Post 466: 2 Clean & Simple Cards (Inspiration for SDC305- Under the Sea)

Hi friends!

Stampotique Designer's Challenge (SDC) #305- "Under the Sea" is currently on, it is open worldwide & there are lovely prizes on offer, so please do read the rules & play along! 

For the inspiration, I created 2 Clean & Simple (CAS) Style cards using snarky, funny & cute sentiments by Stampotique. Since I didn't have any sea themed stamps, I used some cute fish buttons I had in my stash for a long time :) Did some ink smooshing to add color to the background, distressed the edges of the die cut panels, foam mounted the panels on A2 sized white card bases & added enamel dots to finish the cards. 

CAS Card 1

(Used Stampotique's Quotes #1 Stamp, Item 8995)

CAS Card 2

(Used Stampotique's Phrase Cube 4, Item 13038)

Post 421: Inspiration for Craft Stamper Magazine's TIMI Challenge- April

Hi friends!!

Craft Stamper Magazine's Take it Make it Challenge is in full swing. It is an ANYTHING GOES stamping challenge, so please do join in with your lovely entries for a chance to win beautiful prizes and also a chance to be published in the magazine & be a Guest Designer!! 

For today's Inspiration Post at Craft Stamper, I made a motivational card :) To visit & see all the beautiful projects, the DT made for you, please click HERE. I love meaningful quotes. I really like the quote used here, "Don't Let The Rain Dull Your Sparkle". For this card, I used a lot of supplies I hadn't used before, like Catherine Pooler Inks, a couple of new Visible Image stamps & a Prima stencil. I always like it when I'm able to use never-before-used-supplies. 

For the card, I used ink smooshing to create an organic looking background and then did background stenciling & stamping. Then stamped the image & sentiment, created black ink splatter, distressed the edges of the panel, foam mounted it on the black mat & finally adhered this to the white card base (4.5 by 5.75 inches) 

Here are a few photos of the card:

Supplies Used:

Visible Image Stamps- Sparkle in the Rain & Jazz it Up

Prima Salvage District Stencil- Clocks

Catherine Pooler Inkpads- Lime Rickey, Aquatini & Something Borrowed

Ranger's Distress Inkpad- Black Soot

Post 319: Autumn Inspired Card (Ink Smooshing)

Hi friends!

I'd like to share a Simple Card today. I was inspired by the colors of Autumn. The card is 5 by 7 inches in size. I used a Prima stamp and Lindy's sprays that were new in my stash. The process was simple enough, stamped the beautiful image onto watercolor paper and distressed the edges of the panel with a deckling tool. Did ink smooshing onto the panel using Lindysgang sprays. Added a little bit of stencil work with a Harlequinn design stencil and then, the die cut sentiment "Blessings"was adhered. (shadow effect was created on the sentiment to make it more visible). In the end, the panel was foam mounted on the black card base.

Supplies Used:

Lindy's Sprays- Ponderosa Pines Olive, Drop Dead Gorgeous Green, Red Hot Poker Orange & Screamin Banshee Black

Prima Princess Stamp- Stella

Canson Montval Watercolor Paper

Cutplorations Word Die-  Blessings

Snippets of white and black cardstock
