Daisy, Daisy. . . . .

 I am totally obsessed with this thin cut and coordinating stamp set - just look at the pretty cards created - daisies, sunflowers and more - all from the same die cut! Just change the color of your inks and cardstock and you'll get a completely different look.

They are both available ( while supplies last ) until the end of this month - you won't want to miss out.

You can see how I created this pretty Cardin the video here 

Happy New Year

 Oooh how time flies- I cant believe it's been a few months since I posted - where has the time gone!!! It's been busy for everyone I know.

Anyway I'm back and have a cute card idea to share with you - the same idea but 2 different color ways and a great way to use up some of those scraps you have lying about.

A fun scalloped thin cut die cut border from Are We There Yet? cardmaking stamp set creates these fun frills, and an embossing folder creates texture at the top of the card.

The pretty doily heart die cut is from our new Now & Forever Stamp set with Die cuts set along with the words and pretty rose image.

The color combination  I used on the top card are Ballerina, Flamingo, Mulberry, Wisteria & Pewter

The 2nd card used Honey Butter, Sundance, Melon, Papaya & Scarlet

It's perfect for a quick and easy card and I hope you like them as much as I do xx

Cherry blossom beauty

 I just finished creating this and I am so excited with it , I couldn’t wait to share it ❤️

Cherry blossoms stamp set C1889 stamped using Intense Black exclusive ink as it doesn’t bleed when it gets wet so is perfect for using with markers, paints or pencils.

I colored the image using our fabulous CTMH watercolor paints Z3132 along with the medium round water brush Z3225 .

Thin cut Fancy Borders Z3682 created the pretty scallops and I used 3D foam tape behind the stitched bracket Z3631 for the sentiment 

I hope you love this as much as I do as I am not a painter so I was thrilled to get such a pretty result on the first attempt 😃

You’ll find all of the items at sarabatkin.ctmh.Com 😘

Just for you

Just for you ... 

I am totally in love with this mason jar and it’s pretty flowers 😍

I stamped the base of the jar on white cardstock and then stamped the outline on vellum so that you could see the flower stems through it then shaded the flowers with the Milan watercolor pencils

Hope you like it as much as I do 😊

Sending sunshine

This time I combined the bouts with the lace doily thin cut die cut and the thin cut stitched border hearts and I think it’s such a pretty combination 😍

Make a splash

Make a splash in these cute boots combined with the adorable spinner card pieces - it’s guaranteed to make whoever receives it smile 😊 I used the little heart stamp to create the background and used the watercolor pencils to color and shade the flowers and accent the boots. There are very limited amounts of this thin cut available so head on over to my website to get yours x

Turns out I need to quilt .....

Oh I loved making this card😍 I mean, that border image stamp with the needle and cutting and knitting needles - could it get any cuter?
And the quilting frame with its itty bitty like pin 😍😍😍  It paired so beautiful with the Doily thin cut and the quilted embossing folder that i knew I had to combine them
I hope you live it as much as I do 😘#legaciesoflove #ctmh #cardmaking #quilting #thincuts #diecuts #createalifeyoulove #embossing #girlboss

Roses in Bloom . .

I love the detail in these rose blossoms - I used the TriBlend Markers to shade them.
I really like the layered look of the white cardstock and by roughing up the edges it gives them a shabby chic vintage look.
A little ribbon and a few Rose Gold sequins add texture and bling.
I used the lace doily Thin Cut Die Cut on one card and just cut the cardstock into a square on the other card  and it’s amazing how different they look.
I hope you like them as much as I do
Love Sara x

It’s Party Time

It’s Party Time with this fun birthday present set and it coordinating thin cut metal die cut.
I paired it with a selection of other thin cuts - from the new tag, to the square stitched window and the stitched circles and the retired but still available lace border - one of my favorites 😍

Home is where the heart is

No matter where in the world you live ...
I used leftover items from teaching my Blue Skies Mini Album to create this cute card and stamped the House images in Sapphire Ink. I used the stitched heart thin cut metal die cuts in2 of the 4 sizes from the set, in my cuttlebug machine. I fussy cut the additional little house and it’s sooo cute 😍
Red sequins finished it perfectly xx
Hope you like it - Love Sara x

Truck birthday card

We celebrated my sons birthday last week and I made him this super cool card ( he informed me the truck is a Tri5 Chevy 😂 )
The gears were a perfect pairing with the vehicle and the wide burlap ribbon gave a rustic feel to it.
I colored the white foam letters with the TriBlend alcohol markers then sealed them with liquid glass for a shiny finish.
I used the Milan watercolor pencils to shade the truck and I’m thrilled with the finished result. So was Leo 😊
Hope you like it x

You’re O-fish-ally Awesome

Here is the ‘You’re o-fish-ally awesome’ fun fold card 😀 featuring the fun fold which I taught on video on my business page a few days ago and the Seas the Day paper suite.

Best friends card

I love this fun fold shaker card which I created using the goegeius ‘Love these people’ stamp set, the co-ordinating ‘These all my people’  paper and card stock packs and the shaker windows. I stamped the leaves on the green apple cardstock with its matching ink and added pink shimmer trim for some additional sparkle. The shaker card window die cut has 2 Confetti dies in the set for the pink cardstock hearts and green cardstock stars and I love the itty bitty silver star confetti. I Stamped the flowers using charcoal ink then colored them with the watercolor pencils and blended them with the clear shimmer brush. Hope you like it as much as I do xxx #legaciesoflove #ctmh #shakercards #bestfriends #lovethesepeople #silverstarconfetti #flowers #funfoldcards #girlboss #createalifeyoulove #joinmyteam #acrylicstamps

Beach Inspired card

Dreaming of the sea and the beach with this fun card which I made using left over pieces from our Seas the day paper suite. I love the sailboat and lighthouse stickers. I knotted a small piece of mink twine for texture and popped up some of the elements with 3D foam tape. A clear shimmer brush and a gold shimmer brush plus liquid glass added the sparkle and shine. Hope you love it as much as I do

My happy hippy VW bus

I’d be a happy hippy in this cute bus. Such a fun card with a spinner behind it. I dry embossed the lines radiating out from beneath the bus.
And the holographic paper is such a fun product with its ever changing colors and the new Milan watercolor pencils made it quick and easy to color.
