Star Effect Card....

Hi everyone.

Just popping in today to share with you a card that I made after being inspired by one that I saw on a Youtube video recently.  It was super easy to make and much fun. The video also contains information on constructing the matching envelope.

 Although this one is not being posted, it is easy to post ( I would change the flowers and use less bulky ones ) - as it pulls apart and folds flat.  





I have used the following to decorate my star card.

First Edition Dies - Doileys  
MFT Die - Blueprint 24 
Impression Obsession Die - Greeting Set 
Blue Butterfly Digi Stamp - My Butterfly Friend
Flowers - Paper Flowers    (mine are old stock)
Paper and Cardstock are from my own stash
Copic Markers

If you would like to watch the video on creating the card,  you can find the link here.  Positively Papercraft's instructions are clear and easy to follow.

Our current 'Anything Goes Challenge' has started, so dust off your supplies and join us.

Until next time

Happy Crafting

Glass half full.....

Hi everyone.

Happy New Year, hope you had a wonderful Christmas celebration  with your loved ones.

Today I would like to share with you my card for the start of the  new challenge over at Bizzy Becs

As we have now started a new year I played along with that theme and did a New Years card using a stamp from Stamping Bella.  Although these girls are very slim I had fun colouring her up with Copic Markers.

I also got to use my latest little purchase, a Olivetti portable typewriter to type up 'New Year' as I didn't have stamps with those words.




Items used:
Stamping Bella - Opal the Optiminist
Memory Box Die - Stitched Square Layers
Memory Box Die - City Scape Nightline *
Taylored Expressions Stamp & Die - Think Happy Thoughts *
Tim HoltzDistress Ink Pad - Tea Dye
Copic Markers
* items if available can be ordered via store


Thanks  for dropping by, don't forget to join us for this months challenge.

Until next time, Happy Crafting
