VINTAGE LOVE & HAPPINESS

Gorgeous steampunk stamp from Free Vintage Stamps. Distressed with Tim Holtz distressing ink, then adhered glass beads on top. This gives a lovely dimension to the image. The designer paper is K and Company.

  

I heat embossed  blue vellum  and die cut the butterflies. The bird and cage were also die cut and heat embossed. Lace, some tulle, a heart clip, pearls and pearl flourish were the finishing touches to the card

Another Year

 Gus is the best!!,  and he doesen't mix words. This cheeky character and sentiment from Bugaboo Stamps is perfect for my OLDER brothers birthday. We have an ongoing rivalry between each other on our  birthdays, all in good fun of course.

Merry Christmas Skelekinz!

WOW! It's been a while since I posted anything here.  Life just seems to get in the way of my 

cardmaking, 

Anyway my first few entries in the blogging world were  of cards made using Bugaboo stamps so I thought it would be fitting to use Bugaboo stamp to start up again. Actually the first digital stamps I owned were from Bugaboo and I was hooked immediately.

This cute Christmas image is from the Skelekenz collection. I love the fact that even though it is a Christmas digi it also kind of fits  Halloween as well. I colored it using copics and embellished with  drywall tape that I heat embossed in silver. I then added some corrogated cardboard, ribbon and black brads to finish it off.

 

Sentiment is from Stampin 

Up. 

 Thank you for the visit!

Grown Up

I have seen a number of these pop up book cards on Pinterest and I have been meaning to make one for a while now.  I was in need of a card in a hurry and was pleasantly surprised with how uncomplicaated it was to make.  You never know until you try.

 The cut files (vintage Gentleman set) are from Silhouettte online store. I used the offset feature to create a perfect shadow.  I just love how using a shadow  can make the image pop.

Designer paper is from Authentique paper pack. Embellished with i-rock studs.

Best Wishes Every Day

 I colored this sweet Saturated Canary digi image"Pups and Me" using copic markers. Then I used Tim Holtz distress ink around the image using a mask to keep the eyelet edge white. My faux stitching on the edge is far from perfect. ( I think I need new glasses) You can't see it well but the designer paper  "Boho Chic" is full of glitter & sheen so I kept my embellishments simple with bow and flowers.
