Winter Wonderland – CIC #584 Reminder

by with One Comment Cupcake InspirationsSimon HurleySimon Says Stamp

Hello friends! Today is the beginning of a new challenge over on the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge blog! The theme for challenge #584 is Winter Wonderland.

I created my card featuring the Simon Hurley Winter Wonderland Stamp Set (what a perfect match!).

I first created my background by ink-blending Simon Says Stamp Royal ink and splattering with Liquitex Titanium White Ink for a snowy appearance.

Once the background was done, I stamped a sentiment and image using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink. I fussy-cut the image and then adhered it to the background using Bearly Art Glue.

To finish, I added two matching mats to add interest.

Thanks for reading. Catch ya next time!

Hello friends! This is your reminder of the current challenge happening on the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge blog! The theme for challenge #582 is “Home Sweet Home.”

I used Simon Hurley’s Winter Wonderland Stamp Set to create this card.

After stamping a house image using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink on my card panel, I coloured the house and snow using the following Ohuhu and Copic alcohol markers:

Ohuhus:

  • Reds: R1, R2, R8
  • Greens: G2, G7, GY43
  • Greys: BG3

Copics:

  • Greys: C1, C3
  • Browns: E29, E33, E37, E49

Once done colouring, I created a mask for the house and ink blended a snowy sky using Broken China Distress Oxide splattered with Liquitex Titanium White Acrylic Ink.

To finish off, I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set and adhered my elements together using Bearly Art Glue.

Hello friends! Today is the beginning of a new challenge over on the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge blog! The theme for challenge #578 is plaid – the perfect theme for the start of the fall season!

Cute Mother’s Day Card! – RAM Stamps

by with No Comment Distress OxideLawn FawnRAM StampsSimon Hurley

Hi friends, and Happy Mother’s Day! I know that Mother’s Day can be a difficult day for many, so I wish love and peace to everyone today.

Today’s card is a Mother’s Day card I made for my own amazing mother featuring the Canadian Beaver digital stamps from RAM Stamps!

After printing out my digi stamp (along with some extra leaves), I used the following Ohuhu alcohol markers to colour the images:

Beavers: E240, E220, E210, WG050, E310, E170

Wood: E240, E220, E210

Leaves: GY3, GY1, GY4

Once the colouring was finished, I used the following distress oxides along with the cloudy stencil from Lawn Fawn and scene maker stencil from Simon Hurley to create a scene for my beavers:

  • Salty Ocean
  • Twisted Citron
  • Mowed Lawn

I also lightly sprayed the sky to give it a fun effect.

Once I attached all the elements on the card front, I then made the inside of the card using some more leaves along with a matching sentiment. This is my first time doing the inside of a card and I had a lot of fun doing it!

Thanks for reading. Catch ya next time!

Simple Wedding Card – Spellbinders “Metamorphosis” Simon Hurley Collection

by with No Comment Lawn FawnSimon HurleySpellbinders

Hi friends! Earlier this week, I posted a rainbow thank you card using the Stained Window die-cut from Spellbinders designed by Simon Hurley. I had so much fun making that card that I decided to create another card for a different occasion – a wedding card!

This card is much simpler than the other one I made – first, I die-cut the window from white cardstock and glued it onto a white card front on a white A7 card base. Then, I used the Lawn Fawn Big Scripty Words Hot Foil Plates and Spellbinders Silver Glimmer Hot Foil to foil the sentiment “congrats.” To finish, I cut out my sentiment and glued it to the window die cut.

I just loved using this die so much! I will definitely be using it for more cards in the future!

Thanks for reading. Catch ya next time!

Peaceful Country Scene – Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #147

by with No Comment Distress OxideLawn FawnSimon Hurley

Hi friends! Today’s card is for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #147: “Create a scene: city vs country,” and I have decided to do country! While I am much more of a city person, a country-themed card came more naturally to me.

Using the Lawn Fawn Cloudy Stencil and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide, I first created a simple sky scene on the card front. I used my Cricut cutting machine to cut out the circle on the card front. I then used the Simon Hurley Create Scene Maker Stencil and Mask along with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide to create a simple grass field.

I used Lawn Fawn Jet Black Premium Ink Pad to stamp several images and sentiments from the Scootin’ By stamp set. I coloured the images using the following Ohuhu alcohol markers:

Scooter: R1, R2, NG03

Bunny: YR240, YR250, Y120

Balloons: BG3, BG4, RV260, RV270, Y030, Y050

I also die-cut a couple of clouds from the Beary Rainy Day set to add to the card. Once everything was die-cut and ready, I assembled all the elements to create the perfect country scene!

Thanks for reading. Catch ya next time!
