Kat Scrappiness Birthday Quokkas

 I'm back with a card that features products from the Birthday Quokkas release.

My card today is a standard A2 card made from heavyweight white cardstock.  I used the Never Ending Rectangle Craft Dies to cut my pattern paper. My pattern paper is from the Birthday Quokkas 6" X 6" paper pad. I used the second biggest die to cut the birthday party paper, and the 4th die to cut the green Happy Birthday paper.

Next, I stamped my Quokka from the Birthday Quokka Stamp set on to some Bristol Smooth cardstock with some Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and added some clear embossing powder. When I saw this image of the Quokka the first thought that came to mind was, he needed to be coming out of the top of a birthday cake. So, I went to the Birthday Essentials Craft Dies and cut the cake and icing also from Bristol Smooth cardstock.

I colored my images with my Zig Clean Color Clear Brush Markers. I added some blue glitter glue from my stash to the frosting and also dotted it on the side of the cake, it's a birthday party so of course the cake needed sparkle.

I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment on some white cardstock and colored the Birthday banner with a couple of Copic Markers. I then die cut a ballon string from the Birthday Essentials Craft Dies from some Kraft cardstock. I cut the string in half and glued it them to the banner and also to the paws of the Quokka.

I adhered my pattern paper down flat to my card. I popped up my cake with foam tape and adhered my Quokka and sentiment flat to the card, slipping him just behind the top layer of the cake.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope to see you soon.

BYSH Cardmakers Spring into Christmas Linky Party Day 5

 

Today's card for Day 5 of the BYSH Cardmakers Spring into Christmas Linky Party features products from two of our sponsors, Lawn Fawn and cardstock from Gina K Designs.

My cardbase is a heavyweight blue cardstock from Gina K Designs. I scored and folded it to make an A2 cardbase. I used the Winter Wonderland Window dies and die cut them out with some white glitter cardstock. I then used just the arch die in the set to cut a piece of the English Breakfast pattern paper from the Favorite Flannel 6" X 6" paper pad to behind my window.

Next, I stamped my images from the Winter Birds stamp set with some Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder onto some Bristol Smooth cardstock. I colored my images with my Zig Real Brush Markers. Once my images were dry, I cut them out with the matching dies. For the snow on the tree branch I used some Shimmering Ice Acrylic Structure Gel from Kat Scrappiness. It gave it a nice shimmery look. 

To put my scene together, I added some liquid adhesive to the back of the pattern paper I adhered it to my card base. I then added some thin foam strips to the back of my window. Before adhering down my window, I glued my tree branch down because I knew I wanted it tucked behind the window. I then added my window. I then adhered my bird to the nest and added him to the end of the branch with some thin foam squares and liquid adhesive. Next, I added the snow to the branch, also with liquid adhesive, then added the bird with a thin foam square. My mama bird is adhered to the card with some liquid adhesive.

I stamped my sentiments, which are from the same stamp set, with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. I hope you liked the card. Thanks for stopping by. Head over to BYSH Cardmakers Spring into Christmas Linky Party  and link up your project.

BYSH Cardmakers Spring into Christmas Linky Party Card 3

 

Today I have a card using a stamp from another one of our sponsors Colorado Craft Company.

I stamped my image on some water color cardstock using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and heat embossed it with some clear embossing powder. 

I colored my image with my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers and a water brush. After my image was dry I matted it with some blue cardstock and added it to my A2 white heavyweight card base.

Falling for the Holidays BYSH Cardmakers Linky Party

 

It's here! As hard as it is to believe, October is almost over. That means it is time for our Fall Linky Party over at BYHS Cardmakers.

We have some awesome sponsors for our party. We've had several new sponsors join us, so more chances to win a prize.

Speaking of prizes, I won 3 wonderful stamps sets from Colorado Craft Company at our last linky party. (Sorry for the glare.) Colorado Craft Company is a returning sponsor for our October linky party.

 

My first inspiration project was made using one of the stamps I won.

I stamped my image onto some Distress Watercolor cardstock with Versafine Clair Nocturn ink and heat embossed it with some clear embossing powder. I colored my image using my Zig Real Brush markers and a water brush.  I used a scalloped mini slimline die from Kat Scrappiness to cut down my image panel. I just ran my panel through twice as the die was too long. Kat Scrappiness is a new sponsor for our linky party. I mounted my image panel on some blue cardstock.

For my card base I started with some heavyweight white cardstock that I cut, scored and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. I cut a blue mat at 4 1/8" X 5 3/8". My pattern paper is from Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow Christmas 6" X 6" paper pad that is cut down to 4" X 5 1/4".  I adhered the pattern paper to the blue mat with liquid adhesive. I adhered those to my card base also with liquid adhesive. I added my matted image panel to my card base using some foam tape. Lawn Fawn is also back as a sponsor for our linky party. To finish the card, I added some tiny snowflake sprinkles also from Kat Scrappiness.

Thanks for stopping by today. I would love to hear from you letting me know what you think about my project so feel free to leave a comment and follow my blog. I hope you will head over to the BYSH Cardmakers blog and link up a project of two. It's fun to play along and who knows you might win a prize.
