3-layer card

Blimey I'm late in posting today so I'll just quickly show you my project.

It's one of those 3 layer cards that seem to be everywhere at the moment, I guess people like them as they  look so good but are so easy to make.

I had to put a little sparkle on there, so I used one of the "Concord Crush" glimmer brads, which are retiring at the end of the month.  (Don't forget to check using the link above on the status of all the retiring products)

I can't do it today, but next week I'll work on a little tutorial for you to show you how this style of card is done.

take care .. xx

Cherry Scented card

Hello,

Not got a lot of time at the moment for some reason, but I did want to quickly share this card with you.

It's using the Note card & Envelope set again as I love this size but the real fab part of this card is the cherries ~ they smell!

No, really, they do smell of cherries.  Stampin' Up have launched a range of scented clear embossing powders, you can get "Vanilla", "Cherry" or "Melon" ~ now seriously, how fantastic is that!

Ooo, all shiny!

I used marker pens to ink up the Cherry stamp from the "Button Buddies" stamp set then went over the cherries with the VersaMarker pen before adding the "Cherry" clear embossing powder.  So quick and easy to add a real surprise 'WOW' factor to your crafting.

Have a great day.... xx

Yet another 'Balloon' birthday card

What can I say, the balloons in the "Up, Up and Away" stamp set are just so cheery it's difficult to stop using them.

I also used the "Sweet Cake" stamp set for the sentiment, which I think are great and very usable.

If you look at the lower section of the card, just above the sentiment, you will see the where I've used the Crimper to add some texture to the card.

The clouds are sooo cute!

I added 'colour' to the clouds by colouring them in with a Versa Marker pen.  This just gives them a slightly deeper colour.  A Versa Marker pen is a great way of doubling up your ink colours as, as you can see from my example, it makes very colour of cardstock you have look just that slightly bit darker.

Enjoy the rest of your day.... xx
