Big Hugs Slimline Card Using A Colorful Life Designs

 Hello everyone.  I have a Slimline card today using A Colorful Life Designs Bauhaus Curved Lines 6x9 Stencil from A colorful Life Designs Newest Release. Use VonFan10 to save on your orders.

Let's Get Started:

I love Slimline cards and like that they fit in letter size envelopes. I really liked the pattern of this stencil I think it kinda looks like half rainbows. I chose to ink the Bauhaus Curved Lines Stencil with Catherine Pooler Hot Tub ink on white cardstock 110 pounds. I love this color of ink it reminds me of Sage which I love.  I then cut this background out with a Slimline die from Trinity Stamps called Dainty Scallop Edge Slimline Die.

I have these silver glittery Letter Thickers in my stash so I thought I would use them for this card. Sometimes Hugs are needed it makes your recipient feel good. Can be use for Sympathy cards too. I then added some Metallic Silver Card Bling also from A Colorful Life Designs. My background was glued to a 3 1/3 x 8 white side folding card base.  I hope you check out the New Release. Tomorrow we will have our monthly Mid Month inspiration stencil that will be on sale for a round $4 and you can use my code VonFan10 on that too to make it even cheaper.  

I had so much fun making this card!

I chose to use the New Bake Me A Cake 6x6 Stencil. I love this stencil as it also has a sentiment.  This cake looked Mermaid to me and it is Mermay right? On white cardstock I used Catherine Pooler Queen For A Day, All That Jazz, and Lemon Grass minis inks. I then cut my background to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  

I wanted to do something different so I found some vellum kind of ripped and placed it over my sentiment and stapled it with my Tim Holtz tiny attacher.  I placed some fun foam in the back of my panel and glued it to a matching A2 card base.  I added some Opaque Iridescent card bling from A Colorful Life Designs to match, I love this card bling it looks purple in the light too.  And that finishes my card. I had so much fun making this card and I have more to share all month long.  Follow me here on my blog.

Well for this weeks challenge, I was inspired by the trees, green snowflake, and sentiment sign in the photo. I love all the colors and I tried to capture a few.  I used The Stamp Market Winter's Wispy Trees and Concord & 9th in Honeysuckle, Sprout, and Oceanside. I stamped some trees and cut them out using a circle die from Pinkfresh Studio. 

I used A Colorful Life Designs (use VonFan10 to save) Dotted Flakes 6x6 Stencil and ink blended on white cardstock for my background with Sprout ink. I really loved that bright snowflake in the inspiration photo.  I stamped my sentiment from Papertrey ink Just Sentiments: Snow stamp set.  I heat embossed with Versamark and Hero Arts clear embossing folder on a aqua colored cardstock.  I cut it out as well as my background that is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I glued everything to a A2 card base and added some Metallic Gold card bling also from a Colorful Life Designs.  I had so much fun with this card.

Merry Everything & Happy All The Days

  Hello everyone.  I have a card today for A Colorful life Designs.  No New Release for December but I will be  sharing existing beautiful stencils available at A Colorful Life Designs. Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase. 

Without further ado here is my card.

Today on my card, I used Scrollwork 6x9 Stencil.  Isn't it pretty? I chose to lay this stencil on white cardstock and use Hero Arts Ombre ink in Mint to Green using a blending brush.  I only inked diagonally on top and the bottom so that I could put my sentiment in a white space. After, I cut my background out with a stitched A2 rectangle die from LDRS.

The stamp and coordinating die sentiment is retired from Simon Says Stamp called Happy Everything.  I stamped the stamp with black ink and then used the coordinating die to cut it out.  I did pop it up with foam tape and then adhered to my card panel.  I then added some card bling in Satin Black Matte to match.  I glued everything to a gray A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I like how this card came out.  I will have another card to share later on using this same stencil. Check out A Colorful Life Designs.  I will be back soon with another blog post.  Check out my YouTube here for more inspiration.
