Hi there,

Today I am sharing a card that I have made using a past Mojo Monday Sketch. I really loved the Rustic Rooster stamp set from Stampin’ Up!, which sadly now has retired. I found this great background stamp “Hex Net” from Prima Marketing Inc and for this card I have used the masking technique.

Here is my card:

Hi again,

The card I’m sharing today I made for my dear Mum it was her 65th birthday yesterday. The family got together last night for dinner as well as some yummy continental torte birthdaycake for dessert. Everyone including Mum had a great night and she really loved this card.

I saw this beautiful paper rose turtorial on the Kaisercraft blog the other day, which I just had to have a go at making one, which came together perfectly for this birthday card for Mum.

Here is the card:

Here is a closer look at the paper rose:

To make the paper roses I have used the flower from the Cricut Cartridge-Mini Monograms, I cut 4 flowers ranging from 2½” – 1¼” in size. Then I screwed them up into a ball and flatten them back out. I roughed the edge’s with the Heidi Swapp Edge Distresser and the rubbed Distress ink over the flower and around the edges, then once I put the flower together I sprayed the whole flower with Glimmer Mist.  This closer shot of the flower has picked up the shimmer really well.

Card Supplies:

Cardstock: Stampin’ Up! – Sage Shadow, Pale Plum, Very Vanilla and Whisper White. Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Milled Lavender. Pattern Paper: Melissa Frances – Courage and Ella. Punch: Stampin’ Up! – Eyelet Border and Two Step Bird Extra Large. Nestabilities – Classic Scallop Circles. Creative Memories – Circle Cutter. Kaisercraft Rubons-Happy Birthday. Tattered Angels: Glimmer Mist – Pearl.

I have loved the Forever Friends bears since I was a kid and even have a collection going, when my Mother in-law went to England she brought me back a paper towel roll that has the forever friends bear imprint on it. lol

This card I’m sharing today is one of the stamps I purchased of these cute little bears.

Card Supplies:

Ink:  Memento – Tuxedo Black. Pattern Paper: My Minds Eye and Basic Grey. Cardstock: Stampin’ Up! Chocolate Chip and Whisper White. Nestabilities – Large Classic Scallop Circle die. Fiskars Border Punch – Threading Water. Copic Markers. Kaisercraft Rubon words. Docrafts Papermania Adhesive Stones.

Hi there,

Its been a while since I have had a play with alcohol inks, so when I brought this gorgeous stamp from Stamp It, I thought it would look great done with an inked background.

Here is what I came up with:

I have used 4 colours in the alcohol inks Purple Twilight, Willow, Pink sherbert and Juniper onto the felt applicator and pounced it on to glossy white cardstock. Then I have inked the stamp in black ink , stamped the image onto the  background and have clear embossed and heat set the image with my heat gun. Such a simple technique with a great effect to the finished project.

Card Supplies:

Cardstock: Stampin’ Up! – Elegant Eggplant, Pale Plum. White Glossy Cardstock. Inks: Stampin’ Up! – Basic Black, Versa Mark. Alcohol Inks: Juniper, Purple Twilight, Willow and Pink Sherbert. Stamps: Stamp It – Whirl Collage and Stampin’ Up! – All a Flutter. Other: Felt Applicator, Clear Embossing Powder, Heat Gun and Ribbon – Satin Purple.

Hi there,

Todays card is a technique from a tutorial video I watch from Jennifer McGuire called Pearlized Ink Blending, when I saw this technique I just could’nt wait to give it a try. 

In the video Jennifer has used this technique on a scrapbooking page, (which looks so stunning).

I thought I would start by just trying it on a card. This is much inspired by her scrapbook page.

I’m lov’in the pearl sheen effect to the card. Unfortunately the sheen has’nt come up very well in this photo, but it does looks very sparkley. I’m really happy that this technique actually worked for me, usually when I try something for the first time on most occasions I normally stuff it up.

Anyway here is the link to the video if you would like to see how the pearlized Ink blending is done.

Card Supplies:

Cardstock: White. Ink: Distress Ink – bundled sage, spiced marmalade and worn lipstick. Stamp: Stamp It -Foliage Flurry. Other: Ribbon, Carl Punches - Butterfly, large and small. Rhinestones – Green. Versa Mark Dazzle stamp pad, white embossing powder, Heat gun and Perfect pearls mixed with some water in a mini mister bottle.

Thanks for looking!
