Post 368: Simple Layered Christmas Card (mandalas)

Hi folks!

I'd like to share a Simple Layered Christmas Card. This was part of my DT work for Bob n Betty. All the details are here. I wanted to use decoupage papers in cardmaking because the mandala designs were so pretty, I thought it would be so cool to use them for non-traditional cards all year round. I used very few supplies for these as I wanted to process to be very simple. I made a set of 4, which I will share one by one. Hope you like them :) These cards are approx 4 by 8 inches in size. I used a die cut phrase for the sentiment (creating a shadow effect by adhering a black die cut a little off centre underneath, to make it more visible) and a few butterflies stamped, heat embossed in white and fussy cut out of vellum as an embellishment. 

List of Supplies:

Cutplorations Peace Love Joy Phrase Die
Mudra Stamp- Butterfly Layers
Bob n Betty Decoupage Papers- Imperial Collection
Ranger's Super Fine White Embossing Powder
Ranger's Heat tool
Versamark Watermark Mini pad
White & red cardstock
Tim Holtz Paper Distressor

Here is a photo of the card:

I am playing along with the following challenges:

Cutplorations December Challenge (was inspired by the christmas theme in the photo)

Post 176: Floral Birthday Card

Hi Friends :)

I'd like to share a floral birthday card today. 

This is inspired by the design of the beautiful mother's day card made by Heather Hoffman for Winnie & Walter's Rerun 19. I loved the idea of using a floral pattern paper and having the sentiment in the middle. Also, the addition of the twine. I tweaked the card design a bit and also made it into a birthday card because I usually need a lot of birthday cards :) I've added the sentiment on a vellum die cut and colored the die cut with some distress oxide. Embellished the card with dew droplets in light pink color. 

List of Supplies:

Winnie & Walter Cutaways- Wishes (die cut)
Winnie & Walter Stamp- The Big, the bold and the happy (birthday)
Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Ovals Die
DCWV 12 by 12 papers - Teenage Dream Stack
Versafine Onyx Black Mini Inkpad
Distress Oxide- Broken China (to color the die cut wishes)
Iris White and black cardstock 250 gsm
Twine
Tombow Mono Multi Glue
Glossy Accents
Dew Drops (Orchid)- The Robin's Nest
Vellum

Here is a picture of the card:

I am playing along with the following challenges:

W & W Rerun No. 19- Parentville (I didn't have these stamps so I was inspired by Heather's Mother's day card in the use of the floral background, the use of twine and the central placement of the sentiments and the blue color of the sentiment)

DCWV May Stackaholic Challenge (facebook)
Time Out Challenge #84- (friends)
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge- Anything Goes

Thanks for your time.

Post 155: Spring Inspired Birthday Card 1

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share with you a spring inspired birthday card today. I really love the color combination so I created a few cards inspired by the same color combo. This is a landscape style A2 size card. I was inspired by this beautiful card made by the awesome Lydia Evans for W& W's Rerun No. 18 Challenge. I loved the design of her card and how the background was stamped and the sentiment was in the center so I did my take on the same. 

Synopsis of the Process:

The card panel is Canson Watercolor Paper which I die cut with a wonky stitched die. Then stamped various leaves, flower and bird images from 2 stamp sets, I mixed and matched the inks I had for the colors. Then I watercolored the leaves with zig markers and an aqua brush. For the sentiment, I die cut a snippet of black cardstock and also a snippet of vellum with rectangle stitched dies. Then heat embossed the birthday wishes greeting on the black die cut. Then I mounted the black die cut onto the vellum with foam tape and stuck the vellum to the card panel. Finally, adhered the panel to the soft purple card base. 

List of Supplies:

1. Winnie & Walter Stamp Set- A tree for all seasons

2. Winnie & Walter Stamp Set- In Bloom: Renee's Leaves

3. Cutplorations Crazy Running Stitch Rectangle Die 

4. Gina Marie Designs Stiched Rectangle Dies

5. Canson Montval Watercolor paper

Post 124: Floral Birthday Card

Hi!!

I'm so glad you've taken the time to visit me here. I truly appreciate it :) 

Today I'd like to share a floral birthday card in celebration of spring. This is a side folding A2 size card with a fancy border edge. Hues of 3 colors (besides the neutrals) have been used here: greens, blues and yellows. 

Synopsis of the Process:

The Mudra mini bunch stamp and butterfly stamp was stamped in versamark watermark ink onto snippets of vellum and then heat embossed with white embossing powder. The images were colored with zig and camlin brush pens and then fussy cut. The card base was prepared by punching the doily lace pattern on the front of it using a martha stewart edge punch. The sentiment was stamped from the mudra brushed stamp set using archival ink and then the vellum flowers were arranged and then adhered onto the card front with mono liquid glue. 3 mint green colored sequins were adhered, the butterfly was also pasted near the sentiment to balance out the design and in the end some black paint splatters were made. 

List of Supplies:

1. Mudra Stamps- Mini bunch

2. Mudra Stamps- Brushed

3. Mudra Stamps - Miscellaneous stamps in the grab bag- butterfly 
4. Iris Cardstock 250 gsm

5. Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers

13. Tombow mono multi liquid glue 

14. Black paint
