Peek-A-Boo Birthday Card

Hello everyone! Today I have a card I made for Addicted to stamp to share with you. This month theme is

FOR A BOY/MAN

I decided to make a fun card for a birthday boy. I had seen a tutorial of peek-a-boo card so I tried to create one. I used kraft and blue color combo which would be perfect for a boy. I created the paw-print pattern on kraft paper using stamp from Marianne Design and clear embossing powder. The main image stamps are from Lili of the Valley Kitten Trio Presents stamp set and sentiment stamps.

The stamped images were colored with distress ink. I also used sentiments and letter stamps from Fiskars, Newton’s Nook, Hero Arts, and Penny Black to decorate the card.

I hope you like my card today. Thank you for stopping by.

Hot Sunshine Flower

Hello everyone! To share with you today is the card I made for Addicted to stamp May challenge. The theme is

Flowers

At first, I planned to create a pastel sweet floral card. As the time I made this card, the temperature in my hometown had risen to 38 deg C (above 100 deg F). The super-hot temperature inspired me to create summer-theme flower card instead. Here it is.

I used stamp from Hero Arts “Newspaper Flower” which I had on shelf for years. The sentiment stamp is from Lily of the Valley. The leaf was hand-drawn. The patterned paper is from gift wrapping paper.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful sunshine day.

Houses Tri-Fold Card

Hello everyone! To share with you today is the card I made for new Addicted to stamp challenge. This month theme is

Lots of Layers (Paper or Stamps)

I picked one of the stamps I had on shelf for years but never had a chance to use it. I created a simple tri-fold card using Art Impressions Suburb Tryfold stamp set. When each panel folds together, it creates layers of houses and fit this theme.

I colored the image with watercolor and distress ink.

The sentiment is also included in this stamp set.

I would like to enter this card to these challenges.

• As You Like It Challenge - Favourite Colouring Medium. I love to use distress ink and water colour. They are easy to blend and can be mixed to get different shades of colours.

Let’s start my first post this year with the card I made for Addicted to Stamps last month challenge themed Spring.

I picked this “Think Spring Bunnies” from Whimsy Stamp for this project. I decorated the card with many die cuts from Doohickey and Lawn Fawn. The pattern paper is from Pion Design.

I colored the stamped image with distress ink adding different colors for each bunny.

The card is also decorated with paper flowers to represent spring.

That’s a brief start for today. I will come back tomorrow with my new project for new Addicted to Stamps challenge. Thank you for stopping by.

I also decorated the card with trims, ribbon, and pearls.

The image is Magnolia “Tilda with Heart Ribbon Scarf” stamp from a special collection. I colored the stamped image with distress ink in pink & blue color combo. I also added snowflake sequins around Tilda like falling snow.

Animal Banner Interactive Birthday Card

Hello! Today I have a card to share with you. I made this card for Addicted Stamps challenge reminder post. The theme is

Balloons, Bunting, and or Presents

Christmas Window card

Hello! To share with you today is the card I made for Addicted to Stamps last challenge of 2017. We will come back in 2018 with some little changes. By the way, the theme for this year last challenge is

Season’s Greeting

I have made this window card to fit this challenge theme. I designed the card layout like a house decorated with Christmas wreath and garland. Looking through the window, we can see three cats helping each other decorating Christmas tree outside the house.

I used the stamp from Crafter’s Companion Mulberry Wood. This stamp is called “Purr’fect Christmas”. I colored the image with distress ink. The cats’ colors are exactly the same as my three cats. I also added some glitters on snow, garland, and star and applied some snow paste on the falling snow. The window was made from acetate sheet which I stenciled little snowflakes with gesso.

I decorated the top part with cute Christmas wreath, garland die cut from Doohickey volume 17, and Impression Obsession Holly Leaf Cluster die cuts.

As this is the window card, the front cover is clear and the image is inside the card. The top part is the blank space to write greeting message.

Autumn Bird

Hello everyone! Today I have a card created for Addicted to Stamps challenge to share with you. The theme is

Anything Goes with Flowers

I decided to make an autumn themed card with flowers decoration. I used red and brown as the main colors since they represented fall season. The patterned paper is from Magnolia. I added brick pattern with embossing paste to match with the image.

I used the new Magnolia stamp which I still don’t know the name yet. I masked this Tilda and little bird with the old Magnolia “Romantic Window” stamp from You Are So Special 2011 collection. The coloring medium is distress ink.

I decorated the card with some feathers, and red & brown paper flowers. The birdhouse die cut is from Spellbinders.

I added the fence die cut with trellis and red paper roses to match with the image. These die cuts are from Doohickey.

This bird die cut is from Doohickey volume 7. I cut this cute bird on blue patterned paper to match with the image. The feather die cuts are from Magnolia Vintage Box 5.

The sentiment is also the stamp from Magnolia Vintage Box 5.

Animated Unicorn Birthday Card

Hello crafty friends! It’s my turn today to share the card I made for Addicted to Stamp challenge. The theme is

Stamp Your Background

(e.g. Make a scene, or stamp your own patterned paper)

I decided to make a fun birthday card using two different unicorn stamps. One is Uchi’s Design Animation Unicorn clear stamp and another is Magnolia “Unicorn” stamp from I Believe in Unicorns 2017 collection. Initially, I designed the animation unicorn to be a background. However, I think it would draw some attentions and may be too focal. So I decided to stamp my own patterned paper using Hero Arts Basic Grey Diamond Zig Zag Background cling stamp and heat embossed with pastel pink, blue, and purple embossing powder. I decorated the card with minimal embellishments as I think CAS style would be perfect for this card.

I colored the unicorn with distress ink using the same color combo as the background. The sentiment is the stamp from LOTV.

The fun part of this card is to see the animation unicorn moves. At first, I planned to use the colored unicorn to trigger the animation. However, I didn’t work out like I imagined. I decided to leave as it was. At least, the animation grid can be slid and you can see the unicorn animation in the video below.

Beach Relaxation

Hello everyone! Today I have a new project to share. It is a card I created for the new challenge at Addicted to Stamps. The theme is

Summer/ Beaches

I have been missing for almost a month to take care of my cat who is sick with chronic kidney disease. Now she is getting better. She can eat and spends her daily life almost like normal. I feel relieved so I created this card to tell myself to relax.

I used Magnolia “Hawaii Tilda” stamp from Capturing Moments 2016 collection. I colored Tilda’s hair in black to represent a Hawaiian girl. The background image is Magnolia “Romantic Sunset” stamp from Wedding 2010 collection. I used chunky white embossing enamel as the sea wave bubbles.

I decorated the card with coconut tree die cut from Magnolia Doohickey which was originally paired with Hawaii Tilda stamp. The alphabet die cuts are from Die-Versions.

I made these flowers in yellow-orange color to match with the Hawaii Tilda image. I used Doohickey Peonies dies to cut out these petals. The leaves are also from Doohickey Sprawling Ferns.

I would like to enter this card to these challenges.
