Catch a star with Visible Image

 Hi Everyone. It's time for my fortnightly design team make for Visible Image. Today I am sharing a pair of tags made using the beautiful 

Catch a star stamp set.

 This set is perfect not just for cards but for gift tags too.

Both tags were made in the same way. I die cut 2 tags using black card. When stamping and heat embossing on black card I always use an anti static bag to prevent the coloured embossing powders sticking to areas I want to keep black.  

The standing child was gold heat embossed. Then I stamped and white heat embossed the large star. Lastly I repeat stamped the background using the star cluster stamp and also white heat embossed those too. 

I stamped and gold heat embossed the words onto strips of black card and then stuck them in place.

I used exactly the same process for the sitting down child tag. 

For a finishing touch I layered them onto gold card and added a gold ribbon to each.

Here they are once more individually. 

I will be back in 2 weeks with my next VI make and a little heads up that it might be Christmas in July with a brand new release. 

Thanks for stopping by.

The grand finale of our STAMPlorations 13th Birthday celebrations

Wow what a fun week of 13th birthday celebrations we have enjoyed over at STAMPlorations ! I hope you have too?

These are my final 3 cards I made to showcase some of the brand new products which are in store now.

First up is a card using the fab Focal fronts . I used the coffee and roses one and teamed it with the Nothing makes sense  typografia stamp

My 2nd card is another using the lovely new face stencil

and my final card showcases one of the new Big cupcake colourables with an ATC from the Colour me spring set on top of a sheet of Floral 1 backdrops The daisy background edge was stamped using Fluttery and the sentiment is also from that set.

You still have today to join in with the birthday fun. Remember to head over to the STAMPlorations blog for all the details. It's open to everyone worldwide. 

Happy 13th birthday to Shery and her wonderful brand!

Summer butterflies from Visible Image

Hi Everyone. It's time for my fortnightly design team make for Visible Image.

Today I'm sharing a clean and simple summery birthday card featuring the Antisocial Butterfly stamp set

 paired with a sentiment from Best Birthday Ever set 

and the Seeing Stars stencil.

To create the background, I blended these 3 Distress Ink colours through the stencil, keeping the design fresh and vibrant.

I then stamped the butterfly using Nocturne Versafine Clair ink

 I added the small butterflies to create some movement.

I then stamped the butterfly a second time onto a scrap of white card and added a touch of water colouring using two of the same ink colours to tie everything together.

 After fussy cutting the butterfly, I attached it with foam tape to give the wings a little extra dimension and movement.

 

I then matted onto a red piece of card and then onto a white card blank.

Here is one final photo.

 Below is an alternative version of the same design featuring an inked background created with Distress Spray Stains in the same colours.

I love how versatile this layout is and how easily it can be adapted for different looks while keeping that clean and simple design style.

Thanks for stopping by.
