Simon Says: Food and/or Drink

Hello! I'm back today to take part in the latest Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: 

Simon Says: Food and/or Drink

These Mama Elephant's little dogs are so cute. My son and I coloured them and I fuzzy-cut the coloured images to dance around an elegant birthday sentiment from JustRite. I heat embossed the birthday sentiment with Ranger blue glitter embossing powder and love the effect. Unfortunately, I am unable to fully capture the glitter of the sentiment in my photo. 

I decided to create my own background with a diagonal strips background stamp and Hero Arts ombre ink. This was my first successful attempt at using the Hero Arts ombre ink pad and I must thank my WRMK stamping tool! 

Lastly, I used the same ombre ink to stamp a sentiment from Penny Black inside the card and stuck another cute dog next to the sentiment. 

Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a great time!

Hi! Today's blog is a birthday card that has the sentiment as the focal point. 

I stamped, coloured and fuzzy-cut these cute puppies from Mama Elephant and adhered them around the sentiment. 

I also included some buttons I had in my stash, with one of the buttons acting as a ball for the juggling puppy.

Lastly, I included a sentiment and a puppy inside the card. 

Overall, this is a cute card that I enjoyed making for the recipient. 

I'm submitting this card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Furry Friends. 

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a good day!

Hello!

I'm back today to share a cute birthday card I made for someone who adores owls.

I created this card pretty fast as I already had the design in mind. I don't know about other crafters but I usually spend more time planning a card instead of the actual making of the card. Lol

I adhered a doily to a 6" by 6" kraft cardbase before sticking the sentiment and the owls around the sentiment. After that, I die-cut a circle on the white textured card front, covered the circle with acetate and tied some twine around the card front before using foam tape to stick it down.

I had created this card with white cardstock as I wanted the focus to be on the colourful owls, and this coincidentally fitted in with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge's theme, Snow White. Hence, I'm submitting this card for the challenge.

Have a good week ahead. It's already Wednesday!
