Scrapy Land Challenge #89

 
 
Good morning everyone it's the first Wednesday of the month and time for a new Scrapy Land Challenge  The theme is always ANYTHING GOES using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.  In addition, we have TWO WINNERS for each challenge.  One will be a random winner and the other is chosen by the Design Team.  Each winner will receive a generous $10 gift certificate to Scrapy Land.
 
 
 
 
I used this very pretty die from Creative Expressions by Sue Wilson along with a frame die from Spellbinders and butterfly die from Crafter's Companion to create my Mother's Day Card.  You can find similar frame dies here and a butterfly similar dies here.
The frame dies were die cut twice each, one was inked using Distress Ink and a blending tool.  The second set of frame I cut the rectangle out from each and placed on top using foam tape.  This gave the frame some dimension.  Small drops of Strawberry Coulis Jewel drops were added to the corners.
The butterfly was die cut using DP and placed on the small frame added the same color jewel drops.
 
 
 Here is a look at the card closed!
 

 
The front panel was created using distress ink onto watercolor paper and misting with water to allow the inks to blend together.  This really created a pretty layer.  Once the paper was dry I ran it through a Crafter's Companion 3d embossing folder.  A little sparkle was added with a glue pen and Sparkling Snow glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  Small drops of Sea Breeze Jewel Drops.



 
 This is a closer look at the back panel.  The sentiment was die cut from left over background paper before it was embossed using the sentiment from the Sue Wilson die.

I used this very pretty die from Creative Expressions by Sue Wilson to create my Mother's Day Easel Card.
 
 
 
To create this card I started by die cutting the background die out of white cardstock and folding to make by easel base.  The layer was then cut again out of sticker paper.  The inside layer was cut out of white cardstock.  Using distress ink and a sponge dauber color was added to the die cut. 
 
 
 The backing was removed to expose the sticky side of the sticker paper and the colored layer was placed on top of the sticker paper.  Sparkling Snow glitter was then sprinkled on top of the sticker paper and burnish well.  This really create a pretty sparkly card base.
 
 
 
Drops of Dandelion Crystal Drops were placed on the flower centers, Rhubarb Crumble Crystal Drops were added to the butterflies.  Small drop of Ebony Crystal Drops were placed on the birds eye.
 
 
 
For the inside panel the die was cut a second time and colored using the distress inks and sponge dauber.  I cut apart the die cut an only used the section with the bird and flowers along with the butterflies.  The flowers were covered with Morning Dew Crystal Drops and small drops of Rosewater Jewel Drops were placed on the panel.  Strip of 1/8" Tear-Ific Tape was placed on the card and Pinkerbell glitter was placed on the sticky side of the tape.

Eclipse Technique Cards


Good afternoon all, hope you are all having a wonderful day!!  Today I would like to share my Eclipse Technique cards with you. I have been seeing this beautiful technique and had to give it a try.  These turned so pretty I will be using this technique again.  Let me tell you how they came together.





Dies from Anna Griffin were used to create both of these cards.  The sentiments were die cut first out of white and then cut 3 more times from black cardstock.  Leaving the white die cut in place the card was stamped with the Corner Garden Stamp Set from Sparkle N Sprinkle on both corners and on top of the lettering.  The images were then colored with Tombow makers and blended with the Glitter Gloss Pen from Nuvo. 


Once the coloring was completed the die cut was removed and layered together with the black die cut.  This was then placed but onto the card base using foam dots.  The black die cuts gave the letters a pretty shadow.  The small butterflies were stamped and colored using the Tombow markers.  This stamp also comes from the Corner Garden Stamp Set.  Small drops of Dandelion Yellow Crystal Drops were placed in the flower centers on the Hello card and Honey Gold Glitter Drops were place in the centers on the Blessed card.  Using a small glue pen Sparkling Snow glitters was added to the images to give a pretty little sparkle. 
I love this technique and will definitely be using it again.  Hope you will try it also, you can find a tutorial HERE for more details.
Thanks so much for stopping by have a wonderful weekend and remember....Keep Stamping!!

ScrapyLand Challenge #86

 
Good morning everyone it's time for a new Scrapy Land Challenge  The theme is always ANYTHING GOES using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.  In addition, we have TWO WINNERS for each challenge.  One will be a random winner and the other is chosen by the Design Team.  Each winner will receive a generous $10 gift certificate to Scrapy Land.
 

Let me show you how my Easter card came together!  To start the card base I used the pretty border die from Crafter's Companion .  You can find similar border dies Here.   Using the 3d embossing folder from Crafter's Companion along with Nuvo Mousse the background layer was created.  I love using the mousse and this embossing folder!  I did place small drops of Dandelion Crystal drops on the small flowers.





My lily panel was then die cut using heavy weight cardstock using the Easter Lilies Window die.  By using the heavy cardstock the die did not cut all the way through.  By doing this I was able to color the lilies using Nuvo Glitter Markers.  The glitter markers gave the lilies a beautiful sparkle shimmer.  I then cut around the outside of the die.  A second die was cut using black cardstock.  This was placed on top of the white cardstock using spray adhesive.
 

 
The butterfly was die cut using Elizabeth Craft Design die.  I used the tutorial from Elizabeth Craft Design to create my glittery butterfly along with Sparkle N Sprinkle glitter.
