Everyday Hero Peek-a-boo Card

I'm so excited to share another card with moving parts. This one is called a Peek-a-boo card and is really easy to make. I followed this tutorial provided by the talented Tanya DeRoy from Ink Responsibily https://youtu.be/DTDb6fZXwdM. 

I have asked Tanya for her permission to post her links to her tutorials, so please acknowledge her as your inspiration when making cards with her guidance. Thank You. These people take a lot of time and effort to make videos, not to mention it's totally daunting to me so a simple acknowledgement is the least we can do for their hard work.

I decided to use the Everyday Hero set as I thought the sentiments and images were perfect for this card. This is the front.....Is this Yours? A Cape on a coat hanger.

 

Oval layering Dies were used to make the frames and the little hearts on the inside are made using the Owl Punch. The card front features the heart strip die from the Love Bundle with smaller hearts die cut from the matching DSP. This was mounted on top of black card stock before adhering to card front with tombow.

 

This is the card mid-way through opening. You can see the panel shifting in front to change out the original image.

 

 

 

I have used Black and Whisper White Cardstock with DSP from the Cupcakes & Carousels Paper Stack.  I used an Aqua Painter and Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Pink Pirouette and Crumb Cake to colour the stamped image.  The sentiments used are from the Everyday Hero set except the congratulations which is from the Bookcase Builder Stamp Set.

Hope my card has inspired you to get crafty and perhaps try one of these amazingly cool cards.

Mothers Day Cards

 I have made several Mother's Day Cards this year, one for my Mumma, one for my Mumma in law and also a few for friends who wanted to send their cherished Ma's a handmade card - go the snail mail!!

This card uses the Oh So Succulent stamps and dies to make the 3D Succulent and the water coloured images. I also used the Happy Mother's Day sentiment from the set and die cut it using the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits. The Wood Grain Background stamp was stamped on Pool Party card stock using Crumb Cake ink before adhering to a Crumb Cake card base.

I took a piece of Whisper White A4 card stock and stamped a whole heap of the different stamps from the Oh So Succulent Stamp Set to make my own DSP. I then cut up the DSP to make four card fronts. On this card I used Sweet Sugar Plum card stock as a base for the card front and to cut the scalloped circle for the sentiment.  Little succulents were adhered with dimensionals to the bottom of the sentiment. 

Little pots on a brick wall! Using the Oh So Succulent bundle again raised on dimensionals with a little pot underneath. I used Pool Party & Sahara Sand card stock and Shimmery White card stock for the water coloured succulents. The Brick Wall Embossing folder was used for the card front.

This one is a little different. The Everyday Hero stamp set was used along with the Happy Hearts & Confetti Embossing Folders. I love the cartoon features of this stamp set and the sentiments are great for both Mum & Dad Super Hero's. 

Hope my cards have inspired you to get into your craft space and make all the Super Mother's in your life a handmade card or gift that's been made with Love.

Everyday Heroes

The 2017 Stampin' Up! Occasions catalogue is full to brim with delightfully amazing choices. The cards I feature today were all made with the Everyday Hero Stamp Set. Its a fantastic set for the amazing super hero Mum or Dad in your world, making cute fathers and mothers day cards. Also great for the little tots in ones life as what teeny tot doesn't love a cape wearing flying super hero!

  

Island Indigo, Pool Party and Whisper White Cardstock were used with Island Indigo and Pool Party Inks.  The front city scene is stamped in Pool Party and then fussy cut. Island Indigo was used to stamp the city behind and then the fussy cut Pool Party was adhered in front with a tombow.

 

These comic strip cards were really simple to create,  and the best thing was I got to use up some smaller scraps of cardstock. I did a male and female version just swapping out the colours and embossing folders. The new Hexagons TIEF is amazingly real with its 3D affect I had to include a little on the males super hero card.

 

And I just had to do a pink version of the first card. I love the WoW stamp and if you are from the States then you can turn it upside down and use it as Mom.  Blushing Bride and Sweet Sugarplum are one of my favie go to girlie combos, so it was no brainer for me to use on this super wow girl card. 

 

I have seen some cards using this set, replacing the head with dogs, cats etc for the super hero pets in our lives.  The funniest one I saw was a super dog with the beams/ray stamp used as laser beams as the dog flies over the city - some people are so creative lol
