Rainbow Birthday Card

Welcome Back!

Today I have a very simple but colorful birthday card.

I was in the mood to play with Distress Oxide Inks and figured a rainbow design would be fun. 

  

I used the MFT All About You Stamp Set and Distress Oxide Colors

 in Abandoned Coral, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn and Salty Ocean.

I used my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to stamp background then used the All About You Die for the sentiment plus same stamp set for the top sentiment. I then matted it onto some black card stock to make the colors pop more. 

I used that same Happy Birthday Stamp minus the to and stamped it repeatedly onto the flap of the envelope in the same colors to tie them together. 

Thank you so much for visiting and see you next time!

Congrats card using Distress Oxide Water Paining Technique

Welcome Back 

I am sure you can see that I really loved using Jennifer McGuire's technique of the water painting. 

Today I have a card I made to send to a friend who became new homeowners. 

I just love the combo of these Distress Oxide Colors even though both blue. 

I white heat embossed the flowers onto some Bristol Smooth card stock and then ink blended on top. 

Stamp Set:

  W Plus 9 Beautiful Bouquets: Dahlias

Distress Oxide Inks:

Salty Ocean

Blueprint Sketch

Sentiment:

Simon Says Stamp PAINTED CONGRATS Wafer Die

I glued the sentiment onto some dark gray card stock and then cut out leaving a border. 

To finish it up I added some sequins to add some sparkle. 

Thank you so much for visiting and I hope you have a fantastic day!

Daffodil Card using Silhouette Cameo 3 and Distress Oxides

Hey!!

Oh man April was not a great month for my Silhouette Cameo 3.
No matter what I put the blade at or settings in the Studio software the machine would go crazy and cut like it was cutting through chipboard.

I went though 3 reps and new cutting strips and blades and then finally got the replacement machine sent and it worked!!!
This was the first card I made and I was stoked!!

I love daffodils and I had to get this file when I saw it in the Design Store. 

I cut all the parts from white cardstock and then Colored with Distress Oxide Inks. 

I finally shed off with some Nuvo Jewel Drops in Grey Mist. 

Distress Oxides: 

Salty Ocean

Squeezed Lemonade

Carved Pumpkin

Lucky Clover 

Thank you for stopping by and see you next time!!

A2 X-Card Birthday Present using Concord and 9th Sprinkles Turnabout stamp set

Hi!
This was a fun Birthday card I made for my Uncle.
I got my new Silhouette Cameo and just had to make something.

I made the background using the Concord and 9th Sprinkles Turnabout stamp set. I used the cupcakes and other stamps to just stamp all over a 81/2 x 11 piece of yardstick using Distress Oxide Inks. I used Wild Honey, Salty Ocean, Candied Apple, Wilted Violet and Lucky Clover.

I cut it out using a Lori Whitlock A2 X-Card Birthday Present design.
I colored the present with the Distress Oxide inks and attached using some red twine.

It came out so cute and fun!

Thank you for stopping by and till later..Have a great day!

Color Throwdown Challege #469 using SSS & CZ Design Coolest Yulest

Happy Thursday!

I busted out all my Turkey Day cards so I got to play with the

 Color Throwdown Challenge #469 this week.

The colors are Light Blue, Blue and Silver.

 I loved the colors so much that I made two cards. 

One using black as the acccent and one with just the challenge colors. 

I made the above card using the Simon Says stamp and CZ design Coolest Yulest stamp set.

I used Distress Oxide ink in Broken China and Salty Ocean for the background. I then heat embossed the images with a silver glitter embossing powder.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set and stamped with Versafine Ink. 

I used a few of the same images and same ink to stamp the inside. 

I will post tomorrow with the second card I made for this challenge. Until then, I hope you have a fantastic day and I will see you next time.

MFT Weekly Sketch Challenge using Otterly Love You Stamp and Die Set

Hello Again!

I have a new Challenge Today. 

I love My Favorite Things Stamps and Dies and decided to try my hand at their card sketch challenge. 

Here is the Sketch for this Weeks Challenge #344

I made the banner style shape by cutting on my trimmer and using the stich die in the MFT Die-namics Blueprints 13 set.  

I ink blended Salty Ocean and Broken China Oxide Inks and then used a Distress Sprayer to add the water for a ocean like background. I then sprayed some Glimmer Mist on it to add some sparkle. 

The images and sentiment come from the MFT Otterly Love You Stamp and Die set.

 I colored them with Spectrum Noir Markers.  The sentiment was stamped onto some random pattern paper I had and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 

After everything was assembled I used some glossy accents on the otter noses and to make some bubbles for the fish. 

Thank you for coming by and I will see you next time!
