Mother's Day Card with Altenew

For this Mother's Day card I created a background using Altenew's Flower Vine set and colored it with Copics.  Here are the colors I used:  V01, V04, YG23, YG67, RV04, RV09, Y08, Y38, B21, B24.

I used a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Mom's Meadow which I heat embossed using Hero Arts gold glitter.  I fussy cut this out and them glued it to a piece of vellum which I also cut out a bit larger.

Thanks for visiting and Happy Mother's Day!

Birthday Card with Simon Says Stamp

 

I created this card using Simon Says Stamp "Mom's Meadow".

I stamped the images using Taylored Expressions Oreo ink on Bristol paper and then colored them with my Zig Clean Color Markers.  Once they were dry, I used some Stickles and Nuvo Drops to add some interest.  The sentiment is from the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero May 2020 kit.

Congratulations Wedding Card with Simon Says Stamp and Cas-ual Fridays

I love the "Heart to Heart" background stamp by Simon Says Stamp.  Here I did a watercolor wash background using my Aloha Watercolors (so sparkly!) and then heat embossed the stamp in white.

I used "Heartfelt Says" by Cas-ual Fridays Stamps for sentiment which was white heat embossed on a piece of vellum.

Thanks for stopping by!

Box Birthday Card with Lawn Fawn & Avery Elle - 2018

A fun card to celebrate a girlfriend's 40th!

I again used the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up to create this card.

Other products used were: "Party Balloons" by Lawn Fawn; "Numbered Balloons" by Avery Elle; "Happy Birthday" by Simon Says Stamp; stamps and dies from "Happy Happy Happy" by Lawn Fawn; and some various images from older Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kits.

The one side flap is blank because I stuck a gift card there.

Graduation Cards with MFT - 2018

I made a couple of cards for my nieces that were graduating from high school.  I didn't have a single graduation related stamp in my stash, so I improvised with the "Bundle of Balloons" by MFT.

I cut the balloons out of Simon Says Stamp glitter paper and white.  The background was created with some blue ink and my MFT cloud stencil.

For the inside of the card, I used the We R Memory Keepers Pop Up Gift Card Box so that I could send them each a gift card.

It's so cool how it pops up when you open the card!

Birthday Card with My Favorite Things - 2017

Here is a sweet birthday card I made for a friend a couple of years ago.  This is the card that really got me started with Copics.  I tried a couple of other coloring mediums on the bears and just wasn't happy.  Then I tried Copics and while the coloring isn't the best, I fell in love with those markers!

I blended some Distress Inks on my card base, then cut the "happy birthday" die by Simon Says three times from cardstock and stacked them to create some dimensions.  The Bitty Bears are adhered with foam dots.
