AAA Birthday Challenge #35 - Under the Sea

Happy Monday!

It’s time for a new challenge at the AAA Birthday Blog. This time we challenge you to create a birthday card with an 'Under the sea' theme.

I first stamped the fish from MFT with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copic markers. I also used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Then I used masking tape to create a border for my background.
I first stamped the bubble background from Whimsy Stamps with Versamark and heat set it with white embossing powder. Then I blended Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink and removed the masking tape.

Finally I stamped the sentiment from SSS and heat set it with white embossing powder. I used foam tape to adhere the sentiment and the fish to the card to create some dimension.

CAS(E) this Sketch #395

Hi crafty friends!

I'm popping in with a Christmas card I created for CAS(E) this Sketch #395 at the last moment.

I first colored a piece of cardstock with Ruby Red Altenew ink and die cut the poinsettia from SSS.
Then I used Shadow Creek Altenew ink to color another piece of cardstock and die cut several pine needles from Poppystamps.

On my card base I used purple tape and a circle die to create a mask and stamped the Christmas background from MFT with Silver Stone Altenew ink.
I also stamped the sentiment from Altenew with Industrial Diamond Altenew ink.

I removed the purple tape and circle mask and arranged the pine needles to create the wreath but it was not perfectly round. To solve this, I first made a frame from 2 circle dies and then adhered the pine needles onto the frame.

I also adhered the poinsettia and added a rhinestone on top op it.

Another Christmas Card in September

Happy Friday!

Here I have another Christmas in September card I want to share with you.

Lately I ordered the beautiful Sparkling Snowflake die from Uniko which was still lying here on my desk screaming to be used ;-)

I was inspired by the colors of the Color Hues challenge and this is the card I made.

First I die cut the snowflake 2 times and colored them with 2 different Altenew ink colors. As the name of the die is Sparkling Snowflake I wanted to add a little sparkle to my card so I added some Cosmic Shimmer Paste on top of the turquoise snowflake.
I used foam tape to adhere these 2 snowflakes to the card base.

Next I stamped the sentiment from the Festive Sentiments set with Sapphire Altenew ink and colored the edges of the strip with the same ink.

Finally I wanted to add some paint splatters to the card but I didn't want use a paint brush because I wanted to have control over these splatters. Instead I used the Distressed Patterns from MFT and stamped them with Turquoise Altenew ink.

Butterfly card

Happy Friday!

Here I have a new card to share with you today!

I first stamped the tiny sentiments from Carlijn Design with Versamark and heat set this with white embossing powder. Then I blended Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio and used the Stitched square & circles die from Penny Black to die cut the circle.

Next I stamped the butterfly from MFT and used the coordinating die to cut it out.

I used the same ink, Ocean Waves from Altenew, to color the butterflies in the background.

Finally I used the Wonky Stitched Rectangle die to cut out the card front. I adhered the circle and added the butterfly with foam squares.

The sentiment is heat set with white embossing powder and also adhered with foam squares for dimension.

A hug especially for you

Hi all!

I made this card on request for my sister. She wants to send some cards to friends and family during this quarantine period.

The flower from MFT was actually a leftover found in my stash. It was gold embossed and colored with Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink.
I created the border with the same gold embossing powder and did the same with the sentiment which is from Marianne Design. It means 'A hug especially for you' in Dutch.

Finally I embossed the background with a Next Level Gemstone Embossing Folder and assembled the card. For the flower I used foam tape to create some dimension.

Smile It's Your Birthday

Happy Saturday!

My card for today is based on the Circle theme from Addicted to CAS and the colors from CAS Colours & Sketches #362.

In our kitchen we have a magnetic board with smiley face emoji magnets.
That's where I found my inspiration for the circle part. 
I searched the internet for smiley faces and found 2 smileys I was happy with. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut them out.
On the photo it looks like a red smiley but IRL it's more like a dark pink color.

The background is stamped with Halftone Circles from Altenew and Memento Summer Sky.
The sentiment is from MFT and is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.

Finally I adhered the 2 smiley faces with foam tape for some dimension.
