Simple but Oh So Fun!

I'm absolutely in love with the Fall release at Beth Duff Designs! It's got a little bit of everything, and it's all so cute!

Today, I'm actually sharing 3 different quick and simple cards, that were super fun to make, with 3 different sets. I will forewarn you my last card does have a cuss word, so if that upsets you, feel free to skip over it!

I started with the new Adventures Abroad - England set, I love this line, and England is a favorite of mine! This set has both large and small images and some great sentiments. 

For my card, I took the small images and using different color Delicata Inks, stamped out a patterned paper of my own. 

Next, I picked a paper from Echo Park's Wish Upon a Star paper pad that looks like newspapers layered. and put it under my homemade patterned paper. I used it to stamp my sentiment out too. I finished the card off with a few rhinestones. 

My second card features Game Time, a football themed set, perfect for back to school, and you know those NFL fans in your life. I had to color my jersey up in Seahawks colors, GO HAWKS! I was really tempted to mask out the number and make it a "12" but it felt like a lot of work for my simple theme!

Next, I made my own patterned paper again using Catherine Pooler inks, and the smaller images from the set. The card felt a little clean for the football theme, so I added some Nuvo drops and smudged them to make it a bit messy. Finally, I used some Stampin' Up layering dies to make my sentiment pop out a bit but added some more Nuvo smudges so it wasn't too clean.

My last card is a tribute to my big brother who is currently battling colon cancer. This set is called Give Cancer a Beat Down, it is an awesome set. I chose to color the ribbon blue, as that's the symbol for colon cancer. The gloves I colored in red and gold, as his favorite super hero is Iron Man. 

I sponged Catherine Pooler inks onto a DecoArt stencil that reminds me of a circuit board since he's a big techie. The sentiment is heat embossed with Stampin Up ink in Cherry Cobbler. Last, I layered the card face on shiny gold paper, then a nice royal blue paper.

Ode to England

What a fun day to share not one, but two stamp sets! 

I'm excited to share a project for the Beth Duff Designs and Witt and Sass collaboration blog hop. Both companies have new England themed stamp set coming out, and we thought why not tag team for a joint blog hop. The Beth Duff Designs set is Adventure Abroad - England. For Witt & Sass, we have a wonderful British sentiment set, Fabulously Gobsmacked.

First, I colored my London Bridge from the Adventure Abroad Set, using multiple shades of Copic Gray, and finished it off with some light blues for the lighted sections. I wanted to build a scene where it appeared my bus was about to head over the bridge (once it comes back down of course!) 

To do so, I chose a light gray cardstock to build my scene on to, depicting a grey skied London. With my Layered Clouds Stencil from Witt and Sass, I used some Altenew grey mini cube inks, and added bases of white. 

To create my river, I used different alcohol inks from Kraftgali and cut my Yupo paper down to fit. For my buildings, I used two colors of tan cardstock and the Sweet Stamp Shop City Border die cut, which I cut bits from to create a unique city that was layered. 

Next, it was time to pick my sentiments from Fabulously Godsmacked! This set has SO many good words and phrases that it was hard to pick. I landed on two, "I'm gutted" because my sweet Scottish friend, Connie, says it to me often, and "I miss you" because it is true, I miss her! (She's totally getting this card... eventually!)

I placed them on some mini banners from an old Stampin' Up kit (hoarder here!) and stamped them with VersaFine Clair black ink! I placed them on dimensionals to really make them pop, and staggered them in the sky. 

I used some DCWV burgundy card stock to layer the card face on and then grabbed one of the tan sheets I used for the buildings for the base.

We are happy to have you hopping along with us! Our team and guest designers have created some amazing projects to share with you. Hop along to get some great inspiration from both Beth Duff Designs and Witt & Sass.
