Yellow Thank You

Good morning!  I'm back with another bold geometrical card featuring one of the new August stencils from A Colorful Life Designs.  I used the Mid Century Circles and Squares stencil with some yellow ink over a yellow card, and I faded the color out towards the edges.  I added a die cut sentiment and flower (Altenew) and that's it for a quick and easy thank you card.

Hey Bauhaus Friend

Good morning!  Today there is a new stencil release at A Colorful Life Designs, and this month is all about bold geometrical stencils.  I'm starting off with this fabulous new Bauhaus stencil.  I randomly inked up a white panel with yellow, orange, and pink inks and then I placed the Bauhaus stencil over this panel.  After I brushed black ink over the stencil, I adhered the panel to a black card and added the sentiment (Concord and 9th).

Mermaid Trio Birthday

Good morning!  Here is one more mermaid card before July is over, and this one was really fun to create.  I placed the Layered Mermaid Tail onto the right side of a white card and brushed some orange ink over that.  I removed the stencil, cleaned it, and placed it in the middle so I could brush some yellow ink over that.  I removed the stencil again, cleaned it, and placed it on the left side of the card to brush some pink ink over that.  Then I rotated the stencil and placed the scales inside the orange tail and brushed a darker orange ink over the scales.  I removed the stencil, cleaned it, and placed it over the yellow tail, brushed a darker yellow ink over that, and then repeated the process with a darker pink ink for the pink tail.  After I placed the sentiments (Taylored Expressions), I added some Crystal Iris Aurora Borealis Card Bling all over the card.

Just think of all the different color combos you could use for a card like this.  It would be so fun to have a whole rainbow of these cards on hand for birthdays, wouldn't it?  You can use this code, HollyFan10, to save 10% off everything in your cart (excluding Master Creator Bundles) at A Colorful Life Designs.  Pick up this Layered Mermaid Tail stencil and some Card Bling and you'll have a stash of birthday cards ready to go.  Have a wonderful day!

 

JOY Sparkles - BYSHC Christmas in July

Good morning!  There is a fun Linky Party over on the BYSHC blog for Christmas in July, and I'm playing along by posting some new Christmas cards this week.  Today is the last day of the party, so get those cards uploaded!

I went sweet and simple with today's card.  I brushed some teal ink over the Sparkles stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use code HollyFan10 to save) onto some teal cardstock, and then I cut it out with a stitched rectangle die.  It's really hard to see, but I sprayed some silver glitter over this panel for a little sparkle.  Then I added the die cut letters and snowflake (MFT) to spell out JOY and glued this panel to a white card.

Merry Christmas Multi-Colored Trees - BYSHC Christmas in July

Good morning!  There is a fun Linky Party over on the BYSHC blog for Christmas in July, and I'm playing along by posting some new Christmas cards this week.

Here's the second card I promised with those tiny little trees.  I sponged Versamark over the Merry Christmas stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use code HollyFan10 to save) onto a kraft card.  I die cut two arches - one from white and one from green cardstock.  I embossed the sentiment onto the green arch with white powder and then cut this green arch in half.  I glued this sentiment half-arch onto the white arch and added those tiny trees to the white half.  Some twine was wrapped around the arch under the trees and tied into a bow and then this arch was adhered to the card with foam tape.

Deck the Halls with Green Trees - BYSHC Christmas in July

Good morning!  There is a fun Linky Party over on the BYSHC blog for Christmas in July, and I'm playing along by posting some new Christmas cards this week.

Remember I said you'd be seeing more trees on the next two cards?  This one was fun to put together.  I just took my time and mixed and matched all the different tree shapes and colors and added a dark green strip to the right side.  Then I cut the sentiment (also Concord and 9th) and adhered it with foam tape.

Fa La La Trees - BYSHC Christmas in July

Good morning!  There is a fun Linky Party over on the BYSHC blog for Christmas in July, and I'm playing along by posting some new Christmas cards this week.

I was looking for some inspiration for the Tree Lot Inlay Die from Concord and 9th, and when I looked at the samples on their website, a card that Carissa Wiley created really inspired me.  I changed up the colors and did the background a little differently.  I brushed some pink ink over the Fa La La stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use code HollyFan10 to save) and then adhered that to the left side of a white card.  I die cut a bunch of trees in different colors and then grouped five trees together onto a die cut arch and added the die cut sentiment.  You'll be seeing more trees on the cards I made for the next two days LOL!
