Stretch Your Stamps 2 Watercolour Spotlight

Hi we are at the bonus day and the final stretch of Stretch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes. Panicking a bit as I have 6 cards still to make (I wanted to do more but time is of the essence lol) in the next 24 hours lol. Sorry in advance for the glut of close together posts!

So the storu behind this card and the next one is that I had a specific stamp set I wanted to use that I put somewhere so I could find it . . . and promptly lost it lol. I had to borrow some stamps off my friend to do this one, but may after class finishes now that I found my stamps in a spot I looked five times I will make this card with my original vision.

I have used Stazon Jet Black to stamp my stamps, the sentiment is from Kaisercraft and the flowers are freebies off a mag I think but I'm not really sure. I used Dylusions, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and a home made glimmer mist as well. Oh and it's on Ranger Watercolor Cardstock, my new fave watercolour cs! I need to get the hang of this technique a bit more.

Super Quick Card Using MME's State Of The Heart Papers and Die Cuts

Hi everyone, just a quick Valentines Day card tonight. I think it would also make a nice anniversary card. I threw this one together in about 20 minutes one morning before I had to go out. The MME State of the Heart paper pack came with a sheet of die cut elements that helped make this card a super quick one. (I know, I know, there is a pearl missing! It has since been re-attached). I really let the die cuts do the talking :)

I selected two die cuts from the die cut sheet, I added a heart in Fired Brick Distress ink to the top and bottom of the middle layer and then rounded the top right and bottom left corner of each piece. I selected a co-ordinating pp and did the same as we as to the cream card base. I stuck my layers on one at a time starting with the bottom pieces. At this point I thought it looked to plain and I added some bling to give it a lift. Clear rhinestones top and bottom and teeny pearl bling to the hearts on the middle die cut . . . Note to self . . . Add the bling before the foam tape lol, that's why I lost one.
Anyways super late here so I best get some sleep! Expect another post tomorrow of a card I couldn't show until the recipient received it lol. It uses the MME papers again and a color scheme I've not used before!

Easy Acetate Card with KaiserCraft December 25th, Twig and Berries and Spellbinders

 I wanted to make an acetate card and being that christmas is coming up I decided I would make a christmas card. I also wanted to make a card with die cuts, something I had not done before even though I have a few packets of them floating around. I am not very good at using them yet! lol

I started with the acetate, trimming it to card size.This is thicker than the acetate sheets you get for printing on so it can stand up in card form. I learnt that spellbinders do not like the thicker acetate so much lol. I chose some die cuts from the KaiserCraft Twig and Berry pack and a background paper from December 25th. I cut two different background papers with a spellbinders die in my ebosser.

I then cut 2 pieces of plain card stock into rectangles the same size as the die and used my corner rounder to round the edges. I used Festive Berries to stamp a sentiment. I used double side tape to tape to adhere the spellbinder pps to the front and back of the front panel and then the plain cs to the front and back of the back panel of the card.

I used foam tape to adhere the die cut pieces to the front of the card . . . It was very quick and easy to make once I stopped trying to make a pretty shaped card lol. Although I may try cutting again with the metal plate and my ebosser ;)

Its not a fancy smancy card but it was very quick and easy too make . So if you need a card in a hurry that has a lil wow factor try grabbing the acetate!
