I promised I'll start blogging a little more - keeping that in mind I'd like to tell you that I share all my Create A Smile cards on our Instagram channel and you can also find amazing creation from our tean there.
Anyway, I neglected posting my Crate A Smile cards over here (Boo!), so I collected quite a few that I'd like to share today:
1) some under-the sea-scene :)
First I'd like to share a card that's actually a case from Nina Marie's card
I loves that layout so much that I just had to use it! And I thought so wavy shapes would be perfect for an underwater scene.
Detail:
If you wonder how I created the background: I inked it up, than i dipped my stencil into water and laid it on top - the Distress Inks reacted with the water where the stencil was. Easy and beautiful!
Stamps: Create A Smile - Underwaterlove
Stencil: Create A Smile - Sending Sunshine Kit
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Distress Ink: Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Stormy Sky
Coloring: Copic
2) Next up is a super simple one layer card with a bit of masking.
In the evening I like to sit in the living room with ma hero - maybe we're watching TV or he is gaming - and I like to color :) Sometimes I only stamp a bunch of images to color them, but this time I wanted to create cards - without having to take all my supplies over from my craft room. That was how I came up with a bunch of one layer cards (You'll find more of them in this post)
Stamps: Create A Smile - Coffee First
Cardstock: Simon Says Stamp 120lbs
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Coloring. Copics
3) Card #3 is another simple and probably male card:
I colored the chameleon and wanted it to pop on a card - so I kept it simple.
Detail:
Stamps: Create A Smile - Jungle Fever
Stencil: Create A Smile - In Circles
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark, Distress (Peacock Feathers, Creacked Pistachio, Black Soot)
Coloring: Copics, White Gel Pen
4) Now let's head for a noon-traditional wedding card :)
Again - I wanted to create a one layer card with focus on coloring. And suddenly those piglets jumped right into my eye and screamed "couple" to me. So I took the bow from "Big Time" to add to them and make them male and female. The sentiment is from a soon-to-be-released set and says "ready for take off?"- Thought that was funny.
Stamps: Create A Smile - Eggstraordinary Egghunt, Big Time
Cardstock: Simon Says Stamp 120lbs
Coloring: Copic
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Craft and smash - animals
5) Who does not love crazy monsters?
Did you see Francines video on the Sending sunshine kit hop? I loved her video and I loved the technique - so I had to try it!
Detail:
Stamps: Create A Smile - Monster Party, Bis Time
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Distress Ink (Mustard Seed, Cracked Pistachio, Mowed Lawn)
Coloring: Copics
Washi: Freckled Fawn
Other:: Ranger Glossy Accents
Again: I justplayed around with markers and this is what I came up with. I thought the moustache from coffee first would be fun on that radio.
Stamps: Create A Smile - Perfect Tune, Coffee First
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Washi: Freckled Fawn
I bought some super inexpensive Kraft cards and wanted to use the larger one with some stenciling. I love how Pigment Ink sit on top of the cardstock.
Detail:
Stamps: Create A Smile - Hey Quatschkopf
Die: Create A Smile - Sending Sunshine kit
Ink: Versamark, Memento Luxe (I mixed Bahama Blue and Pear Tarte), Distress Paint (Picket Fence), Distress Ink: Brushed Corduroy
Other:: Ranger Glossy Accents
I just stamped, colored and doodled - nothing fancy about this.
Stamps: Create A Smile - Underwaterlove
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Coloring: Copics
This was a LOT - I really appreciate that you took the time to read the post/ take a look at my creations!
Hope you have a great day!

ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!! My jaw dropped to the floor so many times. So much cuteness!!! I love ALL of these projects. The first is awesome! LOVE the stencil idea and tip! Love coffee, of course! And those adorable critters! Especially the monster! Stole my heart!!! Your last is just SO SWEET! Love your coloring and the CAS style. The little colored stripe across the bottom (which I thought was patterened paper at first) was the perfect little touch to complete the card and bring it together. So many fun projects!!!
