Celebrate Your Special Day

Hello everyone, Maria here, for today’s card I’m bringing you a card using 2 sets of Colourific Stamps. I used the Celebrate Wordage stamp set and the A5 Champagne and Cocktails Stamp Set to make  this Special Day Card, but you can be more specific and make it an Anniversary/Wedding/Engagement/Birthday Card.

Here’s what you will need:

Celebrate Wordage Stamp Set
A5 Champagne and Cocktail Stamp Set
8x8 White Card blank
White Stamping card
Black card for mounting
Watercolour paints
Versafine
Distressed Oxides, peeled paint
Gold and silver Gel pens
Clear glitter glue
Double sided tape
3D Foam Pads

Here’s hope I made it.

1. Using the black Versafine ink pad, stamp the Celebrate, Champagne bottle and two champagne flutes onto a piece of white stamping card.
2. Colour in the bottle and the glasses using watercolour paints and fussy cut out.
3. Colour in the word Celebrate using the silver and gold gel pens then cut this out leaving a 4cm border around the outside.
4. To make the background, stamp the Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Stamp Pad onto a as blending mat and spritz with water.  Swish and swirl a piece of 7”x7” White Stamping Card through the ink. Dry with a heat gun and repeat the process until you reach the desired effect.
5. Adhere the Celebrate, Champagne bottle and glasses onto the background using 3D Foam Pads.
6. Using the ‘your Special Day’ Stamp, Ben’s and shape it on your stamping block to make the words wave, and using the black Versafine ink, stamp onto the background card.
7. Mount onto the black card and onto the card blank.
8. Finally, add some sparkle by adding spots of glitter glue to the area just after the bottle top to make it look like you’ve just opened the cork and the fizz is coming out of the bottle, to the Champagne Glasses and the stars around the word Celebrate.

I hope you enjoy making the card, why not try the different colour backgrounds or use your alcohol pens to colour. The main rule is, just play and have fun.

Book marks - Marleen DT

Hi everyone
and welcome

My house is full of book worms. I have always been an avid reader myself but now I have 3 children who are all book worms too. Its currently summer holliday here in Ireland and should you by any chance take a walk through our house, you will find at least 2 people reading at any time of the day lol.. Anyway.. Many books on the go, means many book marks are needed. I always try to have a few extra lying but had run out so for todays post I decided to make a few.

So for todays project for  Colourific
I pulled out some tags and my stamps and got started..

For the boy tags I used:
A6 - grunge background
A6 - Alphabet & Numbers

And for the girls tags I used:
A6 - Moderne Flowers
A5 - Peonies
Find them in the STORE along with all the other amazing stamps.

All the tags were made the same way.
I used tags I cut from canvas paper. (After they were finished and totally dry I layered them up on another tag cut from card stock to make them more sturdy) I used Distress Stains as my colouring and used a water brush to move the colour to where I wanted it.

I stamped using a variety of Archival inks as they are water proof and stayed in place as I moved the colour around.

The "read" on the boys tags, I stamped each letter onto a scrap piece of card stock and glued onto the tag individually.

Normally I would finish adding a piece of ribbon to the top of the tag, but my kids has asked me not too as they find it distort the books as they pile them up.. Their wish is my command eh lol

And that is it from me for today.

Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.
