...more new cards...

I've been using my card kits and techniques learned in Clean and Simple Card Making 2, and here are some more I came up with.  These mostly use that gradient technique that I am kind of in love with... but I'm also just starting to experiment with embossing, so here you go.

Please leave me a comment if you enjoyed it, or if you have any tips on how to improve these designs.

Card update and card kits

Hiya!  I have been kind of lacking in updating the blog the past week or so, but I have a ton of cards to share with you.  First up, some more cards using the Simon Says Stamp February card kit.  These 2 are similar, but in the second one, I cut the flowers out and popped them up.  Which one do you like better?

On the first one, I stamped the flowers in white ink, colored them in, and then went over the outlines with a white gel pen.  On the second one, I stamped the flowers on white cardstock, very lightly with purple ink, and then went over the lines with a white gel pen.

CAS Card Making, Day 6

It's late, so here's what I got for today:

My friend asked me to make new baby cards for her, so I used today's technique to make one of them.

I also made this Jewish-themed get well card for a relative, using that gradient technique from last week.

See you tomorrow!

Clean and Simple Card Making, Day 3

I was excited to see today's lesson, because it was all about using different stamping techniques.  I'm a beginning stamper, so it was great to learn about some new techniques.

When I went to use my own ideas and supplies for a card, it was a little challenging, as I didn't have the "recommended" supplies for the class.  But I was able to make it work, and this is what I came up with, using a gradient technique:

This was made using hand made stamps I bought from StudioMo on Etsy.  I'd been itching to use them, and so glad I finally found an excuse!  Also, I didn't have embossing powder or materials, so I stamped the "Miss You" lightly with white pigment ink, and then just traced over it with my white Signo pen.

I'm off to try some more of the techniques we learned today!
