Here's to celebrating you!

Happy Saturday!

I couldn't resist making a quick card based on this week's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and play along!

I first die cut the leafy square from SSS and colored the leaves with Copic markers. I stacked them 3 times for some dimension.

Then I added 3 strips of washi tape from Karin Joan and stamped the sentiment from SSS with Versafine Onyx Black.

Missees By Karin Joan - Birthday Banner

Hello everyone!

Karin Joan, the designer of the Missees collection, turnes 48 today!
The ladies of her Design Team decided to give her a birthday banner featuring her Missees products. So we each created one piece that can be put together afterwards.

I first created the triangle shape and adhered 2 different pieces of patterned paper (MPPKJ01).

I then used a stitched circle die to die cut the circle, stamped the cute little animal (from STAMPKJ10) with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Copic markers.

Next I used some floral paper elements from A5STANSBLOKKJ03 and arranged them arround the circle. I used foam tape for the circle as well as for the paper elements to create some dimension.

Finally I stamped the sentiment from STAMPKJ09 and heat set it with gold embossing powder. I cut it out and also used foam tape for dimension.

Rachel Vass Designs - Happy Mail

Hi crafty friends,

The card I want to share with you today features the Happy Mail digital stamp from the February release from Rachel Vass Designs.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to print and cut the digital image and colored it with Copic markers.
I also used the print and cut function for the sentiment from the same Happy Mail release.

I wanted to give my card a CAS look so for the background I used the Salvaged Brick background stencil and partially ink blended it with Aged Mahogany Distress Oxide ink.

Finally I adhered the image and sentiment with foam tape to create some dimension.

Hi all!

Today I want to show you a slimline card I made with Missees products from Karin Joan.
I wanted a clean and simple look with not too much of embelishments.

I first used a slimline die from Carlijn Design and used a brown paper from the Paper Pad (PPKJ03). I matted it on a black piece of cardstock and adhered it all together to the card base.

Then I choose some Missees from the Paper Elements (A5STANSBLOKKJ03) and used a Black Memento marker to go around the edges for a clean and crisp look.

Finally I adhered the Missees to my card with foam tape as well as the sentiment (from the same Paper Elements) to create some dimension.
