A Beautiful Mandala Design by Candice!

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.

A Charming Summer Palette Inspired Encouragement Card with Candice!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve last posted on the blog. I have been super busy preparing for our Fall/Winter 2021 New Release and I cannot wait to show you what we have to offer!

The weather over here in Vancouver is getting a little cooler lately, and looks like Fall is just around the corner! But just before autumn, Candice is back to share this fun encouragement card inspired by the summer colour palette of our current Challenge happening over on our Challenge Blog!

Candice used the Hearts Bouquet Stencils 360°™ and created this fun spiral effect by masking off half the hearts and blending in alternating light and dark purple inks.

She stamped and Copic-coloured the cute little bunny and tree from My BFF stamp set, and then cut them out with the coordinating dies.

Lastly, she white heat embossed the sentiment onto a black strip and adhered everything down to the card!

Thank you Candice for sharing this lovely creation!

A Cool Galaxy Themed Shaker Card with Jo!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi crafty friends! Jo is back to share a fun galaxy themed shaker card with us today!

She first blended her background using Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks. She then splattered a touch of metallic paint to give it the shimmery look.

Then with our Stencils 360°TM, she blended Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink on The Orbit Stencils 360°TM, with a turning interval of 45°. I love the look of the array of dark planets, super cool!

This white heat embossed fun scripty sentiment from the Words From the Heart (Chapter 1) stamp set is the perfect match for this card! She die cut the middle portion of the card using the hexagon die from the coordinating die set and created the shaker window.

The the accessory images on here came from the My BFF stamp set and the Lucky Break stamp set. This little boy jumping in joy is super cute!

Watch her video tutorial below or over on our YouTube Channel!

Thanks Jo for your super adorable inspiration!

A Dazzling Good Luck Card with Ashley E.

Hello everyone! Before we go to today’s card, I’d like to give a warm reminder that our Spring 2020 new release is coming up real soon! Stay tuned for some sneak peeks starting on 22 Mar. We can’t wait to show you what we have in store!

Today Ashley is back to share a vibrant and sparkly card featuring the Lucky Break stamp set!

She stamped out three of the cute bear slot machines from the set and colored them with Copic markers. She used a bunch of the accessory images to go on the wheels of the machines. The colour combinations are so lovely.

This card is a one layer card. She masked-off the three slot machines and blended the background with Distress Oxides in Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers.

I love the splatter of gold acrylic paint on top. The sentiment “May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor” was stamped with jet black ink at the bottom of the card. I love the bold sparkly letters “LUCKY” which she added to finish off her card.

Thank you Ashley! Your good luck card is super cheerful and bright!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Beautiful Rainbow Hue Friendship Card by Ashley Y.!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi Guys! Welcome back to our blog! Today, Ashley’s back to share with us her beautiful rainbow hue friendship card.

The main characters on this card, the two cute cheerleaders with pom-poms are from the Happy Track and Field (Chapter 2) stamp set. Ashley coloured them with Copic markers and die-cut them using the coordinating Happy Track and Field (Chapter 2) Penguin Perfect Cuts.

The way Ashley formed the rainbow on her card is very unique. A strip of felt was adhered to the edge of a ruler, and a variety of rainbow-coloured alcohol pearl inks were dabbed onto the foam. The ruler was held as a handle to drag the foam along a piece of Yupo paper in an arched fashion, creating a rainbow of alcohol pearl ink colours on the paper.

I love how Ashley die-cut a circle of white cardstock and trimmed the bottom of it to align it with the bottom fo the card panel. The black sentiment “I’ll always be your cheerleader” on the white background pops up so nicely.

She finished off her card with some matching colours sequins. Check out Ashley’s video on our YouTube Channel to see how she created this card!

Thank you so much Ashley for your inspiration today! Thanks for stopping by, have a superb day!
