Hippo Birthday!

Hi!

It's time for some new inspiration for Polkadoodles Craft challenge. You can find more inspiration and join the challenge here 😊

I used an adorable Birthday Cake Helga Hippo digi image, coloured her with alcohol markers and then fussy cut it. The background paper is from Spring into Easter papers set 3. I stamped the sentiment with Sentimentals stamp set and heat embossed it. I also stamped some flowers here and there with Hearts and Flowers 1 stamp set and added a gentle stenciled area around the edges with Heavenly Circles stencil. Lastly I added a pink frame with alcohol marker, taped the patterned paper on white card base, added Helga and some half pearls. Super cute!

Stay strong

Happy Wednesday!
 
It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time the theme is "Anything goes" with the optional twist "For the Ladies".

I used a Squats image and coloured it with alcohol markers. Then I die cut it (down part - the upper part I fussy cut) and added a little bigger die cut circle under it.

The background paper is from Punk Lolly paper pack and I added a little Distress inks and black Sharpie on its edges before taping it to the card base. The letters are die cut and I heat embossed the "strong" letters with glittery black embossing powder.
 
I was quite lost at some point with this card, but I think it turned out great. There's a bit of masculinity and femininity and even though it looks quite simple I used multiple techniques on it.



Here you can see the glittery embossing powder little better.

Life is a wonderful celebration

Hi!

It's time for some new inspiration for Polkadoodles Craft challenge. You can find more inspiration and join the challenge here 😊

This time I wanted to do some stenciling. I started with white cardboard and added flowers with Wildflower Meadow stencil and paste I coloured with Distress Inks. Then I added a few more layers of flowers with Distress Inks positioning the stencil differently each time. When I was happy with the flowers I coloured the background also with inks and added some glitter spray.
 
Then I stamped the sentiment with Sentimentals stamp set on tracing paper and heat embossed it. I tore the tracing paper and taped it on the card. Lastly I added some Glossy Accents drops here and there.

Memory box

Hi!

It's time for some new inspiration for Polkadoodles Craft challenge. You can find more inspiration and join the challenge here 😊
 
I did something different this time - no colouring at all, OMG! I decided to try my ScanNCut to create this cute memory box.

First I printed 2 beautiful yellowish red papers from Spring into Easter papers set 1 & set 2. Because I wanted the inside part of the box to also have some beautiful patterns I also printed a green paper from set 1 to the other side of the red papers. I also printed blue paper from Spring into Easter papers set 3 (same print for both sides of the printing paper) to cut the index cards from. The printing paper needs to be quite thick so that the box is sturdy enough - the paper I used was 250gsm and it's quite good (but could also be thicker).
 
 


 
 Then I did some magic with the Recipe Box Svg Print & Cut Template svg files and cut the box parts from the papers I just printed. I did some folding and gluing and assembled the box. Lastly I added some pre-coloured images to embellish the box a little - I used Tropical Sorbet Craft Set (alphabets), Lily Bug Ladybird Frames, Teacup Lily Ladybug pre-coloured, Lovebird Letter pre-coloured, Bob the Dog in a Boat craft bundle, Surprise Gift Winnie pre-coloured and Bella Bear Morning Coffee craft bundle.
 
So the box is now done, just need to add the memories inside. But that's a case for another day 😊

With Love

Happy Wednesday!
 
It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time the theme is "With love".

I used this new(ish) image Would You Be My Valentine? and coloured her with alcohol markers.
 



The background has quite a lot of things 😊 First I made a few layers with Fabrika Decoru Magic paint spray and water. Then I added some stamping. Unfortunately I did black stamping to the center of the card but I didn't like it so I stamped again over it with red ink and heat embossed it with red embossing powder - and it was so much better. There are still some black spots but that's ok.
 
Then I die cut some hearts (added glossy accents on them) and clouds (added some colour on them). I glued them on the card and lastly added the image with foam tape.

Queen of Hearts

Hi crafters!
 
 Here again with a Moondrea Designs DT work 😊

This time I used this beautiful new Queen of Hearts image and coloured her with alcohol markers. I love the contrast between red and black so I decided to use that colour scheme. 
 
After colouring I added Glossy Accents over the big heart, the necklace and crown jewels. I also added some hearts to the background with stencil and Distress Ink. The frame is red glitter cardstock. There is also some Wink of stella glitter on the red roses and black "frame" (doesn't show very well in the picture).
