Addicted To Stamps And More #425 - Die Cuts & Stencils...

 Hi! I am here today with some inspiration for the Addicted To Stamps And More blog. The theme this time is:

I made a quick and simple card today using a large sentiment die from CrafTangles that I bought recently. 

I started with a white card base and stamped the border from the Fanfare stamp set by Avery Elle in the rainbow order. A background like this is easy yo create with a stamp positioner. I die cut the sentiment from the stamped panel. And the shadow from black cardstock. I glued the black shadow behind the sentiment. And that's it! Like a said, this is a quick and simple card.

I hope you liked my card and will create something beautiful for this challenge. You can link your creations to the ATSM gallery. Please don't forget to visit the other DT who have some incredible inspiration for you. I look forward to visiting you in our gallery.

Love,

Nandini

Addicted To Stamps And More #342...

Hi! I am here today with some new inspiration for the current Addicted To Stamps And More challenge. The theme this week is

I decided to use my Artists Markers by Altenew to create a cute card.

I started with a piece of white cardstock and used one of the border stamps from Lawn Fawn's Simply Celebrate stamp set to create a background. Colouring was quick as I just used a bunch of alcohol markers. I trimmed the panel with a stitched rectangle die and popped it up on a black card base with foam tape. 

The sentiment is from the Celebrate stamp set by Avery Elle. I stamped it on a piece of white paper with black ink and cut the panel with the stitched circle die. I cut a larger circle from some translucent blue paper and adhered it to the card. The sentiment circle was popped up on foam tape.

To finish, I took a scrap piece of pink paper and heat embossed it with a couple of layers of holographic embossing powder. I die-cut a few stars out of paper and adhered them around the sentiment. Here is a closer look at the sentiment.

Here is another look at the completed card.

Hope you liked my cards and are inspired to create something beautiful. You can check out more inspiration at the Addicted To Stamps And More challenge blog and also link your creations.

Love,
Nandini
