Feel Better


I decided that in addition to posting cute cards created with new stamp sets, I should create cute cards with old sets!  First up is Lawn Fawn's On The Mend stamp set.  The cards are quite simple.  On the white cardstock layer I stamped the tissue box first,  I then stamped another tissue box on typing paper, cut it out and placed it on top of the stamped image that is on the cardstock.  I inked up the vase/flower image and stamped it, overlapping the tissue box a little.  I took off the mask and now it looks like the vase is in back of the tissue box.  I used Copic markers to color, using light gray Copics to add shadows under the stamped images.  I layered each stamped panel on a coordinating color of cardstock before adhering to the card base.   Definitely clean and simple and cute, too!  Have a great weekend!

Cup of Cocoa

Yesterday was a glass of hearts and today is a mug of hot cocoa.  The image on today's post is another Elizabeth Craft Designs die set, Hot Chocolate.  This one was much quicker to assemble.  After cutting the pieces and sponging the edges, I adhered the pieces to a red cardstock packet I made.  Inside the packet is a pack hot cocoa mix,  As you pull up the ribbon, the cocoa mix appears.   The bottom of the packet is adhered together with score tape and then a crimper tool.  This cup of hot chocolate is very cute.  I wish it was a little smaller.  Have a great day!

Glass of Hearts

Even though I have a few more cute bird cards to show, I decided to share a cute Valentine I made.  The card was created using dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs and assorted punches. The die set is Summer Drink and it shows a cute Mason Jar glass filled with lemonade. limes, ice cubes~~adorable!  And then in a little corner it shows the Mason Jar glass filled with hearts.  So I set out to make something similar.  It is cute, but it did take a while to complete.  Maybe future cards using this die set will take less time as I have a better idea as to what needs to be done.  Next time, I for sure will make the label the same color as the background layer of the card.  (I will also adhere the glass straighter~~lol!)  Have a great day!
