Make a Wish!

Hello everyone! 

Welcome to my blog!  It certainly is hard to believe that it is almost the end of August.  Where did the summer go?  Today I am showcasing the Make A Wish Digital Stamp Set from Joy Clair Designs.  This set is so versatile!  I have seen it used on the popular slimline cards a lot, so today I wanted to make an A2 size card with it.  This could be used for any celebration!!!

To make this card, I started out with an alcohol ink blended panel from my stash cut to 4 inches by 5 1/4 inches.  I printed the digital stamp on 80# card stock.  I cut the present image in half  so I could stack them on top of each other.  I used a gold metallic pen to color in the ribbons and bows on the presents.  I fussy cut the balloons, watercolored them, and used a gold shimmer pen to make them shine. I cut out the celebrate sentiment. I glued the back row of presents to the panel then popped up the front row of presents with foam tape.  I drew in a few lines to make it look like the presents were all complete with a thin line marker.  I glued the sentiment to the top, popped up one of the balloons over part of the sentiment, and glued the other two balloons below it.  I drew in the strings to the balloons with my black marker. I then glued this panel to a white  A2 card base.  This card will be great for any celebration.  All I have to do is write my message inside and mail it.  I love having cards on hand in my stash. 

Digital stamps are so fun to work with and take up no room at all in your crafty space. I have linked this stamp set below.

Fun with Floral Friendship by Joy Clair Designs

Hello and welcome!

It is hard to believe it is August already.  The time seems to be going by so quickly.  I wanted to take time and enjoy the flowers.  Today I am showcasing the Floral Friendship Digital Stamp Set from Joy Clair's August release.  This set contains four beautiful flowers and four perfect sentiments.

To make this card I ink blended a piece of white card stock in the rainbow order.  I cut it out with a slimline die from my stash.  I glued this to a piece of glitter card stock cut to the same size as the die cut. The frame cut separately from the diagonal piece, so I turned it in the opposite direction for  an added  touch.  I fussy cut two flower images and two sentiments out from the set.  I loosely colored this images with Copic Markers to give them a whimsical look.  You can see this in the picture below.

I glued the flowers to the middle of the card and the sentiments on the top and bottom.This divided the card into thirds, which is more visibly appealing to the eye.  I cut a white card base to 7 1/2 inches by 8 3/4 inches, folded it in half, and glued the decorated panel to it.  Since the card was on a glitter card stock, I felt it was busy enough so I did not add any extra embellishments.  I love how this turned out.  If you don't have a slimline die to use, just cut out the rainbow blended piece and adhere the flowers on it.  That would look beautiful too!
