Trick or Treat – Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember

Hello folks, Happy Monday!!
I was lucky enough to receive a free stamp set from Simon Says Stamp as part of their ‘STAMPtember‘ festivities. I’ve got ‘Trick or Treat‘ stamp set and this is one of SSS’s famous set! I am not a big fan of Halloween but, Kristina Werner’s catcula (cat + dracula) is SO so so adorable!!! Yay!

Here is what I came up with:
20140908-01To create my card, I cut on the white panel using two different circle dies and stamped ‘trick or treat’ bubble and little bats in Memento Tuxedo Black. Besides it, I stamped cat another white cardstock in black for copic colouring. I used copic markers for cat and all other elements – spider and bats – were stamped in black.

This is catcular’s spooky house. He is looking out through the window and says “Trick or Treat” lol!!

Celebrate – OCC SYS2 Day 7

Oh My…
I have no idea why I don’t have graphic stamps…Hmm…But, I could do my homework of SYS Day 7. Seriously, I need Avery Elle Rounded Diamonds Stamp Set so much! Anyway… I tried to make Simple and Graphic card yesterday.

Here is what I came up with:
20140814-03I used a mini triangle shape by Mama Elephant Trifecta Stamp Set and lots of Simon Says Stamp dye inks! For sentiment, I used Papertrey ink Wet Paint III Stamp Set.

Personally, simple and graphic card isn’t easy to me and I need more practice! Hmm… it seems like geometric card isn’t it? :D

OCC SYS 2 DAY 1 – HELLO

Hello folks,
I’m so glad that I participated in Stretch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes. There are full of inspirations!! I strongly recommend it.

SYS2_participant
Especially I was in awe of Shari Caroll’s hello card. It was so amazing and I was inspired by her.

Here is what I came up with:
20140807-01Unfortunately I didn’t have the featured background stamps but it was totally OK! I used beautiful Hero Arts Everything Flowers Stamp instead of them :D

I applied on the background stamp using Evergreen Bough, Rusty Hinge, Bundled Sage, and Victorian Velvet Distress inks and then spritzed the inked stamp with water using a mini mister. I then stamped the background image on a watercolour paper panel (smooth side). After the stamped panel was completely dried, I spritzed Tsukineko Shimmer Spritz Sparkle a little bit and cut the stamped panel and applied Rusty Hinge ink around the edges of each stamped square. I affixed the squares to a white cardstock panel using foam dots for dimension. I die cutted two “hello” pieces with black paper and adhered the pieces together using a glue pen. Lastly I decorated the vellum die cut butterflies for finishing touch!

20140807-02Phew~~ I finished one of my homework of Day 1. By the way, I love Wplus9 Hand Lettered Hello Die!!

Here is what I came up with:
20140718-ric64-01
For this card, I chose 3 awesome stamp sets. First was Simon Says Stamp Best Mom Ever for roses, second was Paper Smooches Botanicals 2 and the last was Simply Fabulous Sayings MFT Stamps for sentiment. They are all really AWESOME STAMP SETS!

20140718-ric64-02I made light grey panel with Distress Ink Weathered Wood at first. I then stamped roses and leaves using VersaFine Pigment ink Onyx Black. Next step was… watercolouring! Yay!! :D I used several Distress inks for watercolouring as usual but, used white roses using acrylic paint for standing out in bold relief. I spritzed Tsukineko Shimmer Spritz Frost on the floral surface for finishing touch.

You are my STAR!

Hello folks,
Today, I want to show you my two different version with one stamp card :D

Let me show you the first card here:
20140711-01I chose absolutely gorgeous Hero Arts Constellation Background stamp for this card. It is really beautiful!!

I heat embossed on the white cardstock using Ranger Embossing Powder Seaform White at first and then sponged onto it using several colour Distress inks. I then spritzed fresh water onto the background paper for making watercolour look. For sentiment, I used On Target Stamp by Mama Elephant and added some gold shape sequins as an embellishment. OH! finally I stamped Korean letters in black between constellation. I have Korean letter – Korean is my first language –  stamp sets and they are so adorable! Combining the letters in this card means ‘I LOVE YOU’ :D

Here is a detailed view:

And…. one more card here:
20140711-03It is kind of a masculine card although there is a glitter butterfly :D

I heat embossed on the white paper in gold and silver. For sentiment I chose Simply Fabulous Sayings MFT Stamps and then heat embossed on the vellum paper in black. I added a glitter butterfly and several enamel dots for finishing touch.
