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.

Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Pop Up Card - Birthday party theme

I absolutely adore this pop-up box card die. It is so much fun and there’s so many scenes you can create with it. I did a simple birthday theme for my first attempt using this die and I know I will use this die again many times in future.
