A Colorful Mini Slimline Card With Guest Designer Michelle!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by! Our Guest Designer Michelle Short is sharing a delightful rainbow hue mini slimline card over at her blog today!

Her card features the We Are Right For Each Other stamp set and its coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.

She stamped out some adorable images from this set and Copic Colored them before die cutting them out with the coordinating dies.

She also picked out some words to form this lovely sentiment. I love how these words stamp to fit perfectly onto the puzzle pieces!

For the background, She blended Distress Inks in rainbow hues on to a panel of white cardstock and spritzed water on top for the extra texture.

Once dried, it was adhered to the mini slimline card base with foam tape and then the images added on top with more foam tape.

I love the wide contrasting black border which I think really brings out the rainbow colors!

Thank you so much Michelle, your card is super adorable! We are thrilled to have you Guest Design for us for the past few weeks!

Adorable Mini Slimline and Tags with Guest Designer Michelle!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Happy Wednesday crafty friends! We are super excited as Michelle Short will be Guest Designing for us in the coming few weeks!

For today, Michelle made an adorable mini slimline and tags featuring the new Inseparable stamp set and coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.

I personally love clean and simple design and I love what she’s created here!

For her mini slimline, she die cut a heart to set the scene and ink blended it with Distress Inks. The family of cuddly bears are from the Inseparable stamp set.

The sentiment ‘Special Delivery’ was white heat embossed on black cardstock and die cut using the coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts. She simply finished it off with some clear gems.

For her tag, she Copic coloured the images and added Crystal Glaze to the purple hearts on the mini envelopes. The sentiment ‘sending warm hugs’, from Unity and Friendship Quotes, is also white heat embossed on black cardstock.

If you look closely, I really like how the coordinating die-cut for this sentiment cuts close to the texts. She then finished off the tag with some iridescent bubbles and twine.

I just love the nice clean looks of these projects!

Thank you Michelle for your beautiful inspirations!

An Adorable Shadow Box Card by Mimi!

Hello everyone! Mimi is back today with a super adorable shadow box inspiration!

She custom made her own shadow box measuring about 5 3/4 long to set the scene. She also made a couple of one inch wide tabs to fit into her box.

She then adhered her beautifully colored critters from the Inseparable stamp set on the different tabs to create the three dimensional look!

She added a bunch of accessory images such as the muffin, coffees from Rabbit Cafe. I also love the scattered flowers and how she used the dance floor image from Fun Night Out as the picnic blanket – so clever!

The sentiment on the front of the box is from Unity and Friendship Quotes. The hanging banner flags on the tree (also from Inseparable) gives her card the perfect finishing touch!

Thank you Mimi for your charming shadow box card! It is super sweet!

A Brilliant Friendship Card with Mimi!

Hi guys! Mimi is back today to share this adorable friendship card with us! She stenciled a subtle background using the Hieroglyphs Penguin Perfect Patterns from our latest Spring/Summer release.

These darling critters are from We Are Right For Each Other also from our latest Spring/Summer release! I love how she hand drawn a portion of a heart on all of the images, to create the idea that all the pieces come together to form a big red heart! So sweet!

I love how she randomly scattered the sentiment “You are the missing piece of my puzzle”, which matches the theme of the card perfectly!

Thank you so much for sharing your brilliant design with us Mimi!

Hello everyone! Time certainly flies and tomorrow is the Lunar New Year! I’d like to wish everyone a healthy and prosperous year of the Tiger!

I have a very cute card to share today so let’s dive right in!

Candice created a beautiful background using the Sending Hugs & Kisses Stencils 360° with dye ink colors inspired by this month’s Penguin Palace Challenge! 

This Sending Hugs & Kisses Stencils 360° creates gorgeous backgrounds in very little time and it’s a great alternative to patterned paper!

She stamped the hugging kitties image from My BFF onto a heart and colored them using Copic markers.

I love how she die cut two hearts and placed them behind the kitties to create a focal point!

She also white heat embossed the sentiment and added some embellishments to finish off the card.
