Hello everyone and happy Monday! I have a clean and simple wedding card share up for you today.
I mounted the heart foiled white cardstock piece onto a pink toned card base. But before doing that, I mounted a pink patterned paper behind the die cut heart area. I then added a 49andMarket rub-on sentiment to the pink heart area. Next I decorated the heart with half pearls and paper flowers in one corner. I also added some pearly leaves next to the paper flower for decor.
I really like the effect the foiled heart paper creates. And the focal point without any other details around makes the card look more elegant.
Hello everyone and happy Friday! I have a clean and simple wedding card share up for you today.
I mounted the dry embossed, glossy/shiny white paper onto a piece of peach toned cardstock. But before that, I mounted a rose image behind the die cut heart area. Before adhering the paper on place I took a piece of white ribbon and added a 49andMarket rub-on sentiment to the ribbon. I then decorated it with a golden enamel heart. To add some more golden details, I added some half pearls around the die cut area.
The card is very simple in design and has plenty of white space in it. I love how elegant the shimmery dry embossed paper makes the card look.
Like on my art journal page (see details here) I used the tinted paste residues from that project for this card background. I placed the Rainbows 2 stencil onto a piece of white paper and wiped the tinted pastes thru it onto the paper very randomly. I then let the pastes dry and added some stamping with the Pencil Marks 8 stamp and a grey stamp ink.
On top of the paste I stamped with the Mix It Up 5 stamp set and the text stamp with brown ink. It adds an interesting detail to the stenciled surface. I finished the card off with a sticker sentiment and stamped flower and leaf images from the Pencil Marks 8 stamp set. I stamped onto a piece of music paper here too, to add more interest to the images.
This is a great way to use up any leftover pastes and to create interesting looking starting points for cards. I hope you like the idea and grab some pastes to make fun card backgrounds of your own.

Hello everyone & Happy 6th of May!!! This means it´s again time to share the STAMPlorations “Anything Goes” May challenge with you. The challenge starts today and goes until May 31st.
This is my take for the challenge reveal. A slimline card in pop art style. I used the Pop Art Faces paper goods from STAMPlorations as a focal point and added some Ephemeral Edges collage paper bits to the top and the bottom of the card.
Next I added some stamped words using the Hello You stamp set – also by STAMPlorations.
I hope I could inspire you to create some cards with the cool STAMPlorations paper goods and stamps. Also hoping to see you join the May challenge on their blog. Remember, to be eligible for prizes, you need to play by the rules (read them here).

Here is an inspirational card share to get your creative ideas going:
I used the Ephemeral Edges collage paper as my card background and then created a cluster of embellishments into the middle as a focal point. For that I used the STAMPlorations New Day clear stickers, some more Ephemeral Edges collage paper and green burlap, stickers, paper flowers and chipboard embellishments as well as some half pearls in different sizes. I also drew some faux stitching around the edges with a black pen.
The Ephemeral Edges paper is really great – it works as card backgrounds, for ATCs, in journals and tags. I just love this design!
Just in case you want to order some paper goods, here is a discount code for you to use:
For this months challenge I´ve created a card using the Ephemera Edges Collage paper as my card background paper. On top of that I´ve added plenty of stenciling thru various STAMPlorations stencils from my line there ( Lattice, Leaves 2, Clustered Hearts and Tapestry). On top of the stenciled ink layers I´ve also added a light pink texture paste layer thru one more stencil (Leaves 1).
The sentiments are “Hey Sunshine” clear stickers from the STAMPlorations collection and I´ve matted them onto inked paper strips to make them stand out more from the background. The flowers are hand drawn from my 100 day project back in 2024 (watch the video here).

Hello everyone and happy Tuesday! I have another Christening card share for you today:
I used various papers and stickers from my older stash to make this one. On the background is a light yellow lace print paper with some golden gel pen “faux stitching” around the edges.
On top some more yellow toned patterned paper with distressed edges and Gansai Tambi pigment golden droplets here and there. On top a fussy cut image, adhered to the paper with 3D-foam and some sticker butterflies and a paper rose.
Underneath the turtle, there is some lace and a border sticker and finally some orange toned glitter alphas for the sentiment.
Hello everyone! STAMPlorations has some gorgeous new ATC fronts out. I´ve created some cards with the new ATCs:
I started by creating gelli prints with ARTplorations stencils “Molecules”, “Evolution” and “Art Flowers 2” and my Gelli Arts gel plate. I used those collage papers as card backgrounds.
The second card also has a gelli printed collage paper background and a stamped sentiment (Hello You stamp set). As a centerpiece I used the gorgeous Whimsical Homes ATC card. Decorated with small white half pearls on each edge.
For the last card I´ve used another gelli printed collage paper as a background. As a centerpiece a Color Me Spring ATC butterfly card. I´ve also added a strip of Ephemeral Edges collage paper to the ATC and some clear stickers. As a decor element, again some white half pearls here and there. I also added some stamping to the collage paper with Distress Oxide Inks and Art Marks 3 stamp set.
I loved creating cards with these ATCs! They are sturdy 325 gr paper, so you could use them various purposes. And the designs and colors are just dreamy!!

Hello and happy Wednesday! I recently created a set of 50th birthday cards. This is what I ended up creating:
Both of them are for a woman, but she is not a girly, pink, flower girl. Thus the more “cool” designs. On this card I´ve used Dani Peuss papers on the background and some older chipboard and stickers from my stash. Plus some spray ink in black and a black gel pen.
Like the first one, the second is also a slimline format card:
For this one I used a Rubber Dance stencil (Leaves 2) with Distress Oxide Inks in various blue shades. I also added two types of American Crafts alpha stickers (foam and vinyl). I also used some black and golden pigment droplets as well as a piece of twine and a some chipboard stars and a stamped Stampin´ Up! sentiment. Stamped with a blue VersaFine Clair stamp ink.
Inside one of the cards I created a pocket for a gift card. The other one is without one. These were fun to make! I hope the recipient will also appreciate them ;-).
