Stained Glass Window Effect using stamps

Happy Tuesday!

I hope you have a fantastic day!

I decided to start a series called 'Rediscover my stash' and looking through my craft stash I came across this beautiful stamp set from one of the magazines which was released in 2016.

Today, I have 3 cards for you using one stamp set to create a stained glass window effect.

I used a different technique for each card which you can see in my YouTube tutorial.

Which card is your favourite?

3 Mandala cards

Happy Tuesday!

Hi all amazing crafters, I hope you have a wonderful day :)

Today, I wanted to share some great news with you :) I've launched my first cardmaking YouTube video featuring Mandala cards.

First video always takes a lot of time to create but I hope you will enjoy it. 

I hope this video will inspire you to make some Mandala cards. I would like to see them so leave the link to your creations below.

I used a stamp set and cutting die from Crafter's Companion from one of their magazines, 3D folder, Aqua pens by Spectrum Noir and Brusho.

Which mandala card is your favourite?

Torn edge rectange frames

Happy Sunday!

I hope you have a fabulous day :)

Today, I decided to make some birthday and nameday cards for my family. 

I used 2 embossing folders: Brocade and 3D Seamless Wave by Crafter's Companion. I created the flowers using an ombre paper pad that I received from an amazing cardmaker Paperfect Dublin, here is a link to her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Paperfect-Dublin-361592854713185/ and Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paperfectdublin/, she is a very talented cardmaker and I am so happy to see her beautiful creations.

I also used Distress Oxides to add colour to the background and I created the frame using 'Torn Edge Rectangle' nesting dies by Crafter's Companion.

I could not decide on the colour scheme so I made three cards :D

Which one is your favourite?

One ink blending A4 = 3 cards

Happy Friday!

What a week!

I hope you are full of energy and creative ideas :)

Today, I created a challenge for myself, I decided to do ink blending on one A4 card using 3 distress oxides (my favourite colours), and create 3 totally different cards using this one A4 'pattern paper'. 

Card  number one:

I used Simon Says Stamp - 'Hexagon floral' background stamp and heat embossed with fine black embossing powder, then I used a wet paintbrush to lift the colours from the flowers. I heat embossed and die cut a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp 'Hexagon greetings' and adhered with a foam pad. I matted and layered the panel and added some gold gems.

Card number two:

I die cut the front panel using Concord and 9th 'Hexagon designer dies' in white, black and the inked card. I stamped the parrots using Clearly Besotted 'Some birdie loves you' stamps with water-proof Spectrum Noir ink and fussy cut them. I used a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp 'Big thanks words - Best days' and a few gold gems.

Card number three:

I used a stencil from one of the crafting magazine kits and used black pigment ink to add contrast.I heat embossed the flower from Crafter's Inspiration magazine on vellum and used the same Distress Oxides to colour it in. The parrot comes from Clearly Besotted 'Some birdie loves you' stamp set and the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp 'Big thanks words - Best days'.

Are up for this challenge?

One A4 card = 3 handmade cards

Polish folk art cards - white background

Happy Thursday!

Thank you for visiting me today :) I hope you have a fabulous day :)

Today, I created these 3 cards using a stamp set 'Wycinanki' from Altenew. My inspiration was Polish folk art and Łowicki patterns. I really like the symmetry on these cards.

Today, it's my first day of summer holidays and guess how I spent it :D

Making cards with Polish folk art flowers :D

I used cutting dies from Altenew 'Wycinanki' and sentiment dies from my stash.

As you know I'm a huge fan of Polish folk art and Łowicki patterns which inspired me to create this set of cards.

Recently, I've come back to my totally favourite stamp set by Altenew called 'Wycinaki'. I used the stamps to create these 3 birthday cards. I'm a huge fan of Polish folk art and creating these panels was such a great time.
