60th birthday slimline card

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! Today I´m stopping by to share another birthday card with you. This time for a 60th birthday celebration.

I used different little paper strips on the slimline card base. Adhered those on place and then added some thread in yellow and orange.

After that I die cut plenty of butterflies from a misted piece of paper. I misted it orange first. After die cutting, I arranged the butterflies to fly along the threads (this way the thread stays on place). Next I added some tiny paper flowers and half pearls. I also decorated the butterflies with half pearls for more interest and texture. Next I added some golden pigment splatters here and there.

For finishing touches I stamped happy birthday wishes in german (by Rubber Dance) and adhered “60” in blue Thickers to the card.

I hope the recipient likes her card – fingers crossed!

Perfect Pairs Blooms & Sunshine cards – STAMPlorations

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! This time I am stopping by to share a few more cards created with the Perfect Prairs Blooms and Sunshine stamp and ephemera set by STAMPlorations.

For this card I´ve used the Old Letter Pocket Backdrops paper as my starting point. After that I used yellow and pink Distress Oxide inks to stamp the ink splatter images with the Blooms & Sunshine stamp set onto the paper. I then added paper flowers in similar colors in clusters and adhered half pearls into the middle of each flower. For a centerpiece I stamped the stamp sentiment on pink paper and adhered it on place.

For the second card I first inked the white card base with old paper Distress Oxide Ink tone, then placed the Modern Envelops stencil onto the background and wiped some green ink thru it.

Next I chose a focal image from the ephemera that comes in the set and adhered it with 3D-foam onto the card base. In addition I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock and inked the edges to match the look of the focal image. I also added some black outlining around the card to repeat the black lines also on the card edges.

I had so much fun making these cards! It´s so easy and fun to create with this set. There is plenty of ephemera in the set to choose from and you can create so many different cards with just using the set as is or adding bits and bobs to it from your stash.

Have fun creating,

Perfect Pairs Serene Winter cards – STAMPlorations

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! Today I´m again stopping by to share some more STAMPlorations Perfect Pairs Serere Winter card projets with you.

For this card I´ve used some blue patterned paper and a blue inked area directly on the card background. Onto it I stamped with dark brown ink and the “Winter” definiton stamp to add more pattern to the background. The ice skates emphemera piece is adhered on place with a piece of 3D-foam for depth and interest. The sentiment underneath is just a part of the winter wishes sentiment and inked with blue stamp ink. For decor I added some half pearls .

For the second card I used the same blue patterned paper, but added a die cut pattern with the Wonky Stitched Grid Texture Cover Plate to it.

On top of that I added the bird on a branch emhemera piece and a Winter Wishes stamped sentiment (stamped with blue ink) – cut into two separete pieces. I then simply decorated the card with some half pearls.

I love how clean and simple these cards are. They are easy to make and with the stamps and ephemera you have all the necessary elements to create beautiful cards. Just add paper and/or ink and you are good to go.

I hope I could inspire you to create with Perfect Pairs!!

80th birthday card idea

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! Today I am stopping by to share a slimline card for an 80th birthday celebration.

This cards was supposed to be in red, orange, green and brown tones. Therefore I started with a kraft cardstock on the back to add a light brown touch. I also used a slimline card base, because it looks more festive in my opinion.

I chose green, brown, red and orange toned paper and die cut the flowers with a retired Elizabeth Craft Designs die cut die. After that I stamped some leaf branches onto the kraft cardstock, applied embossing ink in gold on top and heat embossed the images. The stamp is by Rubber Dance. After that I added some embossing enamel to the background (chunky metallic seasonings) and heat set it. I also added some golden pigment splatters here and there, inked the edges of the kraft cardstock with green adn brown Distress Oxide inks.

Before adhering the die cut flowers on place, I placed some yellow and orange sewing thread onto the card and then adhered the flowers on top. The flowers keep the thread from moving and the thread adds interest to the card.

I decorated the flowers with buttons (adhered with glue dots) and added some paper leaves to go with everything. I finished the card off with green sticker numbers and the stamped “all the best” sentiment (by Rubber Dance).

I hope the recipient likes the card and that it makes her smile.

STAMPlorations Perfect Pairs – Serene Winter

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! I´m back with another new STAMPlorations Perfect Pairs set called Serene Winter. I really love these Perfect Pairs sets!! They are so much fun to create with.

For these cards I´ve just used 3D-foam adhesive, inks and the Perfect Pairs set.

For the above card I started off by inking the “Winter” stamp with fossilized amber, spiced marmalade and ground espresso Distress Oxide inks. I started with the lightest ink on top and ended with the darkest.

I created a repeated “stripe” down the middle of the white card base as background for the ephemera piece that I adhered with a 3D-foam piece.

Next I took a orange spray ink, misted a piece of paper and stamped the sentiment with dark brown ink on it. After that I fussy cut the piece to size (and only used the winter wishes part of it) & adhered it onto the card. Very easy and fun!

