Off cuts into a card.

Another easy card, but quite effective when complete, It's made from off cuts from other projects.
I used  4  pieces  of Christmas themed card each piece measured  about 1  x  6 inches. I cut them in half diagonally, length  ways. So I ended up with eight long, skinny triangles.
I then glued them to a piece of  red glossy card stock leaving about an 1/8th of an inch in between the pieces.
Once the rectangle was covered, I trimmed back all the over hanging triangles and mounted it onto a layer of dark red card. Then on to the white base card. I punched out the robins with a small punch and placed it in the centre of the sentiment stamp. This is a great card for using up some of those off cuts. 

Pampered Pets, the forgotten card.

It seems I forgot to post this Pampered Pets card last week when I posted the last batch.
 I made the collar using one of the new sliders from S.U.  and threaded through a strip of  black card. I added a few tiny gem stones along the collar.  Well,  it is a Pampered  Pet after all.

Simple floral card

 A vey simple card using the Flowers for all Seasons DSP.  Not a lot to say about this  card it's that simple. 

Silhouette scenes.. boy with plane

This is the card I posted on the demonstrators website it's had over 550 likes plus  a lot of comments , one of which was asking for a tutorial.  I am having issues again with videos so I've put together a photo tutorial in the post below. 

It's not a difficult card to make and doesn't take a great deal of time to do. 

 The stamp sets use are silhouette scenes and natures beauty, plus a few stamps from Lavinia Stamps. 

The Stampin' Up ink colours I used are; barely banana , melon mambo, highland heather, balmy blue and  black Versamark . 

Bleach splatters were applied after I had brushed the colours on and before stamping the black silhouettes.

 I use different foliage  stamps and changed the order of the colours on this .

The boy with binoculars  is from  the silhouette scenes stamp set too. I also sponged the  base card on this one, but I am not sure I like this though. The wisteria, rabbit and toadstool stamps are  from Lavinia stamp.

The girl on a swing is from the silhouette scenes stamp set. The foliage at the bottom of this scene are from the  retired Stampin' up set called pocket silhouettes. The branch and leaf stamp are from Lavinia stamps.

Under my umbrella

This card was made using the  under my umbrella stamps set from stampin' up. I coloured the brollies with copic markers and punched them out using the coordinating punch.
 To  create the rain  I used the fine  nib glue from S.U  and gently touched the nib to the card and quickly flicked the nb upwards to create a the raindrop shape. I left the card to dry over night.  (although it didn't need that long)  The following day I lightly brushed over the dry glue drops with Balmy blue ink to make the raindrops pop out.

A nice anniversary card..... I think

This is a fairly quick and easy one to make.  It would have been quicker if I hadn't over inked my "craft" ink pad   (which Is a Slow drying ink) I had to wait for ages for the ink to dry, but it took so long I resorted to using the heat gun to finish it off.

This is a 6x4 inch card. I started by brushing ink in a  semi random way over the card stock. I brushed in a couple hills in the distance then  splattered some water over the card and waited for a about 30 seconds before blotting  off the excess water and the ink it lifted.

 I wanted the splatter marks to be a little brighter, so with an aqua painter  filled with bleach I added  tiny drops of bleach to each splatter and let it sit until the splatters where almost white then blotted off the excess.

  I stamped the silhouettes,  sponged  in the foreground and left it to dry.

  It was essential the ink was completely dry before I did the gold heating embossing.

 The  couple  are from the retired  stamps set Silhouette Scenes . The floral silhouette wild flowers  and willow are from Lavinia stamps.

 This is a long skinny card  at  3x7  inches.

 The stamps used on this are Pocket silhouettes, 

Silhouette scenes.

 and the over hanging willow stamp is from Lavinia stamps.

Pampered Pets...Dog

I've  used both dog stamps from the Pampered pets set from Stampin' up on this one. Coloured with Copic Markers and teamed up with the coordinating DSP.

The little butterflies come in this set too,  so just for fun I thought I'd  have one of them land on the dogs nose.

Pamper Pets , The cat....Again

I love this  cat but I am not sure if she's a  happy cat or if she's a smug one.
I printed off the sentiment using my P.C  I then stamped, coloured and die cut the  cat and stuck her on the panel and mounted it onto a second panel before adhering it to the base card.
 I would love to have stamped her directly on the base card,  but alcohol markers bleed through the card making the inside of the card very messy looking.

 For the card below I used a panel big enough to cover the whole of the base card. so I didn't have to do any layering. I should have stamped the cat directly onto the panel, but as I had a cat already coloured and cut out I stuck that on instead.

New born card

 This card is similar to one I did last last year. I tried it  in lilac this time as it's  for  the parents of a new born girl. The teddy I coloured using Copic markers.  The text was obviously printed using a p.c.  I tied the insert in with lilac bakers twine.

Zoo review penguin

You may think this is a strange image to put on a thank you card , but when I say it has been sent to a friend of my  dad's who helped us out when my dad died a couple of months ago. His friend who has  worked in Antarctica  for 35 years. He has lots penguin ornament's around his house and garden, so I am hoping he will like this card.   The stamp is a single image of a penguin. It is part of the retired  Zoo Review set.  I stamped the image multiple times and reversed a couple of them. then coloured the images with Copic markers.
