I’m back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with an underwater scene birthday card, featuring the Avery Elle Underwater Friends, Underwater Background Builder and Everyday Circles stamp sets. As soon as I saw these stamps I knew there would be many underwater scenes on the horizon! I started out by stamping the background onto a blending cardstock panel in…
I’m back on the Heffy Doodle blog today continuing my theme of the last couple of cards: simple scenes. Not got time to go all out with the background? Just take a couple of elements from a set and create a simple scene, adding a central focal image popped up with foam tape for a little dimension. I’m using the…
I’m on the Seven Hills Crafts blog again today with something a little different for me. I wanted to challenge myself to create a card with no colouring – very challenging for me! I used the Concord & 9th Grateful for Everything stamp set with some coordinating Lawn Fawn inks and card stock. I started out by stamping the big flower arrangement…
I took a break from whole card scenes for this next card in my Scene Colouring series, instead using a die to highlight a particular portion of a scene. It’s a great way to add an element to a card and as a bonus, doesn’t take as long as colouring a whole panel! My wedding-themed card today features the Happily…
I’m on the Seven Hills Crafts blog again today letting the good times roll with this coaster-themed birthday card featuring a couple of sets from Avery Elle: Peek-a-Boo Coaster, Peek-a-Boo Pals and Speech Bubbles. I started with the background, blending on some Broken China and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide inks in a gradient. Once dry, I stamped the big coaster track stamp along the bottom in…
I’m back on the Heffy Doodle blog today with another card in my Scene Colouring series. My birthday card today features the cute and punny Pasta La Vista stamp set and focuses on masking with Heffy Tape to create the scene. I started out by creating a mask so I could stamp out the pasta within the bowl. I used…
I’m over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with something a little more cheerful on this cold (and possibly snowy!) morning. My birthday card today features the Colorado Craft Company Big and Bold Sweet Friend Cupcake stamp set with a sentiment from the MFT Bitty Birthday Wishes set. This was a relatively quick card to create, thanks to the…
Now that Christmas is behind us, I wanted to make a start on this year’s birthday card stash. I wanted bright, colourful and full of happy animals! The person I intend to send this card to is a Jungle Book lover, so I selected some of the characters to feature in the scene. I had to get a little creative…
Not many sleeps ’til Santa now! I have another festive card for you today and the last in my Scene Colouring series on the Heffy Doodle blog. This time, I coloured up some playful penguins in a snowy scene. One was halfway through building a snowman until he saw a friend who couldn’t reach the post box. What could he…
I’m back with the next card in my Scene Colouring series. I’m definitely in the Christmas mood and this card is inspired by one of the all-time great Christmas songs: When Santa Got Stuck Up the Chimney! Plus, it uses a non-Christmas stamp set – Teacher’s Pet – to get the most out of your stash! This one needed a…
I have a festive ‘Jingle All the Way’ scene card over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today, featuring the MFT ‘Tis the Season stamp set and some no-line Copic colouring. I started out by stamping the Santa holding his sack of goodies onto some blending cardstock using some Lawn Fawn Jellyfish ink. This combo is perfect for no-line alcohol…
I’m over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with another festive card, this time featuring the MFT Joyous Holidays and ‘Tis the Season stamp sets. When you’re looking to make many cards but still keep that quality look, the simpler the scene the better! I stamped out the Santa, tree and reindeer image using some Lawn Fawn Jellyfish ink…
