Unicorn Tales with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Apr 24, 2019 | Uncategorized

Hello, Gemma here today with a card using some fabulous April release products – Unicorn Tales, After the Rain scene die, and the Magical Sparkle Words die set. I began by die cutting the After the Rain scene die from both white card and vellum. This die is great as it cuts the scene in one pass, but all the die cut pieces are separate. This means you can add different colours to each of the pieces. I blended on colour to an A2 card base, using distress oxides in picked raspberry, spun sugar, dried marigold, and squeezed lemonade. I adhered...

Thinking of You with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Mar 28, 2019 | Uncategorized

As I made this card, it was snowing outside. I must have been dreaming of spring sunshine and flowers! I stamped lots of flowers from the Hello Bluebird Wildflower Bouquet stamp set. Once the ink was dry, I stamped the second layer with WOW embossing ink and embossed with WOW Metallic Copper embossing powder. On the leaves, I added some WOW Metallic Silver embossing powder. I die cut a couple of tags from the Hello Bluebird Stitched Tag Builder die set. From one of these, I die cut the rectangle stitched window. I added some light blue ink to...

Hashtag Smile with Gemma

Today I’m sharing a card featuring some fabulous new products from the February release – Spring Gatherings and Typed Everyday stamp sets and the Photo Stack stand-alone die set. I began by working on the background, blending some mowed lawn and twisted citron distress oxide inks on to a white card panel. I concentrated the colour at the edges, fading out to white towards the centre. Using a grass image from the Spring Gatherings stamp set, I stamped it with the twisted citron distress oxide ink around the edges of the panel. Next, I stamped some more images from...

An “Otterly Adorable” card with Franci

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Jan 23, 2019 | Uncategorized

Hello there and happy wednesday! Franci here with you today with a love/friendship themed card feat the adorable “Otter Friends” set. First of all I die cut this pretty frame using the “Gallery Frame Die #2” out of white cardstock, I inked it up with some Picked Raspberry Distress Ink, I let it dry completely and then I stamped it with the “Falling Snow Background” stamp. I think these little reddish dots makes such a difference in style on this little frame 🙂 Then I stamped, colored and die cut this cute...

Birthday Skating Party with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Jan 16, 2019 | Uncategorized

Today I’m sharing a card I made for my niece’s birthday. She loves animals and pink, so that was the starting point for my card. I think the Skating Party set is perfect for winter birthdays. I decided to create an indoor skating party scene. I began by stamping my images with a copic friendly black ink, them colouring them in with a colour palette of turquoise, pink, and purple. I also stamped and coloured the string of lights from the Halloween Party stamp set. This stamp is perfect for year round cards. I’d recommend die cutting first and then...
