Love how easy & quick it was to make this card. Speech bubble stamp & sentiment from Heroarts, PTI lemon tart cardstock dry embossed with Quickutz polka dot embossing folder & bird die cut cut with my Silhouette :) This card is also featured on Cards blog this week :)
Thanks for stopping by, birdies :)
Happy Birthday to Moi :) It's been sweet so far..my guy made a scrumptious breakfast for me this morning and even arranged it nicely...he's a sweet one. :) Also had a little birthday love from Heroarts last night when i saw that I was one of the winners picked for their spring challenge. I took quite some time off the last 6 months or so and didn't submit any cards for calls or challenges etc so it's good to know I can still make cards that people like.But first here's the winning card:
Lots of stamping, inking & heat embossing on this one. Had tons of fun! Cut the branch using my Silhouette SD with white cardstock then sponged it with some distress inks.
The background is also stamped, then sponged, then heat embossed & sponged again. Prolonged exposure to stamps, inks & paper + tons of lovely tools will provide bouts of happy delirousness!! The butterflies are punched out with some Martha Stewart punches and the patterned paper used is from pebbles. Used up the remaining scrap from my birthday invites here.
I'll be heading off for a nice dinner tonight, planning to enjoy myself thoroughly in the afternoon with more papers, inks & stamps!! :)Hello peeps! I realised I mixed up my planned post for today, the Copic Marker video isn't up for a couple more weeks, silly me! My apologies, today I'll be sharing with you a technique video which involves stamps, markers & water :) Enjoy the video!
Also, Nichole Heady's official post for March's guest star stamper is up! Here's a screen print thingy of my win :) *still beaming* There're so many other great entries out there, be sure to check out all the others as well, I must say I think I won by a hair width! Check out the official post here.
I was having abit of trouble entering the gallery to see the honorable mention's creations, but it should be fixed by now :)
Ok so 3 pretty unrelated posts today & so random! But I couldn't leave you without a card, could I ? Here's an entry for last week's Heroarts blog challenge:
Playing around with my cuttlebug & 'swiss dot' embossing folder + my colluzzle & nestabilities for this card *phew that was a mouthful*
Not going to go into lengths about the card today, work to do! More card shares tomorrow, have a great day cupcakes! :)) And let me know what you think of the vdo!
Here's my winning entry :
I really had so much fun making this card, especialy when I was colouring the images in & creating the different backgrounds with stamps.
Here's a close up of the flowers:
I coloured in the flowers & leaves from the 'Friends till the end' Papertreyink stamp set with Copic Markers. I really love those markers, they give images such a rich colour! 
Patterned papers, love em! are from the Basic Grey bittersweet collection. I must say it's one of, if not my fave V-day collections this year. 
I loved these 2 separate sentiments from the stamp set & wanted to make it look like there's continued message inside. So I cut a strip of cardstock & made it like a little book where u can open to see the sentiment :) 
Thanks for stopping by today, have a great week!
The cuttlebug smooshing is kinda subtle here, I used 'tattered rose' distress ink with the folder. Just smooshed the whole ink pad on the top side of the embossing folder {the side that shows on the front of the card} 
Still on the topic of Papertrey, I got totally inspired by their senior design team this morning to sort out my cards! The team got a Birthday Organization challenge & came up with so many great ideas! Go see all of them here. 
I measured the box & cut out 8 pieces of white cardstock into 5" x 7.5" to fit on the inside. You'd want to make sure you measure the top end of the cs {in this case the 7.5" side to be slight lower so u can add tabs later}
