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!

All You Need Is Love

Happy August 1st!  Today's make and share is a quick card I created using the Prima Marketing 6x6 paper pad titled Love Clippings, a large word die and sentiment from Crafters Companion, Glitter Card from Recollections, diamond shaped die cuts and Kraft Card.


My card measures A2 (4.25" x 5.5") and I cut several diamond shaped pieces of the Prima DSP to create a Shabby Chic Quilted look.  I assembled the pieces on a separate piece of scrap paper, then mounted on brown cardstock.  I die cut the word sentiment out of Glitter paper from Recollections and stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of the DSP.  For the final touch, added some flat back pearls and called it complete.  Very easy and not too time consuming however I'm a perfectionist so those diamond shapes needed to be just so.

I hope you enjoyed my make today and until next time, Happy Crafting!
