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

Good Luck on Your Exam | Watermark Background | Gittes Eget Design

Good luck on your exam or as we might say in Denmark Pøj Pøj med Eksamen. 

This card was created for as a design team projekt for the Danish webshop Hobbyboden.dk

This was part of a design team challenge with the theme to stretch your text stamps. This was my second go at this DT challenge.

I used my MISTI stamping tool to make the repeat stamping on the grey cardfront. For the stamping I used Watermark ink, which creates a darker shade of the original cardstock colour. How cool is that!

I made sure for each row of stamping that I shifted the position of the stamping a bit, so each row is a bit off. 

The sentiment I stamped with the same stamp again and added the extra text. This made the complete sentiment to be "Good luck on your exam". And in Danish "Pøj pøj med eksamen".

The cardfront is mounted with 3D squares and the sentiment is also mounted with 3D. This gives a little extra dimension. But I only use 2mm 3D squares so the card doesn't end up too thick. 

Last and final touch was a few bright yellow enamel dots which is a fab contrast to the grey. 

Crafty hugs,

Pia'

Mandala Maker | Gina K. Designs | Clean and Simple Card

Build your own mandala pattern, how cool is that!

The Mandala Maker stamp set from Gina K. Designs is so gorgeous and gives loads of possibilities to creation of many patterns. 

Here I am sharing a very simple card, where I have hand stamped the mandala pattern using an acrylic block. I have the round acrylic block from Catherine Pooler and simply love it. It has a groove on the side which makes is easy to hold. 

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

I have on purpose choosen to only use only colour. This way the little touch of colour gets a whole lot of attention. 

That's all for today. Hope you all are enjoying the summer. 

Pia
