Happy Birthday to You - AAA Cards Game #76

Hello everyone,

We are back with Game #76 - Masculine Cards.  See end of post for details. 

This is always something I struggle with when making cards.  I was to keep adding sparkles and glitter.  

I love fall and I really love making cards with fall colours. I took the latest SSS card kit and used the leaves and berries in the set as well as the two little ink cubes. I used first and second generation stamping to give it some interest.  I cut out a small piece, about 1.5 inches and adhered it to my card base.

Originally I was trying to do in directly on to my card base. I masked it off and everything but the ink was so wet that it went right through the post it tape and made a mess of the card so I cut it out and added it to another card base

 

I took the sentiment from the SSS Stamptember release "You Matter" and stamped the happy birthday to with intense black ink and die cut the You out of the burnt orange cards stock that also came in the kit.  

We hope you'll join us with our challenge.  We love seeing what you created.

Feel Better Soon - Card and Video

Hello everyone,

I had this idea in my head but wasn't sure how it was going to turn out so I turned on the camera.

I started out with the archival ink cubes that came in the SSS Nuts About You October card kit and added a bit of ink blending to the middle of an A2 sized card. Then I cut out a frame from the MFT single stitched frame dies and cut it out from white card stock and popped it up on foam tape to the card base.

I die cut the banner from the SSS basic banner dies and did some partial die cutting to have the flag ends and I used my mini MISTI to place and stamp the sentiment.  I popped it up on foam tape to the card base.

I stamped and colouring in the sweet elephant from SSS with SSS intense black and my copics.  I added the dot details to his nose and the top of his head.  When you watch the video, you'll notice that this was not included as it was an afterthought. I popped him up on foam tape as well and added him to the card.  I took the Nuvo Crystal drops from the SSS October card kit as they matched the Ranger ink perfectly, and added them to the card.  

I can't thank you all enough for your support with my YouTube channel and I am almost at 200 subscribers!  As soon as I hit that mark I'll have a small giveaway.  Stay tuned!

Thanks so much for stopping by, see you again soon.

Lawnscaping Challenge #122 - Watercolouring

Hello everyone,

I'm back with a card for the latest Lawnscaping Challenge - Watercolouring.  I love this medium as it is so much fun and so forgiving.  

I watercolored the front panel with spun sugar distress ink and then sprayed it with water to give it those awesome droplets.  I used the stitched oval dies and cut out the panel and popped it up on the cards base and on top of pink embroidery floss.

I used the Lawn Fawn Baahumbug stamp set and I fussy cut the sheep, coloured it in with my copics and added the liquid appliqué.  I bought the liquid appliqué a while ago and I've been going nuts with it for just about everything white.

Love how the texture came out on this sweet little sheep. There are two ways you can use this, one is to simply let it dry and it will dry with dimension and shine and the other is to hit it with a heat gun (tool).  When you heat it up, that's where you get the puffiness and it is SO much fun to watch grow.

I coloured in the little heart with my copics and added some Wink of Stella, because I just have to and added it to the sheep. I then added the sentiment to a banner from Plus 9 that I cut out of white card stock and added it to the oval.

I added some sequins from Lucy's Cards and added some glitter enamel dots to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

Day 8 - Christmas Card Series

Hello everyone,

I'm back with Day 8 of my Holiday Card Series.

I can't get over how fast his card came together.  And if I had more of these stickers I would most definitely mass produce these for Christmas. 

I used the brush stroke from the Brush Grunge Alpha set from Honey Bee Stamps and I stamped it with Maliblue and Fog SSS inks, added a puffy sticker from the November SSS card kit and added some of the adhesive-backed sequins that came with the kit as well as some Pretty Pink Post sweetness.   I stamped the sentiment in Smoke ink and called it done!

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon.
