Mandala Maker | Congrats | Tillykke | Gina K. Designs

I really like it when the focus of the card is off center. This is something I often go for when creating cards. 

Her I have again used the Mandala Maker stamp set from Gina K. Designs. Such a lovely set! It's primarily intented to be used with the Wreath Builder Tool. But I don't have the Wreath Builder Tool. This card is done by hand using an acrylic block.

This card is a DT project for the Danish craft webshop Hobbyboden.dk

In the circular shape I have hand stamped all the little black dots. There is a dot in the stamp set which had a perfect fit. It's not a 100% perfect but hey, neither am I ;)

I love how crips my stamping gets when using VersaFine Onyx Black. Yummy!

The sentiment is Danish and means Congrats/Congratulations.

I really like how the purple colour gets a chance to shine and get all the attention. 

I have done a similar card which you can see HERE. 

Wishing you a great summer day,

Pia

Dainty Bouquet | Altenew | Layered Stamping | Birthday Card

When I was at Creativation 2019 in Phoenix I first tried out this stamp set from Altenew and immediately fell in love with it. Therfore I have used it to create this card. 

I don't know about you, but this stamp set is just perfekt for floral cards, wedding cards, birthday cards and any type of occasion type of cards.

Today I am sharing a birthday card which I have sent to a crafty kindred spirit which I met for the first time at Creativation 2019. She has turned the big 4-0 and myself having stepped into the 4-0's 1½ year ago could relate to the process. Just sharing some crafty love and kindness to a fellow crafter. 

This stamp set from Altenew is an absolute stunner! Just telling you!

But I do love the colour combination I have chosen for this card. This turned out perfect. And using the MISTI stamping tool makes this a piece of cake!

I do really hope everone - whether in their 40ties or not are having crafty fun in this wonderful community of ours. I feel blessed to be a part of it. 

Hugs, 

Pia

Polychromos Colouring | Concord & 9th Spirograph Turnabout | Happy Birthday

Look at that white ink on the kraft cardstock! It's so bright and clear. I still love my Hero Arts Unicorn White pigment ink and this is one of the reasons. 

To make this card I first stamped the turnabout stamp using the C&9 Jig. Then I let the ink dry up for a while before colouring. 

The sentiment is also just stamped with the Unicorn White pigment ink. I could have used white heat embossing, but why when the white ink is so opaque. 

To colour in the spirograph I have used these Polychromos colours:

101 + 119 + 134

To finish off the card I added a few white enamel drops. This is a clean and simple card just like I love them. Yes, the colouring takes some time but it is a relaxing process for me. Basically I say it is a win-win situation :)

Hugs, 

Pia
