What screams Birthday more than that confetti look! Nicole here and I am sharing this fun stamping technique with a variety of Stampers Anonymous Stamp Sets and Rangers new Alcohol Lift- Ink.

July 1, 2018 No Comments

Nicole Wright here today celebrating Canada’s 151st birthday! I love Canada even more since today is also my husband’s birthday. I always make sure he has a “CANADA DAY” theme card. This year his card is extra special. The paper used for the Maple Leaf and side red banners are 116 year old paper from his grandfather’s old book. It’s ok, I have permission. I will be filming the HOW TO for this card with Creative Scrapbooker Magazine in a few days… while I am on vacation. For now, check out this inspiration and get ready for this quick video. 1. I cut the Sizzix die cut Layered Leaf with the book page paper to create a Maple Leaf. The side banners are cut with the same book page. Each book page is inked with Ranger’s Distress Spray Ink Candied Apple. To get that intensity I sprayed 2 times, drying…

Hello Friday, so glad to see you again! Hey everyone, Kim Gowdy here with a quick card share for you. I don’t know about you, but April and May have my calendar FULL of birthdays and anniversaries!

DONE like dinner! [Maybe dinner didn’t get made because I was making cards…just sayin!]I made this first card simply by layering paper and…

Birthday Fishes Card with Kerry Engel

November 3, 2016 No Comments

Birthday Fishes Card by Kerry Engel A colleague at work was having a special birthday so I decided to make an extra large card that would accommodate numerous greeting from staff (it measured 6×12). I’ve been using my Ranger distress inks to make watercolor backgrounds for my hand lettering and thought it would make a great background for the fish stamps from Heartfelt Creations.
