Along the same lines as the previous card as the stencil was still on my desk and I had the made to surprise box set out so I thought why not make two same but different cards, this was a go to when I was stressed with making so I am trying to do that again to alleviate some stress. Now I am aware that card making should be a de stress but sometimes when you have a lot to make and not much mojo its not stress free lol
This card came together so fast it made my head spin, its for a bingo friend and the idea came about after a discussion about tea one evening, I knew she would get the concept and the sentiment and she did immediately. It was nice to revisit an older design that I enjoyed making but that does seem to be a recurring theme at the moment.
I felt similar during lockdown as I do at the moment, everything feels heavy and I hope it passes sooner than the lockdown did.
I bought a magazine because this stamp and die set from Altenew was the free gift. This wasn't the card I set out to make but I was running out of time so I went with a quick and easy option.
I own a lot and I mean a lot of burger stamps but when I saw this freebie digi from Hunkydory I couldn’t wait to colour it and make a card. I used the Tim holtz stencil for the ketchup splats but the first attempt went a bit overboard and looked more like a bloodbath than ketchup lol.
The last of the car cards for the moment, I’m not promising it will be the last ever just the last I have currently made lol.
I had to colour the other Ferrari in the set and it had to be red, I have enjoyed making these cards and there might even be a few more before I’m finished lol
I am sure I made more of these in different colours but this one was in my drafts waiting to be seen. It does make me want to make more.
Another car card and this time it’s a classic car, isn’t it weird that we associate certain cars with certain colours and this is no exception, it had to be powder blue lol.
Another of the car cards and this one had to be a Porsche and it had to be white lol. Not much else to say except there will be more of these as I loved making them and they are a great guy card, not too fussy and with a car lol.
Sometimes you envisage a card in your head and sometimes you make one with stuff leftover on your desk lol. This is the leftover kind but I still really like it lol. The background was from the reading girl cards and the bear was an experiment with a layered set and it worked so it needed to be used, the only thing actually made for this card was the sentiment.
I was trying to add where the bear came from but I can’t find the stamp set so it’s a mystery lol.
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.
This is a different style for me and one that kind of evolved along the way. I wanted to use a word background stamp from photo play that I bought at the infamous scrapbook expo but it looked lost on its own so I thought give it some splatter and this is the result, of course it’s not real splatter but stencilled on but it works.
I was inspired by a card I saw on Instagram (I don’t remember who’s card it was to give credit, apologies to the person), I really liked the simplicity of the design and I had a similar stencil so I thought why not make some similar.
This isn’t the only colour combo I used but I forgot to photograph the other one….
Woohoo the last of this design at least it is when I am typing this post in September last year, who knows I might have revisited it and made a load more lol
I wish I had made the wine a different colour combo but it does look more of a match in real life than on here
Last of the failed backgrounds and I think one of my favourites, these stamps lend themselves so well to the splatter background and now I want to make them in different colours
Almost the last of the failed backgrounds only one more to go, when faced with a blue moon looking background it seems logical to make a blue moon cocktail to go with it. It is making me want to try a blue moon now though lol.
This is one of the failed backgrounds for the gin bottle card from my last post but I do think it worked perfectly with the gin glass from the stamp set. Looking at this card does make me want to make more lol
So this card wasn't as easy as the others as Gin has no real colour so I went with a sort of lime juice splatter, of course this resulted in about four other backgrounds whilst trying to find the correct colour so expect to see those soon.
And so the obsession resumes lol. I made this card at the same time as the beer/bike/wine ones last year but waited until after the persons birthday to show it. The colour of the coffee cup is different to one I would have chosen but I was challenged to make a peach mug whilst on a call with friends. I am amazed that the first time I use this stamp set the company is no longer trading which is a shame as it works so well
