Twist n pop - under the sea

Good Morning everyone

Today im sharing my 2nd twist and pop card that I made for my sister in laws birthday.  I went with a seaside/ocean theme this time, teaming stamps up with a lovely Kaisercraft paper pad.  I was lucky enough last year to win a challenge and a voucher for Visible Image stamps so i bought the fab 'dare to swim' set.

Card size 6x5"  The front of the card, just using a paper and elements from the paper pad matted onto navy cardstock

And here it opens up.  I cut panels from the paper pad to fit the pop up sections and the top & bottom of the card and then i stamped onto them using the little fish in blue and bubbles with silver paint, inked the edges and attached to the card.  To the top and bottom i added paper ribbons that came in the paper pad and then a die cut white circle to the bottom for the greeting.

I then stamped the jellyfish and sea weed from the set, along with some shells, starfish & small seahorse using other stamps from my stash, i then coloured them all in and cut them out and got arranging.

I added touches of glitter glue to the little circles on the jellyfish

The little seahorse is hiding among the seaweed

Just showing how it all folds up - very clever.  I used instructions from here which were easy to follow and fit an A4 sheet. 

and a little 5x5" card made with all the left overs with a lovely paper from the kaisercraft paper pad

You Light up my Life

Good Morning everyone, today im sharing a little fun valentine card.  

Mostly inspired by the fun lightbulb stamp, as i very rarely do anything Valentine/Love themed - he will be surprised!.   It came free with the most recent issue of craft stamper. I also tried to keep it fairly CAS - sat on my hands😄.

6x6 white linen cardbase.  I first computer printed my sentiment onto the base.  I then stamped the lightbulb direct onto the cardfront using a multicoloured ink pad in shades of orange/red.  I then die cut a stitched square from white linen card, in the top left corner i die cut a stitched oval.  I mounted the square onto the front with foam tape, i glued the oval back in flat to the base so its inverted.  

I then stamped the bulb onto white linen with black ink & die cut into a smaller oval and i pushed this into the ink back to colour the background with the same ink as my stamped background. I stamped the light again in black and cut it out, gently shaped it and added over the top with glue gel.  I then mounted this panel into the oval with foam tape.  I added yellow marker to the hearts and covered in glossy accents.

Yellow glitter gems to finish.

A close up, you can see the reflection of the glaze i put on the bulb.

Craft stamper magazine lightbulb stamp

Kaleidacolor inkpad - Desert Heat

Black archival ink

Yellow promaker pen
