Dream Big Owl Card

Happy Monday crafty friends,

Whew, it has been a while since my last post. So much going on but I think we will be getting into a routine here on the home front. This will help me to share with you all a little more consistently. Today I wanted to share a card I created with this month’s Stamp of The Month Set… What A Hoot. There is only one week left in which to order this super fun set. Only $5 with a qualifying $50 purchase from my Close To My Heart link.

Here’s a look at my finished card. It measures 5 x 6.5. I started with a white card base. I then layered a black and pink (cotton candy cardstock) mat. I then used some of the Scaredy Cat paper for the top mat.  I added a mat with a stamped background under my completed Owl. The sentiment….Dream Big is stamped with  my black ink pad and from the Your Own Kind of Wonderful Stamp Set.

Here is a closer look at the pretty little flowers. They are part of this week’s FREE With Any Purchase SVG cut file Bundle (See Bundle). I started by cutting them out in plain white cardstock. I then stamped them with my In Distressed Backgrounds stamp set

using my Lagoon Ink Pad. I had some plain white pearls in my stash so I used my Tender Pink  Touch Twin Marker and colored the pearls. This gave them a nice soft pink color to match my card.

Here’s a closer look at my owl. Once again I used my Touch Twin Markers to color my pieces in. I like how well the colors blended together. I used my  Cherry Pink Marker, Tender Pink, Peony Purple Marker and my Lavender marker along with my colorless blender marker. I then used my Thistle ink pad to stamp in the eyes. The pieces to my owl were cut from the matching SVG cut file set I created for this stamp set.  You can also see in this photo were I used my Lagoon Ink Pad as well as my distressed backgrounds stamp set to stamp the hounds tooth pattern. I matted that onto some black cardstock.  I used some foam tape to give the mat the owl is on a little extra dimension. Lastly I used some miscellaneous ribbon I had in my stash for the simple border and bow.

Hope Card

Hello crafty friends,

Hope your Thursday is going well. I wanted to share a quick card I made using a few of the new Close To My Heart products.

Here’s a look at my completed card. It is a 4.25 x 5.5 A4 sized card. I used a kraft cardstock base. I then used a piece of cotton candy cardstock. Then I used a piece of white cardstock, my whisper ink pad and the chicken wire stamp from the distressed backgrounds stamp set.

I stamped the background and then applied it to the cotton candy mat. Next I used a piece of 6.5 x 3.5 piece of paper from the Brushed paper pack The little tab of yellow paper is also from the same paper pack. It is the other side of this paper. I added a little pink button from my stash and some hemp cord from May Arts Ribbon to finish off the little tab at the top.

 

Next I used the Hope stamp and stamped it with my whisper ink pad.

I then used some of my new Shinhan markers to color in the stamp. I used my Pazzles Inspiration to create a matching SVG cut file for this stamp. No fussy cutting involved. After coloring in the stamp, I used a bit of my Diamond Stickles and added a few dots to give it a nice finish.
