Don't forget to smell flowers

The @alexsyberiadesigns Spring tulips stencil is such a great product to create a quick card. It is perfectly sized for an A2 card and can be blended in time with its set of 4 layering stencils. For these projects, I wanted to stretch the use of the stencil a little and created a stenciled version and one colored with my @olomarker OLO markers. To add a little dimension to the card, I also added that cute pair of bunnies from the Cheerful meadow die set.

Be yourself

Coloring Club Challenge No. 10 - Flower Power This little coloring challenge comes to an end!  Today's theme is Flowers. For these two projects, I pulled a couple @pinfreshstudio sets and colored one card with Copic markers and the other with OLO markers, courtesy of @olomarker.

A little flower for a big heart

A little flower for a big heart... The Penguin love set from @alexsyberiadesigns is perfect for love and friendship cards and it has a lot of cute sentiments with their coordinating dies Alex Syberia Design products: Penguin love Love & XOXO die set Heart garland cover die To create this card, I die cut the Heart garland cover die from white cardstock and adhered it on a red panel of the same size, with liquid adhesive. I then adhered the panel onto the cardbase. Next, I stamped the penguins from the Penguin love set, the red roses several times and the small sentiment, and colored the images with Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut all images and sentiment. Next, I die cut the XOXO letters from pink and red cardstock, using the Love & XOXO die set. I then glued the pink letters onto the red letters, offsetting them slightly to create a shadow. To glue the XOXO letters, I first placed them on my desk, and aligned the letters above my ruler. I picked the letters w...

XOXO

I'm sharing a simple card idea which I made from leftovers. I had stamped additional penguins from the Penguin love set and thought it would be fun to create a background card. Alex Syberia Design products: Penguin love Heart garland cover die Endless hearts die Love & XOXO die set From our hearts To create this card, I stamped the penguins from the Penguin love set and colored the images with Copic markers. I then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I also die cut the Xs from red and pink cardstock with the Love & XOXO die set, a few times, as well as the Endless hearts from the same cardstock and kept two small sizes the same height as the Xs. I also stamped the Love sentiment from the From ourt hearts set and die cut it with the coordinating dies. Finally, I die cut the background panel from white cardstock with the Heart garland cover die. To assemble the card, I glued the Heart garland panel with liquid adhesive onto the cardbase, and then glued the letters, pe...
