Multi Metallics

I worked on multiple cards this weekend, all inspired by this video by Jennifer McGuire. I started out with 4 different metallic cardstocks but only 3 turned out well enough to use.  

For the striated silver cardstock I used the Altenew Floating Foliage 3D embossing folder and Catherine Pooler Seafoam ink. The sentiment was made using The Ton Script Word dies.  The frame is from the Altenew Mix and Match Frames die set.  

For the Navy shimmer cardstock, I used the Altenew Charming Mandala 3D embossing folder and Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink.  The sentiment is from an old Happy Birthday die from my stash.  For the other components I used a Leafy Branch background die and Crystal Frames die from Memory Box.  

For the silver cardstock I used the Typewriter 3D Texture Fades Sizzix embossing folder and Soft Granite ink from Hero Arts.  The sentiment is from The Ton Script Word dies.  The frame was made using a double stitched frame set from my stash.  

So here we go.  Three more birthday cards for my stash.  I will admit the first is my favorite, what is yours?

Hydrangea Highlight

Image
The second card I made today was specifically for the  Altenew March 2022 Inspiration Challenge , although I used Colorado Craft Company stamp for it. I had pulled out their Big Hydrangea stamp set to use a sentiment from it so just used the hydrangea part for this. Here is the inspiration picture from Altenew. I went with the colors for this card, as close as I could get, and did a sort of color blocking effect. I’ve seen it before on other cards and thought it looked nice and easy. I started by stamping the hydrangea in black ink on a 4-1/4” x 6” piece of white cardstock. After masking off the edges with low tack tape (I actually used blue painters tape) I masked off the bottom third of the center and blended on Distress Oxide Peeled Paint, masked off the middle portion and used DO Mustard Seed, and used DO Milled Lavender on the top. Using a script Happy Birthday die, I cut it 3 times in white and once in black. After gluing all 3 white pieces together I glued the black piece on th

Candy Cane Deluxe

Image
For the  Simon Says: Food and/or Drink challenge , one of the examples had a candy cane , so I thought I’d use some too. I just got a pine tree frame die & it would be perfect for that. I could make it look like a tree with candy canes & an ornament. Here’s how it turned out: I used my Cricut to cut the candy canes, ornament, some extra pine sprigs, & the Merry Christmas. The frame was die cut, and I used a scrap of green print cardstock for the backing. I embossed the Merry Christmas in black, then put everything together on a green card base. Thanks for stopping by!

Father’s Day 2022

Image
For Father’s Day this year I pretty much copied a card from   Norene Borys for Altenew . It involved some techniques I haven’t used before and I learned a lot. It actually took me 3 tries to get them to turn out good enough to send. Here’s mine: I haven’t done much with masking before, so this was a learning experience. It wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be.  I’m not much of an artist, so the extra leaves & the watercoloring aren’t as good as I’d like, and I didn’t add any sketching on the bird itself. It’s a cute stamp, and overall I’m happy with how it finally turned out.  I’ll be entering this in the  Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Simon Says: It’s Up In The Air , the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says: Little Critter s, and the Stamping Sensations June Challenge- ****Make it Masculine**** .
