Kicks and Cards

Hello Everyone!!

Today I want to share an easy and fun any occasion card.  

I don't normally create simple cards, but there are just some occasions that call for it. I love that this design lends itself to a variety of themes and ages.  You can easily create it in any color, and you could add any sentiment.  I love that it also works well for men and teens!  Men and teens can be difficult to create for at times.  

You card also simplify this design even more by not layering the pieces... or you can jazz it up with more embellishments!

Stamp Used: 

Star Sneaker

Thank you

Other Products:

Card-stock in black and white

Distress Oxide ink (Candied Apple)

Distress ink-Hickory Smoke (I could have left the edging off though)

Archival ink (Tuxedo Black)

Tim Holtz Layering stencil (THS003 "RAYS") 

pop-dots

Yellow marker

Wink of Stella (clear glitter)

I started by stamping my star sneaker on a separate piece of card-stock and set it aside to dry.  While that was drying I grabbed my card front (cut 1/4 in less than A4 size on each side), and added my rays stencil.  After I finished stenciling I went back and cut out my star sneaker stamp.  I decided It would pop a bit more if I matted it with a layer of black card stock, so I did. 

(This also allows it to match the card base which is matted on black as well)

After deciding I needed a tad more color, I chose to color in the star with a yellow marker, then added some clear Wink of Stella over that. 

The final step was to stamp my sentiment, and add pop-dots to adhere my card and start sneaker together. 

Thank you for stopping by! 

I hope you have found some inspiration for a fun and easy card!

Easy any occasion card

Hello Again, Tera here!
Today I want to share a super easy any occasion card.

Stamps Used:

XO 1 x 1 1/2

Magic Maker Paintbrush by Cat Kerr 2 x 4 1/2

To start I picked 3 colors of distress ink and smashed them on my craft mat.

Next spritz them with water so you will get a more watercolor like effect.

I then "dragged" the card through the inks. (then used my heat tool to dry)

On a separate piece of card stock I stamped the paintbrush and used black heat embossing to really get a rich black. I cut this out then glues it down on the card.

To finish everything off I stamped the XO.

See super easy!!!
I hope you feel inspired!

Hello World! 

Tera here...

Today I want to share some quick and easy any occasion cards I created using some of the Banksy stamps on my ever growing stack of gelli prints. 

(if you are like me you probably have a stack or some master boards lying around... so grab some and cut those bad boys up!!!)

 ... If you don't have any, then grab a brayer or sponge dobber and slap some paint on some cardstock for bases.. lol (thats basically what my bear card is) ...

The reason I love Banksy stamps on these is because they are so bold they will show up on busy backgrounds, or shine on simple ones too! Basically you can't go wrong!! 

(stamps used listed at the bottom) 

I also used some crayola slick sticks and Tim Holtz distress crayons for some extra shading and the circle doodles. For some added grunge I flicked black dylusions sprays randomly also... the black marker is micron for the extra doodles. 

Stamps Used: 

Plate 1482 (you save $ if you buy as a plate)

Banksy Love Bug

I See Humans

Banksy Circus Bear

Banksy Eat the Rich

Thank you for visiting!

I hope you've enjoyed these fun off the wall greetings! 

(I need to make more so I can use up my growing gelli print stack!)
