Birthday Card with Avery Elle and Gina Marie Designs - 2017

At this point, I'm starting to slowly build up my stash of supplies and just had to have this set by Avery Elle called "Be A Unicorn".

This was a birthday card that I made for my mom.

I stamped and colored the unicorn and the rainbow with colored pencils.
The "clouds" are Stitched Hearts from Gina Marie Designs.

New Baby Card with Hero Arts and Taylored Expressions - 2017

I made a card for friends that were expecting.

I could have sworn they said they were having a girl, but then they had a boy and I quickly made a new card.

The sentiment is from Hero Arts "Little One".  The patterned paper and cloud die is from Echo Park.  The small hearts and stars die cuts and stamped dotted lines are from Taylored Expressions "Hello Baby".

My First Card - Christmas 2016

This was the first card I made in 2016.  I cross stitched a pattern that I found on Pinterest and glued it to a blank white note card.  It was pretty plain, but perfect for giving to my Dad.  Soon after I had more cards in the works, which I'll share in the following posts.

Mother's Day with Mama Elephant

Here is a simple Mother's Day card using the Mama Elephant "Wild Meadow" stamp set. I stamped the flowers on Neenah Desert Storm cardstock with Versafine.  Then colored them with Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils.  The sentiment I stamped with Versafine using Concord & 9th's "Perfectly Penned".

Once all the stamping was done, I die cut each piece.  Then glued a sheet of acetate to the top flower portion to create a window.

Mother's Day Flowers with Pretty Pink Posh

Aloha Friends and thanks for visiting!

For this card, I wanted to try to recreate Rena K's Pop Up Flower Card that she demonstrated in this video. It turned out really well, and I was quite happy!

Here is the front of the card:

And the inside:

Here are the steps I used to create the card:

• Took some 4" x 4" printer paper and covered each with Distress Oxides in abandoned coral, wilted violet, shaded lilac, worn lipstick, fossilized amber and tattered rose using a Life Changing Blending Brush
• Using the steps that Rena K shows in the video, I adhered the bouquet to the inside of a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card base of MFT Cement Gray cardstock
• Cut a heart with Hero Arts Nesting Hearts Infinity die and stamp a sentiment from Whimsy Stamps "Mother Love" in Versafine ink
• Stamp the hummingbirds by Pretty Pink Posh "Hummingbird Thanks" on Catherine Pooler Smooth White cardstock with Gina K Jet Black Amalgam Ink and colored with Copics.  Here are the colors I used:
• Wings - BV000, BV02, BV04
• Body - BG11, BG15, BG07
• Head - B000, B02, B05
•  Added details to the hummingbirds using a white gel pen and Nuvo drops for eyes then fussy cut them
• Then I cleaned up the edges using an EK Tool black pen and adhered them to the card using Lawn Fawn glue

I know my mom will love it!
