All my cards in a row 2024 #1-99 Birthday Special

Pull my finger

Hello, I like punny cards and this made me giggle...I've used two digis from Whimsy Stamps and Dustin Pike: Dragon Begging and Playful Dragon.

I printed them and colored them with Graphit Brush markers and Spectrum Noir. I just love the green JG7 and LG5 produce. I kept them the same but mirrored in color, mostly cos I want it to be somewhat cohesive and not a caleidoscope.

For the background I inkblended Distress inks: Stormy Sky, Ever Green Bough and Speckled Egg; then splattered with water and white paint, it's Distress inks, it's mandatory ;-)

Diecut the birch trees, also Whimsy stamps (Forest Majesty die set) from white cardstock and adhered them on top. I had printed the sentiment at the same time with the images and made some kind of snow bank from it. Where else would dragons live but in a forest?

Naughty Elf

 Hello, today I'd like to show you a card I made with the digi: Naughty Elf.

It's a digi stamp from Whimsy Stamps and Dustin Pike and it comes with a sentiment, that is hilarious too, but I made my own.

I printed the digi and sentiment and colored it with alcohol markers, then cut it out.

For the background I made a mask with the Whimsy Mix and Match Marquee dieset and applied Distress inks:  Pine Needles,  Lucky Clover and Cracked Pistachio. Then removed the mask and splattered with metallic green and black ink. they do catch the light and look like twinkle lights.

 Mounted the elf with foamtape and adhered it onto the carbase.

You can find the supplie sin the Whimsy store

AAA Card Challenge #280: Sketch

 Hello, this fortnight we have a sketch again.

For my card I kept the rectangle, but made it blue like a night sky, with Distress inks Prize Ribbon and Chipped Sapphire, then splattered with water and white paint.

I then stamped the images, the big Polar bear is from a magazine freebie many years ago. the smaller bears and Santa flying are from Marianne Design CS1040. I stamped them with Versamark ink and white embossing powder (WOW opaque Ultrafine white).

I then realized the smaller Polar bears are up in the air, I didn't consider that when inkblending either, so I tried to fill in a snowbank with a white gel pen., a tree or cabin that's also in the set might have worked better or a different kind of inkblending, but hey..it's all handmade.

The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted (Tiny Type) and I stamped it with a blue ink , crooked so I covered it up with a sentiment strip.

Fal lala la Blah Blah Blah Blah

 

Hello, today I've got a fun card for you, well I think it's funny ;-)

It's a digi from Whimsy Stamps and Dustin Pike: Christmas Sentiment.

I printed the digi for a double sized card as I thought the details would be easier to color that way and I'm glad I did.

For the cardbase I folded a full sheet of cardstock in half (A4 to A5 for Metric people) A7for Imperial? I think, sorry not sure..our sizes differ but it doesn't matter, adjust to your liking, that's the fun with digi stamps and the quality of the whimsy stamps allow you to rezise to your liking.

After coloring I cut it out.

The sentiment I saw on Facebook, on a friends make, with a grumpy cat and I'm really sorry I don't remember who it was, but I stole the idea as I laughed so hard and the grumpy Rudolph is just perfect for this sentiment, esp with the name of the digi ;-)

As it's a really big card I diecut the biggest circle from the Boho Circles set from the same carstock and inkblended Distress inks on it instead of the cardbase. I've used Distress ink Prize Ribbon, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salty Ocean. Splattered with water, white paint and Pewter Distress Spray Stain. 

Attached the panel to the cardbase. Mounted the digi with foamtape and stuck it on top.

Today and tomorrow you can get the digi with 50% Discount! so run!

AAA Birthday Cards Challenge December: Lovely Layers #68

 Hello, this month we're all about Lovely layers or Layered birthday cards.

Those are hard for me, but these die sets from Avec Creative (Love 2 craft) sets they become somewhat easier; except I don't have very many colors of cardstock, so some layers I've also added ink to deepen the colors.

I'm pretty much choosing what colors to use and putting them together, didn't like the sun, so I went with the stars, also included in the set.

The sentiment is from  Whimsy Stamps (Simple sentiment strips) and I stamped it with Versafine black ink on a panel the same color as the train bridge, as I thought the white cardbases I usually use were a bit too stark.
