Shimmering, Shakin Yay Kites

Hi I am here with you on this drizzly, cold spring day.  At least it is in my part of the world.  A perfect day for crafting on the upside.

I am sharing my Bizzy Becs DT card for this month which uses the totally versatile,

extremely cute Lawn Fawn Yay, Kites stamp and Yay, Kites Lawn Cuts

For my card I decided to make a scene shaker card. 

I stamped the kite and clouds on the card base and coloured with Shimmering H20 paints, then I cut the glitter card for the frame and adhered the acetate to it.  I then added my foam tape to the base so it couldn't be seen and poured in the sequins and flattened them out so I could stick the frame and acetate on.

I then stamped and cut the "hello" and squirrel and glued them to the top.

The pic above shows the sequins all shaken out, cute hey?

Thanks loads for joining me today and I hope I have inspired you to make a shaker card of your own

Lou.

CAS Card for Bizzy Becs.

Hi, I am here today to share a Clean and Simple but effective card with you.

I normally do layered cards with a cute image in the middle and I would say that cute and layered is definitely my "style".  However sometimes the person or mail restrictions just don't lend themselves to a frou frou card.

This is when CAS cards come into their own for me.

I decided that a simple but pretty Thank You card was what was required for this post.

So here it is....

I have used Flower Festival by Penny Black for the image,the set has a lovely selection of flowers to choose from.  Since I adore yellow I chose the marigolds. I stamped the image onto Neenah Cardstock and coloured it up with Shimmering H2O watercolours.

The die I used is similar to the Frantic Stamper Accessory Words #3 die.

I popped up the butterfly with some foam tape to finish.

I hope I have inspired you to try something different and step out of your comfort zone.

Flying High with Bizzy Bec's

Hi, I am here today to share a birthday card with you, made with wonderful products from Bizzy Bec's Store.

I had loads of fun with this card, although there was a touch and go moment which I will tell you about shortly...

I started with a 6x6 base which i then sponged with dye ink to make the sky background.

I then stamped Ramona and her teddy by Stamping Bella on to Neenah Heavy Weight Cardstock with memento ink.  I then coloured up my image with my promarkers, and here came the touch and go, the blue part was originally pink, but when I had finished the image I realised how hideous the pink looked with the rest of the colours so I coloured over it with blue markers.  Luckily it turned out ok :)

I then fussy cut the image and put aside.

Next I cut my Memory Box Puffy Clouds and Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillsides.  I inked the edges on the hills to give them some definition.

I then stuck everything down on the inked card base and drew a frame in with white pen.

Then I decided it needed a sentiment so I embossed Happy Birthday with Lawn Fawn Big Scripty Words.

I hope you get a little inspiration to make a scene of your own on a card.

Lou
