Elizabeth Craft Designs: You're so sharp! (Krista January Release)

Today I have two cards showcasing one of Elizabeth Craft Designs (Krista's) January release stamp and die sets. This cute set is called Cacti. I was super happy to receive this set to play with as I'm a cactus collecting stamp addict...!

Here is my first card: 



I kept this card quite simple - I started by colouring the images with my Copic markers. Using the co-ordinating dies I die-cut each image and used them to mark lines (in pencil) to form a rectangle border around each cacti on my card front. I then machine sewed lines using the pencil marks as a guide. I gentle erased the lines and assembled my card. Before adhering the lizard I stamped the sentiment. I finished the card off by adding enamel dots and matting it to a orange card base.

There is some dimension in this card as I used foam dots to adhere the lizard and one of the cacti to the card.

The second card is pretty much a portrait version of the first card above.

Growing in Unity: Day 1

Image
Yippee!! After waiting 11 months, 10 days, it's finally my week to share my Unity cards. 5 whole days of inspiration is coming your way...oh! and lets not forget the sponsored giveaway by Unity at the end of my week - a grab bag with 25 random stamps! My first card I decided to use one of my favourite sets - I actually combined two (no, three!) Unity sets that really go well together. How do you use your Unity stamps? Would you mix and match them? When I first starting stamping (15 years ago) the thought of mixing sets would make me cringe - but now... no problems! I think it's a great way to make the most of your stamp collection. Here are my cards using Unity: Tumbleweed Houses , On My Way and Gypsy Journal (sentiment only) I coloured the images using a few of my ZIG brush pens and cut them out with my silhouette (for those who are visiting me for the first time - I try to avoid fussy cutting!) I added a few sewing machine details and adhered the hous

Just sharing another card I made (with the help of master 2 1/2yo). Stamp is unity -  Vase with stripes.  C oloured with prisma pencils and gamsol.
