Graciellie Design - You Matter

Happy Saturday!

For my today's card I was inspired by the Fusion challenge and a card from Hannelie Bester. You can find her card here.

I used the You matter digital stamp from Graciellie Design and played with it in the Silhouette Studio. I used the print and cut function and colored it with Copic markers.

Then I made a mask and created the black background with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Versamark and White embossing powder.

Finally I stamped the sentiment from Altenew and adhered everything with foam tape to create some dimension.

Congrats

Hi all!

I have a new card to share with you today!

I started with masking off the bottom part of the card and the part on top.
Next I stamped the triangle background with Versafine Onyx Black.

Then I die cut the letters from both black and gold cardstock and mixed them to create the sentiment.

I matted my card on a piece of light colored craft paper and added some gold leftover pieces from the die cut letters.

I'll always love you

Hi all!

Although Valentine's Day is already passed, I'm still in a romantic mood so I created another Valentine's Day card.


This time I used a digital stamp from Graciellie Design.
I used my Silhouette Cameo to print and cut the image and colored it with Copic markers.
Next I added some black splatters and adhered the heart to the card base with foam tape.

Hello Sunshine

Happy Sunday!

While my daughter is at a birthday party and my husband is working at a trade show I have the whole afternoon for myself. So where else as my craft room would I be ;-)

For my card I masked off a part of my card and stamped several flowers from the Hello Sunshine stamp set from Altenew.
I used copic markers to color the flowers and leaves and I used glitter washi tape in a coordinating color at the edges.
Finally I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set with Midnight Violet Altenew ink.

Altenew Spring Daisy

Happy Saturday!

This morning I spent some time with my daughter in my craft room. While she was playing with the Nuvo drops I made this CAS flower card.


I stamped the flower with Memento Tuxedo black and Fresh Lemon Altenew ink. I used the Y35 Copic marker to add some highlights to the flower. The leaves are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and Mountain Pine Altenew ink. Here I added some highlights with the YG03 Copic marker.

For the background I used Altenew's Rustic Linen background stamp and Vanilla Cream Altenew ink.


The sentiment is stamped with Versafine Onyx black and everything is adhered with foam squares.

AAA Birthday Challenge #10 - Cute

Welcome to challenge #10 from AAA Birthday! This month the theme is to create a cute card.

As our Guest Designer, we have Rachelle. I encourage you to check out her blog and leave her some crafty love!

I hope you'll join us! Please visit AAA Birthday for the details on how to play along and to view the gorgeous cards created by my fab teamies.




This is the card I created for this challenge.
I sometimes struggle making cute and adorable cards so this challenge was the perfect opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and stretch my skills.


Gerda Steiner Designs - Llama Tell You

A few months ago, I think it was on Black Friday, I bought this cute Llama Tell You stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs. It reminded me of the time when we had some alpacas and a llama in our backyard a few years ago.
Here are a few pictures of them:

Unfortunately we had to sell them because my youngest sister and here husband were going to build a house next to us and there wasn't enough space for them anymore.

So for my card I first made a rectangle mask and did some ink blending with Antique Linen and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.

Next I stamped the cacti and the llama with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored them with Copic Markers and cut them out by hand.

Finally I adhered them to the card base and stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink.
