A Mini Slimline Egyptian Desert Scene By Stephanie!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi guys! We’ve had a long weekend over here and the week seems to be passing by quickly! Today Stephanie is back with an Egyptian themed mini slimline card!

All these cute images are from the Mysterious Egypt stamp set and die cut using its coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts. This mini slimline panel was cut using the largest rectangle die from Cinematic Shadow Box stand-alone die.

These faux stitch detailed wavy landscapes were created using dies from the Desert Landscape Scene Builder Dies & Stencil set. This Dies & Stencil set also has some other innovative and functional uses, do check out this intro video if you haven’t yet!

I love how Stephanie stamped out a bunch of the images twice to make the scene even fuller and more interesting! I also love all the little details like how the cute mummy is peeking out its coffin!

Thank you so much Stephanie for sharing this fun and charming card!

Thank you for stopping by, have a great evening!

A Mini Slimline Interactive Card With Gladys!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hello and Happy Friday everyone! Today Gladys is back to share a super adorable Mini-Slimline Interactive card featuring our new stamp set Beautiful Africa and its coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.

Gladys used one of the dies from Cinematic Shadow Box to die cut her panel. I love the gorgeous background which was blended using a combination of Distress Oxide Inks including Blueprint Sketch, Dusty Concord, Worn Lipstick and Scattered Straw.

She also took the pull tab die from Dotted Borders Slimline Pull Tab – Stand-Alone Die to create the pull tab mechanism. I love how she made the cute lion appear from behind the jeep with the pull tab – such a brilliant idea!

The sentiment “It’s time to soak up the sun” from Beautiful Africa is the perfect match for this charming little scene! Thank you so much Gladys for sharing this delightful interactive card!

I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration, and thank you for stopping by!

An Adorable Beaver Birthday Card by Allison!

Hello friends, I’m glad you stopped by! Today we have Allison sharing her delightful birthday card with us! This card is just the cutest ever!

Allison used the adorable beaver from Bond With Nature Canada as the main character. I love how she used the log bundle image from the set to build the beaver’s dam!

The coloring job done on these images is so incredible! I love how the beige background compliments the colors she used.

I also love how she modified the images and added the green leaves to make the dam look so structured and neat! The layering really gives a three dimensional look.

She finished off the card with the “Happy birthday” sentiment in a speech bubble and the white heat embossed punny sentiment on contrasting black cardstock at the bottom.

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful card with us Allison!

A Charming Birthday Card by Stephanie!

Hello crafty friends! Hope you all are having a wonderful day! Stephanie is back today to share a super colorful birthday card!

Stephanie used our I Made You a Cake stand-alone die to create this gorgeous looking centre piece.

She used a bunch of cardstock scraps cut in different widths to create this eye catching rainbow hue background. I love how she kept her 2-tier cake mostly white which makes it really pops from the background.

The yellow polka dots were made using a tiny hole puncher. The sentiment was from our Bond With Nature Canada stamp set which she white heat embossed onto the icing piece.

This card is clean and simple, yet so vibrant and charming. Thank you so much for sharing this with us Stephanie!

3 steps to create a quick and simple card

New Video – 3 Simple Steps to Create the Perfect Encouragement Card

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Hope you had a good weekend. Today I have a new video up on our YouTube Channel. In this video, I outlined 3 Simple Steps that I often use to create a quick and simple card.

My card panels were cut out using dies from the Cross Stitched and Dots Large Rectangle Overlays and the Cross Stitched and Dots Small Rectangle Overlays.

First I created my background using the Hello Sunshine Stencils 360°TM combined with the Stencils 360°TM tool. I used Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet and Shaded Lilac for my ink blending. You’ll notice that instead of sticking to one side of my stencil, I flipped my stencil to the other side for inking as well. I really like the added depth that this little trick creates.

Then I took a large sentiment from the Words From the Heart (Chapter 1) stamp set and silver heat embossed it to my card. And finally, I added gems along the inner diameter of the circular patterns for some extra sparkle!

Check out my video over on our YouTube Channel for my detailed tutorial.

Thank you so much for stopping by, have a wonderful day!
