Believe in the Magic

Hello everyone,

I have a Christmas card today that I never got a chance to share. 

I am getting into this galaxy background thing and it's pretty amazing.  When you start it looks like a serious hot mess but once you get the water spots and ink splatter on it, it transforms to something spectacular.  


After creating the background I went on to die cutting the sentiment with some gold card stock dividers I kept from an old planner and a piece of vellum from Michaels.  I cut out the banner out of a piece of black card stock from my stash and added it to the card base as well as the sentiment. 



Head over to my YouTube channel to see how a created this card.

AAA Cards Game #82 Winter Chill

Hello everyone,

We have a new game with AAA Cards and it's all about the winter chills.  It's not cold here but it did snow a bit and I'm happy.  It's nice to have it all white again.


I started out with a piece of watercolour paper and used my Mission Gold watercolours to colour the panel.  I then took a snowflake die and cut out part of the panel. 


I then added it to an A2 sized card base with liquid glue.  I then heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder on a piece of black card stock from my stash. I added some foam tape and added it to the card base.  


This is pretty easy are to make and would be great to mass produce for winter wedding or birthday cards or even after Christmas thank you cards.

A Blog Named Hero January 2017 Challenge

Hello everyone,

We are half way through January already and into the second half of our New to Me challenge over at A Blog Named Hero.  The challenge this month is use something new and our sponsor is Right at Home for January.

I used the tea cut from the Cup of Joy set and the sentiment from the How Have You Bean set.  I love tea more than coffee and wanted to use it on my card for today.  I stamped the image with HA intense black ink and coloured it in with my copics.  I added the flowers with HA great and red ink to make it look like an old fashioned china cup.


I added a piece of woodgrain patterned paper brown paper so it looked like the tea cup was sitting on a table and then added the sentiment to that with the same intense black ink.


And then after adhering all the elements to m card I'm sitting there staring at it because it seemed that there was something missing.  So as an after-thought I covered up the cup and paper and added some ink splatters with some black paint and added a couple of gems from my stash.

AAA Cards - Game #81 "Hello"


Hello everyone,

We are back with our first AAA Cards game of 2017!  I hope you all enjoyed the holidays. We had a very good Christmas with family.


I decided to make two cards for todays game.  For my first one, I used the MFT hello die and cut it out of the centre of my front panel.  I then took the Hero Arts striped background stamp and inked it up with the Lilac to Purple and cut a piece just big enough to cover the Hello.  I then stamped the sentiment with HA black dye ink from the Hello stamp and die set.  I then added fun foam to the back of the panel and then added it to an A2 sided card base. 





For the second card I used the positive die cut from the same piece of paper and adhered that to another card base and added a different sentiment from the same set with black ink.  





Our wonderful sponsor is offering a $15 gift certificate
