No cake for you!

Hello.

A quick post to show you a card I made for a lil' Facebook challenge. The challenger wanted snarky creations. Challenge accepted!

I made a fast and easy card using stamps from Taylored Expressions. The cat is from a set called Big grumpy cat and the sentiment is from the set Big grumpy birthday.

Enjoy :-)

Sparkle - Oddball Art

Hi..

I'm so happy to tell you that I'm a guest designer for March with Oddball Art. I'm so happy to be asked by Lizzy. I was on the design team a few years back and I still love these images with all my heart.

                                     

Today I.m making a card made with Oddball Art image #109, Kawaii Maddie n friends go back to school. When you get it you recieve two images, like the picture below. One is serious Maddie and one is a bit happier. For this card I chose Happy Maddie :-)

I started by making a background for my card. I really like using distress inks on acrylic blocks for a super pretty effect. You dab the inkpad on an acrylic block, spritz some water on it and plant it on your background paper. Lift it up and dry off the block. At this point I usually move the paper around a little bit before leaving it to dry. Sometimes I use my heat gun, if I need it to dry faster.

 I used the same ink pad and do the whole thing over again and let it dry... again... Of course you can use different colors. Check out my card here and here for examples.

I stamped and embossed my sentiment with a pretty sparkly embossing powder that I've had in my craft stash for I don't know how many years :-) The sentiment is from a stamp set by Taylored Expressions. It's called "Be a unicorn".

It's time to color Maddie. I started of by using watercolor paint but switched to my ZIG Clean Color Brush pens. The first time I used them with water but re-did everything without water. Yup, Maddie was on my desk without colors 3 times... But I'm happy with how she turned out.

I fussy cut her and glued her to my pink distressed paper. A also used some sparkly paper for a frame and her spilling sparkles :-)

And... since it was Leap Day when I finished the card I decided to stamp the back with a date stamp (I usually never put dates on my cards.)

Party - with Sasayaki Glitter

Hi.
It time for a new release over at Sasayaki Glitter. You'll find all the new designs in the Etsy store :-)

My card is made with the fun "Party Ants". I colored the image with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I love them! Since the image is a whole scene I decided to make a CAS card. I used lots of tissue paper for a party feeling ;-)

Have a blast!

Hi there.
It's been a while... I've been out of sorts for the last few months but finalyy I see the light. The crafting light! It started with a sore hand that needed to be treated with antibiotics and a thing to keep my hand stabelized. So that sucked... craft wise. On top of that I've been writing my two thesises, for my teaching degree. This week I'll now if I passed or not on the second one. I'm so nervous right now but since I can craft again, I'm good ;-)

I'm trying to catch up on some DT stuff and will start blogging again for my amazing teams shortly ♥

For this post I thought I'd show a card I made for a CAS-ual Fridays Challenge with the theme "Off the edge". I'm using stamps from the set called "Ka-boom". Since the theme is "Off the edge" I decided to make som sparks using tissuepaper falling off the side. The image, sentiment and a little background is colored with ZIG Clean Colors. They're amazing!

That's it for today. Hope to see you soon again!
