World Traveller, Going Places and Large Number Framelts Card with GDP #034

This the second card I have been asked to make for a Blind volunteers at my Husband's work. Once again I have concentrated on texture to enhance the card. I have used this weeks Global Design Project Sketch Challenge #034 for the layout of this card.

To start the card I embossed a piece of Lost Lagoon card stock with the World Traveller embossing folder on the Big Shot. Whilst I had the Big Shot I also cut the numbers out using the Large Number Frameits with Mossy Meadow Paper and using the Project Life Cards and Labels Framelits I cut a piece of the Going Places Paper. Next I took my Whisper White Ink and Stampin' Sponge and sponged the central area of the Lost Lagoon embossed piece. I then adhered the Going Places die cut piece to the card. I took the numbers and adhered them to the card using double dimentionals so the recipient can feel around the numbers. I adhered the card front to a Thick Whisper White card base. As the two finishing touches for this card I added some silver sequins with Glue Dots and Fine Tip Glue Pen to the surface of the numbers to make them smooth to the touch, both of these add great texture to the card.

Flower Patch with Flower Fair and Large Number Framelits WWYS #62

I have been commissioned to make some very special anniversary cards for Volunteers at my husband work Vision Australia. This card was made for a lovely lady Judy who I actually used to work with for 15 years service. I have used the What Will You Stamp #62 Challenge Blog as a starter for the card by using the Flower Patch stamp set.

As Judy is partially sighted I have played with texture, dimension and colour contrast on this card. I started with choosing the Brights Collection of Colours. Next I die cut all the flower and leaf shapes from the Flower Fair Framelits in Very Vanilla card stock and stamped them with Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Bermuda Inks using the matching Flower Patch stamp set. I arranged the flowers and leaves into a Rich Razzleberry card stock piece embossed with the Softly Falling embossing folder both flat and on Stampin' Dimensionals. I created the numbers by using the Large Number Framelit to cut "15" from our Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (which is rough) and adhered using double layered Dimensionals so they can more easily be felt. The card from was adhered to a Thick Whisper White card base. To finish the card I added Fine tip Glue pen to the leaves to add shine and a smooth texture.

Rose Wonder Stamps and Rose Garden Thinlits Faux Embossing Birthday Card

I am very excited it is only just a few day till the 2016 Occasions Catalogue and here is on of my favourite bundles which saves you 15% from the upcoming Occasions Catalogue that starts on January 5th 2016.

To make this card I started by die cutting the flower and leaf shapes from the Rose Garden Thinlits using the Big Shot and Precision Plate to give a beautiful clean cut on our Whisper White card stock. I then used our NEW Big Shot dies Brush and Foam Pad to remove all the fiddly internal parts of the die. Next I arranged and glued down the flower and leaf pieces on a Thick Whisper White Card Base. It is OK if the pieces over lap the edge as they can be easily trimmed off with your Paper Snips. This creates your Faux Embossing Background easily.  Next I stamped the frame and a sentiment from the matching Rose Wonder stamp set using Pool Party and Blushing Bride inks and cut the frame using the Rose Garden Thinlits and Big Shot. To add a finishing touch I took a length of our Pool Party Glitter ribbon and adhered it to the card.

Holly Jolly Greetings, Christmas Greeting Thinlits and Perfect Pines Framelits Christmas Card

I made this very simple christmas card for some of my team members recently at our end of year get together. I will also teaching this card this coming Sunday 13th December 

This card is a real cinch to make.  

I took the Medium Perfect Pine tree Thinlit and cut it from our Red Glimmer Paper using the Big Shot and then cut it again from Mossy Meadow cardstock with the additional die on the inside that makes the circle cut outs that allows the glimmer paper to sparkle through like the perfect decorations. With one of these Big Shot passes I also cut the Merry from the Christmas Greeting Thinlit in Cherry Cobbler and adhered it using the Fine Tip Glue Pen.  For the finishing touches I added a Gold Foil paper star punched from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack and stamped Christmas in Mossy Meadow from the Holly Jolly Greeting stamp set.

This will be one of the cards I will be making at my Last Minute Christmas Card Class this Sunday 13th at 1pm. So if you are on the Central Coast NSW and would like to come along please contact me on 0421074703 to reserve your place.

Lovely as a Tree and Oh, What Fun Christmas Card

I am in a glittery mess after making this card today. I spilled 1/2 a pot of glitter on my table cleaning up. 

I have used Lovely as a Tree and Oh, what Fun stamp sets. I sponged the background then flicked on some water drops and removed to create the effect. And finally used the Fine Tip Glue Pen to create dots and then covered the glue covered in silver glitter. 

I will sparkle for a week but It is worth it.
