Card With No Stamping

 Thank you for joining me today!

Happy Birthday Stuart!


As the title say's no stamping, with just die cutting, this is what you can achieve. 
I blended a piece of basic white card stock with the two colours making a marble type effect before die cutting the stars & letters. The simply scored scoring tool was used to make the grooves down the front of the card, then used stampin' blends to darken every other groove.

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: basic white, misty moonlight, soft sea foam
Dies: playful alphabet, stitched stars (2,4,5) , well written
Ink: misty moonlight, soft sea foam
Stampin' Blends: soft sea foam 
Accessories: *bakers twine, blending brushes, holiday rhinestones, simply scored scoring tool
* = no longer available, when using layering dies (1) is the smallest

Zany Zebras waterfall card

 Thank you for joining me today!


Happy 3rd Birthday Freddie, where does the time go!

This is my version of a card created by Lisa Cursio (lisasstampstudio.com) I had to make it a little bit bigger, hence the scalloped base for the card (nsu). Once I worked out the measurements I wanted, it was very straight forward to complete. At the time of making this card only the ribbon and tag punch were retired.

I think this is the best waterfall card I've made so far!  
Sorry it's a bit photo heavy.





There is also a zebra stamped on the pull mechanism, just loved this set and didn't get to use it as much as I'd have liked to.

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: basic white, calypso coral, night of navy
Designer Series Paper: *playing with patterns
Dies: playful alphabet *stitched shaped frames (4)
Embossing Folders: hammered metal 3D
Ink: calypso coral, coastal cabana, crushed curry, night of navy
Punches: *classic label, *scallop tag topper
Ribbon: *sycamore street satin
Stampin' Markers: calypso coral, coastal cabana, crushed curry, night of navy
Stamp Sets:  a grand kid, *family party, *zany zebras 
* = retired, when using layering dies (1) is the smallest
