Wavy Thank You

 Good morning! I have been a little absent over the last few months but I'm back on a roll with posting.

My post today is showcasing a simple thank you card that is quick and easy to design making it a great card for batch making.

I used products from CutCardstock for the design also using some items from my stash.

It started its life as an A2 Classic Crest Cardbase, Covered with Stardream Metallic Lagoon Cardstock and a layer of Neenah Solar White Cardstock. 

The top layer was die cut with a Crafter's Companion Edgeable die giving me the floral wave and the negative Thank You cut in to it.

The base was then matted with Lagoon, followed by the Neenah Solar White with cut 2/8th in smaller than the last. Finally my Topper was adhered in place.

Using Diamond Press Flower Dies I diecut and layered a flower and added this to the card

Finally some color-coordinated gems were glued in place for added sparkle.


Thank you for stopping by and I hope my card has peaked your interest and given you inspiration!

Get Hipster this Valentine's Day

 Hello! Well winter has definitely settled in, we have lots of snow temperatures have been sub-zero for at least the last 10 days!

I'm staying home, nice and warm creating in my Craftroom. I have some amazing news, I was invited to join the Maker Forte design team and I accepted. My first products arrived this week and I am so excited to share my first creation with you.

This stamp set is called Hipster Valentine and Thought it was quite quirky and different for Valentine's Day.

I started the card by stamping the images on to white stamping card with Maker Forte Remarkable Ink and coloring with my Copic markers. I had also stamped the images onto masking paper and used these to cover the images while I decorated the back ground.

Bokeh Circle Stencil was used to give me a cool effect. I ink blended through the smallest stencil with Maker Forte color Hive Welsh Dragon ink then, after cleaning the Stencil, turned it 90 degrees and repeated the step with Tiptree Jam ink.

When I removed my masks it gave the impression that the images are on top of the background!

Using Welsh Green Cardstock I matted an A2 card base and added my card front. 

To finish the card I used Crystal Clear Glue on the heart to give a raised glossy addition. 

Thank you for taking time to read my post and if you have any comments please let me know below!
