Big Hugs

Hello!  Today's make and share was inspired by a Gina K. Designs You Tube Video.  I love watching card making videos; I get lots of inspiration in addition to learning some new techniques and being reminded of old techniques as well.  

This card features an embossed and inked background panel made to look like a window with several panes.  The look was achieved by laying down washi tape, inking over it and adhering a large Sentiment Die cut to the center.


I used Wilted Violet, Squeezed Lemonade and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Inks to color the panel and for a final touch, applied Wink of Stella over the Die Cut Sentiment.  Fairly quick and simple card, the hardest part was waiting for the ink to dry!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Everyday Is An Adventure

Hello and Happy Monday!  I'm back with another make and share for today; an A2 sized card that features a big sentiment and is basically a Clean and Simple Design.  CAS isn't my typical style as I like to use lots of Designer Series Paper, layers and color up digi stamps however I'm trying to broaden my styles to embrace all sorts.


I started by inking just the center section of a card panel by taking a scrap piece of card and tearing it on 2 sides to get rugged edges.  I inked the middle portion of the card with a combination of Distress Oxide Inks in the colors Speckled Egg and Bundled Sage.  

After the ink blend dried, I chose some botanical stamps from my stash and a sentiment stamp from Kelly Creates; leaving the images colorless except for the middle of the flower, which I glued Peacock Glitter from Recollections using a Quickie Glue Pen (my "go to" for adhering loose glitter in small areas).  For the final touch, added flat back pearls and mounted on on a light blue mat.  

I enjoyed making this simple design and look forward to creating another.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Love Will Find A Way

Today's make and share is a card inspired by Gina K. Designs and features an image from her latest kit.  Also, a sentiment from Kelly Creates and some ink blending.


I'm usually a News at Noon or an Evening News Watcher but lately I cannot bear it.  So much turmoil, so much hate and separation.  This card came to me over the weekend and I think it's appropriate for the current times we are living.  With a little inspiration from a Gina K. Designs You Tube Video, this is my take on her make.

In hindsight, I think I should have allowed the Distress Oxides to dry completely before stamping the focal image and the sentiment.  I left them sit for about 30 minutes but maybe that wasn't enough time; it appears the circle is in front of the image and sentiment instead of the other way round; it's ok I suppose.  I still like the card and it represents how I'm feeling at the moment.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
