Pretty Pink Posh | Winter Wonderland Birdies

Hi there! Today I have a fun and sweet card made with the birds from Pretty Pink Posh Winter Wonderland. 

I started by coloring and die cutting the birds and branch from the set. Then on a separate cardstock, I blended Distress Oxydes. Once that was all dried up, I splattered Gold Watercolor and adhered the circle to the white card base that had been matted over the red cardstock.

To finish, I heat embossed the sentiment on red cardstock and attached that to red twine!

And that's that! Fast, sweet and easy! You can totally make this in 10 minutes. 

Hugs,

Studio Katia | Happy Mandala Flower & Blooming Together | Guest Designer

Hi all! Crystal here with a special post for Studio Katia! 

I am super excited to be guest designing with Katia and the team. Her stamps are GORGEOUS and with so many possibilities.  I spent a very happy day coloring this card.

This card was super fun to make as it took stamping the mandala, then coloring each with Copic markers. 

Then, I heat embossed the "happy" onto vellum. Trimmed and adhered to the card base with foam tape. 

On black cardstock, I added the "you make me" and heat embossed that on white.

To finish off, I added the super fun Iridescent Crystal Mix facing up.

There is glitter Nuvo on the white areas on the actual mandala.

And it the whole thing made me quite happy. Now, this is not the end of the projects for me. Next up is a watercolor wonder, using the Together We Bloom stamp set and the Dotted Patterns: Fancy Square creative dies. 

Now for this c, rd I relied heavily on my heat embossing gun! I stamped the florals from Together We Bloom on to heavy watercolor paper, and heat embossed in white. Using my watercolors, I dabbed the paint on to the florals. 

The sentiment is then heat embossed on to the scallopped frame and embellished with Crystal Rainbow Confetti. 

This card turned out quite bright and happy. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Pretty Pink Posh | Sea Friends

Hi, friends! Happiest of Mondays! To start this hardest day of the week (right?!) I have this clean and simple card made with Pretty Pink Posh Sea Friends. 

These cute little critters are so much fun and perfect for an encouraging card.

To make this I started by die cutting my white cardstock's edge with Stitched Borders 3. Next, I blended Altenew Sea Glass. The fish and corals from Sea Friends were then stamped and colored with copics. The sentiment is from Thoughtful Greetings stamp set.

The whale is also colored with Copics and die cut with the coordinating Sea Friend Dies. 

 To finish I added 4mm and 6mm Clear Droplets. 

How fun is that?! I love these cute little critters and keeping my card simple.

Thanks for stopping by!
