Woodland Friends - We Must Celebrate

Hello Crafty Friends,

Hope you are having a great day. I have a two cards to share today. Both use the We Must Celebrate stamp set - I love these little woodland creature images.

I have used two different colouring mediums - the first card uses the Stampin' Blends and the second Water Colour Pencils.

 

Perfect Days Memories & More cards were used to provide the angled layers behind the coloured stamped panel. I have also used a set of Paper Roses Rectangular Stitched Dies for these cards. These are not a Stampin' Up product.

 

 

This next card uses the smaller images in the stamp set to create a background. I chose the acorn, branch and mushrooms. The images were stamped in Crumb Cake ink and coloured with Water Colour Pencils.

 

 

As you can tell this card was created to wish friends a Happy New Years. These adorable critters would also make gorgeous baby cards and décor pieces for a children's room. I am currently working on another 3D project with these cute images, stay tuned for its reveal. In the meantime, you can check out the box card I made a few weeks ago with this stamp set here.

 

Until next time, stay crafty

 

 

We Must Celebrate - Shadow Box Card

Hello Crafty Friends

Hope your having a great day. I am so excited to share today's post as I have been keeping this information to myself since December. For those who visit my blog regularly,  you would have noticed a new Design Team Member Badge added to my sidebar.

Todays card uses a tutorial by Bronwyn Eastley at AddINKtive Designs.  Every month I will be sharing a creation using one of Bronwyn's fabulous tutorials. Spoilt for choice, I finally decided to use the Shadow Box Card Tutorial. So much wow factor and the card folds flat for posting! Double Bonus. You can purchase this tutorial from Bronwyn, here.

I have created the Shadow Box with Sahara Sand card. I tried adding DSP to the outside but because I added so many elements to the inside, it became very busy so I have left the front and back plain. The inside back and sides have been lined with Pool Party card. Pear Pizzaz and Emerald Envy card were used for the grass tab inserts.

The Woodland Critters - Bear, Racoon, Rabbit and Squirrel are from the new We Must Celebrate stamp set. The sentiment, mushrooms and acorn are also part of this set. The cute birds are from the new Flying Home stamp set. All images were stamped in Black Momento ink, coloured using Stampin' Blends and then fussy cut.

The banner surrounding the sentiment is from the Number of Years set. I have used the Sprinkles of Life bundle to create the tree and the clouds were created using the Lift Me Up Bundle.

I absolutely adore this card style. The base is simple and fast to construct and uses only one sheet of A4 card. While I was decorating my card I had so many idea's for future cards using this impressive and fun fold.

I have already started on two other versions of the Shadow Box Card. I cannot wait to share them. You can view/purchase Bronwyn's amazing tutorials at AddINKtive Designs here. All projects come with detailed, easy to follow instructions and photographs.

Until next time, stay crafty
