Little Stinkers card tutorial

 I had so much fun playing with this cute set this evening - it’s our new Stamp Of The Month with its adorable skunks and fun phrases. 

Here you can see where the Close To My Heart  art studio created 2 cute cards 

I think they are so much fun .

Little bird

 Oh I love this little bird from the April Stamp of the months (S2304) - here is have combined it with Cosette paper suite and the Cosette cardmaking stamp set which has this fabulous arch shaped die cut. 

I used markers to color in the images and if you look closely you will see that I have ink distressed all of the pieces using toffee ink. 

You’ll find everything I used on my website 

Hope you like it x. Love Sara 

Ooh La La

Last week I shared the Stamptacular Sale that  Close To My Heart is running till March 31st.

I decided to create this pretty layout, using many different images from many different stamp sets, and using different techniques, resulting in a vintage inspired page.

 I used the soft tones of mulberry, shortbread, papaya and peach, along with mink and avocado, and I think that they blend beautifully together. Lots of liquid pearl in the colors of Coral and Bisque finish the look 😍

 Here is the link to the tutorial so that you can create one of your own xx

Life is beautiful FREE Layout design

 Here is a free layout idea for you 😃

Base is 12x12 ( I scored vertical lines every 0.5 and 0.25” across the whole piece )

The black piece is 4x12

The white stamped piece is 2.75 x12

The journal area is 2x7.75

The pink mat is 2.5 x 8.25

The green mat 3x8.5

The pink photo mat 6.25 x 8.25 - I used a 5x7 photo mat on this but you could use 3 vertical 6x4 photos on here

3 small green squares 1.5 x 1.5

Stamp your long white piece with whichever images you prefer - I used CC2234 Daisy Daisy and colored using Magenta marker.

Inks I used - Z4189 Intense Black, Z6513 Green Apple, and Z2812 Raspberry.

Decorate as desired - I used Z5901 Wild Berry Shimmer Trim, Z3798 Ballerina Liquid Pearls 

I drew the journal lines using the Grey Journal pen 

The black piece is attached 0.5” from the bottom edge - the stamped piece is attached 9.25” from the bottom edge of the black piece.

How fun to change the color of the cardstock and images and get a different layout every time x
