S is for Snarky Sentiments!

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

 Good morning and a very happy Monday! It's Sue here with my card for our fun 'S is for..' challenge. Isn't it strange how your mind goes blank when you're given a specific letter to work with, but I finally came up with Snarky Sentiments (my favourite kind!) 

I actually knew just how I wanted my card to look (which is very rare for me - I usually just wing it as I go along). So, to start with I just laid it all out, then took this photo so that I could put everything in the right place on my stamping platform.

And it worked, woo-hoo! I'd stamped it in red, but then decided that I would prefer it all in black. Luckily I'd left all the stamps in place so I just cut another piece of card the same size and stamped again.

Look at this face, what's not to love. He may not be a hairless cat, but he doesn't mind pretending to be!

This is his sentiment, it always reminds me of Mrs Whiskerton, the hairless cat that Rachel had in Friends.

These are my fun stamps Enervy is from a range of Katzelkraft stamps that are sold through Lost Coast Designs. All of the sentiments are by Carmen's Veranda.

Hello Cathy here with a card for you today.

Stamps used:

Praying angel

Pieces of Calligraphy 

Power of coffee

I just started playing with some distress oxide sprays and a distress spray stain. I just knew I wanted to use the new distress mica stain. You can't see it in the photo but it is the gray in the background. I sprayed them directly onto the paper and then took another piece of paper and placed it on top so I get 2 for 1 with that. 

 Next I stamped Praying angel in black ink on it. After that I stamped Pieces of Calligraphy in gray ink around it.

Lastly I stamped Power of coffee saying on black ink and white heat embossed it. I cut it apart and added to the card. I felt the saying went perfectly with the image.

                                                            

I hope you will join the fun challenge. 

It's All In The Cards

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

 Good morning and a very happy Thursday. It's Sue here and I'm sharing my huge playing cards with you for our fun 'Numbers' challenge.

I started with these three giant cards from my deck, they are about 8 inches tall.

For my numbers, I used a couple of Lost Coast borders, Bingo, and Numbers and just cut them out and layered them.

Now it's time for the gnomes! This is the Ace of gnomes, Book Gnome, and I've teamed him with the Carmen's Veranda sentiment Power Of Coffee.

Next, it's the two of gnomes, Sunglasses Gnome which I've put together with Full Ass.

And finally the three of gnomes with Three Gnomes and The Ass Family

These are the stamps that I used,

Bingo

Numbers

Book Gnome

Sunglasses Gnome

3 Gnomes

Power of Coffee

Ass Family

These were great fun to make, I hope you like them and that you join in with our challenge. Just join up with the linky for the chance to win some Lost Coast dollars.

Take care and have a very happy day x
