Happy Tuesday!I hope you’ve had a great week- I know I did!  I was away from my home and craft room to make today’s card, but I did have a new set of stamps by Taylored Expressions and access to some paper, ink, embossing powder and fun embellishments…

So I created a simple card that really doesn’t look so simple 🙂  I love it when that happens- texture and color really make a big difference when you are working with limited supplies!

This is one reason I really believe a great set of sentiment stamps is such an important staple ingredient for card making.  The right words can be the perfect starting or finishing point on a project!  This sentiment set is not a new release, but it’s new to me, and you’ll be seeing more of it in the future.  (It’s not in stock at the moment, but I bet it could be if you wanted to order it!)

Have a creative day,

Tara

 

p.s. Set some time aside to check back here on Saturday, May 12- we’re having another BLOG HOP 🙂

 

Materials Used:

Wonderful World stamp set by Taylored Expressions

Flower, button & bling embellishments by Prima

misc. chipboard & string

Ink, embossing powder & card stock

Happy Tuesday!  We’re experiencing some “April Showers” in my part of the country… so I apologize in advance for the photo quality in this post!  I actually debated sharing these cards with you, because they are NOT original creations by me.  I recently attended a fun make & take day at a local store and these were two of the projects I got to make 🙂  The rainy sentiment seemed fitting though… so here goes nothing!

This first card features product by Taylored Expressions- a sweet sentiment and fun layered umbrella die, as well as a fun raindrop background die!  This simple card was a breeze to put together and looks even sweeter with little details of glitter & bling that I added…

A second card I made is a really fun one featuring stamps & dies by My Favorite Things.  It’s got a fun slider window on the front panel that showcases a sweet little ocean scene and reveals a witty sentiment when you pull up!

It was really easy to put together (of course it doesn’t hurt that everything was pre-cut for me!) and look how cute…

Heehee.  I love a good pun stamp!  This one I colored with Copic Markers and added fun dimension with foam tape.

I looked for the products I used on these cards in the online store and while I KNOW both of these brands are stocked at I’m Impressed, not all of them seem to be currently available in the SCT online store.  I’m fairly certain the girls there can hook you up and order it in for you though, so don’t hesitate to contact them if you want to buy some of this!  I did find almost everything from the second card though- and it’s definitely my fave of the two!  The rest of the stamps in the set are even cuter!

Hope you like my little ‘show & tell’ post today… I’ll be back next week with some original product by me 🙂  Be sure to check out all the fab new arrivals in the online store!  Also, if you’re lucky enough to live nearby to I’m Impressed in Granville Island, you should plan to visit them on Mondays… they do a different make & take project every week!

 

Inky hugs,

Tara

Happy Tuesday!

Confession time.  I make cards.  You probably know that much… but I’m terrible (I mean really terrible!) at sending them out to the intended recipient.  So naturally, I gravitate towards any sentiments that apologize for the LATE card I’m sending.  I was delighted to find one such sentiment in the Busy Beaver stamp & die set we used in our Canada Day blog hop! (Side note… we’ve got another blog hop coming up!  Watch for details coming soon!)

I took the sentiment and broke it up a bit, choosing to highlight the humor with a giant die cut word ‘dam’ and the (very Canadian) ‘sorry’ stamped onto the cut out log 🙂  I colored my little beaver with a mix of watercolor pencil crayons and some sepia color burst.  I brushed the same Color Burst over the die cut letters, which were already a kraft color but this warmed them up a bit.  I also added a subtle black edge to the letters with a watercolor pencil.

For the background, I spritzed a puddle of water onto watercolor card stock and dropped some Color burst into it, then spritzed again for a splattered look.  I then lifted and tilted it a variety of directions to get the drippy, splattery look you see on the finished card.

I mounted all the die cut elements with foam tape for a bit of dimension, and used some Nuvo Glitter drops on the beaver’s face for a bit of shine.  It’s simple… but whimsical and fun.  And hopefully will be an acceptable apology to whomever gets this late birthday card!

Inky hugs,

Tara
