Heffy Doodle Unicorns

This month I have the honour of showing you a couple of cards I’ve made for Heffy Doodle as a guest designer. First up is a card filled with unicorns and a rainbow. I chose to use all of the unicorns from the Fluffy Puffy Unicorns stamp set and coloured them up with my Copic markers. I decided to cut them all out by hand, but you can obviously save time by using the coordinating die.

To make the card I started out by using the stripy blue background from the Spring Breeze paper pad and then I die cut a white panel using one of the frame dies from the Deckled Paper Hugs die set. I die cut several circles to make a rainbow in various plain card stock colours. The unicorns were then placed on top, using foam tape, in rainbow colours from left to right.

The sentiment is from the Little Label Stamps set and I then put some sequins around it from the Sugar Plum Sparkle mix.

Another fun birthday card today made with the new Picket Fence Studios (this and all following links are affiliate links) release. I made the background using the new Birthday Dance Confetti background stamp. I think used the same Catherine Pooler inks to ink up a panel which I die cut using the new Hooray word die. This was die cut a few times and layered for dimension. The sentiment is from Animal Crackers A Little Note. A few sequins from the Karma embellishment jar finished off the card.

PFS Cake Everywhere

Picket Fence Studios (this and all following links are affiliate links) have a fun new release out today that is all about cake! It is definitely a birthday party release for me for sure and I’m going to start off with this month’s mixed media card because they are so much fun to make!

The great new stamp set with lots of cake is called Sugar and Calorie-free. You can get coordinating dies to go with! For the mixed media background I started by inking up the Birthday Dance Confetti background stamp in various colours before stamping up circles from the Wreath Building Centers and Foliage.

I’ve used Pink Tinsel paper glaze velvet on the Simple Plaid 6×8 stencil, using just parts of it. The sentiment is from Animal Crackers A Little Note whereas the sequins are from the Peach Bellini embellishment jar.

Spellbinders another Dragon

I’ve made another card with the fun new  Spellbinders (this and following links are affiliate links) Dancin’ Dragon! Unlike the dragon on the previous card, this one isn’t actually dancing. He is still happy, though! When I die cut the parts for the dragon I did all the parts in a few different colours so I could put together more than one. It is such a great way to quickly make cards in the future, if you just have a ready-made dragon laying in wait!

The base of the card has its shape from the largest of the Make a Wish Arch Labels dies. I used the second biggest on the previous card, but here I wanted a fun shape.

I stamped up one of the Sealed Sentiments in a matching colour and then I put some enamel dots around as well to bring in the greens a bit more.

Spellbinders Monster Birthday

So I’ve been keeping a little secret! I’ve been asked to make a few cards with Spellbinders (this and following links are affiliate links) products and my first card is for the January release. Here I’ve used various products from the Monster Birthday collection. The dragon is a fun one, he’s dancing! It is only his head that is glued properly so the rest of his body is swinging back and forth. I’ll try to make a reel of it later this week and link to it here so you can see.

The balloon die is from the fun new birthday balloon set. I’ve also used one of the arches from Make a Wish Arch Labels.

Making a die cut only card is something I very rarely do, but it was a lot of fun and you can expect to see more fun dragons!
