Beautiful Day…

Happy Day Evelin T Designs friends. Annette Allen here with you on this fine Monday. I had been looking outside and loving all the flowers that are blooming so it made me think of this Evelin T Designs: Floral Surprise stamp set, it was time to ink it up again. I also paired it up with the Evergreen Foliage stamp set. I love to mix and match all the Evelin T Designs stamp set.

I was going for a simple yet colorful card so I just stamped directly onto my card base.

The images are colored with Copic sketch markers. When I started this card I had no idea what color theme I was going with so I just grabbed a few of my favorites and started coloring. The more color the better, if you ask me.

I finished up with stamped this sentiment from the Evergreen Foliage stamp set. This will be short today as you can see this card it simple yet for sure to bring a smile to that someone special that needs a smile.

Merfriends…

Happy hello Evelin T Designs friends. Annette Allen here with you today and I am sharing a fun folding card using Evelin T Designs: Under The Sea: Merfriends stamp set. I love creating scenes and this stamp set is perfect for that cute underwater scene type card.

I created three different layers with all these cute images and I colored them with Copic sketch markers. Then, I used some foam tape to pop some of the images and for the others I used strips of clear acetate to give the effect of swimming fish.

Since I love using patterned paper, I chose some happy colors that would enhance my scene a bit more. This was totally simple to create and I might add totally fun.

Thanks for stopping by.

The Little Things…

Happy August 10th everyone. Annette Allen here with you today and I am sharing a card that I created using Evelin T Designs: Life Is Beautiful stamp set. This set is full of pretty images and well every time I use it I want to use all of them but today I narrowed it down to two.

I created this background using alcohol inks and a Hero Arts background die. I colored these sweet images using Copic sketch makers and did a little fussy cutting. Then, I used foam adhesives to give a little dimension to my card. Finishing up with this fun sentiment that I heat embossed on some kraft card-stock. Notice I cut my strip at an angle, just something a little different.

This card was totally simple to create. Just a bit of coloring and piecing it together. I love simple cards, don’t you?

This Evelin T Designs: Life Is Beautiful stamp set is so fun color and create with. A must have if you ask me. Now it is time to shop. Check out all the fun stamps that Evelin T Designs has to offer HERE.

Thank you for joining me today.

Have an awesome day!

Best Times…

Happy July Evelin T Designs friends. Annette Allen here with you today and I am sharing a card that I created using the new Best Friends Fur-ever! stamp set.

This stamp set is so fun to color and create Happy cards.

I colored the images using Copic sketch markers and did a little fussy cutting so I can give the images some dimension. The background was created using some scraps that I had. I picked colors that I colored my images with so it all blended together. Sometimes I go a little wild, but I kept it all blending today.

Two Simple Cards…

Well happy hello Evelin T. Designs friends…. Annette Allen here with you today and I am sharing two cards created using Evergreen Foliage and Alpha Blocks.

This first card was created using Evergreen Foliage. I created a simple watercolor background and stamped these pretty images and sentiment on the background after it dried completely. I added a bit of white opaque to the little leaves. I wanted them to really shine on the card. 

Next up I created a card using Alpha Blocks. I love this fun set because you can create any greeting, sentiment that you want. I first used a misc. stencil and Ranger Oxide inks to create a colorful background. I added some NUVO Blue Topaz Glimmer Paste on top of the stenciled background. 

I stamped all the letters to create HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY and cut with my Brother Scan n Cut machine. Next I added some foam adhesives to the back to give each letter some dimension.   

Two simple cards and totally fun to create.  

Thanks for stopping by. Have a blessed day!

Sneaky Kitties and Evergreen Foliage

Welcome everyone… Annette Allen here with you today to share my first design team post on the new Evelin T. Designs blog. I am so excited to be a part of Evelin’s new adventure. Today I created two cards using Sneaky Kitties and Evergreen Foliage stamp set.   

First up are those cute little Sneaky Kitties…

I stamped the image on the card base and again on a separate piece of card-stock. I took the seconded stamped image and colored it up with Copic Sketch makers. I die cut part of the image and lined it up on my card base using some foam adhesives to give it some dimension. 

I had some misc scraps of designer paper and cut them into strips to highlight the colors I colored the image with. Finishing up with stamping the sentiment on some kraft card-stock, trimmed and adhered to card with foam tape.

This second card I created using the newly released Evergreen Foliage stamp set. 

I created a stamped background by stamping the same image multiple times. Colored with Copic Sketch markers. Finishing up with stamping this pretty sentiment on designer paper and die cutting this sweet tag. I added some burlap string and tied a bow. The tag is adhered using foam tape to give it some dimension.
