Thank You Card

By
My card to share today was created quite simply by die cutting Thank You three times into a panel at a slight angle and three more times out of red, blue & yellow cardstock, inlaying the coloured pieces back into the panel for an inlaid die cutting technique.   You can never say Thank You enough times don't you agree and one's definitely not enough.

I mixed up the colours to give more interest and then heat embossed a small Thank You stamp in between.  The panel was edged with some black & white washi tape before fixing to the front of the card blank.



Linking up with Cut It Up: Challenge #155 - ABCs or 123s (create a project that has numbers and/or letters on it and also contains die cut)


I've used - Textured cream A6 card blank & panel
Xcut mini sentiment die
Coloured linen metallic cardstock
Mag freebie sentiment stamp
Washi tape

    The inlaid technique is so much fun, isn't it? It's like a child's jigsaw puzzle. Your thank you card turned out really cute, and you're right about people not saying thank you enough!

Birthday Wishes Cake

Made my own mixed media background panel for this birthday cake card with inks, stencils, stamps, glitter paste, stencil butter and embossing powder.  You might have to zoom in to see the sparkle and shine.  A favourite three tier cake with chocolate sprinkles ... yum! For the background I started by blending two DO inks onto white cardstock.  Repeatedly placed the mandala stencil on top, spritzed with water and dabbed off with paper towel to create a faux bleach effect.  Glitter paste and stencil butter was applied through parts of the seed head stencil.  Embossing powder was sprinkled over the top of the stencil butter and heated once dry.  Random stamping with various inks. Three tier cake die cut from scraps of pearlised card for the layered toppings (white layer was an embossing folder scrap) and similarly inked card as the background panel for the bases which have stencilled white heat embossed wavy lines.  Added a birthday wishes word banner die in white pearlised card backed wi

Musical Crossword ... Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge

Set myself an additional challenge this week to combine a crossword stamp into the current  Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge  ... easy really just write the names of some instruments into the squares!  I also wanted to try the Retiform (grid) inking technique again and this is the end result. The crossword stamp was inked and embossed first before sponging distress ink along the edges of my paper masks to create several shaped areas into which I stamped musical instruments and notes using grey and black inks.  Finished off with an apt "Just a note to say ... " sentiment.

Autumn Days

Autumn is one of my favourite seasons, looking forward to the rich colours of the changing leaves, squirrels busy collecting fallen acorns, fungi raising their heads above ground and seeing sunflowers still in bloom.  This card was made for a September birthday. I made my own background panel (pictured below) with two distress oxide inks smooshed on it before dry embossing with a layered leaves stencil. Stencilled on top of the raised embossing with various dye inks then used the second layering stencil to just ink the tops of the acorns.  Panel matted on burgundy cardstock.  Wanted to use a recent sale purchase of an Apple Blossom die set which creates a circular shaped puzzle centrepiece and chose a sunflower patterned paper from a recent magazine along with the same burgundy cardstock for the frame.  Once paper pieced back together this was mounted on the background panel. The fungi and butterfly are printed transparency images which were gifted to me, these I've arranged and ad
