DT Seguras Crafts: Mother’s Day Card

  

Dear scrappers,

Here is my next design for the company: Seguras Crafts.

I wanted to make a special card for my mom. So I started by choosing a nice sketch:

And work my way from there, then I went to choose a colors palette:

I really enjoy color palette challenges because they push me to think outside the box. And I knew these colors are nicely represented by the Cloud of Hope from Seguras Crafts printed papers (coming soon, stay posted) and who doesn’t love Star Wars. I choose the page with the most colors in this palette and which would go with my mom’s personality. She is very active and has a very strong personality, so very well represented by the contrast of the blue-peach pink in the papers I chose. My mom actually loves purple and mauve, but I think this contrast is more her: 

I used the rectangle die from made-to-surprise interactive die set available at Seguras Crafts to die cut the printed paper layer. For the little dove tail I used a die from a Tonics set.

I used the Mothers love 6x8 stamp set for the cute little girl and mom image and the “I’ll always be your baby” sentiment for the tag. After I glued everything, I chose the embellishments to go with the color scheme and added rhinestones in Ocean Bliss to make the card more cheerful. I even added more rhinestones to the Prima rhinestone stickers to tie everything together.

For the inside, I chose the “Happy Mothers Day” sentiment from Seguras Crafts and stamped it on Petal Whisper Pink pearlescent cardstock. I later used a rectangular die to give it some texture and glued to the card base:

I made a little video of my process:

DT Seguras Crafts: Believe Easter Card

 

Dear scrappers,

Here is my next design for the company: Seguras Crafts.

This time I decided to make an easter’s card for someone very special for my family. I loved how the  “Believe In Yourself” stamp is versatile that I can even use it for a religious card. I just focused on the “Believe” part. I rummaged through my craft stash and found this old but unused stepper card die from Tattered Lace. Just perfect. I also used some ready made cards and tricked it into fitting the die.

I used the Cloud of Hope from Seguras Crafts (coming soon, stay posted) was just what I needed for the background. Focusing on the sentiment it helps to imaging that beliefs are cosmic in nature and this paper brings so much hope in life, nature, and our own religious believes. 

I was so surprised that inside the tattered lace die set, the Easter Lilies die was included and remembered that I had the perfect cross (CMTH) available in my never ending crafting stash. 

I also used Seguras high quality cardstocks (I’m still working on the affiliated links, until then, I will just add direct links to the products that I use) for diecutting the cross and stamping the sentiment. I used Anthracyte and Crystal vision purple. I really love the nice pearlescent shimmer of this cardstocks. You can see it best on the cross: 

I really enjoyed this project and hope it does bring some happiness and love to our dear friends starting a new beginning in a new city, but close to their family. We really miss them and wanted to express it in our card:

For this post I wanted to try to make a little video of my process. I am terrible at expressing with words my feelings but hopefully my work speaks for my feelings. Here we go:

DT WW: Robin Redbreast- Happy Holidays Card

 

 Dear Scrappers,

This is my October post for Winter Wonderland Challenge Blog:

This month's sponsor is:

Their Epsy shop: SheepSkiDesigns

I chose the christmas-post-box-image for displaying the Redbreast Robin. Such a cute image.

This is a rather large image, so I decided to look for an sketch to make the most out of it and found this interesting sketch:

Sketch # 241

From sweet sketches challenge blog, see bellow for more info.

I used the matting die to cut the image and then used different distress inks and some HeroArts inks to color it. Then I traced the edges of the die cut unto a larger piece of printed blue cardstock to use as a mat. I fussy cut the blue mat and use the negative corners as part of the sketch embellishment.

I used foam squares to mount the die cut and some bakers twine to complete the look with this month's SCT Sampler sentiment die cut instead of the ribbon.

DT: Get Well Kit

  

Hi,

This is my next post for Craftwell. 

For this post, I played with the Get Well Kit from Queen and Co. and created a get well soon card and a clip for my door sign:

This is such a fun kit to use. I really like the other shaker kits as well.

Here is the front side of the card with the matching envelop, I created with a left over strip of paper:

For the inside of the card:

I used the included clear stamps for the sentiments and used CTMH black and cherry inks. I drew the outline of the bandage using the metal die as an stencil and glitter pen.

The card base and envelop come from this kit from CTMH:

Here is a closeup of the shaker die cut bandage:

For the door sign clip, I used the same Get Well Kit and just outlined the backing paper using the transparency insert included in the shaker kit. Later I glued the shaker bandage die cut to a Dollar Tree chalk board sign clip:

Here is the inside of the shaker bandage die cut, before adding the transparency and frame:

Here is the clip on my door sign:

I really like to use card kits because it saves a lot of time trying to put together everything you need. I hope you enjoy it and please visit Craftwell as well.

Happy September
