I made a rude card, and I love it. It was simple to make and I love love love the stamp. I bought this card with my best bud in mind. She loves cats and has the type of sense of humor this stamp was made for (this is the same recipient of the cat butthole card). The above video is me putting it together. I’ll post the finished result below.
I might colour in the woman and the cat if I make the card again. Right now I’m loving it the way it is.
I made this Halloween card from recent stamps, that came in the mail. I knew I was going to love this one and I did. It makes a quick and simple card and I like how it turned out.
I made another card today.
Sorry my photos are blurry. I used this embossing folder and mermaid stamp and die set I got on Aliexpress. I also used parts of the sea themed Hero Arts kit I got awhile back.
I used a water brush and ink pads to colour the mermaid, then embossed the sparkly paper with the fish scale embossing folder. I adhered it to a plain craft card base and glued on the mermaid and sea floor. I added a sentiment and stuck on a couple embellishments.
This rainy long weekend day was a great day to get some outgoing mail made. The firefly card is for my in laws and the heart card for my parents. The grey card is currently in my mini library with a gift card to the local bakery.
I tried using the July 2020 Hero Arts kit to make this under the sea card, but I need to fix the dolphins. I stamped them lopsided.
Another mail delivery and experimenting with making cards. The big package contained stamps and cutting dies and I love them.
I love love love this camping stamp and die set and I know to exactly whom I’ll be sending the first card to.
The smaller package contained this camera cutting die. I used it to work with the lawn fawn magic iris cutting (the pink circle in the photo).
The tab to open and close the Magic Iris isn’t long enough, but I can make it longer to work with it. I though I should have a more appropriate use for this cutting die then just my previous one.
This isn’t everyone’s sense of humor, but the recipient loved it. My nieces’ birthday is coming up and a cat butt card is definitely not appropriate. I’ll use the camera die instead.
I wanted to try out my new blending brushes I received earlier this week and chose the Gina K tutorial.
Sorry for the blurry photos! This background reminds me of Joe Exotic the Tiger King guy. I wish I had a tiger stamp, but unfortunately, I did not. Instead, I gave it an 80s vibe.
I went to visit my parents this weekend, for the first time since COVID. It was so great to see them, but nerve-racking and second-guessing myself if it was safe enough yet. We were distanced, wore masks, and stayed outside. I would like to see them again soon and will use the same precautions.
I made this card using bleach, with a technique I learned on YouTube, using a Gina K tutorial. I liked the way it turned out and will be mailing it to my folks on Monday.
I got a new cutting die in the mail on Friday and experimented with a new card. I paired it with an embossing folder that also arrived recently. The embossing folder reminds me of a car tire, as well as the knitting pattern it was designed as. The card I made does NOT suit the weather and I’m still having trouble with heat embossing, but whatevs. I’m still learning and having fun with it.
