Birthday Card with Concord & 9th

While I had the "Hello Lovely" from Concord & 9th stamp set out, I also decided to go a completely different direction for another birthday card.

Here I kept it simple and just heat embossed the image on black cardstock using Hero Art's Purple Sparkle embossing powder.


The sentiment is from Queen & Company and I heat embossed that using some silver embossing powder.  I finished it off with a bit of Wink of Stella on the main flower and called it good.  The picture doesn't show it well, but the purple sparkle embossing powder is quite sparkly!

Anniversary Card Cross Stitch Card

This is my first card cross stitched on paper!  I used the Cross Stitch Rectangle die from My Favorite Things along with DMC Pearl Floss and a pattern that I found on Pinterest.


The You & Me die cut from Echo Park was perfect!  I cut it from some gold cardstock which I also used behind the panel.  I stamped the Happy and Day using matching gold ink. All in all I was very happy with how this card turned out.

Birthday Card with Concord & 9th

Hello friends!

Today I am sharing a birthday card that I made for my best friend.


I stamped the large flower bunch from Concord & 9th's "Hello Lovely" stamp set and heat embossed it with Ranger's Rose Gold embossing powder.  Then I colored away with my Polychromos colored pencils.  I added a few sequins and some Wink of Stella and finished it off with a sentiment from Stampin' Up's Wetland's set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank You Card with Hero Arts

My sister gave me a card kit from The Paper Crate for my birthday and once it arrived, I had to make her a card using the supplies.


I used the inks that came with the kit and did some blending to create the background.  I stamped the mouse from the December 2018 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit separately and then colored it with my Copics.  The sentiment is from "Simply Said: Amazing" by Avery Elle.

Thank You Card with Hero Arts and Neat & Tangled

I don't feel like this was my best work, but still worth sharing.

I got some new Finetec watercolors that I had asked for for Christmas and I wanted to try them out.


I die cut a couple of pieces of navy and white cardstock with the Fancy Square from Studio Katia.  Then I stamped and heat embossed the jellyfish from the July 2016 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit and the sentiment from "All My Heart" by Neat & Tangled.  I put on some colors using as little water as possible since I wasn't using watercolor paper and tada!
