World Cardmaking Day

Do you know what day it is? It’s World Cardmaking Day which gives me a great excuse to hide up in my craft room all day. It also helps that it’s cold, cloudy, windy and suppose to rain today! Hello coffee and crafting! Today I have a card that was again directly inspired from Big Picture Classes. This class was on clean and simple card making by Erin Taylor.

I used Glacier Exclusive Ink™ and a cloud stencil from The Crafter Workshop on a piece of white cardstock to create the background. I then used Black Pigment Ink, Clear Embossing Powder and a Hero Arts Stamp & Die combo to create the butterflies. I then colored the butterflies using ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Markers (P83 Lavender, P282 Peony Purple, Y222 Golden Yellow, YR24 Marigold, Colorless Blender). The sentiment is stamped on a piece of scrap paper from my stash using the stamp set included in the Artfully Sent Cricut® Collection, Black Exclusive Ink™ and a rub-on from Making Memories. I wanted to add some bling to the cards but didn’t have the colors I needed so I colored the Clear Sparkles using the  Lavender & Golden Yellow ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Markers. I mounted this piece of white cardstock onto a top folding white card base.

Sangria + Watercolor

About 6 months ago I joined Big Picture Classes. I’m in love. So many great classes, tutorials, and inspiration.  One of the classes that is available is a watercolor class and the layout I have to show you today is directly inspired from that class.

CTMH: Sangria + Watercolor (BPC inspired)

Please click on the photos to enlarge so you can get the full detail of this awesome leaf stamp set!!!

This is a little unlike my normal style. I’m typically very clean and simple. This layout has multiple layers, paint splatters, and a lot of embellies. After I assembled the layout I felt that my pictures were drowning in the busyness. I added hand stitching around the photos to help draw your eyes to the pictures. Those sweet, sweet pictures of my then 3 year old. Now I will try my best to give you the names of the materials used for this layout, but I’ve recently reorganized my papercrafting stash after I viewed this BPC on time management. I actually took the product out of the packaging which makes the products super accessible but difficult to name!!
