Hi craffty friends, Claudia here with a new story told with a card. I love animal stories and this one tells of two cuddly bears decorating the Christmas tree.
For the night background, I used the Mini Haunted Blending Stencil to draw the moon. The magnificent tree is A2 Giant Christmas Tree Die. The bears are from last year's set A Polar Bear Christmas, one of my favourites.
I used the 5x7 Double Stitched Rectangle Dies to create a white frame. To give the sky a shimmering touch, I used the fantastic new Paper Splatter Watercolor - Liquid Gold .
I hope you enjoy my card and I also hope I have inspired you!

Hi crafty friends, Today I want to show you this card I made as I was starting to think about Easter. I made the background, using die cuts to create the embossing effect. I chose the new set A Bow for Any Reason Dies which has so many beautiful bows, really for any occasion. I first created the background with Hexagon Randomness 6x8 Stencil and glued many bows.
For the shaker I used the set 3.5" Connected Circles Shaker Creator Die for shaker card that allows us to create the front circle of the skahaker and also the inside, with as many as 5 circle sizes. I used the larger one, so I die-cut Extra Wide Foam Tape - White 50' Roll and chose the Sequin Mix Plus - Bunny Honey to decorate it. I used the Hippity Hoppity to All set with these beautiful eggs that I colored with the no-line technique. I hope you like my inspiration!!!

It is a card that opens on the front and you can insert a photo or a message, I find it very versatile and simple.To make it I chose the set Soar Butterfly Die with this beautiful butterfly that I shaded with purple, fuchsia and green. I then applied Paper Glaze Luxe - Wandering Gypsy with a brush to give shine to the center of the butterfly and the Paper Glaze - Raw Kale on the outside of the wings.
For the base of my card, I first shaded with purple, fuchsia, apple green and yellow, and decorated with the stencil Sea Scales 6x6 Stencil and Paper Glaze Velvet - Duckling Fuzz deluxe.

Hi all friends, I am happy to be here on the blog with a new inspiration. In the June release came out this fantastic stamp..... A Hummingbird's Song and as soon as I saw it I had the idea how to make my own card.
I created the background by mixing 6 different shades of ink, then stamped with black embossing powder. I really like the silhouette effect and I think this stamp is perfect for this technique. To embellish, I used Sequin Mix Plus Day of RaimbowHave a great week!!!

Hello dear friends, Valentine's Day is approaching and I created the card that I will give to my husband. It's not always easy to create cards for men, but I believe that men have kind souls too, especially him who loves animals. That's why I added these little bunnies. All in shades of blue that he loves.
To create it I prepared the background using the stencil Slim Line Raimbow of Hearts with my Life Changing Blender Brush
I then prepared the paper for the word Love from the set Mini Slim Line Stitched and Scalloped Rectangles applying it in this gorgeous blue Paper Gliz Navy Wingtips, let it dry well and die cut it.
I then die cut Love in black and white to give depth to the wording.
And here is my finished card, a couple of half pearls Gradient Flatback Pearls Navy Blu and Charcoal Gray to give shine.
I'm happy with the result and I think my love will like it too!!!
