Time To Relax / Simon Says Stamp

Hello, everyone!! Here I'm sharing a card I made for my niece. Next month she will be travelling from The Netherlands to Aruba. So she is ready for a relaxed vacation! And of course we made plans for cardmaking together.
I used the SSS "Warm Christmas Wishes" and it's coordinating die. It's is a Christmas stampset, but you can make summer cards, pool party invitations, beach themed cards. I also use the SSS "wonky rectangles" wafer dies.
I ink blended the background with distress ink brushed corduroy and cracked pistachio.
I watercolored the images with Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi. And I stamped the sentiment from SSS "Sea You Soon" with"Versafine onyx black".
I think she is going to love it!!

Brilliant Gifts / Simon Says Stamp

Hi, everyone!! Here I'm sharing this birthday card I made for a best friend! I used the Simon Says Stamp "brilliant gifts" die and "it's no secret" stampset.
When you diecut this "brilliant gifts" die, it diecuts an outline. I chose a gold cardstock for the outline and I love how it shines on the card.
I ink blended the gifts (on a "bristol smooth" paper) with Versacolor gold. 
Then I stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with Zing gold embossing powder.
This "brilliant gifts" die is perfect for birthday cards!!

Masculine Birthday Card / MFT

Hello, all!! Here I share a birthday card I made with MFT "soda pop bottles". I ink blended the bottles with distress ink and splattered water on them.
I fussy cut labels of beer bottles and glued them on the  MFT "soda pop bottles".
Then I diecut a piece of green vellum with the MFT "wonky stitched square" and placed the panel with the bottles on it with dobble sided foam tape.
I stamped the message "Happy Birthday" with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with WOW opaque bright white. The message is from MFT "up in the air".
It was realy quick and easy to make!!
