Count on LOVE

Today's super fun challenge on Splitcoast Stampers is to use scrabble letters on our cards. This card was built around what word I wanted to use on a card. I used the word love and added a bit of sparkle to the O to have it look like a ring. I added some distressing to the edge of the tiles to give it an aged feeling. The tiles and hearts (all hearts) are cut and punched from the scraps bin to create this fun card and the card can be used for a wedding card, anniversary card and Valentine's day card. Great way to create a card for many occasions.

Snow Much Fun

Another super fast card for Christmas. Adding the watercolor to the background really finished off the die cuts I used on this card quite nicely. Finishing it off with the sequins was just the right amount of sparkle to add to the sparkle on the star.

Swnging Owl

I love to create 3D cards and when I used the Bendi Frame technique found on Splitcoast Stampers I fell in love with it. I am sure going to use it again. Coloring this darling image and popping him up on dimensionals and finishing off with a 3D frame and flowers really brought this card to a whole new level. I have the link on my card below that will take you to the the tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers for the Bendi Frame.

Ride in to the Sun

Another great teen card...Using the stencil from Tim Holtz I sprayed yellow all over then a small amount of pink then finished off with some orange to create this sunshine. Then the image was stamped many times to get the silhouette really dark and finished off with a shimmery black emboss powder to have it really stand out on the card.

Here is another fast way to do a card...stamp a great image that does not require coloring, add some detailed sponging to the edge of the card and a bit of bling and you can have a card in moments.

Just a Note

Need a fast note card? Grab any card stock, add some score lines and add a single punch or die cut and a sentiment. Want to add some sparkle, add a bit of bling and you have a super fast card and super cute card.

Great tip for adding to a card with what you have available, use an old book or a page from a magazine. For me I had this old book that was left from a previous home owner that had been used as a door stop and was torn up. Most would have thrown it out, I grabbed it for my craft stash.  Stamping images over the text and then coloring them and adding some distress inks on the edge brought this card to life.
