Then I added some pink and violet background papers on the violet card base. The light violet paper is from Halloween/Autumn Paper Heaven 2 set. Lastly I added the sentiment from Winnie White Christmas Big Kahuna bundle.

Zodiac - Taurus

Hi everyone!

There's a new release on Polkadoodles shop - Zodiac Horoscope digi collection - and it's super cute! Perfect for birthday cards and so much more!

Here's one of my cards. I used Taurus image and coloured it with alcohol markers. 

Background papers are from Zodiac Signs papers and Zodiac Co-ordinates papers packs. I added images from Zodiac Horoscope Star Signs and Charts pack over the patterned paper before printing it. 
 
I taped the paper with taurus texts with foam tape so the up and down pieces of the card are little higher than the center part.

Interactive unicorn card

Hi crafters!

This time I made an interactive unicorn/bug card.
 

 

Usually I start making cards by coloring the images, but this time I started with the card base. 

I taped two 300g printing papers together, cut them to size 10x15cm (3,94x5,91inch) and used the See You In The Center Interactive Die to create the interactive mechanism. It was my first time to use dies to create the interactive system, but fortunately there came good instructions with the die set.

 

 

I colored the background using Happy Bloom Day & Clouds Stencil and Distress Ink colors Cracked Pistachio and Carved Pumpkin. Then I added the rest of the interactive mechanism parts another 300g paper to the back of the card to hide the mechanism.

 


Next I stamped a cute unicorn and bugs from Alicorn Happiness Stamps set and colored them with alcohol markers. For the green I used (from dark to light) Copic C02, PromarkerBrush mint green and Copic C00 and for orange PromarkerBrush amber, Copic YR02 and Copic YR000.



 
I wanted to add something more to the card so I die cut some flowers with die from Happy Dragonfly Circle Die, colored them with the same Distress Ink colors I used on the background (Cracked Pistachio and Carved Pumpkin) and added acrylic diamonds to the center of the flowers.

I also stamped the text from Alicorn Happiness Stamps set and cut a little bigger green background under it. 
 
Then I arranged everything on the background the way I liked. I hope you like my card, too 😊

Birthday Card

 Hi!
 
It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and theme is 'Anything goes'. This is our summer challenge and it will last the next 4 weeks, so you have plenty of time to join!

I used this Fancy Dinner image. I love fantasy stories so this was so fun to colour. I used alcohol markers (as always) and created the sky with stencil and Distress Ink. 
 
I die cut the image, added black cardboard and taped it on the card base. I also stamped the lines and the text (meaning happy birthday) straight on the card base.

Upside Down

 Hi!
 
It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and theme is 'Birthday Celebrations'. 
 
I used Upside Down image because I just LOVE IT 💚 And also that's why I didn't want to add anything extra - I wanted the image to be the focus.

I coloured the image with alcohol markers. The text is stamped, it's Finnish and means something like 'Have a super fun birthday'.

Pastel fairy hugs

Hi everyone!
 
If you follow me (or TLC Designs) on Facebook or Instagram you might have seen that I'm part of TLC Designs design team for the next six months. I'm super thrilled, Tammy's stamps are just super cute!

And here is my first card 😊
 
I used super cute Foraging Fairies Digital Stamps. I arranged the table, berry bowl and the fairy with the text editor program before printing it. Then I coloured the image with alcohol markers and fussy cut it.


 
 
I saw the snow image in Snow Family Fun Tree Digital Stamps set and had an idea to use them as clouds. So again I used the text editor program to add the snow over a few different patterned papers from Magical Delight Slimline Digital Papers set and then print them out and cut them. I arranged the clouds over the black cardboard and then taped it to the card base. I also cut the upper part of the card base to follow the upper cloud line.
 
I was thinking that I still need something more so I decided to add some cutie squirrels from Snow Buddies Digital Stamps set. I coloured them also with alcohol markers and fussy cut them. Hugs text is from Ben Bot Digital Stamps set. 
 
Every image is taped with foam tape (different thicknesses) to create some dimension to the card.
