I’ve made another card using the fun heart die by Mama Elephant. It is called Mod Heart. I’ve cut out the stripes for the heart in various colours and for this one I chose softer more feminine colours. It’s clued onto the card on the right hand side with foam tape. The sentiment is by Norsk Stempelblad, it means “fill life and the days with love” and it is stamped right onto the card base.
My take on the cute Beary Christmas To You (this and all links are affiliate links) stamp from this month’s Picket Fence Studios release is that I made the bear into a polar bear!
I’ve stamped the sentiment twice. It is called Another Joyeux Noel. Once on the background and then also on the coloured image. This is because the coloured image was die cut after I coloured it, but I didn’t want the text stamp to disappear behind it. I used only the Christmas part of the sentiment and used a text stamp from the Sweet Holiday set which I embossed in white onto black to go with. The card was finished off with a few sequins from The Winter Blues mix.
The text stamp is stamped right onto the card base whereas the coloured image is die cut and put on foam tape to get some dimension. I coloured up the background behind him in a deeper shade of blue to make him stand out more.
Here is a close-up of the polar bear because he’s cute!
I’m not done sharing summer cards yet! The cute summer release from Purple Onion Designs is still being used. I’ve used Thaddeus as a barkeeper. With him being masked behind the stand it’s hard to see he’s really making a sandcastle, so that’s how he ended up as a barkeeper instead! It is the Tiki Hut and Tiki Torch that is being used as a bar and I think Mimi is very happy with her drink! The big aloha sentiment is from the Seaside sentiment set. I opted for darker, bright colours on the Tiki Hut to contrast with the sunrise in the background.
It’s been a while since I posted up a card using a Lili of the Valley stamp, but that doesn’t mean I’ve not been making cards! The next month I will be sharing a lot of cards I’ve made the past half a year, which I have, for various reasons, not had time to post up. I am looking forward to showing them all!
Here I’ve made a baby card. The actual finished baby card has the name of the baby in white die cut letters in the bottom right corner of the card. I’ve used background paper by MFT Stamps and the adorable stamp is by Lili of the Valley. It is called Washing Line.
I’ve made another card using Kai from the summer release at Purple Onion Designs. This time I’ve gone with more feminine colours and added some bright pinks. I’ve coloured up Kai with my Copics and then made a mask so I could use Distress Oxides around. Then I gave the panel a border and stamped up one of the stamps from the new sentiment set (I love this set!).
