A Few Cards To Share

Just popping in to share a few cards that I made over the weekend.

The first card is one that I made for my colleague (and carpool buddy) that has accepted another job within the company and is moving across the country. I used some stamps from the Hero Arts set Yay! - this is an older set but I just picked it up on clearance thinking that it would be perfect for this type of card. I stamped each sentiment "Subway Art Style" to create a one-layer card:



I stamped the first one in a neutral colour scheme but I challenged myself to step outside my colour comfort zone for the second one - this week's ColourQ schemed seemed fun so I went with it:


The MISTI made the multiple cards super easy - I feel like I should have made a few more in some other colour schemes - I can always use this type of card. I will link these cards up to a few challenges:
My next card is also for a colleague who just told me that she is pregnant:




I used a Memory Box die to create the heart mask which I used to sponge the heart in Pumice Stone and stamp the greeting repeatedly within it. The banner was created using the reverse colour scheme: white heat embossing on a Pumice Stone background. I stamped the pickle jar (Unity Stamp) onto another piece of paper and coloured with Copics before fussy cutting. It was popped up on the heart and banner with a little bit of thread. I added the panel to a card base and used a couple of strips of patterned paper along the side. I finished up with some home made glitter dots around the pickle jar. I had a hard time photographing this card - the colours look a little bit different in real life but the camera couldn't seem to pick it up.

I will link this card up to:

The last card is one that I made for the Ellen Hutson Mix It Up Challenge. This month we are being challenged to create a card using products from the Essentials by Ellen line along with Pretty Pink Posh products. This is my card:


Thanks so much for stopping by!

  6. Wow, your first two cards look fab. Your stamping is so crisp and you've combined all those sentiments beautifully. I think the neutral with the pops of red and blue/grey is my fave.
    Thanks so much for sharing at Less is More and ATSM this week, Anita x
