Love Birds Framed in a Kiss green and aqua card

The background paper is a thin glitter paper by DO Crafts. I don’t like how much it sheds! The Coordinations cardstock is from my stash. The frames and the birds die cuts by K and Co. The little heart is by Lawn Fawn. Thanks for looking. 

Manly Monday Owl Card

The owl stamp is unknown but the owl shadow is cut using my Cricut Wild Card cartridge.

The die-cut behind the owl is a wallpaper sample cut out with a DO Crafts die. The wood grain patterned paper is by Crate Papers. 

The sentiment is by Hampton Arts. 

The leaf stamps are from Stampin Up stamped with Creamy Caramel ink.

Thanks for looking.

Bright Birthday greetings

Here are some very bright and busy birthday cards. For all of them I used a brayer over multiple colored ink set by Tsukineko. The also all have ribbon by May Arts with an Around the Block brad in each one. 

1st and 2nd cards have a square punch (CM) dry embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.

Then I colored in the present with powdered chalk and paint.  

Behind the squares is a purple (Bazzill) die cut by DO Objectives.

Then this last one the Stampemndous butterfly

 was stamped with Tsukneko black ink

 and colored with Copic markers

The die cut behind the butterfly is by Dreamweavers Stencil

the circle behind is Making Memories patterned paper 

that is dry embossed with Darice folder 

all of that is on top of a white Spellbinders die (Beaded circles die)

Thanks for looking.

Thank You with Inlay Die Cutting

Today I have three cards to share with you. They are a rainbow of colors and use the inlay die cutting technique. I learned this technique from the wonderful Jennifer McGuire which you can learn on her You Tube video. She uses hearts but I had these flower shaped dies by DO Crafts in my stash that were getting zero love. I felt this technique really made these dies invaluable and gave them new life.

The patterned papers I used by Studio G are a little busy but I just went with it and thought they would brighten someones day. So you can watch the video to get the technique and I'll just finish by telling you the stamps I used for these cards and tell you the black ink is by Hero Arts. I also used a Wink of Stella pen on all the raised die cuts. The first one uses a thank you stamp by The Paper Company Studio.

The second stamp is by American Crafts.

The third card uses a different stamp set by The Paper Company Studio.

Here's a look at all three.

Thanks for looking.
