Caithlin with present

Clean and simple really is a favourite of mine, so I thought I’d show you the card I made yesterday. Again it is inspired by Elin. I used a Mo’s Digital Pencil stamp and I have a small cluster of things in the corner. That is so Elin, right?

The adorable image is called Caitlin. Mo’s having a retirement sale and that is one of the stamps I picked up! I’ve coloured it in with copics and added some liquid pearls all around. The text sentiment is by MFT Stamps and I used small bits of washi tape. The paper is by Lawn Fawn and I LOVE it!

And from the side.

LLLC: Jaws Because CAS

This week I got to see loads of cards by the super talented Elin! She’s a master at clean and simple cards and I thought it is about time I make a card that is properly inspired by her. It was about time I made another clean and simple card anyway!

So, a cluster in a corner, loads of open space (although with waves and not white). I even used blue card stock for the base instead of white!

We’re still showing off the new La-La Land Crafts release. I decided to go with one of my favourites, the whale from the Jaws Because clear stamp set. The background is also made with one of the new stamps, the Seas the Day background stamp, which I used Memento Ink on in the Summer Sky colour.

Here is a photo straight from the front of the card.

And a photo of it laying down, with a close-up of the colouring and the cluster.

James Bear with Snowman

Here is my second Christmas card for May. As the first one was a CAS card, I’ve made this one a layered one. I guess I should get started on my Christmas cards for June soon!

I’ve used another Lili of the Valley stamp for this. The papers are mostly Maja Design and the chipboard is from Make it Crafty.

 

Copics used: (background) B32, (black) W5, W7, W9, (white) C0, C1, C3, (bear) E41, E42, E43, E44, (red) R22, R24, R27, R59, (green) YG61, YG63, YG67

LLLC: My Anchor

I’ve also made a card where I have used only the stamps provided with the My Anchor background stamp set from the NEW RELEASE at La-La Land Crafts. The big background stamp has been stamped with embossing ink onto light blue card stock and then I’ve used clear embossing powder on it. I have then stamped on the smaller fish with two different shades of blue before stamping the anchor onto the card base also and coloured it in with a few copics.

The embossed borders and the card base have been separated by the ropes die, and I’ve added some pink fish dies for a bit of contrast. The sentiment is also from this background stamp set.

LLLC: Funky Squares

Ok, I admit it, I’ve used my favourite colours a lot for this NEW RELEASE at La-La Land Crafts. Soooo, it is time to bring in the other colours, I think. How about… a rainbow?!

Here I have used both of the stencils that were included in the set at the same time. I simply used some masking tape to tape them onto the card base so they wouldn’t move around too much. I then used various different distress ink colours going from a red and all through the rainbow over to purple.

To make Summer Dress Molli match (with what I think is a super cool background!) I gave her a two-tone dress going from purple to yellow highlights. To keep with the funky squares theme I used the fishing net die as well. And to add a bit more of the purple and yellow, I decided to make the banners in those colours in bright shades.
