Purrrr-fect Birthday

Hello friends - thank you for all of your visits and the lovely comments you leave me, I love knowing you have been and appreciate you taking the time to leave the encouragement that you do!  I have something adorable to share with you today - how gorgeous is this little kitten from the 3D line of Spellbinders Stamps - as a friend of mine would say #totesadorbs! LOL!

The kitten is the Christmas Kitten Holiday 3D Shading Stamp and they really are as easy as they say to use.  I have stamped the image using Imagine Crafts Memento Ink in Expresso Truffle, lightly adding some colour on the ribbon, ornament and eyes.  It has been fussy cut/hand cut using scissors - a very easy task with this image.

The pink card base has been cut/embossed using the A2 Curved Matting Basics B Card Creator Etched Dies  #7 (#1 being the smallest).  The card stock has been folded in the centre and the fold line placed inside the cutting edge on the A2 Curved Matting Basics B, to form the card base.  White card has been cut using A2 Matting Basics A Card Creator #6 (#1 being the smallest).

The centre of the white card has been sponged using Imagine Radiant Neon's in Electric Yellow, Electric Pink and Electric Orange and stamped with a diamond background stamp and Teal Zeal ink onto the sponged area, along with a post mark on Rhubarb Stalk. The image has been popped up onto the lower portion of the sponged land stamped layer using  Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam squares.  A computer generated sentiment, Washi Tape and sequins have been added.  This layer has been popped up into the card base using  Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam squares.  So very quick and easy - don't you agree.  I think I will be using this stamp for more than Christmas cards - it is suitable for so many occasions!

Take Care my Friend

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by!  I have working hard to complete deadlines but have managed to have a little time in The Studio, pottering and enjoying the process and this card is the outcome. It is handy having a few stamped off images on my desk, ready for a moment like this - often later at night - ok the early hours of the morning. Wink:wink!

This is such a serene scene using the Spellbinders Lighthouse 3D Shading Stamps.  I have stamped the image using Imagine Memento Ink in London Fog, for a slightly softer look.  It has been coloured using Memento Inks in Summer Sky, Desert Sand, Bamboo Leaves and Dandelion using Sponge Daubers.  

As I have mentioned before I do love to colour using the Daubers, they give such a great look - even when the colours are softer - like these. You can get a lot of detail using the sides of them - you should give it a try!

The image has been cut.embossed using the Spellbinders Nestabilities Curved Rectangles Etched Dies using the  Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine - 6" Platform.  It has been layered onto a slightly larger blue background using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Crafty Foam Tape, followed by a white card base using double sided tape.

The sentiment is from Hero Arts and has been stamped using Imagine Memento Ink in Danube Blue - the curve in the sentiment fits this scene so well.  Blue and white twine has been wrapped around the card front and tied through a yellow button, which has then been glued to hold it in place.

Appreciate What Is

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by!  I have had to slow down a little as I have fallen prey to the 'mid-season lurgy' - and not happy about it...but one of the things we do when we are under the weather is to slow down - even if it is just a little.  I have had a little time in The Studio, pottering and enjoying the process and this card is the outcome.

How soothing is this scene using the Spellbinders Lighthouse 3D Shading Stamps.  I have stamped the image using Imagine Memento Ink in London Fog, for a slightly softer look.  It has been coloured using Memento Inks and Sponge Daubers.  I do love to colour using the Daubers, they give such a great look - even when the colours are softer - like these. 

The image has been cut.embossed using the Spellbinders Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Rectangles Etched Dies using the  Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine - 6" Platform.  It has been layered onto a slightly larger background using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Crafty Foam Tape, and then onto a navy card base using double sided tape.

The sentiment is from Hero Arts and has been stamped using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black.

Soft Kitty Warm Kitty Little Ball of Fur

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by.  I have been sorting through Dies and decided to use some of the Die Cuts I have got stored away and created a card using the adorable Spellbinders Christmas Kitten Holiday 3D Shading Stamp.  Don't let the name limit you - this gorgeous kitten could be used for many occasions including Valentines!

The image has been stamped using Imagine Versafine Ink in Vintage Sepia and lightly coloured the ribbon and decorations using Chameleon Pens.

The  Christmas Kitten has been fussy cut/hand cut using scissors and popped up onto white card stock that has been cut/embossed using the Spellbinders Nestabilities Romantic Rose Etched Dies using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.

The card front has been created using patterned paper from my stash.  The right edge has been cut/embossed using a plain cutting edge from the A2 Curved Borders One Card Creator Etched Dies and the Scalloped Edge cut/embossed on pink card stock and adhered to the card front using the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Runner Grand.  The layered card front has been popped up onto a pre-cut pink card front using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.

A double white Seam Binding Bow has been adhered below the image and a Mulberry Paper Rose glued to the knot and a Want2Scrap Beautiful Bling Border is added along the lower edge of the card.
