Happy birthday, Caitie!

My 2nd eldest niece, Caitie, had her 18th birthday this week - happy birthday, Caitie!

I made this card for her using a background stamp from Altenew, white embossed onto watercolour paper and coloured with nuance powders and perfect pearls. The heart die is from Hero Arts, and the sentiment is from Julie Hickey Designs.

Twelve cards using stamping foam

Last week, I invited my friend Melissa over for a crafty afternoon. I first met Melissa at choir in 2017, but we only really got to know each other when our choir started zoom rehearsals in 2020. Melissa has been a crafter for years, but she got into cardmaking just over a year ago, and she has jumped in head first! 

I recently bought the Simon Hurley Stamping Foam, so Melissa and I had heaps of fun using background stamps and embossing folders to create texture, and then stamped the texture using Hero Arts reactive inks onto watercolour paper. We ended our day with a handful of backgrounds ready to be made into cards, so we planned to make a bunch of cards and share them on the same day on Instagram. You can find Melissa's post HERE and mine HERE! (I can't wait to see Melissa's cards!)

Craft Roulette 145

Yesterday's Craft Roulette (episode 145) had these parameters: 

Project: Diagonal Cut (my clouds are diagonal)

Colors: White Background

Element: Light(s) (a rainbow is what happens to light when it hits raindrops - I do have some Chibitronics lights, but I don't have any batteries right now!)

Random: Off to the side

How one card idea turned into 20 different cards

 Back in October, I made this card:

To make this card, I stamped and cut onto 19 different pieces of coloured cardstock. This meant that I had a lot of leftover coloured strips of cardstock. I had lots of strips left over, so I got busy!
