Hearts Card

Here is another card for this weekend!
I have used two challenges:


The Play Date Cafe Challenge #125


Here is my take on the two challenges:


I have used:
  • a white card stock card
  • three black card stock hearts and a red card stock heart, all from Rainbow Lollies
  • a piece of brown card stock, inked with black ink
The card is blank inside, except for the red heart.



A white envelope is included.

This card is for sale in my Etsy Shop: JemLou Productions. Click here for the link.

Thanks for looking! :)

Dinosaur Cards

I loved that last sketch from Card Patterns so much, I made more cards based on the same sketch!! :)

Here are my latest creations with dinosaurs.....




For both cards, I used three shades of green card stock (DCWV), cut into 1 inch by 1 inch squares and adhered to the card. To one side of the card, I have adhered with pop dots a hand-coloured dinosaur (NitWit Collections), which is stamped on white card stock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and coloured with water colour pencils.

Both cards are Kraft card from Envelope Solutions.
Here is a close up of the dinosaurs:


A sentiment has been added to the cards: "You're Dino Mite!" or "Happy Birthday".
The inside is blank....I have left it up to the giver of the card! 
Alternatively a different sentiment could be added, or the dinosaurs coloured in different colours.


These cards are already listed in my Etsy shop: JemLou Productions. Here is the listing.

New Creations make a Splash!

Here are my latest creations, based on this sketch from CardPatterns:


For both cards, I used three shades of blue card stock (DCWV), cut into 1 inch by 1 inch squares, inked on the edge with Aquamarine ink (Vivid!) and adhered to the card. Then I added some dark hydrangea waves with Papier dimensional paint. To the right of the card, I have adhered with pop dots a hand-coloured Mermaid Marci (LaLa Land Crafts), which is digitally stamped/printed on white card stock and coloured with water colour pencils and Spica pens.
Two jewels are added to the top right corner of the card.

The card on the left is a Kraft card and the card on the right is a square white card, both from Envelope Solutions.
Here is a close up of the mermaids:


I have not added a sentiment to the cards and the inside is blank....I have left it up to the giver of the card! 
"Splash!" would be a great sentiment, or "Happy Birthday" or perhaps "Thinking of You!"

These cards are for sale in my Etsy Shop: JemLou Productions, click here for the link.
These cards will also be displayed in the LaLaLand Crafts Customer Gallery.
