Wishes – January 2018 Paper Smooches Challenge

If you haven’t noticed the latest badge on the sidebar of my blog yet,then let me happily and proudly update you…I was the winner of  Paper Smooches December challenge and also got an awesome US$50  to buy awesome goodies at their online store(already spent… ha ha..!!)_

Today’s card is my entry for the Paper Smooches January 2018 Challenge and since the theme was ‘anything goes’, I pulled out my very favorite dog stamp from the Woofers & Tweeters set as well as the Seeing Stars set to create the background…

I started by creating the front panel of my card using some Distress Inks…I sponged in the following shades – tumbled glass,blueprint sketch,wilted violet,chipped sapphire and black soot…I also sprinkle some water for effect..I then randomly stamped the star stamps all over the panel using Versamark ink and the heat embossed them using some silver embossing powder…I then adhered this panel to a plain white card base…

On a separate piece of white cardstock I stamped the dog image using Versafine black ink and then heat embossed it using clear embossing powder…I coloured it in and die cut using the coordinating die and placed it on my card front using some adhesive foam squares…

I stamped the sentiment on a small white banner using purple ink and layered it with a larger purple glitter label and adhered them to my card as well…then using the same purple glitter cardstock,I die cut a few stars and used them to embellish my card….I have used foam squares under these stars for a bit of dimension..

Thank you for your visit…I’m glad you stopped by my blog today…Have a wonderful day ahead…!!

Wishing You Were Here

Whether you are a new to card making or just looking for ideas to try, Jennifer McGuire’s blog is a great classroom for everyone…I have learnt so much from watching her tutorials and trying out the techniques she teaches…I watch all her videos even if I don’t have the items she’s using as she gives  out a lot of hints,suggestions and tips in her tutorials..

For today’s card I followed her tutorial for Coordinating Die Masking technique…all I had to do was stamp the image directly onto the top white layer and then mask it off with a coordinating die cut…I sponged around and over it with distress ink and took off the mask….I then coloured in the image using my Spectrum Noir markers..

The top layer has been die cut using stitched rectangle die and after the sentiment was been stamped,I adhered it to the bright blue card base..I have also used a few clear sequins to embellish the card…

I really like the white border around the image created by the masking…Here’s a closer look at the stamped and masked image…

Thanks for visiting today…Have a happy and crafty day…!!

PS Woofers And Tweeters – For My Best Pal

I’m sure I will be using the Paper Smooches Woofers And Tweeters stamp set quite a lot but for now this is the last of the 6 cards that I have made using it….I have spent a bit of time on this card and created the colourful background for this card using distress inks and a fun technique taught by Jennifer McGuire called – Masked Stripes

The card base is plain orange and the top layer is white on which I have created the stripes using distress inks…I then die cut three polaroid frames from white cardstock and stuck them together and used a photo sleeve to create the shaker element which I placed behind the polaroid frame….

The sentiment is stamped directly on the polaroid frame….I have cut out a coloured in image of the cute dog and placed a few presents on the tip of its nose and placed these on top of the shaker pocket….

I really like how the colourful stripy background turned out….hope you do too…

Thanks for visiting today…Have a lovely & blessed day ahead….Happy crafting…!!

PS Woofers And Tweeters – A Birdie Told Me

I am quite happy to share today’s card with you….this card has been added to my very small list of cards where everything went as planned….it is the 5th card I made using the Paper Smooches Woofers and Tweeters stamp set…

The card base is plain green and the top layer is plain white…on the top layer I have used mowed lawn distress ink to create the grass and salty ocean distress ink and a cloud mask to create the clouds…I then stamped the sentiment and the road strip using black ink…

On a separate piece of cardstock,I stamped coloured in and cut out the dog,bird and fire hydrant images and placed them on the card…and the card was ready…

Thanks for stopping by to take a look…Have a blessed day…!!

PS Woofers And Tweeters – You’re The Best

The only thing that took a bit of time to make this card was the watercolour smoosh background that needed to dry….once that was done,the card came together pretty quickly….I have used another cute dog image using the Paper Smooches Woofers and Tweeters stamp set…

The card base is plain purple and the top layer has been die cut from watercolour paper using the stitched rectangle die….I then used cracked pistachio distress ink and water to create the smooshed background and quickly dried it with a heat gun…

I cut up strips from four different decorative tapes and adhered them to the top layer….the sentiment is stamped on a silver strip of cardstock and placed just above these tapes…

On a separate piece of white cardstock I stamped and coloured in the little dog image and then die cut it and placed it above the decorative tapes…

Thanks for visiting today…Have a lovely & blessed day ahead….Happy crafting…!!

Today’s card has my favourite image from the Paper Smooches Woofers and Tweeters stamp set….this little dog is very very cute…

I then stamped,coloured in and cut out the image of the cute dog and the little pup and placed them at the base of the card…
