Sorry, I forgot!

Hi everyone, this is Jeanin from Craftin Desert Divas and I want to share this card with you today.


For this card I wanted to focus on the colors white, black, and gold and wanted it to keep simple. I started off die cutting a rectangle from white card stock and stamped the different outlines of the flowers from the Botanical Layers stamp set across the bottom of the card with VersaMark and embossed them with gold embossing powder. I made sure to mask off the flowers that would be in the front to be able to stamp the ones in the back. 




From gold mirror card stock I die cut the word "Sorry" from the Wishful Thoughts dies and adhered it at the top of the rectangle. To complete the sentiment, I used "I forgot" from the Wishful Thoughts stamp set and stamped it directly under the "Sorry" using black ink. For a bit more contrast, I die cut the large scalloped rectangle from black card stock and assembled my card. I used a white top-folded notecard and adhered both rectangles to it.

Thanks for stopping by! Have an amazing day!

Wishing you a liftetime of happiness

Hi everyone, I want to share this card with you today that I created with products by Craftn Desert Divas.


For this card I used the adorable cats from the "Lovies" stamp set and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I wanted to create this card in a CAS style. I used a simple strip of green shimmer paper and using a darker green ink, I stamped the circle border from the "Across the border" stamp set to give it a little bit more interest. 


I adhered the green strip to a white notecard and stamped the sentiment "Wishing you a lifetime of happiness" below it using black ink. I think this sentiment goes so well with the cats! 

I still thought there is something missing so I went ahead and die cut two flag banners from both white and kraft cardstock. I think the kraft cardstock works really well with the green strip and the gray color of the cats. I adhered them to the right side of the card, overlapping a little bit. To finish off the card, I adhered the cats with 3D foam squares.

Thanks for stopping by! Have an amazing day!

For this Linky Party I wanted to create a fun slider card using the Adventure Awaits and Adventure Land stamp sets! I had so much fun creating a galaxy Sneak Peek project for the new release that I wanted to make another one! 

Iused the astronaut from the Adventure Awaits set as well as the rocket and planet from the Adventure Land set, stamped them on watercolor cardstock and colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.

 

For the background, I started off applying Fossilized Amber, Pink Raspberry, Tilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot to mix media cardstock. Then, I spritzed it with water. Since the ink reacts with water it will be lifted off when dabbing the water away. This was the first layer of stars.  I also used white acrylic paint, Perfect Pearls "Pearl" and Gansai Tambi #95 and spritzed it on the panel with a brush. After everything was dry, I die cut it with the largest scallop frame from the Fancy Frame die set. 
To create the slider part of the card, I used an x-acto knife and cut out a strip from the center of the background. The strip had to be a bit smaller than the 1 cent piece I was going to use. To create the needed dimension, I used a few layers of foam tape all around the cut out strip and the rest of the panel. The cent piece needs a little bit of room to move around easily.   


I adhered down the cut out strip to a white notecard and also adhered the background panel, making sure to include the cent piece behind it. On top of the cent piece, I glued a small 3D foam square to which I was able to adhere the little astronaut. 
I found the perfect sentiment in the "Wishful thoughts" stamp set: "Wishing you were here with me". I stamped it with VersaMark ink on black cardstock and embossed it with white embossing powder. I cut the cardstock down to a strip and die cut it with the fancy frame die so the borders would match with the background panel. To finish the scene, I adhered the rocket and the planet to the card.
