Spread Your Wings Card

Hi Bloggers,

Today I’d like to share a leaving card that I made for a colleague at work.

I chose a Kraft card for the background that had a grid pattern on it. Then I stamped a honeycomb pattern randomly in two opposite corners.

I used a Fran-tage Embossing Enamel to create the molten gold effect – my current obsession!!!

The large mat is cut at 7” using the Cricut Elegant Edges cartridge and I used the same Fran-tage Embossing Enamel around the edges.

The cogs were cut at 2” from the Cricut Paper Lace 2 cartridge. I covered one with Distress Embossing Powder (love the texture!) and the other with the Fran-tage Embossing Enamel sprinkled with Fran-tage Glass Glitter in Champagne. As the enamel melts, the glitter becomes embedded and the enamel acts as glue – it’s gorgeous!

The main image is made using 3 stamps. First, I stamped the dress. Then I masked it and stamped both the wings.

I used Promarkers to colour the image and sprinkled Fran-tage Embossing Enamel on the skirt.

The text is made using tiny letter stamps.

Hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Steampunk Card

Hi Bloggers,


I'm having a run on cards at the moment and thought I'd share a steampunk one I made using one of my favourite stamps (by Kanban).

I used Promarkers to colour in the image.
The mat is a piece of patterned paper, embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder, and highlighted with distress ink in Walnut Stain.

The cogs were cut with my Cricut using the Paper Lace 2 cartridge.
I cut them all from black card. Then I covered one with a gold embossing powder and two with Vintage Photo distress embossing powder.

Music Inspired Birthday Card

Hi Bloggers,
I made a card for a good friend of mine that I'd like to share with you.

The mats were cut using the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge and I used a music stamp to create the background pattern on the white layer (with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink).

I cut the pianist from the Quarter Note cartridge and embossed the top layer with a swirl design.

The flowers and leaves are from the Flower Shoppe cartridge. I shaped and layered them before adhering to the card.

I covered the swirls and text with glossy accents and also added Stickles glitter glue on the burgundy mat and brad.

Hope you like it.
Thanks for stopping by.
