Everyday is Funday card

A simple slider card made with a digital stamp.  I've created the background with clear stamps from the Lawn Fawn "Plan On It Calendar" set and Memento dew drop ink pads.  I water colored the stamp with the following ZIG Clear Color Real Brush colors: 303, 038, 050, 052, 062 and 010.  Headband has been colored with a turquoise STABILO point 88 Mini marker and a white gel pen.

Handmade 3-in-1 agenda: a notebook, a photo album and a planner

I recently bought the fantastic Lawn Fawn Plan-On-It-Calendar stamp set and some Memento Dew Drop ink pads  with the intention of making my first scrapbooking agenda/planner ever! Considering the amount of money I spent to buy these goods, I didn't have the heart to buy also a new planner to decorate.... I therefore decided to create the agenda from scratch with what I had at home !!! Front cover :  Canson brown 150 g/m² paper + scrapbooking paper. Back cover : recycled cardboard + brown Kraft paper. I've recycled the loops of a wire-bound mini notebook ...and used them to bind the planner! I've decorated the front cover with a water-colored Swiss Pixie Tiny Heart stamp from CC Design Stamps and some die cuts from the Sizzix Scribbles and Splat die set and from the Florilège Design nesting tag die set . While for the back cover, I've used the die cuts obtained with the  Xcut  Circle nesting dies ,  the Si...

How to create card backgrounds with sentiment stamps

I am sure you all know what sentiment stamps are, but, just in case, let me remind you that they are that little sentences you can add onto cards to wish Happy Birthday , to congratulate someone, to encourage or simply to say I love you to the card's recipient. Well, after some months/years of crafting you start accumulating sentiments from different stamp sets and with different fonts and size... a cool way to use several sentiments at the same time is to combine them to create a nice  background. I stamped the sentiments using  dye   inks , rather than pigments because they dry very fast. Wild Rose , Celery Stick , and Doe  dye ink cubes  are from  Lawn Fawn  while  Lavender Fields is from My   Favorite Things . I picked sentiments and tiny shapes ( butterflies , flowers , candies , etc) from different stamp se...
