Crafty Meraki - May 8th 2021

 Hello friends! I am back with Crafty Meraki goodness. Today I am featuring "Wings of Hope" stamp set along with "Happy Birthday shadow word die"  These products are a part of #MERAKICHEER release. Don't forget to check out the Instagram account for loads of inspiration featuring the newest products.

Let me show you what I made... 

I wanted to keep the die cut sentiment as the focal part of the card and at the same time make the background interesting. Water coloring is something that makes every background charming. I used a combination of peach and blue with a touch of copper for my loose water colored background. I then stamped the butterflies for a tone on tone effect. The sentiment was cut out from a copper metallic card stock.

Here is a close up...

Hope you like this card! You can check out all the products HERE.

SPELLBINDERS - Birdhouses through the Seasons!

 Hello dear friends! I feel so thrilled to be guesting with Spellbinders again. Today I am sharing the cards I created featuring the newest Birdhouses Through the Seasons Collection by Vicky Papaioannou  I made a card featuring the Build a Winter Birdhouse Etched Dies from this collection

Let me show the card I created :) All the different bird houses are simply adorable.

For my card, I die cut all the pieces, inked and out them together to build a winter bird house. I also inked the panel for the winter sky. I tore a piece of white card stock to make my snow. I used Distress Oxide inks and the sentiment is from STAMPlorations "Yuletide deer" stamp set.

SPELLBINDERS - Susan's Spring Flora Collection!

Hello dear friends! I feel so thrilled to be guesting with Spellbinders again. Today I am sharing the cards I created featuring the newest Susan's Spring Flora Collection  I made a card featuring the following products Sweet Pea Etched Dies and Ferns & Ivy Etched Dies  from this collection

Let me show the card I created :) Flowers in this collection are so beautiful and I love the fact that we can put them together to make 3D flowers.

For my card, I die cut the flower petals and leaves multiple times. I added some detail on the petals using a quilling tool I have. I then used Distress inks to ink up the petals and put the flowers together. I die cut the fern and inked it up too. I then put the cluster together on a kraft panel for an earthy look.

To add more interest I went over with my illustrator pen for some sketchy lines. I used Life is sweeter, Thank you Coffee and Distress Inks for stamping and coloring.
