May "Quick Ideas" - Embossing

When you need a quick card, try matching a rubber stamp image to the design on a scrap of pattern paper.  I stamped the sketched daisy flower onto the same paper and embossed with white powder. The full tutorial can be found HERE.

New BPM Flower Stamps

These newly released sketched daisy flowers are just so cute and versatile. I stamped them with inks to match this scrap of patterned paper.  Next, I did a bit of fussy cutting to bring them to life. With the help of a white gel pen, I added some faux stitching to the edge.

Creative Embellishments May Challenge

Hey There,
I hope you enjoy my project inspired by the Creative Embellishments May Challenge and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.  I got my idea to use shades of dusty blue on the man's suit and to create a worn brick background splattered with dusty blue raindrops. This provided a nice contrast between the feminine broach / flower accents and the rougher more masculine background.

That's Crafty May Challenge - layout

Hey, thanks for stopping by.
I wanted to share my knew layout called "A Quiet Moment." This layout was the perfect project to submit for the That's Crafty Challenge. Because of the quilt like appearance calico fabrics on the background papers, I chose to add faux stitching around two of the photos. Using a white gel pen, I was able to tie together the theme nicely and accentuate that homemade feel.

The winner will receive a £30 voucher to spend in the online shop and our Top 3 will receive a stencil/s of their choice from our own That's Crafty! brand.

Ombre Background

If you feel intimidated by stamping backgrounds, fear no more.  One stamp and an ombre ink pad are all you need.  You can create stunning backgrounds with little effort that make even a beginner appear to be an expert.  My best tip is to make sure you rotate the position of the stamp on the ink pad in order to load it with slightly different color combinations with each new impression.  This card is entered in...

I'll Stand By You Flamingo Card

Hello Girls,
Stamping onto pattern paper provides a quick solution if you are not fond of the labor & time intensive task of coloring in images. By cleverly combining pattern papers, there was minimal effort to create this card with maximum impact.  Then, I just added a sassy sentiment to finish it off.  Happy Stamping!

Supplies:
  • black ink pad

Eye of the Beholder ATC

"Keep it simple" was my motto for these ATC's.  No glitter, no 3D embellishements...I just added a bit of Glossy Accents Clear Dimensional Paint to the eye.  I love my rainbow ink pad because it does all the work for me and creates so much interest and depth.

Quick Thank You Card

We all have those last minute occasions that catch us unprepared.  When you are struggling to create a card for the unexpected... all you need is patterned paper, a large sentiment, a bit of trim, and a cute flower stamp. I heat embossed with white powder and fussy cut it to create my own simple embellishment.  You will be amazed at what you can create from such few supplies.
