Too Cute 🐝

 Hi, 

It’s time for a new challenge over at the Polkadoodles challenge blog. This week I chose to color the Too Cute Bee digi stamp in a lovely pastel cloudy sky, and I think he just turned out super cute. 

For my card I used an edge die from an old La-La-Land craft club kit to give one of the card side a shaped edge down. I glued down a strip of paper on the inside of my card to make the edge pop out more. 

Copic colors I used:

Sky: 

Y000-00-11,

YR000-00, 

RV42

R000

V000-01

BV000-00 

BG000-11

Bee:

Y11-13-17

W5-7-9

R24

I had written down some of the colors for the sky previously. Unfortunately I just can’t find back to the video I watched that time to give credit to the one who came up with it. Anyway when coloring something like this you would look for the lightest or very light colors in the desired color family then add in a lower number light mid tone to get som depth and definition. 

I hope you liked my card and that you got inspired to create yourself a happy day crafting too.

The pattern papers are from the Gnome for men Music Record printable pattern papers. If you are looking for something to use for a masculine card, you should check out the Gnome for men collection.

Theatre inspired confirmation card

 Hi everyone,

Today I`m sharing a confirmation card I made for a son of some friends confirmation last weekend. I`m so happy with how this card turned out.

I made the card into a double gate fold card, getting the inspiration from the theatre curtains opening up to begin the show. This young man loves the theatre and is also a talented actor at the local youth theatre, so that`s where I got the inspiration for the theme of the card.  

For the card front, I used an old paper from KaisercraftsOn Stage collection. The striped blue paper is a digital pattern paper from Polkadoodle Gnome music bundle. The pattern paper with blue stars is from Papirdesign. The edge star die from Tim Holtz are cut out in black glitter paper and I used the same die and just cut the stars into smaller pieces to decorate inside my card making sure to place them as to help guide the eyes across the card.

This sentiment is from Papirdesign and it says: "Some people make the world special just by being in it".

The pictures are printed to the desired size at home and the main one is placed in an Insta frame that I stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The sentiment says: "You are amazing".

On the backside of the card, there is a nice space to write a personal note.

I love how this card turned out, and thank you for letting me post this card here on my blog with pictures in it. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Hugs,

-Christine💮
