Slimline Card Challenge

Hello and welcome here. I decided to make a second card for the Art Impressions Slimline Challenge found HERE, using the instructions from THIS video by Bonnie Krebs.  THIS is the video I first saw, and bought my stamps based on this project!!!

I used 5261 Large Birdhouse Set, 4052 Flower Set, 4051 Foliage Set, and 5258 Flowers Set 4.

This was my first attempt at watercolouring the Ai way, and so I copied the flower placements etc. used by Bonnie in the video, so that I could focus on the watercolouring part.  I had so much fun, and learned sooooo much...enough to design the first card today all on my own.

Watercolour Slimline Cards

Hello and welcome here.  A few weeks ago I discovered an Art Impressions watercolor stamp video.  I am hooked!!  I ordered the Watercolor Starter Bundle and Flower Set 4, which allowed me to create these 2 cards...and the wreath I used on a wedding card a couple of posts ago.

Card Size:  3.5" x 8.5"

I am new to these slimline cards, and I saw that the Art Impressions Blog is having a Slimline Card Challenge.   You can find it HERE.  I thought I would challenge myself to give it a go.

I used 5123 Decorative Jar, 4051 Foliage Set, and 5258 Flower Set 4 for this card.

Baby Cards

 Hello and welcome here.  The summer has passed us by and the leaves are changing and falling here already.  I have some baby cards that I made in the summer to share with you today.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I pieced the starburst pattern using patterned paper.  It's difficult to see but the white paper piece is embossed.  I made a girl version and a green version, changing up the sentiment for each.

I cut a rectangular piece of paper 1.5" x 6", I then cut the paper diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner to get the triangular shape.

Thanks for stopping by.

Heart Shaped Wreath Card

 Hello and welcome here.  I recently saw a video using a birdhouse stamp from Art Impressions Rubber Stamps, and watercolouring flowers and foliage.  I immediately ordered the stamps, lol.  I don't know how I missed their watercolouring technique before, but I am DOWN with it now!!!  

Card Size:  5.5" x 5.5"

The next video I just happened to watch was one from their FB page, where Kendra shows how to stamp wreaths.  You can find that video HERE...the heart wreath starts at approx. 36:00.  

Well lucky me, my stamps arrived 4 days before a wedding I was going to and I decided to try my hand at the wreath!  This is my attempt. 

This is a better view of the wreath.  I will definitely be making more of these!!!  So simple and quick.

Bicycle Ride Birthday Cards

Hello and welcome here!  This is my last card I'm sharing that I created this summer, after being away from crafting for 2 years. I'm back to work now and so my creative time is cut down drastically, but never fear, I am still creating.  I will try to post at least once a week cards I have completed.

Card Sizes:  4.25" x 5.5"

Both cards were inspired by this bicycle card found on Pinterest HERE.  I loved the cute frame she used, but I had to just go with a plain one since I don't have the same one.  I used My Favorite Things Inside/Out Stitched Rectangles die to create my frame, the bicycle is from BoBunny, and the wavy hill is Spellbinders A2 Curved Borders 1 die.

White on White Wedding Cards

 Hello and welcome here! I needed some wedding cards and love the white on white look.

I was inspired by this card found on Pinterest HERE. I kept the focal point the same and changed up the embossing folder and sentiment.  I would go a little lighter on the grey next time, but it was all I had on hand at the moment and I was inspired. I used Blossom Sprig from Memory Box, and Quilted embossing folder from WeR Memory Keepers, and Quattrafoil embossing folder from CTMH.

Happy Birthday Cards

 Hello and welcome here. I hope you enjoy the cards inspired by Pinterest today.

Card Sizes:  4.25" x 5.5"

These cards were totally scrap lifted by the one I found HERE on Pinterest. I don't usually like so much white space, but I really like the feel of it with this card.  I added a strip of matching glitter paper just to give it a finished look.  The happy die was from Simon Says Stamp. and the thanks die was called Scripty Thanks from Lawn Fawn.  I used Martha Stewart edge punches.

Thanks for dropping by!

Sympathy Cards

 Hello and welcome here.  I needed so make some Sympathy cards and headed over to Pinterest for some inspiration.

All three cards were inspired by this card on Pinterest found HERE.  For the first card, I didn't have a feather stamp or die, so I used the Honey Blossom Sprig die from Memory Box.  The Sympathy die is from Simon Says Stamp. The second card I used Decorative Labels 8 from Spellbinders and the poppy is called Prim Poppy from Memory Box.  And for the final card, I used Arbescello Tree die from Memory Box.
