Two Different Cards Using The Same Stamp Sets

Hello there and happy happy happy Friday!!! Lydia here with you today. It seems like this week would never end … the will it, won’t it snow and will the school get cancelled won’t matter tomorrow and I can stop worrying about it (yes I know I worry too much lol)

So I have two cards to share with you today....

The first card I have to share is a shaker...



I love the flowers on ‘The Big , The Bold Extras’ and I am so excited that W&W are bring out some new florals in this next release

I cut white panels using ME ‘Basic Set Dies’ (sorry OOS but you can now sign up to be emailed when its back in stock) and then created a shaker element with them using the largest circle from Wplus9 ‘Clear Cut Stackers’ for my shaker card window. Before adding the acetate to the window I stamped my sentiment through the die-cut circle into place on my back panel.

I stamped, coloured and fussy cut out two of the roses and then stamped the leaves behind them on the card layer before adding them with foam pads.

My next card is a lot different to my first…



Firstly I inked my card panel with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink, I added my ink always from the top and only added a little further down to create this ombre effect. I then took the tiny stamp from ‘The Big, The Bold Extras’ and stamped this repeatedly with gold ink, again I added more stamping to the top of my panel and sparingly at the bottom to add like a falling effect.

Then I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from ‘The Big, The Bold And You’ in black. To finish I added acouple of splashes of Gold Color Shine, some clear sequins and some black enamel dots.

An Unconventional Christmas Card

Hi there and happy Black Friday! Can you believe this is the last Friday in November? No?!?! Neither can I ! This year seems to have rushed past in a blur.

Today I'm sharing with you a Christmas card that is very unconventional.... and I think this would work great for some of the older people in the family or even someone who doesn't celebrate Christmas but you want them to know that you are thinking of them.

For my card layers I have used the to large frame dies from Mama Elephant 'Basics Set', I just love how easy it then is to design my card on the smaller panel.

The flowers are from Winnie & Walter 'Big, Bold Extras'  and the foliage is from Wplus9 'Under The Mistletoe' die set - both have which I have painted with watercolours for a softer effect. The 'jolly' die-cut is from Lil Inkers. 

Hope you a great weekend!

Big bold birthdays

 Hello.

If last weeks colouring week wasn't for you how about no colouring at all?

Just simple distress ink backgrounds.

For my first card i stamped the flowers from big bold extras in momento black ink then stamped again  on to post it notes for the masks. 

I then used distress inks and a blender tool.

With the masks still in place i spritzed some white dylusions ink just randomly.

Then stamped the sentiment in black archival ink

 For this card i stamped and didn't mask the flowers and just blended the inks for an ombre effect.

Simply added some drops of pink dylusions ink and a black banner with the sentiment.

Thanks for looking.

A Wedding Set

Hello and happy Friday! I'm so excited that it is the last day of school before the summer holidays :) can't wait to have my little boy with me for the summer.

Today I'm sharing with you a little card, tag and gift wrap combo, I just love that you can make everything match if you do it yourself. 

*I stamped a number of the rose images from Winnie & Walter 'The Big, The Bold Extras', coloured them using Copics and then fussy cut them out. 
*For the card I stamped and cut out the banner from the same set and added the words to the banner. Arranged the roses under the banner and glued to the card. The banner I used foam pads to attach. I then added some of the dots from the stamp set to create a spray affect.
*For the tag, I cut it using Lawn Fawn 'Tag you're It' and used some of the roses and added the sentiment from the Winnie & Walter stamp set.
*For the gift wrap I just stamped the rose image all over the paper in a light grey ink.

Thank you so much for popping by! Also if you missed it it's the July Release of Newton's Nook this week and there is also a blog hop today to celebrate a year of Newton's Nook Designs ... so lots of changes to win some of the new release.
