An Incredible Construction Themed Encouragement Card by Mimi!

August 3, 2023August 2, 2023 Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi friends! I cannot believe it’s already August! Today we have Mimi’s amazing slimline scene to share with you!

I love this card so much! Mimi built a construction site scene by combining images from the Love You Tons stamp set and the You Lift Me Up digi stamps.

I love how she used the big mansion digital image from You Lift Me Up to set the scene. She first printed that along with some other images from this digi set onto 80lb white cardstock and die cut a slimline panel using the large dotted frame from Dotted Borders Slimline pull tab die. I like how she printed and fussy cut the crane truck from a separate cardstock so that it can be placed on the foreground to create more depth!

I love the colored and die cut images from the Love You Tons stamp set which all coordinate seamlessly together with the digi stamps to tell a story!

To finish off the card, she added sentiments from both Love You Tons and Dream Big.

Thank you so much Mimi for your inspiration, your card is so full of positive energy!

A Super Fun Interactive Card With Mimi!

July 18, 2023July 17, 2023 Sharon Y.2 Comments

Hi friends! Today Mimi is back to share a cool interactive encouragement card with us! Her card features the latest Dream Big stamp set and coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.

This card is so clever! As you pull on the tab, the panoramic view of the runway changes to the sky, mimicking the airplane taking off!

Mimi first die cut two large frames using the Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangle Overlays. To prepare for the interactive element, she further die cut the them using the pull tab notch die from Dotted Borders Slimline Pull Tab die.

She stamped and die cut the large cockpit image from Dream Big, while masking the clouds and also trimming them off afterwards.

On one of the large cut panels, she cut an opening to fit the front window of the plane. She adhered the die cut Dream Big image to the panel and glued a piece of acetate behind it.

Then on a separate cardstock, she created a runway and sky scene, using the clouds from the Dream Big image. She then created and attached the pull tab mechanism, and adhered the second frame panel as the backing.

Check out this YouTube Shorts to see this interactive card in action! I hope you enjoy this inspiration!

Thank you so much Mimi! Your card is so awesome!

Hi friends! Everyone needs a little encouragement now and then! Giorgia is back to share this gorgeous card which will sure put a smile on your face!

Her card features the In Love With London digital stamp set. She started by arranging her scene using Photoshop. Then she colored the images using alcohol markers and color pencils.

Notice how she tried to portray the moment during which the rain is stopping and the sun is coming out – how lovely! The sentiment on here ties everything together.

I just love the color blending on this piece of art. The highlights and shadows are remarkable! Thank you so much Giorgia for sharing this wonderful inspiration!

Hope you all are having a wonderful week!

Candice created a fun mandala background using the Mandalas Bundle Stencils 360° and colors inspired by our Challenge #16 summer color palette!

I love how she mixed and match the stencils in the set to create these gorgeous overlays!

She cut the panel down into a square and adhered it to a pink card base. Next, she stamped and die-cut a sentiment from the Inseparable stamp set and adhered it to the center of the mandala.

She also added a few colorful jewel embellishments to finish off the card.
