Different kinds of cards?

Just wanted to share some cards I made for one of my besties. I make all kinds of cards using all kinda of sources and images. She needed -

• A male wine themed card

• A male 40th birthday card themed for photography

• A lego card for a 9yr old

• A male 40th birthday card themed for pizza

• A pokemon card for a 9yr old

Free wine art download. Greeting using font Impact label white. Happy text is from "Script Words 2" die set from Altenew. Sequins from the stash.

Altered a CUP Kit  (called "Smile") to be an easel card and added 40 in cork numbers and greeting in Bernadette Rough font. Kit printed out onto kraft card rather than white. Wooden bling from the stash.

Lego game from artsyfartsymama.com, I downloaded it a while ago so not sure if it's still available but there are other free printables available.  The wheel spins round so you can choose a lego challenge. Font is Neuropolitical.

I altered another download from CUP called Supreme Pizza. The background was all a bit too black so I added some yellow and some of my own text in Breamcatcher font.

 Another download from CUP - Pokemon Mini Kit, just decoupaged it and added a greeting (Scoobydoo font) and some yellow star bling (from Paperchase). I also glossy accented their eyes!

Just wanted to share with you some of the different things I sometimes make using no polychromos at all! lol. :D

Altenew Pansy Cards.

(Catchupmageddon Post) Very pleased to have an Altenew layering flower stamp set to play with! This Pretty Pansies Stamp Set was one of the few I had my eye on, it's proving hard to find the ones at the top of my list.  I chose a couple of layouts and made a simple 7 card set using all the more successful colour combos I tried with the stamps.

Most of the time I used distress oxides or inks with versafine black outlines. I also printed out some photos of real pansies to get some inspo for which colour schemes to try out. Background made using a stencil and distress oxides.

I spot other people get to use their washi tapes on their cards so I had a go too! I used a Hero Arts "messages with flourish" sentiment stamp for most of the "happy birthday" banners.

Some geometric papers from a magazine with a folded corner detail. I like how staples look but I don't think I ever get them quite right, lol! 

Some funky papers I have been saving for something "special" but that time never arrived, decided I needed to use them before they became old fashioned! lol. Sentiment was a freebie set from Making Cards Magazine, it stamps up really nicely.

I think these two came out the best, I really liked the colour schemes. I had a go at making my own background paper using the leaf from the Pretty Pansies set but only used a small piece of it in the end.

Added stickles to the centres of the flowers to make them a bit more special.

And just because it made a colourful photo I thought I would share one of the wrapped up gifts that I added a pansy card too.
