Today I am popping in with some cards I have made using Print Candee Products. Head on over to the store to check out all the fabulous digital products.

I love all the chevrons products that are available everywhere – and Print Candee have some of their own, so I had a play. I combined the Chevron Pattern Digital Scrapbooking Paper with some gorgeous Tree Silhouettes Clipart. I reduced the opacity of chevron strips to 50 percent so that it was more subtle.

To add a pop of colour to the first one, I used some punched hearts and covered them in Glossy Accents. The second one uses a Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

Supplies

Digital Images/Stamps: Chevron Pattern Digital Scrapbooking Paper (Fancy Dog Studios), Tree Silhouettes Clipart (Pink Pueblo), Owlicious (Happy Colors) Paper Pack (Print Candee), Hero Arts “Say it Again” sentiments

Ink: Canon colour printer

Card: White card, AnnaBelle Stamps pre-cut cards

Other Supplies: AnnaBelle Stamps 3mm pearls, Glossy Accents, Carl Craft small heart punch, Martha Stewart 3 in 1 butterfly punch, foam dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to check out the other Creative Team projects as well. Their links are on my side bar.

Happy Friday,

Welcome to another challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps. This week is an awesome challenge and one I have been looking forward to! Say it with twine…who doesn’t love twine? And it was even easier for me as Andrea has the most excellent twine in store…I LOVE the new 0.8mm twine that comes in so many awesome colours! Check them out here.

(tag – ac068)

I had so much fun making this card and I love how it turned out!

I created the twine flowers by sticking a large glue dot onto the back of each button. I then cut small lengths of twine and created each petal.  I then adhered each flower to the card with Glossy Accents. I added some shading to the stems and leaves with a green Prismacolor pencil.

Supplies:

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps Garden Silhouettes (for leaves, grass and sentiment), AnnaBelle Stamps Fanciful Flowers (stems), AnnaBelle Stamps BBD#7 (gingham clouds)
Ink: Versafine – Onyx Black, Distress Inks – Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans, Versacolor – Tea Green
Card: AnnaBelle Stamps pre -cut cards, Regal Craft card – White textured square
Other Supplies: AnnaBelle Stamps 0.8mm twine – red, Basic Grey buttons – brights, Memory Box cloud die, Cuttlebug, Zots Glue dots, Glossy Accents, Prismacolor pencil – green, foam dimensionals, Blending Tool

Say it in…Yellow and White

Hi there,

At AnnaBelle Stamps this week we have another colour challenge for you. Hope that you can play along with us. We would love to see your creations.

(tag – ac067)

I will admit that I struggled a little with this colour combo, yellow is not my normal go to colour. But alas, after about 4 attempts I came up with the following – slightly different versions of the same thing.

I created the background panel by alternatively adhering thin strips of yellow to a white piece of card. I then cut these into strips and then re-adhered them creating a diamond pattern. The sentiment and leaves are from the Garden Silhouettes stamp set. I thought the sentiment matched the retro background.

And here is version 2.

Supplies:

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps Garden Silhouettes
Ink: Versafine – Onyx Black
Card: AnnaBelle Stamps pre, -cut cards, Yellow bazzill x 2 shades
Other Supplies: Fiskars cutting board, WRMK Corner Chomper, satin ribbon – white, Zots glue dots
