Faux Quilt Candles

 

WT850 - Go Faux: use a faux technique

My mother in law gives me a list of people she would like cards made every year and a large part of the list are her quilty friends. The Faux Quilt Candles really seemed like a fun technique to use for quilt friends and I even have a quilt emboss folder.

I looked for some coordinating papers in my scrap drawer and cut them out to create the candles.

Next I used the old bird builder punch from Stampin Up to punch different yellows for the flames.

Once all papers were glued down I embossed the card stock  and then layered. Finished with the sentiment banner and some sequins.

This is a great technique to use up scraps for cards and super easy too. Plus you can use different colors and textures to change up the look of the card.

Thank you for stopping by to check out my card.

Best Fishes

 

CAS643 - Outdoor fun

I love creating masculine cards because I have a bunch of guys in my family. This is perfect for a few of them.

I stamped fish all over the black base layer and heat embossed in clear.

Stamped the fishing image in black and while the image was still in the die cut I sponged blue.

Stamped the sentiment cut and added just a bit of copic to the sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals.

Welcome Baby


 FS750 - This weeks incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Sandi MacIver, better known around here as SandiMac. Her gallery is full of some incredible inspiration. I found these cute Cards


USEIT2021 - Iron Ons

I had a couple of books of iron Ons that I needed to see if I could use on cards. They are a bit of a challenge to add to card stock because there is no tooth in standard card stock to hold the transfers. This was the best one that I was able to get to stay. I thought it would work great for a baby card when I saw today's Featured Stamper gallery.

I cut the onsie and added a die cut sentiment and added to a coordinating designer paper.

Rainbow Paw Prints

 

JUN21VSNO - Unique Rainbow

I needed some more pet sympathy cards for my donation and this is a perfect challenge to stamp them off in rainbow colors and add a sentiment.

I cranked out 5 of these in under 10 minutes.
