Sweet Wishes - YNS Challenge #57

Hi my sweet friends ! The best things in life is always sweet. Don't you think? I love to bake muffins and cupcakes and definitely love eating them too 😋. Your Next Stamp - Jessica with cupcake - stamp set is perfect and this is what I've came up with.

I was inspired by YNS Sketch and Color challenge #57.

I stamped and colored the images using Distress Ink onto Canson XL watercolor card stock and used YNS Stitched square (third largest) die to cut out top part of Jessica. The other 2 cupcakes were fuzzy cut out using scissors.

Cut a small strip of wood grain pattern paper and white heat embossed the sentiments.

Added glossy accents onto the heart and cherries for a little bit of dimension and gloss.

Starting with a prune color card stock, I used YNS stitched rectangle largest die to cut out my base. Then, embossed polka dots using Taylored Expressions embossing folder. I assemble my card according to the sketch layout, added foam tape to the sentiment strip and 2 cupcakes at the right for extra dimension and interest. And, my card is finished. 😄

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a sweet day !!

xoxo,

Sweet Succulents Love - MFT Sketch Challenge Entry

Hello ! Today's card was inspired by MFT sketch challenge 318. I've used MFT Sweet Succulents stampset along with weathered embossing folder by Taylored Expressions to make this card. I love how this turned out. It's organic and rather realistic. Read on if you want to know how I make this card.

I started off by stamping some succulent images onto watercolor cardstock using MFT Black Licorice Hybrid Ink. Then I watercolored them using my favorite distress ink markers and layered the colors to get a more realistic look before I fuzzy cut them all out. 

For the card base, I've used Neenah Solar White 80lbs card stock and ink blended the background using MFT Premium Dye Ink color - In the Buff. Then, I embossed it using Taylored Expressions embossing folder design - Weathered which gave it a more organic look. I then cut down my embossed card stock 3/4 inch smaller on the side and adhered while aligning towards the left side of a dark brown card stock which is A2 in size. This creates my card base.

For the sentiments, I white heat embossed onto some random wood grain pattern paper and stick it near the bottom of my card base. Then, I glued my succulent images down and added some dimension by using foam tapes on two succulents. 

Finally, I embellished the card using 3pcs of 6mm clear droplets by pretty pink posh and added some glitter onto the succulents using Spectrum Noir clear glitter pen. I also added glossy accents to the 2 front succulents for more dimension. Then, I'm done.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a nice day !

Day 29. You make me so HAPPY

Hello my crafty friends ! Today I'm taking on YourNextStamp Sketch and Color challenge #53 with this cute slider card using YourNextStamp stampset and dies. 

I've used the cute puppy from the stamp set Love and Smiles to create this card. I've stamped the image on Neenah Solar white card stock using Memento tuxedo black ink and colored it using my Copic sketch markers. Then, I fuzzy cut the image out leaving a white border around. 

For the slider part, I've used the Slider/Spinner Die from YNS to cut out the slider and disc and glue them onto the puppy using multi medium matte.

For the bottom black and red panel, I stick them on using double sided adhesive tape. The Top slider panel using 4 layers of foam tape.

Heat embossed using WOW opaque white embossing powder the sentiment "You make me so hoppy" which is in the Love and Smile stampset on a black card stock.

Added some Glossy Accents onto balloons.

I have to add some glitter using my ZIG wink of stella clear glitter pen onto the hearts.

And here is the finished card for today. Below is a video of this card in action.

Thank you for stopping by. Hope you have fun and do leave me a comment. I would love to hear from you.

XOXO
