It’s only February and we are on big birthday number 4, I wasn’t joking when I said it was going to be a busy big birthday year, I wonder how many I will have made at the end of the year. I’ve not counted as I find that makes me anxious and stops me just making them, I get stuck like a deer in the headlights lol.
Another eclipse but they are just so effective, I did remember to put glossy accents on the numbers this time as it makes them pop more
I made an almost identical card in the summer and as the person this card is for has a bulldog I wanted to recreate it, of course I couldn’t find the stamp set and it’s taken me three days and numerous times to find it. Of course it was worth it but it has made me realise my current stamp storage system is broken.
I am still using the backgrounds I created from Kendra Card Challenge 10, this is probably my favourite of the sketches and one I want to recreate using lots of other papers.
The stamps and dies from The Ton make these designs so easy to assemble, just pick the image, colour and add and it's done, definitely the way to go.
Another big birthday and another eclipse, so far I haven’t made any shaped cards but they are coming soon lol.
I went with an image I’ve used previously for the eclipse style as I knew it would work well.
Is there any other colour you can get a Ferrari in, I don’t think so….of course I could be wrong but I do think red is iconic.
Now I don’t think the person I made this for will ever have a Ferrari except in card or model form but that shouldn’t stop you dreaming lol.
Another tried and tested design and I used every stamp in this set and made a whole set of cards that I will show after the birthdays.
I tried to use one of the other designs in this stamp set and although I like it I think it’s too small for the design, of course it’s too late now but I will address that when I make the next one
The second colour scheme and now I see this I want to make more, they are very elegant and as I have new people to make more a great easy but lovely design to mass produce.
This is going to be a recurring theme this year, I am going to be revisiting past designs and recreating because even though I’m enjoying making cards I’m struggling with original new designs so sometimes you need to go and make something you know works and this is it, of course I made a few in different colours so expect to see them soon.
This time I went with a tried and true design and even though I’ve been making this style since 2020 I still really like it.
The only change to the original is the scalloped mat layer, I attended a virtual crop and create in 2022 and this was part of the lawn fawn set and I can’t seem to put it down lol.
