pike's stamps for Whimsy Stamps - particularly any that include dragons!

I used the awesome Dragon Christmas Cheer stamp set for this card.

 

This card was inspired by a card from the recent Whimsy Stamps Virtual Retreat. I changed up the colors from the original design...I always have to change up the cards to show the versatility of the stamp sets.

We were given the image and frame ready stamped and cut to color in. I used my Spectrum Noir Tri-blend markers to color the dragon in. The stamped frame is from Whimsy Stamps Fadoodles Frames stamp set, and the coordinating die is the Fadoodles Frames Scalloped Rectangles. The sentiment is from the Whimsy Stamps Penguin Holiday Squares stamp set.

I added some purple cardstock onto a standard A2 black card base, and then adhered the image panel on top.

A very simple card design that really pops!

Thanks for looking.

Cute Card Thursday - Sentimental

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

I decided to make a super cute slimline card this week, with a simple sentiment.

I started this card by creating the background panel. I stamped the snowflakes from Whimsy Stamps Snow Flurry stamp set and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I then used Speckled Egg distress oxide to blend over the top.

I die cut the white cardstock frame using Whimsy Stamps Slimline Pillow die.

I stamped the images using Whimsy Stamps Bundled Up stamp set. I colored them in and added some white gel pen detailing. I then fussy cut them out.

I stamped the sentiment onto acetate and carefully heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I adhered this behind the middle window.

I hand cut some white glitter cardstock from my stash to create the snowbanks, adhered this on the ink blended background, and then adhered the white frame on top.

I added the images on top and then adhered the panel onto a standard 3.5" x 8.5" slimline card base.

Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes

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

I used the fun Slimline Hill House die and Oh What Fun stamp set (now retired) from Whimsy Stamps to create this scene.

This die was made with the intention if using it as a Halloween House - but I don't do Halloween and wanted to show you how versatile this die could be. I die cut the house using grey cardstock and added some cream cardstock behind each window and door. I added some VersaMark Watermark ink to the tops of the roofs, fence and path, and heat embossed it with some white puff embossing powder from Hero Arts.

I cut a white cardstock panel measuring 4" x 5.25" and masked off the two sides to create a vertical panel on the front. I used Whimsy Stamps Snow Flurry background stamp and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I then blended Faded Jeans, Broken China and Speckled distress oxides over the top. I used a kitchen towel to wipe off the excess ink from the heat embossing.

I stamped the images from the Oh What Fun stamp set and colored them using my Spectrum Noir Triangle-blend markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

I stamped the sentiment using Faded Jeans distress oxide and used the same ink to create the thin strip of cardstock to add being the banner. I die cut the banner using Whimsy Stamps Quick Strips die set.

This was adhered onto a standard A2 white card base. I popped up the Santa and presents on foam dots.
