Party Pandas Side by Side Card

January 14, 2018January 11, 2018 Melissa's Kre8tionsLeave a comment

I made this Side by Side Card about two weeks ago and it has been sitting on my filming table since. I just wasn’t sure I liked how the Foxy Friends set looked with this card. But then, I received my Party Pandas Sale-A-Bration set and inspiration hit! I love how these twirling, dancing, happy pandas look on this card!

The bright colors are also really fun on this whimsical card. It’s perfect for kids both big and small! The Glitter Enamel Dots really punch up the fun factor on this project with their hint of shimmery goodness. I can’t help but smile when I look at this adorable card.

It’s time for a party with pandas! This Party Pandas stamp set is a Sale-A-Bration item which means you can get it for FREE with a $50 purchase on my website! There are several adorable little panda stamps and some simple sentiments in this set. Use it on a basic card, or step it up a little with some additional embellishments. Either way, these pandas are TOO cute to pass up!

I really love how the yellow Glitter Enamel Dots compliment the Bermuda Bay cardstock. The Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper also adds a touch of shimmer to really make this card stand out. I just love the elements on this card, especially the Solid Basic Black Baker’s Twine behind the scalloped circle.

Clean & Quick Cards SERIES 7 – Weather Together

December 14, 2017December 13, 2017 Melissa's Kre8tionsLeave a comment

The next card in my Clean & Quick Cards Series is this easy, white embossed present card with a simple sentiment. This card is VERY clean with just a few elements that really make it stand out.

With minimal supplies this card could be replicated with a variety of stamp sets and materials. Using this format, you could make a card for just about any reason in a matter of minutes!

I’m a huge fan of white embossing on a darker colored base, and the Crumb Cake base on this card is absolutely perfect for this technique! The glitter enamel dots give a pop of color and can easily be changed out for pearls or rhinestones to keep it neutral.
