A highland cow themed anniversary card made using the Wild Bunch stamp set from Stampin' Up! and the mirror technique

Highland Cow Anniversary Card

I designed this card, using the adorable Highland cows from the Wild Bunch stamp set for my daughter and son in law who are celebrating their sixth wedding anniversary.

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side

I added colour using the Dark Smoky Slate and Light Black Blends Pens. The feet and beak were coloured using the Dark Lemon Lolly Blends Pen and I outlined the images with the Light Cloud Cover Blends Pen. I used the Color Lifter to blur the colour around the penguins.

A Father's Day card made using the Relaxing Waterside stamp set and the Stylish Shapes dies from Stampin' Up!

Relaxing Waterside Father’s day card

Here is the card I designed for my son to give my husband on Father’s Day using the Relaxing Waterside stamp set.

Coloured used to make this card are:

 

I created the relaxing waterside card using the following supplies:

Blueberry Bushel card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Darling Duckling – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Darling Duckling & Blueberry Bushel

 

In the centre of a large scrap panel of Basic White card I die cut a circle using the largest of the circle dies from the Stylish Shapes dies. This was placed over the smaller piece of Basic White card to act as a mask and held in place with washi tape.

The sentiment was stamped in Secret Sea ink. I flagged the end of two ¼” strips, one of Darling Duckling and the other of Blueberry Bushel card and added them to the top of the panel. I added the layer to the Darling Duckling panel, offset. The whole piece was mounted onto the Blueberry Bushel card base.
