{Technique Tuesday} I'm Bananas about you

Hello!

Today I'm sharing a card I made using the Monkey business stamp set from the Animal house collection. This was such a fun one to play with. Such cute little monkeys with a bunch of fun sentiments. 

For this card I wanted a leafy background. Ordinarily I like creating backgrounds with stamps. But for this one I had the green card stock that is cut out(? I'm not sure how to describe it) I've been hoarding this and some others for years and finally decided it was time to use it. 

So I trimmed a piece down  and glued it over a lighter green piece of card stock so it would pop. I used a stitched mat to die cut this piece down to a smaller size.  I stamped the monkey, the bananas and the sentiment onto some kraft card stock and coloured the images in with Prisma coloured pencils.  I adhered the kraft piece to the green background and then adhered the green piece onto an acetate card base. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

{Technique Tuesday} Celebrating Women and Moms.

Hello there.

I hope you are enjoying a relaxing Sunday wherever you are. Today at Technique Tuesday we are celebrating Women and Mothers. I am sharing a card I made that could be given to a special woman in your life for just about and occasion. 

This card featured the Beautiful Narcissus flower stamp set. I stamped the image onto some smooth white cardstock and then cut it out with the matching die. I then coloured it in with copic markers.  I watercoloured the background onto some watercolour paper. Next I cut a gold scalloped frame and cut the watercolour panel down to fit behind it. I adhered the flower onto the watercolour panel and popped it up onto an embossed card base with some foam tape. I heat embossed the sentiment onto a little die cut and adhered it onto the front.

Thanks for stopping by.

Enjoy the rest of your day :)

Robbies back!

Hello and welcome back. So my friend Robbie the racoon wanted to make another appearance today. 😜

Here he is getting up to mischief again. Seriously... I just love this little guy. He reminds me of my youngest son....always getting into some kind of trouble but then has that cute little "what?" look on his face.  😂

So, I got reallly into this card that I totally forgot to stop and take pics as I was going. 🙈Sorry! Anyway... Luckily it is pretty straight forward so it's easy to just explain.
I started with a plain white 4.5X5.5 Panel of Neenah white card stock and I masked and stamped all my images onto the panel. Next I coloured all the images in with copic markers. (I'm not loving the way I coloured Robbie over there. I think I should have left his face a little lighter in spots so it stood out more. But hey! It is what it is!) When I was done colouring I masked off all the images and coloured the background with some distress ink blending. I used Pumice stone and Tumbled Glass. I added some water droplets and some foot prints. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the panel. I ran the panel through my die cutter with a stitched die to add a boarder. Ans finally I glued the panel onto a white card base.

And that was it. Easy peasy.
Thanks for coming by again. I hope you are having a great day wherever you are.

Robbie the raccoon

Hello again. 
Todays card is featuring Robbie the raccoon from Technique Tuesday. 

I love how cute this little guy is, poking his head out of the garbage can. I know that no-one likes raccoons going through their garbage in real life. But in the land of crafting it's all good. 😝

For this card I stamped the images with memento tuxedo black ink onto 100LB Neenah white card stock. I coloured them in with copic markers. Although I have matching dies I opted to fussy cut the images out since I did not any white borders. I inked up a 4.5 X 5.5 piece of white card stock using some distress inks in pumice stone and tumbled glass. I used some water to create the droplets and them used a stitched die to cut my panel where I adhered my images to. I stamped some of the little footprints and used a grey copic marker to add some shadows to ground my images. I stamped the sentiment and adhered the panel to a kraft coloured card base. 

That's it for today. I'll have more cards using this and other Technique Tuesday stamps to share in the coming days. So be sure to stop by and visit me again soon.

To get 20% off your entire order, enter coupon code HB2019 at checkout! Hurry...this offer ends on Sunday, March 24, 2019 at midnight PDT!

For todays card I used the Sassy Birthday 2 .0 stamp set to create this sweet birthday card.

I started by die cutting the windows and stitched scallop border from a plain 4.25 x 5.5 panel of white card stock. I then stamped my images onto the inner pieces that were left from the window cut outs. I coloured the images in with copic markers. I drew my colour palette from the colours in the striped piece of paper I used for my background panel.  I and then masked them so I could do some light ink blending around them to make them stand out more. I stamped the sentiment onto my top panel and coloured them in with copics too. I adhered the piece of patterned paper to the base of my card and then placed the window panel on top of this with foam tape. I glued the images into the windows. and I finished the card with a few pretty jewels drops.

Thats my card for today. Come back tomorrow to see how I used this same set to create another card. 
Thanks for stopping by and happy shopping!

Technique Tuesday

Hello again!
Today I so am excited to share a card I made using the Beau & Beatrice the beaver stamp set from Technique Tuesday. It is the newest addition to the Animal house collection. I just love all the stamps in this collection. They have such awesome sentiments and such cute images.
So without further ado.... I give you my card 😁

Aren't these little guys just adorable? 😍
I used a cloud stencil and some Tumbled glass distress ink to create the clouds onto an A2 white card. I used some stitched circles to die cut the windows from some woodgrain card stock. Once I stamped and die cut the beavers out I used copic markers to colour them in. The sentiments are heat embossed with white embossing powder onto some black card stock. Once I finished assembling the card I added some of my favourite rain drops to the card to just kick it up a notch.

I hope you enjoyed my card for today and I'll be back to share more cute cards with this adorable set.

Thanks for stopping by.
