Hello! :)

I know I've not been posting that frequently recently... so I'm back with a fun Inspiration Time with The Cutting Cafe.

This week we are using the BIG Expressions kits and this Sweet Big Expression Printable & Cutting File is just perfect for Valentine.

So, the fun part about this file is, I made 3 cards from just 1 cut! 

Talk about saving time :)

Perfect for those of us who are busy but need multiple cards.

So, here's how I did it.

First I cut the SWEET word on a white cardstock. 

Using the "blanks" as a see through, I backed it with some sweet pink Crate Paper patterned papers from the Hello Love collection. Then I just added another patterned paper along with some pearls using my Viva Decor paper pen.

For my next card, I used the letters that were cut from my first card as a mask. I adhered it using some temporary adhesive and inked the background with some Tim Holtz distress ink {abandoned coral & picked raspberry}. Then I removed the mask and revealed the white words! :)

And for my final card, I used the words from my second card which acted as a mask as the letters instead! Since it's all inked up nicely, it makes a sweet ombre effect on a simple background with heart stamps from The Ton. 

Hope you've enjoyed this simple 3-in-1 Sweet Cards for Valentine!

Happy Monday!

I have a baby boy card I made for my SVG Attic post, using the Baby Boy kit.

I used the cupcake toppers and put it on my card instead and I added some foam tape to it for that extra POP! The sentiment I got it from the banner and shrunk it to fit my card.

Want to make a baby girl card instead? No problem!

SVG Attic has a Baby Girl kit too.

Have a great week ahead!

For my first card, I am using this cute bunny from Susan Weckesser's Bunny Hugs kit.

I stamped the flowers and mushrooms at the bottom and inked some grass with Mama Elephant Lemongrass ink.

Since puffy stickers are trending now, I created this puffy stamp with some Glossy Accents. I applied it after I colored in the image using my Copic markers.

For my next card, I used this awesome birthday cake from the "Include Yourself in Beauty" kit.

I created this easy polka dots pattern just by using the end of my Trendy Twine Planner Addict pencil, the eraser part and dipping it into my Distress Ink pads. *dab dab dab* and here you go!

I cut the Happy word using some glitter foam and Heidi Swapp's die cut. The beautiful papers are by Crate Paper Maggie Holme's Confetti collection.

And for my final card, I am using this birthday cake stamp from the "Another Year Older" kit.

I painted the stripes using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors, which I absolutely LOVE because the colors are so pretty. Then I added some Ranger's Perfect Pearls to add the pearl shine on the card. See how shiny it is? :)

Hi hi! :)

Happy mid-week. 

I'm sharing this project over at the Unity Stamp Blog and show you how fun it is to use stamps on your planner. Here, I am using MAMBI's Happy Planner -- which is AWESOME btw! Have you seen the new planners for 2016? WOW.

OK, so back to the stamping :)

Here I have used the SMAK 02/15 "Life is what you make it" to stamp my planner.

I stamped the images in with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored them with my Prima oil pastels. Just a little color goes a long way!

For the sentiments, I used Mama Elephant's Tutti Frutti ink to ink them up.

Happy Tuesday :)

Can you believe that it's almost the end of January already? WOW how time flies.

For today, I have a fun bendy card for The Cutting Cafe Inspiration time over at their blog. 

I made this card using the Bendi-Bendy Card Template where you can make all kinds of fun bendy cards.

Here, I made a garden scene with all things pretty :)

I have used the grass and fence from the Garden Stand Ups template, which has beautiful props to build your scene. I have punched those glittery butterflies with my Martha Stewart punch.

The fun part about bendy cards are, it looks 3D when it's closed and when you open it up, it reveals another scene! Look, how cool right? 

The big tree with hearts is from the Beautiful Trees printable stamp set which I have opened up in my Silhouette Studio DE and turned it into a cut file. And the floating clouds are from the Cloud Nesting Frame Shaped card set; which I have embossed for the texture.
