Dogs life.

This 6x6 card is made using Splash Crafts "Pet Set" USB. 


I layered the card with silver mirror card, then added a 5¾" square of blue checked card from Hunkydory Crafts. I then printed off the "Jack Russell Jumping" decoupage sheet, cut it out, layered it up using 1mm foam pads and added a matt of silver mirror card before sticking it to my base card. I finished it off with some silver "Diamond sparkles" gems from Hunkydory crafts.

Hip, Hop, Hooray!

6x6" pull-tab, jumping bunny card made using Time for Tea Designs "Hip Hop Hooray" stamp set, prism ink pads and coloured using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends.


I made this simple pull tab card by cutting a 5¾" square of smooth white card and then cutting a slim rectangle for the pull-tab slider, I stuck it to the base card using foam pads so it can be slid up and down. I then blended the grass using "Rainforest Green" prism pad, the sky is "Blue Lagoon" and I used T4TD's blending brushes. I stamped the rabbits, trampoline (twice), coloured them in and fussy cut them out, cutting the second trampoline to look like a hoop. I finished by stamping the sentiment and die-cut it using a rectangle die.


I hope you like this card. Thank you for stopping by,
Lynn.

Cheeky Monkey

 A6 swinging monkey card made using Hunkydory Crafts For the love of stamps "Cheeky Monkey" stamp set, prism ink pads and coloured with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends.


I started by covering the A6 car in Hobbycraft's Primary card in green, then I cut a piece of smooth white card ¼" smaller than the base card, blended it in using Prism "Rainforest Green" and "Canary Yellow" and stamped the large and small leaves in "Rainforest Green" all over it. I then stamped the bushes, large leaves, monkeys and vine using Versafine black ink, coloured them all in using Tri-Blends and fussy cut them out but leaving about ½" of white on the top of the vine. I then placed them onto the card so I knew where to fix the vine and used a brad to fasten the top of the vine to the card. I stuck everything down using liquid glue, but foam pads on the top bushes to hide the brad and still give it room to swing. 


Thank you for taking the time to pop by

Mermazing Birthday

6x6" card made using Time for Tea Designs "Swimming by to say Hi" and "Mermazing" stamp sets, Prism ink pads, Posca paint pen and Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends.

I blended the background using "Purple Velvet" and "Blue Lagoon" ink pads, lightly sprinkled with water and drew on some bubbles using my Posca pen. I die-cut a long thin rectangle and covered it with the bubble stamp using "Blue Lagoon" ink pads, then I die-cut a circle, stamped the mermaid from "Swimming by to say Hi", coloured her in using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends, used the Posca for the dots and I used "Purple Velvet" to blend around the edge. I stamped the "Have a Mermazing Birthday" sentiment in "Purple Velvet", dotted it a bit with the Posca pen, die-cut it using a rectangle die and blended the edge using the same colour ink pad. I then stamped the wavy line stamp in "Purple Velvet", blended over it so it has a nice pale colour inside the lines, dotted it with the Posca pen and cut it out. To finish I added two blue iridescent pearls to the top corner.

CAS Bees

A clean and simple card made using Time for Tea Designs "Bee Happy" Stamp set, "Stitched Hexagon" layering dies, "Bee Hive" stencil, Prism ink pads and coloured with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends.


First I cut 3 Yellow hexagons using the 3rd biggest die and Hobbycraft Primary yellow card, Then I used the next smallest die and cut 3 smooth white hexagons, I blended them using Prism "Canary Yellow" and then using the "Bee Hive" stencil I blended "Orange Zest" to make the pattern. I stamped the bees and honey pot, coloured them in and fussy cut them out. Then I stamped and embossed the "Bee Happy" sentiment using clear embossing powder on smooth white card and then blended the background in "Midnight Black" so it looks like it's white embossed. I finished by adding 3 yellow gemstones for a bit of bling.
