Sometimes its nice to send a card for no reason at all. Its always nice to get a little surprise in the post when you aren’t expecting it. I am going to be sending a batch of cards to some colleagues who work for the same company, but are based all over the place, so i will be making some generic, non-greeting specific cards over the next few weeks.
Here’s the video of how i made the card, but apologies if i sound a bit odd -i am still recovering from a cold so my throat and sinuses are still not back to normality.
For the card i used the Sending and Wishing release from SimonSaysStamp- in particular the Sending Happy Thoughts Clear stamp set. I love that there are so many great images in these stamp sets that can be used on generic cards, or can be added to a sentiment to make an even more interesting theme specific card.
One of my favourite stamps is the hello circle – great for background stamping, especially in the SSS fog dye ink- it fades into the background beautifully.
The little girl in her yellow jacket is a Darcie’s Dancing in the Rain cling stamp, coloured with Spectrum Noir colouring pencils and using blending solution. She reminds me of Princess Pi, who just loves jumping in muddy puddles!
We have had a busy weekend over here in the Oman household – with Piper’s birthday party, Nannie & Granda C visiting and Piper’s actual birthday yesterday. I almost felt glad to be back at work so i could have a rest……almost!
With all the party prepping for our now FOUR year old, there hasn’t been much crafting this week, but here’s one of my most favourite cards that i made a few weeks back and haven’t had a chance to share with you guys yet – this little Robot Shaker Card.
I think i am in love with these robot stamps- so very cute. I think Lawn Fawn is overtaking Hero Arts as my favourite stamp manufacturer!!
Have fun watching the video and don’t forget to give me a thumbs up if you like it!
I think the Irish inside of me is trying to get out – I’m not sure if you could tell with this card!? 🙂
This card was all about a fun way to use my SimonSaysStamp heart mask with ink, but to create a non-loveydovey card. I had lots of fun, and love the final card. The mask moved a little, so some of the shamrocks are a bit ‘whimsical’ but hey, thats all part of the fun.
Here’s the video. Please, please share it and also give it a Thumbs Up if you are enjoying my videos.
Happy St Patricks Day (in advance!). May the luck of this Irish Gal be with you always!
