From the same cardstock, I also die cut the Friend script word, using the Friend die set. And I die cut the outline from white cardstock. I adhered the script word onto the outline with liquid adhesive. I then adhered the background panel onto the cardbase with liquid

Brooms for sale

I'm back with another guest design project for @whimsystamps. I used the new Witch broom sale and Grumpy dragons sets, together with a few older sets to set the scene. Just love how this card turned out. It seems this cute witch got distracted during her broom shopping and might get with something a tad bigger!

You warm my heart

Isn't this peeking mouse cute? For this @alexsyberiadesigns project, I paired the cute Sweet friends with the Beautiful Day collection Products Sweet Friend stamp and die Beautiful Day Hot Foil Plate Beautiful Day stencil set Beautiful Day stamp and die Quirky hearts die set Charming Flora Cover die Distress oxides: Scattered straw, Squeezed lemonade, Mustard seed, Wild honey, Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon   I started by cutting a panel from white cardstock 11 by 14 cm. I foiled one half of the panel, vertically, using the Beautiful Day Hot Foil Plate and Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Moondust. I then removed the hot foil plate and let it cool down for a few minutes. I then foiled the other side of the panel, in a mirror effect. I rotated the plate by 180 degrees and to align perfectly with the first foiled pattern, I placed the plate facing down aligning the plate on the pattern. I then taped one side of the plate on the panel and lifted the plate to sl

Happy Halloween wreath

For today's @pearblossompress project, I have a Halloween wreath with the Halo light. I thought I would write an actual blog post with instructions for a change, because this card was quite a journey.   I was initially picturing the cat hanging from the wreath but the embossing folder I used for the background cobweb wasn't long enough to have the cat hanging nicely on the card, so I had to change my plans while making the card. The cat was also supposed to be black but then it wouldn't have stood up as much on this background, so I finally did it again and opted for a white cat and I also had to make him stand. The die set does come with a sitting cat, but I really wanted to use the hanging version, so I replaced his feet by boots and then because his arms seemed a little awkward, I glued them in opposite directions which made him look like he needed to hold something. So here comes the broom, because, the set was right before my eyes!  So then the story turned into spider

You deserve a giant slice of happy!

I have only Pie for you

Sharing another Fall card with a fun mashup of @oapertreyink and @creativeexpressionscraft, including two cute sets illustrated by @janesdoodles. I had a bit of a struggle with this one and had to redo it. I still stumble a lot in arranging die cuts nicely and occupy space in a nice way, so I ended up adding more elements to the initial project and I'm happy with the result. This card has some cozy vibes!
