Oceanfront/Seaside Bay Thank You Card - Kylie Bertucci's International Highlights Contest

 

  

Hello and welcome! I've entered this card in Kylie Bertucci's September International Blog Highlights contest! I hope you like it--and, if you do, I'd be very grateful if you would vote for me, please! Please click on the button below to go to Kylie's blog, and vote by clicking on the top right corner of the thumbnail of my card (#9), until you see the heart turn red. Thank you so much for your support!!

You may have noticed that I really like ocean themes, and that my favourite colour is blue! I've also become very partial to backgrounds made with Blending Brushes! 

I love our Seaside Bay stamp set and corresponding dies, as well as our Oceanfront stamp set! I used them to create this card--it's very similar to one that I made back in January, but it's a bit different layout, and updated with some new colours and new Designer Series Paper.

The scene is created using the stamps, as well as Blending Brushes. Using our Stampin' Masking Paper makes this card fairly easy! Our Soft Shimmer 12" x 12" Specialty Paper and Wink of Stella on the water and shells give my card a bit of sparkle!

I used Smoky Slate to stamp the shells on Basic White Cardstock, then painted them with Wink of Stella, die cut, and adhered them. I tied a 20" strand of Linen Thread around the card, and then tied it in a bow.

Thanks very much for stopping by--and for voting!!! If you like my card, please vote here--then remember to click on the top right corner of the thumbnail of my card (#9) until the heart turns red--that way you know that your vote is registered:

Waves of Inspiration Thank You Card #3 - Kylie Bertucci's Top Ten Winners' Blog

 

Hello, and thanks for visiting my blog! And thank you VERY much for voting my card into the Top Ten in Kylie Bertucci's August International Blog Highlights competition!! I am so excited to be considered part of a group of such amazing designers from all over the world, and to have been invited to participate in the Top Ten Winners' Hop again! (I am posting my winning card at the bottom of this blog entry, in case you didn't see it.)

The Waves of Inspiration stamp set and Waves Dies are favourites of mine, but I haven't played with them for a while! I made a similar card to this quite some time ago. I thought this time that I'd combine some Blending Brush backgrounds with our new Holographic Trio Specialty Paper.

The specialty paper comes with two silvery sheets, and one that is a gorgeous ombré that blends from Starry Sky at one end into a Berry Burst colour at the other side. There are two of each pattern, so six sheets in a package. My photos don't do it justice! (Nor does my YouTube video--it looks crazy on camera!)

Here is the card I submitted for this month's contest. Thanks again for voting it into the Top Ten! To see more photos and directions for the card below, click here.

I'd love for you to comment below, if you have a moment. 😊 Then be sure to check out the other Top Ten Winners' cards!!

Little Dreamers Baby Card #3--Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop--Sketch Challenge

Our Little Dreamers stamp set makes really cute baby cards!

Welcome to our August Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are featuring cards made using a sketch challenge! I love using a sketch--it makes it so much easier to design a card!

Well, for someone who's not overly fond of "cutsie" stamp sets, I am having a lot of fun making cards with our Little Dreamers stamp set--it makes such cute baby cards! I used a Lemon Lime Twist and Basic Black colour combination, and added our Black & White 1/4" Gingham Ribbon.

Here's the sketch that we used for this month's blog.

I stamped the calf in Tuxedo Black Memento, and then coloured it with Basic Black and Petal Pink Stampin' Blends. The DSP is our Glorious Gingham 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, and the embellishments are from the Tinsel Gems Four-Pack.

If you have a moment, I'd love for you to leave a comment below! But first, be sure to check out the gorgeous creations below!!  

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
