Can't Wait To Hang Out Again Soon!

Have you seen the new Sloth & Koala Brads brads this month? OMG! They are so cute and there are so many good ideas that the Design Team has come up with. Love it all!

My card features the koalas. I covered a mint A2 card base using a designer paper panel that reminds me of Eucalyptus with shades of minty green. Inside each circle, I put a portion of a tree branch and a Koala brad. The sentiments are embossed with white heat embossing. I accented it with two white flowers that I colored using my Copic markers to match my color scheme. I love that I can customize flowers from Eyelet Outlet with Copics, watercolor or just about anything you want to use. I used white enamel dots as accents and as the flower center.

As is often the case with my cards, I put the punchline on the inside. It extends the fun a little longer. Today's card says, "Can't Wait To Hang Out Again Soon!" If I don't have the sentiment I want in my supplies, I print the message on a piece of white copier paper and attach it only on the left side of the card. I really like finishing my cards this way. It's very similar to the interior of quality purchased cards. As a bonus, it also hides the back sides of the brads! I've made templates in Word so that it's super quick and easy to make the card interiors for both A2 sized and 5 x 7 cards.

Have a wonderful Sunday! Hope you're "Hanging With Your Homies" and staying safe.

Here's to Beer

It's Kim from Katydid Cards with you today.

I have so many projects using Eyelet Outlet's newly released brads and brand new line of clear stamps, I have a hard time waiting for Tuesdays to roll around.

Today I'm sharing cards made using the new Beer Clear Stamps.  These are so much fun with which to work when paired with the new Beer Brads.

My first card uses the beer mug brads as my color inspiration.  I found some digital patterned paper on Etsy called Oktober Fest to match and then combined black, gray, yellow and white cardstocks.
After I attached everything, I realized I should have done something with the rather stark gray background so I blinged the card up a bit with Black Pearl Bling.

Next up is a card that combines another image from the set with the beer bottles and the Anodized Star Brads (which I colored black).  There are stars on one of the beer bottle labels so adding stars coordinated really well.

The card base is a cut file from the Silhouette store.  I reminded me of the beer foam.  A few of the holes I cut out were just sitting there so I added them to the empty space at the bottom of the card.

I shared a card with the beer brads previously.  I added a bit of Liquid Applique to the mugs to simulate foam and it worked really well.
