Christmas 2018 - Birch Tree

Hello and welcome! I had been ill on and off for the past 2 months and I just realised that I had totally forgotten to share my Christmas cards last year! OMG!

I had a couple of shaker cards to share with you today. Shaker card is an interactive card with a clear front and tiny elements inside the card that will move around when the card is shaken. All these cards have birch trees as a backdrop. 

Gift boxes 1

Warning: This is a long post. This was a project which I started in April 2018. I thought it would be nice to give a small token to all my colleagues on their birthday to show someone at work remembers and care since we spent a big chunk of the day at work it’s like a second home. So I started making gift boxes and filled them with treats to give to my colleagues on their birthdays.

Rainbow series 5 - background die cuts

Ah… All these beautiful rainbow colours, I hope they brighten up your day some. Today, I am sharing many, many cards I made using these rainbow die-cuts.

Polka dots background

I find that lately I had enjoyed spending time creating backgrounds for my cards. For the cards in the blogpost, I used MFT Peek-a-BooPolka Dots die to punch out many circles to create the card background. I finished all the cards differently using various elements that I had created previously and this technique is also a good way to use up your scraps.

Distress Oxides Embossed Background

Hello and welcome. Aren’t these backgrounds just gorgeous? I used Distress Oxide ink briefly in one of my earlier post and wanted to play with them more so I decided to do some background by blending Distress Oxide ink.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Fun in the Sun

I made 2 cards for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge with the theme Fun in the Sun using Mama Elephant product. When I think of Fun in the Sun, I thought of the beach or the park so I created these 2 cards based these scenes.I used primarily the images from Mama Elephant Little Boy Agenda, Little Girl Agenda and Little Cat Agenda.

Little Agenda & Distress Oxides Ink

I have been wanting to try Distress Oxide since I heard how well it blends with its dye and pigment properties. Ink blending has always been a challenge to me as I always find myself too heavy handed. As you can see in my cards here, the oxides ink blended very well and see how smooth they looked.
