Today I have a quick CAS card for Less is More's Challenge #364, which was to create a music-inspired card. This one really was a challenge for me as I don't have many music themed stamps. Time to add a few things to the wishlist!
For the card, I put three inks from Altenew's Rock collection on my craft mat, then inked the Christmas angel stamp from the mat to create an ombre effect. I then added a few sparkles with a Stardust Gelly Roll pen to her bugle, crown, and the snow flakes trailing behind her.
I then stamped the sentiment from Papertrey Ink's Stylish Sentiments: Holiday set in the darkest gray color, and added a few sequins for a little extra sparkle.
I hope everyone is having a great week!
Today on the blog I'm sharing the card that I made for Papertrey Ink's anniversary sketch challenge. I used Betsy Veldman's inspiration sketch as the basis for my Valentine card.
This card has a lot of hearts! Starting with the 2010 Love Tags set, I stamped the four large hearts in various colors of pink PTI ink, followed by the striped hearts from the Inside & Out: Love set and the dotted outline heart from the Feather Finery set.
I then cut the edge of my panel with a scalloped edge die cut and used some scraps of pink paper to die cut the other two layers. The Love stamp from the 2010 Love Tags set was added along with a line of hearts using the smallest heart stamp in the Be Mine, Valentine set. I think I used every heart stamp I have on this one!
While hard to tell in the photo, I then clear embossed over the striped hearts to give them some added dimension. Lastly, I added the small Valentine sentiment to the middle of the hearts and popped it up with foam tape to make it really stand out.
Hello again!
For today's post, I'm sharing the card that I made for Papertrey Ink's Make it Monday Challenge #311: Using Different Types of Papers. I am really excited about this challenge as one of my crafting goals for this year is to use up the stacks of cardstock that I have in my craft room!
To start this challenge, I selected a piece of printed paper with a circular pattern, as I thought this would pair nicely with the Star Gazer and Star Gazer Additions stamp sets from Papertrey Ink. I die cut a background panel and then inked the edges with brown chalk ink to make the paper look more antique.
Using the Notched Star Banner Dies, I then cut the front panel from a piece of patterned paper with grid lines on it. I selected this paper as the color and grid lines complimented the lines of the background paper well. I then stamped the vintage star chart stamp from the Star Gazer Additions set on top. The banner background was cut from a piece of bronze shimmer cardstock.
Once assembled, I then stamped the Pisces stamp from the Star Gazer set, and embossed the Pisces constellation above it in bronze embossing powder to complete the front of the card.
Hello and welcome to my blog!
This week for the Less is More challenge #363, "Cute", I decided to make a Valentine's card. Using Papertrey Ink's Cat's Meow stamp set, I first stamped the cat outline on Gina K layering weight white cardstock. I then stamped the little heart from Papertrey Ink's Be Mine, Valentine set on the kitty and then colored him in using Prismacolor pencils. The stamped kitty was inspired by one of my cats, Sherlock!
One he was colored in, I added a line of light pink hearts and some gray lines underneath for accents. I then stamped the sentiment from Papertrey Ink's Be Mine, Valentine set in a gray ombre.
All of the links that I used are from Altenew.
Thanks for visiting!
