BOOM "It's your birthday"

Today I am sharing a card I made using the Superheros stamp set from For the love of stamp by Hunkydory.

I decided to make a black and white retro looking birthday card to add to my stash, I find it can be hard to create cards for men and teenagers but with these stamps it's so much fun.

I added two layers of silhouette buildings, one on foam pads to add dimension, the building were heat embossed using WOW embossing powder to add a strong glossy finish.

I stamped and heat embossed the male and female superheros in the centre of the card to give the impression that they have come together to celebrate the birthday.

Now a superhero card wouldn't be complete without a BOOM! and BAM! stamped somewhere. I added the stamped panel on to a black card centring it and leaving a small black border at the vertical edges.

I hope you like the card as much as I do.

Who doesn't love a cactus card or two?

Well it's Monday and in my opinion the weekend went way to fast!

There nothing I like more than a stroll around a garden centre or two at the weekend with my family and of course a cup of tea and cake as a little treat....

Well that reminded me that I hadn't share 2 of my cards featuring Cactus and succulents.

We have an ever growing collection of cactus and succulents in our house and love hunting out new varieties, when I saw these stamps from Hunkydory's for the love of stamps range I had to get them. 

This fist card uses the plant images to create a backing paper, I used some bendable coloured pencils to bring the stamped images to life. I added my sentiment onto a couple of black squares of card which I layered up to add dimension and interest.

For this card I used the same images but this time I added them to a sandy desert floor rather than using the plant pots.  I love the Puny sentiments that accompany the images.

Thats all from me for now, I'm off to plant up some pot for my front garden.

Dino Day

Today I am sharing some Dinosaur themed cards.

My daughter and her friend are a little Dino crazy and after a week of mock exams I treated her to a set of Dino Friend stamps from Hunkydorys For the love of stamps.

After a couple of hours stamping, colouring and cutting here's what I made.

 

I love a clean and simple card and this is just that. 2 dinos stamped, coloured, cut and mounted on a card.

This one is a little bit of fun, I can't tell if her looks like he's running after someone or way from something.

Now I saved my favourite till last, I stamped and water coloured the background and then stamped,water coloured and fussy cut the dinosaur. It's so simple and clean and it's going nowhere, I'm keeping it as I love it so much.

Sorry to hear you're under the weather

Today I am sharing a cute shaker card created with the "Brighten your day" stamp set from "For the Love of stamps"

I created a circle shaker card filled with sequins. Using the cloud stamps I stamped them out onto white card, coloured them using Colorista Alcohol pens and fussy cut them.  They were mounted on foam tape across the top of the circle.  I then stamped, heat embossed and fussy cut the umbrella.

I thought it would be fun to have the umbrella hovering over the sentiment in the bottom corner.

As luck would have it I am actually under the weather at the moment but making this card has cheered me up.

I'll be back later in the week with more crafty makes.

Morning guys

Today I am sharing a card I made with the stamps from the recent "For the love of stamps" release from Hunkydory.

One of the items in the release was a magazine with a stamp set. I loved the stamps and wanted to make something a little bit different so decided on a card for a poorly friend.

I started by stamping the sentiment in the lower right side in black ink and the stamped some clouds.

I coloured the clouds grey with a Promarker pen.  I then stamped some rain drops and a puddle in blue ink and added Glossy accents on top to give dimension.

I love how the glossy accents give a wet look to the rain drops and the feel of the raised sections also give a tactile element to the card.

I mated the main image on to a shimmery blue card stock and then onto a 5x7 card blank.

I have a few more ideas for the stamp set and will share them with you in the near future.

Have a super Bank holiday weekend
