Many times, we love an image and WISH it could be stamped the other way round... Well, now you can! With mirror stamping, you'd get the reflected image. Here I have used this cute teacup stamp from the February KOM "Allow beauty" and colored it in with some colored pencils. For the reflection, I have used the same colors but just coloring it much lighter.

For my second card, I am using this NEW flower stamp.

In the video, I will show the basics of shading and coloring with Copic markers (or any other markers you have). Just grab 3 shades of the same color and start coloring!

Since I am obssessed with seeing an aurora in real life (which I will one day!!), I decided to color my own aurora sky :)

I have used the cute "Little Woodland Creatures" stamps and colored in my aurora sky with my lightest colors of Copic markers. Quick and easy, fun to do!

***

And for my final card for today's hop, I am using this cute "Dottie Bunny".

Using some Viva Decor modeling creme in Gold and Heidi Swapp's mini stencils, I have created a simple textured pattern for my card. Since gold foil is the craze, why not gold embossing paste? :)

AND... here's the BEST part!

There's a HUGE SALES going on NOW!

Happy Tuesday!

Today I am sharing over at The Unity Stamp blog a quick and fun card, using the February KOM kit "Allow Beauty".

First up, some cards I made using the color challenge {red and kraft} for February.

I used the new stamps "Love in the margins" and did some embossing with the WRMK Next Level embossing folders; which creates a 3D effect! So cool, right?

***

And finally, some CUTE PANDAS!

I did some quick bookmarks and colored them in with my Peerless watercolors. Punch a hole, tie a ribbon and it's done!

Don't forget to shop at Unity Stamp and have a great weekend! :)

Happy Mid Week :)

It's Inspiration Time at The Cutting Cafe and today it's FLOWER POWER time!

I made this card using the Sentiments Stems and Flower Tops Printable stamp set and printed them onto some patterned paper.

I also added some texture on the flowers, along with some butterflies and grass ;)

This is a fun set that you can use in many different ways! 

Do check out the other DT's inspirational work on The Cutting Cafe Blog.

Happy weekend :)

To puffier you want it to be, apply a thicker layer of the glossy accent :)

For my next card, I did some foiling with a glue pen (since I do not have Minc or a laminator).

Just remember after applying the adhesive, let it dry a bit but not completely dry before applying the foil (pretty side up!).

Oh and did I mention Unity Stamp has a SALES going on right now?

Happy shopping and happy weekend :)

Happy Chinese New Year! 

It's the FIRST day of the lunar new year and right now, I'm meeting up with loved ones and feasting away :)

So, to usher in the beautiful new year, I made this bouquet of lilies from JGW Flower Boxcard Bouquets for my DT post on the SVG Attic blog.

I chose RED because it is the traditional colors for the new year and it's BRIGHT! :)

I also handwritten the word 福 which means fortune or good luck and embossed it in gold on the tag. I also added some Viva Decor liquid pearls and tied it with some Trendy Twine in Lemon Peppermint.

Wishing you a year of good health, wealth and blessings! :)

Hello and happy weekend!

It's ALMOST New Year and today is the EVE -- where we will be having reunion meals with our family. 

I made a few cards using Mama Elephant's cute lunar animals and extras stamp set. It was too cute to resist and just perfect for Chinese New Year cards!

For my first card, I wanted to fit all 12 zodiac animals on it but couldn't (haha!) so I did 3 animals instead. The previous year was the Year of the Ram (sheep), this year in gold is the Monkey and for next year it's the Chicken. Hence, why these 3 animals were picked :)

I added the Chinese hat and angpow (red packet) for the monkey and added some gold glitter cardstock to highlight him, since it is his year after all :)

I also gold embossed the 福 word in gold (which means good fortune/luck).

***

For my next cards,  I created a scene using the fortune cat and the monkey again -- plus lanterns, firecrackers, cherry blossoms and more! I colored each of it using my Copic markers, then cut out each element and pieced them together. (Thank God for Silhouette PixScan) 

Took me some time, but I liked how it turned out!

For the backgrounds, I used the WRMK Next Level embossing folders which are AMAZING if you see it in real. The dimensions are just WOW! I also added some Gold glitter Viva Decor to add to the shine.

And I can't seem to get enough of these lunar animals, I made another card! 

Have a great reunion gathering with your loved ones and sooner than you know, it's time to usher in the NEW YEAR! :)

For my first card, I did my own galaxy sky background using some Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors. With some random colors peeking through and white paint as stars, you can make your own galaxy too!

For the cute characters from the Little Outer Space kit, I have stamped and colored them in with my copic markers. Then fussy cut it, adhered it onto my card using some pop up foam tape for the extra dimension.

***

For my next card, I stamped the "Adaline" Angie Girl onto some watercolor cardstock and colored her in with my Copic markers.

Then I used my new Molotow masking liquid pen to "mask off" the Angie Girl. Once dried, I painted in the background with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors then I simply peeled off the masking layer! I used an adhesive remover to help speed up the process.

Hope you've enjoyed the quick tips, now it's time to SHOP and get yourself a FREEBIE! :)
