Guest design team member Ashley's coldest weather

Good morning today we are joined by the lovely Ashley from The Corner of Markland and Main, 

she has made a stunning card using our Winter Heart and Sole stamps set:

To make her card base, she started with watercolor paper and used a distress oxide ink to paint the background, using an embossing heat gun to dry it. She then flicked some water on it to create that oxidized look.

Next, using a puffy white embossing powder she heat emboss the tree which gave it a snow effect. The sentiment was added with a fine detail gold embossing powder. For a finishing touch she added some white twine from my stash.

Ashley this is a gorgeous card, thanks for joining us and if you like what you see please hop over to Ashley's blog and leave her some love.

Floral Birthday

Good Morning, Sharon here from Mollie Moo's Crafty Place taking over the blog. I have been working on large cards this week and today's card is an 8x8 inch birthday card:

I used the Growing Love Stamp Set to first stamp pale pink flowers and dots onto a white piece of card. I then matted this with some pink card stock onto a scalloped card base.

I then stamped one of the larger flowers twice onto post-it note paper and cut this out to use as a mask. I then stamped 2 of the same flowers and masked these with the post-it notes. I stamped a further 2 flowers in each arrangement. I then colored these with Copic Markers and used a grey pencil for shadows. This gives the flowers depth so they look as though they are stacked rather than stamped on flat cardstock. 

I then arranged these with some die cut leaves in the corners of my card. I added the happy birthday die cut and some pink crystal gems scattered around the card.

Dotty For Birthdays

Good morning, Sharon from Mollie Moo's Crafty Place taking over the blog today.

My card today is great for seeing dots:

I have used the Dots Stamp Set. Starting with the Happy Birthday ribbon I stamped this down the side of white card. I then stamped the bright pink dots. Masking some of these off I added a few purple ones and last but not least I added my pale pink ones. As I stamped each color I added a word dot.

I matted a white card base with coordinating purple card before adding my stamping card.

I then added enamel dots in matching colors.

This set has so many stamps there is also a coordinating sentiment as well as more dots and a dotty tag!

Kindness

Good afternoon, Sharon here from Mollie Moo's Crafty Place taking over the blog today.

I hope you are all entering our challenge - don't forget you can win a gift certificate to spend on our huge collection of stamps!

Today's card Is a very simple one that fulfills the theme from our current mood board:

I stamped the Large Stemmed Daisy stamp and the Kindness is to the Heart What Sunshine is to the Flowers sentiment with white opaque ink onto black card.

 I had to stamp a few times to get a good level of ink. This is where the Tim Holtz Stamping Platform earns it's worth - you don't need to worry about getting perfect placement every time as long as your card stays in place you and stamp over and over again!

Once my image was stamped clearly I matted it onto some pink card and a white card base A few matching enamel dots placed around the image just balanced the design.

Be Mine, Valentine

Good morning, Sharon here from Mollie Moo's Crafty Place taking over the blog today.

Valentine's Day is only a week away so I thought I would share a bit of my love with you all:

I chose a scalloped edge card base and stamped it all over with the Conversation Heart Stamp set.

I used a number of colors trying to keep them pastel shades like the candy. I then stamped the Be Mine, Valentine sentiment onto a separate piece of white card, I rounded the corners of this and matted it onto a piece of coordinating pink card.  

This was then added to the center of my card using foam squares. Lastly I added some pink ribbon and bow to the top of the card.

As hearts are the main focus of the current moodboard challenge this design fits right in with it.
