Hi everyone, Gabriela here and this will be my final post as a member of the Quick Quotes Design Team.  It has been a wonderful experience and my privilege to work with such an amazing group of ladies and a fantastic company.  I learned so much this year and really enjoyed having the opportunity to share projects with you every month.  I am stepping down due to schedule constraints but I hope that the new Design Team Members get as much enjoyment from their time as I did.



Today's project is a simple Holiday card that you can make quickly, check out the video below.




I hope you enjoyed the video and I want to say thank you again to the entire Quick Quotes team! Have a wonderful and blessed year everyone!

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a card I made using the Anchors Aweigh Collection and a stamp I really love. I decided to make a mermaid themed card using the shell pattern from the Anchors Aweigh papers. I started with my stamp and then colored it in using my Copics.





Then I traced, colored and cut out my shell.



Then I used some of my chalking inks and a blender pen to color the top inside of the card.


I decided that I wanted to make the card a pop-up, so I attached some paper to both sides of the "shell" and attached the mermaid.




I added some glitter with my Wink of Stella pen in Clear.


Then I added some iridescent bubbles and did a little more blending on the inside.



Here is the final product.


I had a blast making this card and getting into this month's challenge! I hope you all do too!

This is a fairly simple birthday card I made, using a few different techniques. Materials you will need:

White card stock  

Stamping ink in color of your choosing

Large background stamp

Happy Birthday stamp

Edge punch

Adhesive ribbon

Markers

Glue runner

Start by cutting and scoring your card stock to the desired card size, I chose 5 x 7 to fit in A7 sized envelopes.  Then edge punch what will be the front of the card, I used a lace edge punch.  I stamped my background image on a 4 x 6 piece of white card stock and then colored in the image with markers. I used a coordinating piece of adhesive ribbon along the left side, but washi tape will work as well.  Then I cut a coordinating rectangle of card stock 1.5 x 3 and layered my "Happy Birthday", stamped on white card stock to it. I then used dimensional dots to give it some depth when attached to the front of the card. I also used patterned scissors to cut around the "Happy Birhday" stamp to give it a nicer edge. Try this out for any occasion and set of stamps you love, happy crafting!
