This card is for my son's 20th birthday coming up in a couple of weeks. I hope he's reminded of our wonderful vacations on Vancouver Island and Whale watching!

The Orca is a Silhouette Cut file from the Silhouette online store by Suzanne Cannon of Quietfire Design. The Happy Birthday stamp is from the Happy Family Days stamp set from Quietfire Design
The Lighthouse is part of a Stamp Happens Inc. stamp.

I had a lot of fun and creative time over the weekend and hope you did too!
That's all for me today, thanks for stopping by!

Thank You Card

Hi there!

Today I'm sharing a quick and easy card.

The lovely watercolour background is actually double sided paper,

with awesome triangles on the one side.

The stamps used are Thank You from Quietfire Design

and the Poppy is from Stampin Up!

Here's a photo of the other supplies used.

To make this card I cut and folded the double sided Card stock for a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 base.
Then cut a triangle as shown.
I ran the Red Pepper Ink pad around all edges.
Using same Red Pepper Ink I stamped the Poppy and Thank You.
Next I used Peeled Paint Marker to colour the Poppy stems. Then traced to the inside of the stamped image with the Spiced Marmalade Marker. This was followed again with a wet brush to spread the Spiced Marmalade around some, leaving some areas untouched so the background colour also comes through for highlights.
Then I ran the Spiced Marmalade Marker around the triangle followed over by Clear Star Glitter Pen also added some Glitter to the Poppy at the same time. Punched the holes and added the knotted ribbon before adhering triangle to card base.

I hope you enjoyed your visit today!

Hello! It's snowed another foot over night and still snowing hard as I write this.

But never mind I'm warm and cozy inside and thinking Spring.

Today's share is a Birthday Card for an avid gardener with a jungle of house plants.

Again I've used the Flourishing Inside Hearts stamp from Quietfire Design as leaves.

The burlap paper Die Cut gives this card an organic feel and adds wonderful texture!

Love Lives Here -Shamrock Card

Hello again, here is my second card for today it features two lovely stamps

from Quietfire Design.

Flourishing Inside -Hearts and Love Lives Here

I'm entering this card in to three challenges, colorQ challenge #231,

Die Cut Divas lets emboss it March challenge and the brand new Virginia's View Challenge #1

I like how the black and green pop against the white base.

Detail of my DIY Embossing.

To do this I used the Oval Scallop Frame Bigz Die and

Big Shot to cut a mask out of Chipboard.

Next I attached the mask with repositionable tape to the inside front of my card stock base.

Placing my embossing mat on top of the card stock and running through my Big Shot

as I would any other Embossing folder.
(Warning, when experimenting go slow and never force anything or you will damage your Big Shot.)

I just love finding new uses for my craft supplies and tools.

Supplies Used;
Stamps -Quietfire design (Flourished inside -hearts, Love Lives Here
Inks and Markers -Stampin Up! (Garden Green), Ranger ( AI Jet Black, Perfect Medium)
Dies -Sizzix (Oval Scallop Frame, Primitive Hearts, Circle #2)
