Savvy Creations with Cassandra / Créations avisées avec Cassandra


Hello Magenta Friends! Cassandra here today sharing a gesso impression stamped, alcohol ink coloured card.





I started by spreading gesso out on a craft mat in a rectangular shape with a palette knife. Once the gesso set up a bit, I spritzed the Doodle Flower stamp with water and pressed it into the gesso twice. When dry, it is easy to peel off the craft mat. I painted the panel with alcohol ink (Tim Holtz Pool, Citrus and Flamingo) and blending solution. Once dry, I stamped on the Happy Birthday sentiment with Black Archival ink and mounted it on a 140 lb card base.

Mira'cle Art with Miranda - Art Mira'cle avec Miranda



Hello crafty people,

Today I have an Autumnal post for you made by an inspirational photo I saw on FB of a friend. I will add the photo too so you can see what I mean.
I have used the lovely 'Rose cat stamp' and a few beautiful leaf stamps.

Below the photo(from a friend )


And here is my version of this inspiration......made on a background of Nuance pigment powders. They  really are so vibrant, so perfect for this card.


Below you see some pics where you can the details and structures...... some gold acrylic spattering, stamping with Versamark and adding perfect pearls gold. This 'Fallen ash leaf stamp' is so beautiful, so detailed.





Hope you are inspired to have a play with this theme and cat!

Les beaux dimanches de Nathalie / Nathalie’s Sunny Sundays


J’ai toujours plus de difficultés à créer des cartes masculines. Celle-ci pourrait aussi servir pour souhaiter un bon voyage à quelqu’un.

Elle est toute simple, tout est imprimé en brun sur papier cartonné blanc.

J’ai d’abord collé une lisière plus étroite de papier brun sur la gauche de la carte (en laissant une fine bordure blanche à gauche). Sur cette lisière j’ai collé une bordure blanche étampée d’une répétition du motif architectural.

Le galion est imprimé puis collé sur un papier brun un peu plus grand. Ce montage est collé à son tour, décollé vers la droite de la carte.

La rose des vents est étampée sur un cercle blanc, rehaussée de crayon de couleur, d’encre et de marqueurs noir, or et argent. Ce cercle est à son tour collé sur un demi-cercle de papier or. En fait, j’avais fait quelques cartes comme celle-ci et il me restait un morceau or, mais pas assez pour un cercle complet. J’ai trouvé amusant d’utiliser ce morceau, car finalement, cela donne un aspect de globe terrestre. 

La rose des vents est aussi étampée en beige pâle sur un petit carton blanc. Le texte est normalement sur une seule ligne, mais je n’avais pas l’espace pour le faire, donc je l’ai encré en deux temps pour l’imprimer sur deux lignes. Un peu plus difficile, mais ça paraît bien. Une ligne or est tracée autour de ce morceau une fois collé.




I always find it more difficult to create masculine cards. This one could also be used to wish someone a good trip.

It's very simple, everything is printed in brown on white cardstock.

I first glued a strip of brown paper to the left of the card (leaving a thin white border to the left). On this edge I glued a smaller white border stamped with a repetition of the architectural motif.

The galleon is printed and then pasted on a slightly larger brown paper. This is pasted in turn, off-center to the right of the card.

The compass is stamped on a white circle, enhanced with colored pencil, ink and black, gold and silver markers. This circle is in turn glued to a semi-circle of gold paper. In fact, I had made a few cards like this and had a gold piece left, but not enough for a full circle. I found it fun to use this piece, because in the end, it gives a terrestrial globe look.

The compass is also stamped in pale beige on a small white cardstock. The text is normally on one line, but I didn't have the space to do so, so I inked it partly to print it on two lines. A little more difficult, but it looks good. A gold line is drawn around this piece once glued.

Inspirational Friday with Mariëtte / L'inspiration du vendredi avec Mariëtte


A mini slim line card with a beautiful bird stamp.


Below you will find the detials on how this card has been created

I added two colors of distress oxide inks onto the backside of the stencil. I have used the colors salvaged patina & vintage photo.



Than mist your watercolor paper with a little bit of water. Also mist some water on your colored stencil and place the stencil onto your watercolor paper. Make sure you have a clean kitchen towl so that you can dab up any water what comes up through the stencil. Leave the stencil for a small minute onto your paper so that the ink can soak into your paper. Than carefully lift the stencil and let your background dry up naturally.


When your background is completely dry, you can add some extra color to your background with a blending brush.


Stamp the bird with Versafine Clair black onto a seperate piece of watercolor paper and start coloring the bird. I have used the ZIG aqua markers.


Stamp the branches with Versafine Clair black onto the background.


To add some more detail and color to the background I randomly stamped some text and numbers with Archival ink . I used Archival evergreen bough and black soot.


Both the background and the bird has been covered with microglaze. This gives a protected layer but it also makes your colors more intense.

And at last adhere the bird and text onto the background and onto your base card.

And this is than the final card.

And here a close up of the bird, as he is curved and glued with sisal underneath.



See you until the next creation!

Jeudi avec… Nathalie / Thursday with… Nathalie

Variations sur le thème du cercle, cette fois décentré. Deux montages différents avec les mêmes fleurs, selon la dimension du texte étampé. Le cercle au pochoir est très délicatement coloré et retracé finement au marqueur noir. Les fleurs sont mises en couleur aux crayons de couleur.




Variations on the theme of the circle, this time off-center. Two different layouts with the same flowers, depending on the size of the stamped text. The stenciled circle is very delicately colored and finely traced with black marker. The flowers are colored with colored pencils.

Treats on Tuesday with Christine - La gâterie du mardi avec Christine

Hi everyone, I'm on a Christmas card run as I can see Christmas looming up and I won't have enough cards for mailing and donating to a charity fundraiser. So, I wanted to make a few CAS cards that I could reproduce quickly. 
This is a One Layer Card which I first stamped the background script on a bunch of square cards in Distress Oxide ink. I then stamped the holly branch. I left the holly branch stamp in place on my stamp positioner while I coloured the leaves and the berries. When I want to put a card back into the positioner to re stamp an image I always choose one of the corners to align the card. That way I reduce the risk of card shift. After colouring the image with pencils, I restamped the outline to give the image a crisper edge where I had used the pencils. I added a clear glaze to the berries, stamped the sentiment in Versafine Clair Nocturn and added a few sequins to add a little sparkle.
