Hey lovelies!I'm here with an extra post today as I wanted to publish this in time for Valentine's Day this week! This is my personal favourite of all the cards I've created for the occasion this year! I started by drawing a rough estimate I wanted the shape of my pile of letters to be. I took my small envelope stamp from Heffy Doodle's "Yappy Happy Mail" stamp set and stamped a couple along the bottom using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I created masks for the envelopes using some post it tape. I repeated the masking and stamping process until...

Hey lovelies!I thought I'd change it up from all the love themed posts this week and make a birthday card instead. Sea themed stamps are ones I've always struggled with, however I have a huge love for sharks and finally gave in to getting the "Sea-prise" stamp set from Avery Elle! I stamped my images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured them using my alcohol markers. I used a white gel pen to add highlights to my images and some texture to my pufferfish before fussy cutting them out. I cut a panel from white card stock using the...

Hey lovelies!This week I'm sharing a new home card, you never know when someone you care for will move home, it's always handy to have a card to welcome them in to their new space! I thought Lawn Fawn's "Happy Village" stamp set would be perfect for this occasion! I started by blending two backgrounds using Heffy Doodle's "UnbeLEAFable" stencil and Pine Needles Distress Oxide ink.  I splattered my backgrounds with the Pine Needles Distress Oxide ink and some gold watercolour paint before putting them aside to dry. Once they were completely dry I die cut two polaroid frames using...

Hey lovelies!Sharing another love themed card this week, this time I'm sharing my love for coffee with you using the Altenew "Coffee With A Splash" stamp set! This style is way out of my comfort zone as I'm familiar with using cutesy images on my card, it's always good to dust off the cobwebs and dive in to something a little different! I started by cutting two panels of card stock from the largest and second largest of the "Basic Rectangles" Creative Cuts from Mama Elephant, one from black card stock and the other from white. I used Vintage Photo...

Hello lovelies!This week I'm sharing a Valentine's Day card using Mama Elephant's "Little Bear Agenda" stamp set! I have a feeling these cuties are going to be appearing in a lot of my love themed cards this year! I stamped the entire set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured them using my alcohol markers, I like to batch stamp/colour when I know I'm going to be making lots of cards with this set! I added details and highlights using a white gel pen and fussy cut my images out. I cut down a piece of white card stock and...
