Elzybells Sneak Peaks…

Another great day with Elzybells stamps and its time to post some creations!  I’m trying to step outside my norm but the ribbon keeps getting the best of me.  As you see in this card I started out by stamping different floral tops (floral fervour) and then adding stems using versamark ink.  I then used clear embossing powder to give them a glossy look.  The circle and the Happy Birthday were both from the tags-floral circle set.  And last I added ribbon…sorry it got the best of me! 

Here’s my other mini creations that I’m giving away to a great friend who does so much for me.  I started out with 3 x6 Vanilla Cupcake cardstock and folded into mini cards.  I stamped two flower circles from the tags-floral circles set and embellished with Stickles.  I then inked all elements of the cards with Chocolate Brownie and even got to use a coordinating button.  All that was needed was a little tulle and some pop dots!  I think I’ll start making more!  These are so easy if you get an assembly line going!

I love how each set is so different but you can mix and match each one to make some great looking cards!  To see more creations using these stamps and other sets check out these designers…Inge Groot, Jen Allen,  Moon Hulsman, and Rachel Sztonyk.

Simple Letterpress Cards…

As much as I love making cards I also love looking at others creations.  I have always enjoyed the simple designs of letterpress and how they are made.  Inking and pressing an image to get a crisp design.  You see them for weddings, birthdays, and even business cards.  So shopping around on Etsy I came across these simple birthday cupcake cards by simpleink.  Oh how amazing one little glitter cupcake looks.  One little cupcake says it all…Hooray!
