It’s been a long time since last time I posted a project on here. I still struggle with crafting a bit but seems like my hands are slowly getting better. Last week I’ve noticed that I can manage to hold a pen, which I wasn’t able to do since February – I nearly cried with happiness.
Today I wanted to share with you cards I’ve made recently for few of my friends from all over the world. Friends who supported me and cheered me up when I was really poorly and in hospital. I have to say I’m truly blessed and grateful to have such an amazing people in my life. These cards have been delivered already so no faux pas here xx
I just love my today’s project. It’s clean and simple…and beautiful! There was a time (not that long ago) when I was wondering what the heck CAS card means…haha…and it means exactly that: clean and simple. Some people also use term KISS (keep it simple stamper!). No wonder I haven’t got an idea: I’ve got a tendency to “overthink” and “overload” my cards. But I quite like the idea of clean and simple layout. It’s just don’t come naturally for me.
So today I gave myself a challenge to create a CAS card. I decided to keep the card white with little splash of colour.
The base of the card is standard A6 and top panel is 1/4″ smaller. For my layout I used Work Of Art stamp set. I love this set for it’s simplycity: shapes, swatches, swooshes (or however you call them) that looks like painted with a brush – fab!
I overlapped two “swooshes”: one in Pool Party and other in Pistachio Pudding. I like how these colours complement each other. Now I needed some simple embellishment for my card. Buttons seemed too heavy. I needed something light, something like… a feather!
I took Four Feathers stamp set and choose smaller one with speckles. I took a piece of vellum, stamped the image in white craft ink and heat embossed it in clear. Then die-cut it with matching framelits and add it to the card with mini glue dots. Both, stamp set and dies, you can buy separately or save 15% and buy them in a bundle.
Sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and is stamped in Basic Grey. And that’s it. Card is done!

I wanted to wish Happy Mother’s Day to my all UK and Irish followers! Today I’ve been treated with coffee and breakfast to bed ^_^ Feel so pampered 🙂 hmmm…makes me think that Mother’s Day should be every day! 😀 And today I’ve got one more project using Mum’s Love stamp set.
To make this card I’ve used same card stock as yesterday: Strawberry Slush and Whisper White. And you probably wondering what about the brown?
Well, I simply coloured WW with Chocolate Chip ink pad 🙂 Just cut strip of paper, press it into your ink pad and then let it dry. I used this colour to stamp sentiments and flowers too. These little flowers on the front are punched using flower punch from Itty Bitty Accents punch pack. Each one has a tiny rhinestone in the center.
For the front panel I cut a piece of Window Sheet and embossed it with Filigree Frame embossing folder (it was available in autumn/winter catty).
I loooove dry emboss window sheets 🙂 It’s looks gorgeous and adds extra dimension to the card.
I love this stamp set and really think it’s a “must have”. I owe the one in photopolymer but you can choose clear or wood mount too.
Thank you for stopping by and have an amazing day everyone!
Hello everyone. Today a quick share from me. A very special birthday card I’ve made few weeks ago for my dear friend and soul-sister from Australia. And because I know how she loves to travel I came out with this idea:
Pretty cool hey?! I really like how this card turned out. I’ve used gorgeous Island Indigo and window sheet for the card base. Window sheet is dry embossed with Delicate Designs TIEF.
Then I’ve made my own DSP using Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point and Night of Navy Stampin Markers, clear block, water and watercolour paper. Just scribble the markers on the clear block, spritz with water and “stamp” ot the paper. repeat until you’re happy with colour intensity. Takes time but it’s well worth the effort. When the background was ready (dry and ironed 😉 ) there was the time for some random stamping. And for that I’ve used Gorgeous Grunge, Traveler and En Francais stamp sets.
For the inside of the card I’ve used a piece of Whisper White. Beautiful chevron stamp and sentiment from Work of Art, same as the ship from Traveler set, seemed just perfect. The colours are as follows: Night of Navy, Pool Party, Soft Sky and Memento Black.
Cute anchor charm, piece of silver ribbon and some rhinestones complete the card.
I’m so happy with the card and the fact that my sweet friend loved it 🙂 And what do you think? Do you like it? Please message me or comment below. Would love to hear from you.
