Biggest Wish Masculin Card

 Hi folks, 

Here we are, another beautiful, sunny day in Aylesford, Nova Scotia.  Spring is just around the corner, I think a lot of people are looking forward to a change of season.  

This particular sketch was very interesting in design and really had me thinking.  I think my friend Barb, from Making Card at 1 Ink Hill likes to find detailed sketches for me to try and decipher.  It is lots of fun to interpret each sketch but still be able to identify the original design.  

Some people really struggle with masculine cards but this could be easily used as one.  

For the card base and bottom square layers I used Basic Black.  The perfect piece of designer series paper was found in the Abstract Beauty dsp pack and used as the next layer.  Gray Granite cardstock embossed using the Hive 3D folder (first time using it!) added an extra layer and element to this card.  It was also used for the layer stamped with the Happy Birthday sentiment from Biggest Wish.  Once it was stamped, I cut the square into four smaller squares and then mounted onto the previously cute Basic Black layers.  These were stamped using Gray Granite ink first for tone on tone effect, then Memento ink on top for a layered look.  These were popped up using dimensionals being the main focal point of the project.  If you look, you can see some Classic Matte Dots amongst the flecks of fabulous colour.  Take a look here, 


Thanks for stopping by, 

Mary Louise

Stampin' Up! Paper Butterfly Accents Sympathy Card

Image
Good day folks!  Another cold, sunny January day here in Nova Scotia.  Here is another project that I provided for my club gals.  It's actually one I found on Pinterest and case'd it using items I had on hand.  I had bought the butterfly accents last fall and finally got around to using them. I like this card because there is very little stamping, a bit of colour added using Blending Brushes and then adhere all of the pieces.  Let's get started! Colouring was the first part of this card.  First I added some colour to the sentiment for the cardfront as well as the insert using the Berry Burst ink and Blending Brushes.  I didn't want a lot of colour, just enough to pop the Memento sentiments....which I added next using sentiments from the Something Fancy stamp set.  The sentiment for the front can now be cut using the die from the Something Fancy bundle.  Next, I added some Berry Burst to the butterflies, again using the Blending Brushes.(large...

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Beauty DSP Birthday Card

Image
Today's card is from a sketch that I found online from an American Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I often search facebook or instagram for inspiration to get the creative juices flowing. Stampin' Up! has made card creating so easy by offering so many coordinating products, it takes the guess work out of it and allows us more time to focus on having fun. The first layer of dsp used is a piece from the 2024-2026 In Color and I used the Summer Splash colour. This is adhered to a Summer Splash cardbase.  There are three more pieces of Summer Splash cardstock topped with either dsp or the top one which has Basic White on it.  They are all adhered using Stampin' Seal and Stampin' Dimensionals along the outer edges.  The Basic White cardstock layer is stamped using Memento and the Country Birdhouse stamp set.  To achieve the happy birthday, I covered one half of the stamp while inking it up, removed the covering (post it note) and then stamped. I also added a fussy cut im...
