One Layer Valentines Card ft. Cool Cat and Quilted Heart Background Stamps

Hi Everyone, today I am back a love themed card, perfect for Valentines Day!  I've had these cute little Cool Cat stamps by MFT for ages and I have finally got around to using them!
I don't have the co-ordinating dies for this stamp set so it is perfect for one layer cards and masking techniques!

I firstly cut and stamped out all the masks I needed on to Hunkydory masking paper - I like this masking paper because you stamp on one side and then remove the backing paper when you are ready to use your mask...not too fiddly! 

 I then began stamping out my images onto to my card panel which was a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of copic friendly cardstock (250gsm) and ensured I worked forwards (closest images first) to backwards (stamped the images furthest away last)

I covered the wall background with a light layer of spun sugar distress ink and then used the Quilted Heart Background stamp from Simon Says stamp to stamp out the detail on the wall...I used spun sugar again for this giving a tone on tone background.

I used some more distress inks to shade the baseboards and carpet/flooring.

The images were coloured with my copic markers (colours listed below).

For my sentiment I used a 'love' scripty word die cut out several times from coloured cardstock with the top layer coloured with my copic markers for an ombre look.

I coated the 'love' word with Nuvo shimmer pen and a layer of glossy accents :)

I hope you liked this card!  If you'd like to see how I made it with a video tutorial just click the image below!

Mermaid Shaker Card using stamps featuring Time for Tea Designs!

Happy Friday crafty friends!  Today I'm super excited to be sharing this shaker card using Time for Tea Designs stamps and dies.  I was thrilled to be contacted by owner, Joanna to see if I wanted to designs some cards using her stamps and here is my first creation!

For the background of my card I used some alcohol inks to create a watery ethereal background.  The frame for my shaker was created using the rectangle die from the 'Best Fishes Banner and Border Dies' which I lightly inked with wilted violet distress ink.

 


I filled my shaker with a selection of sequins from my stash....I love using a variety of shapes and sizes in my shaker cards!

I used copic markers to colour my images and I'ved listed all of the shades I used down below!
For the foiled dots on the mermaids tail I used a quickie glue pen and left it to dry/go tacky for 5/10 mins.  I then rubbed some rose gold foil over the top of the tacky dots which left behind small dots of foil and created a super shimmery effect...I love this technique!

Please join me again soon as I will have more cards featuring mermaid themes by Time for Tea Designs - be sure to find links to their products in the list below....go check the full range out NOW by clicking here!

Super Cute Glittery 'Hugs & Kisses' card featuring Little Monkey Agenda stamps


Hello and welcome back to my blog!  Today I'm sharing this super cute card which could be a Valentine's card but could also be used for anything depending on the sentiment you use.  I've used a 'hugs & kisses' sentiment because I'm not too sure who this card will be sent to yet.

I love using nuvo glimmer paste especially the moonstone colour....I have a spare tub in my draw as I know I'll run out at some point this year!



I've used 'Tropical Leaves' stencil by Newtons Nook with these cute little monkey stamps by Mama Elephant, I think they pair well together.  I made the inked up background back in the summer but hadn't got around to making a card with it.....with Valentine's Day approaching I thought it would be perfect to kick off some 'love' themed cards.
