Coffee and Love Shaker Card

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!! I hope you all feel the love on this special day.

Here’s a special card for you all today… I made this coffee and love shaker card using the new Coffee or Cocoa Digital Stamp Set and the new Heart Card SVG Cut Files from Graciellie Design.

I cut out one of the Heart Cards using my Silhouette Cameo and created a shaker background. I added couple piece of acetate plastic using double sided tape, and then I added some foam tapes around the hearts cut out and added some fine and jumbo glitter on the window, and added it on an A2 white card base using Art Glitter Dries Clear permanent adhesive glue.

I used the print-and-cut feature from Silhouette Software for the image and sentiment. I printed the mug and sentiment on mixed media paper and then cut them with my Silhouette Cameo. This is my most favorite way of working with digital stamps!

I colored the mug with Sakura Koi Watercolor. Then I added it on the card with Art Glitter Dries Clear adhesive glue.

I added some white acrylic paint splatter on the card with fan brush. I dried the background lightly with craft heater, but cannot be too hot becuase it can wrap the card and melt the recycled plastic and glitters.

I added the sentiment on the card with thin 3D foam tape and embellished the card with some red sequins, too.

I think this card speaks lots of love…. I hope you like it, too!

CAS Birthday Card

Hello everyone… It’s been a while since last time I posted here. But today, I have a CAS Birthday card to share with you all.

On my card today, I use the new digital stamp set from Graciellie Design called More Than You Know Set.

I printed the hanging basket on a mixed media paper, cut it with my Silhouette Cameo, and then I colored it with Spectrum Noir Primaries colored pencils.

And then I printed the sentiment on a kraft cardstock, trimmed it to slightly smaller than the A2 card card base. I stamped the Joy Clair – Broken Brick Background Stamp on it with white pigment ink. And then I added some splatters with the Coconut Gelato and water brush.

I added the background panel on the card with permanent adhesive runner and I added the hanging basket on the card with 3D foam tape. I added a mini black gem on the hanging basket as a tiny nail.

I am sharing full details on my blog today. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Thanks for stopping by!

CUTplorations Challenge | Love Always

Valentine’s Day is 10 days away… Are you ready? I am ready for some love cards and chocolate from my favorite people… LOL LOL LOL!!! I believe you all have some special ways of celebrating this sweet day.

Today, I have a mixed media Valentine’s day themed card to share with you all… I am inspired by the photo inspiration from CUTplorations February Challenge, that I created it using the Brave One Stamp Set, Pocket Blooms Stamp Set, Stitched Tags Nesting Dies, Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies.

I cut the black cardstock using the medium size of the Crazy Double Running Stitched Rectangle Nesting Dies. I added it on a white card with permanent adhesive runner.

Then, on a watercolor paper, I created the red ombre background with Sakura Koi Water Colors and flat brush. I dried it with craft heater and then cut it with one of the Stitched Tags Nesting Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Pocket Bloom Stamp Set with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink Pad. Then, I added on the card with permanent adhesive runner.

I stamped the flowers from Brave One Stamp Set with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink Pad on watercolor paper. Then I colored them with Leisure Arts Watercolor Pencils and water brush.

I dried the flowers completely with craft heater and fussy cut them one by one with micro-tips scissors. I added them on the tag with some permanent adhesive glue and 3D foam tape for extra dimension on some of them.

I added some white paint splatters on the card using white acrylic paint and water using fan brush. That’s my card…

I added the paste on a white cardstock usung the Zen Heart Stencil. I dried it with craft heater and then I fussy cut the heart and added on the card with permanent glue adhesive.
