Thanks So Much

Hi Creative Owls,

Today's card was made for a friend who did a HUGE favour for me. Thanks Sarah!

Every time I go to start a card I look at the Core'dinations cardstock and think hmmm can I get away with another card made with that? :) I just love it so much! So of course I used it on this card...guilty.

 

 



I stamped the Thanks So Much onto a window sheet with black Stazon Ink and put that in front of an embossed piece of Whisper White cardstock which I dabbed with the Champagne Shimmer Paint.

The flower is made with a few of the smallest framelit in the Floral Frames Framelits pack and one of the second size up.

Secret Garden Birthday Card

Hello Creative Owls!

I love when a stamp set has either a punch or framelits that coordinate with it because it makes creating a card so much easier and faster! Today's card uses Secret Garden from Stampin' UP! which has a matching set of framlits. Yey!

I love the spring colours, Subtles Collection from Stampin' UP!. I recently got the Pool Party Core'dinations and have been using it on EVERYTHING :) I can't seem to use it without sanding it but hey that's what it's for right? ;)

To create the colour in the flowers I used sponge daubers and heavily sponged the middle and then lightly did circles out toward the edges.. For the leaf I used Wild Wasabi Embossing powder. Very simple but very pretty.

Also, I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig for the Happy Birthday so it was perfectly placed.

Welcome to my Blog!

Hi! My name is Meghan and I have been a stamping enthusiast for a couple of years now however, this is the first time I will be blogging my little projects for all to see! I hope you will find inspiration here and enjoy your visit!

The Very First Card

I recently got the Dress Up framelits from Stampin UP! and absolutely LOVE them. They remind me of when I was a kid and used to dress up my paper dolls (remember those?) With these framelits you can make any pattern of dress and even add belts (with ribbon) and necklaces (with pearls/rhinestones). The possibilities are endless!

I also used the absolutely a-maz-ing Honeycomb embossing folder from Stampin' UP!. This little guy is reeeally fun to use! I used the Core'dinations cardstock (Stampin' UP) and sanded it to create the two tone look. Very cool right?

 Here it is:

I love how much texture the sanding creates. Any time I get the chance to use the technique I do :)
I should also mention that I sponged over the embossing at the bottom with Whisper White craft ink to make it stand out.
