Hi everyone, Thanks for stopping by.

Today I am Sharing with you a card I made for a baby shower  for a dear friend.

I really love this stamp and i wanted to keep the look soft. I have coloured the stamped image with watercolours and as I wanted to keep thins soft i have left a lot of white space.

To add depth and texture I have Embossed the background with an embossing folder seeing spots.

The sweet wishes wording has been embossed with a soft pink embossing enamel. all the elements have been layered up and some are set on foam tape.

Image stamp: wild rose studio Bella with Mum

words: Penny black sweet wishes

die cut shapes :  Avery Elle Sweet scallops

thanks for having a look!

Don't forget to stop into the store and have a look at these goodie as well as much more, but remember you need to pre-order them.

I started with a 6x6 base which i then sponged with dye ink to make the sky background.

I then stamped Ramona and her teddy by Stamping Bella on to Neenah Heavy Weight Cardstock with memento ink.  I then coloured up my image with my promarkers, and here came the touch and go, the blue part was originally pink, but when I had finished the image I realised how hideous the pink looked with the rest of the colours so I coloured over it with blue markers.  Luckily it turned out ok :)

I then fussy cut the image and put aside.

Next I cut my Memory Box Puffy Clouds and Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillsides.  I inked the edges on the hills to give them some definition.

I then stuck everything down on the inked card base and drew a frame in with white pen.

Then I decided it needed a sentiment so I embossed Happy Birthday with Lawn Fawn Big Scripty Words.

I hope you get a little inspiration to make a scene of your own on a card.

Hello Fellow Crafters.

Today I would like to share my latest card with you.

The items used were:

Wild Rose Studio Stamps - Bella with daisy

Spellbinders - Labels Eighteen

Leane Creatief Dies - Border (I doubled)/ Corner Curve

The **Elizabeth crafts Happy Birthday word die, a stunning die, very easy to use positive and negative.  Also using ** Cottage Cutz Stitched ovals.

Step 1: Die cut out the centre of the shaker card with die cut of choice. On underside add the acetate for the shaker bits to go under. OPTIONAL: on top put a frame cut from same size oval and next one up and mount with double sided mounting tape, cut to size and pop it up on the outside. see below.

Step 2 Completed front layer of card, ready with acetate, frame + embossed front sheet.

Step 3: Add double sided tape to back of *inky glossy card piece for word die *(more details on it on my blog post). Step 4: After cutting out the word die add the sheet of photo paper to snippet of white card. Carefully lift off the positive of the word die to expose the intact negative of the die on lower layer. I have cut another word die cut out of white craft foam (added double sided tape on the back of it also), for the happy birthday die. Lay the positive layer on top of foam cut so it pops up nicely on the card.

Step 5: I decided I needed to match the colours of the die cut with the background for shaker, so really mixed media here! Some torn up tissue paper, glued on scrap of card, coloured with similar toned sprays.

Step 6: Here are all the shaker elements in the inside of the foam layer, it was die cut with inside size die and then adhered with tape and non tacky glue to the back. I say non-tacky cos tacky glue can stick to sequins etc.

Step 7. Add seal on back of shaker, I used some anti static powder on back of the acetate, before adding sequins etc. The seal on back of foam needs to be complete before turning it over.

Completed card 1, also used embossing folder by *Taylored Expressions called Snow fall, *available from Bec.- although not on site. I actually embossed it from both ends to extend the embossing.

Card 2: You probably can't see it but used *Spellbinder Pierced Rectangles die set to cut out the photo paper. Just used the pierced section to give a pierced edge.

Hi Karen here, today I am popping in to share with you my new card.

I have been playing again with the Blue Butterfly Digi Stamps from the store.  I have been wanting to enlarge one of the girls faces for a while now.  The image I choose is from the Once Upon a Time Collection and is called Roses.  You can find her and her friends here.

She has been coloured with Copics and Prisma Pencils and was such fun to colour.  I have also used Card Embellishment Kit No. 8 and she has been printed onto Copic Paper (Bec has a similar product in store Neenah Cardstock) and  then die cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities die - Fleur De Lis Squares.  The sentiment is a freebie and available here from the store blog.

The stocktake sale is still on but only for a limited time so drop by the store for all your crafty needs.

Until next time, Happy Crafting.