For the second card I started off by stamping the “Winter” sentiment with hickory smoke Distresss Oxide ink 4 times onto the white card base, but always tilting the stamp image 90 degrees for the next stamp image. That way I had created a fun background image with just one stamp. After that I added ink splatters all around the card base.

Next I adhered the emphemera image with 3D-foam on top of the stamped images and finished the card off with dark brown “winter wishes” stamped sentiment.

I had really a great time creating these cards. The set works so well together and is fun to play with. I hope you get inspired by these cards. Be sure to check out the STAMPlorations blog for more inspiration!!

Happy crafting,

STAMPlorations Perfect Pairs – Blooms & Sunshine

Leave a comment

Hello! I´m here today to share a new STAMPlorations product release with you. The sets are called Perfect Pairs – containing of a stamp set of 2 and an emphemera cuts set that go together as pair. You buy this set and it´s all you need to create lovely cards in no time!

I´ve created these two cards using the set called Blooms & Sunshine. The set consists of a lovely arrangement of flower ephemera and a stamp set that matches the flower theme perfectly. For these two cards I´ve used only the set and some inks. That way you can see how easy it is to create cute cards with just a few materials.

For the above card I did the following steps:

I first brushed a circle with fossilized amber Distress Oxide ink onto the white card base, then took a spiced marmalade Distress Oxide ink and stamped the splatters with it.

Next I adhered the flower on top using 3D-foam pads and stamped the sentiment underneath using the same orange ink tone, like on the splatters. The card was done in no time! You need very little time and very little supplies with this set! And still can create lovely handmade cards with them.

For the second card I first inked the white card base edges using old paper Distress Oxide ink.

Then I used the ground espresso Distress Oxide Ink for stamping the sentiment and the splatters. After that I adhered the ephemera piece on place and the card was done.

How do you like the Blooms & Sunshine set so far? If you are looking for more inspiration, be sure to check the STAMPlorations blog out for more ideas.

1st birthday slimline card

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! Here is a quick card idea share for a 1st birthday.

I used a white card base and papers by Elizabeth Craft Designs. The polka dot paper is cut into size and the edges are rounded with a corner chomper. For the light green cardstock I used a Stampin´Up dry embossing folder “clouds” (here is an alternative) and also rounded the edges to macht the polka dot paper.

After adhering the papers on place I added some chipboard embellishments from my stash to form a flower. I decorated the flower with a chipboard catepillar and added a Thickers foam sticker number inside the “flower bud”. I left the card without a sentiment this time.

I hope you enjoyed the inspiration. Happy crafting,

Masculine 50th birthday card idea

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! This is a masculine birthday card idea share for a 50th birthday card.

I used a woodgrain patterned paper on the background (trying to keep everything very masculine). On top I added some black rub-ons from my older stash (Kaisercraft) and as a centerpiece Thickers foam sticker numbers.

For additional decor I sneaked some golden ink droplets here and there. The card is very simple in design and has almost no decor. I hope the recipient finds it suitable for the occation.

I really like woodgrain papers an love to use them almost as they are. The paper on it´s own makes the card special and it doesn´t need much more decor.

Happy crafting,

1st birthday card

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! Today I´m stopping by to share a card I created for a 1st birthday.

I started off with a palm tree paper on the background. Next I stamped and die cut the lions and the monkeys from yellow and light brown cardstocks. The die cut dies and the matching stamps are by Elizabeth Craft Designs (from their older collection). Next I colored the stamped and die cut images with acrylic markers.

After that I die cut some tropical leaves from a striped green toned paper. I then added some Distress Oxide Ink in green around the edges of the leaves for more depth. Next I arranged all the pieces onto the palm tree patterned paper and glued them on place. For finishing touches I added some glitter alpha stickers for a sentiment.

I really liked coloring the jungle animals for this card. I hope the birthday boy´s parents also like the card.

Happy crafting,

Stenciled card idea

Leave a comment

Hello there! I´ve got a stenciled card share up for you today. This is made using STAMPlorations products with some bits and bobs from my older stash.

For this card I first made a collage paper with a gel plate and the Evolution stencil. I then cut the piece to match the card size. Before adhering this piece on place I stenciled in red and orange toned Distress Ink tones and the Henna Pattern stencil below the area where I wanted to attach the collage paper piece. I also outlined the Henna Pattern with a dark brown marker to make it stand out from the background even more. After that I adhered the collage paper piece on place.

For the sentiment I used a Rubber Dance stamp set called “Feathery”. I stamped again using brown ink to keep the colors similar. After that I added some golden pigment droplets here and there on the white space and a row of two different ribbons as well as layered paper flowers and a brad to finish the card off.

I recently went thru my stash and noticed that I have quite an amount of ribbon collected over the years. Thus, I will try and incorporate some ribbon to my cards in the future.

I hope I could inspire you to use some stencils in your cardmaking projects. Also hop over to the STAMPlorations blog to see more inspiration and join the never ending challenge. And like always, here is your discount code for the STAMPlorations store purchaces:
