Birthday Queen

Good morning everyone I would like to share an easel card with you this morning. It was  made for a sweet little girl in my Sunday School class, using the newly released digi Birthday Queen stamp set.  She is so cute and perfect for a little girl's birthday!

I choose to re sized the stamp to fit my Spellbinder's Fancy Ovals dies.  That is the fun of digi, you can make them any size to fit your project.  Once the image was printed and die cut I colored using copic markers. This is a look at the card closed.

The flowers were die cut using Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Die.  Using a glue pen a little sparkle was added using Sparkling Snow glitter to the sweet Queen and flowers.  The sentiment was stamped with black ink and placed on top of the flowers using pop dots.

The inside of the card.  The hearts were also re sized and printed out.  They were colored with copic markers and fussy cut out.  By placing them on pop dots it keeps the card standing.

 A small amount of sparkle was added to the hearts using a glue pen and Sparkling Snow 

glitter.

Thanks so much for stopping by, hope you have a wonderful day and remember Keep Stamping!

When It Rains

Good afternoon all, hope you had a great morning!!  I just finished a card using the newly released Splish Splash stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  This is a really cute set and great for heat embossing.  

To made my background paper I used watercolor paper, gelatos and a star punch.  The gelatos colors were laid down and blended together with a small amount of water.  I used the metallic gelatos which gave a really pretty shimmer to the rainbow.  The sentiment was stamped with black ink and the stars were punched in the upper corner.  

I hope you can see all the beautiful shimmer. 

The little boy was stamped with versamark and embossed with Black Detail EP.  The image was then fussy cut out and placed on the card using pop dots.  A piece of 2 1/2 Tear-ific Tape was placed behind the punched stars and glittered using Starfire glitter.  The background was then layered on top of the black CS and placed on the card front.

Thanks so much for stopping by have a wonderful evening and remember.....Keep Stamping!

Season's Greetings

Good morning everyone, hope you are having a wonderful day!!  I have a easel card to share with you today, using SNS Sleigh Ride stamp sets.  This set is really pretty and worked so beautifully for my center image.

I used Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles dies to create my card.  For the bottom panel the oval panel was cut using sticker paper removed the backing and glittered using Sparkling Snow.  The sentiment was stamped with Memento Bahama Blue ink.  For the sparkly ribbon I used 1/2" Tear-ific Tape and Ocean glitter.  You can find a tutorial HERE on how to create glitter ribbon.  The snowflakes were punched using Fisker punch.

This is a look at my card closed.  Using a glue pen around the edges a small amount of Sassy Silver glitter was added.  The trees were stamped and fussy cut out.  A glue pen and Sassy Silver was also used to give a sparkle!

The inner panel was embossed using a Snowflake Embossing Folder.  The panel was lightly inked using Distress Ink, and inked all over with versamark.  The panel was then embossed using Sparkle EP.  The sleigh image was stamped with versamark and embossed using Dark Night EP.

I hope you have enjoyed my card, I love how pretty and sparkly it looks.  Thanks so much for stopping by, have a wonderful day and remember.....Keep Stamping!

Splish Splash

Good morning all I would to share a layout with you using the newly released Splish Splash stamp set.  This set is so cute and works so great with the new chunky EP.

I started my layout by cutting the overlay using my Silhouette, once cut Glossy Accents was added to the raindrops.  The overlay was placed on top of the background paper.

 The clouds, sun,  puddle and umbrella were also cut using the Silhouette.

 The clouds, puddle and sun were all inked and a little sparkle was added to the edges using a glue pen and Sparkling Snow glitter. Glossy Accents was added to the puddle.

The umbrella was cut into 4 different pieces.  The pieces were inked with versamark and embossed using Chunky Red, Red Rock and Black Orchid EP.

A piece of white cardstock was cut about 3 inches wide.  The piece was inked with versamark and embossed using Checkers EP.  The images were stamped with versamark and embossed using Super Thick White EP.  They were then fussy cut out and placed on the border strip.

Don't you just love all the new stamp sets!!  I really enjoyed working with the digi of Woofie's Birthday for my project this month.  I don't use the digi to often but this was really fun changing the direction and size of parts of the stamp. The card base is a center step design.  HERE is a tutorial on how to cut and score this design.  To create my background paper I used the Wrinkle Free Distress technique that I came across this week on Splitcoaststampers.  Four different colors of Tim Holtz's Distress Inks were used, Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade and Peacock Feathers.  This is a must try technique the results are just beautiful!!

The image was enlarged and printed out.  I repeated the printing this time flipping it around. I colored using copic markers.  The images were then inked using versamark and embossed with Sparkle EP.

Once the embossed was cool, I added glitter to some of the image using a glue pen, Orange Surprise, Ocean, Bubblegum, Daisy and Spirited Green glitter.  

The banner was made using 3D Foam Pennants that have adhesive on both sides. I used pieces of left over background paper that was placed on one side and cut around.  Each piece was placed on top of blue twine, small pearls were added to finish them off.

This image was enlarged and flip around.  Since the lettering did not flip, I printed a second one and cut out the balloon and placed on top using pop dots.  The ball and collar were glittered using a glue pen along with Spirited Green and Ocean glitter.

 For this little dog his ball and collar were glittered using a glue pen with Bubblegum and Ocean glitter.

One finally little dog was added to the bottom panel.

Digital stamps are so much fun you can change the look by just changing the size, flip the direction, cropping part of them out.  If you have not use them, you must try!!

Here are a couple of sneak peeks of projects to come using Splish Splash stamps.

We hope you enjoy the New Reveal Blog Hop as much as we do.  Thanks for joining us and remember to comment on each of the Designers' blogs to be eligible for the Grand Prize.

Happy Halloween All!!

Hope you all are ready for a spooky fun Halloween night.  My grandchildren are ready for some fun if the rain gets out of here in time!!  Fingers crossed!! 

I just have to share two project that I finished using SVGcuts Boho Butterfly files.  

This is so pretty at night!!  The pieces were cut out of vellum and colored using copic markers for the stain glass.  The light is one of the candle lights that I bought at Hobby Lobby.  It doesn't get hot, so it works perfectly for this lamp.  

The second project is the Butterfly Box from the same files.  The butterflies were cut using cardstock and colored using copic markers.

I just love this group of files.  I have made two of the lamps and plan to make more using different color scheme.  Makes for a great gift!!

Enjoy your night have fun, be safe and remember....Keep Stamping!!

Wrinkle Free Distress

Good afternoon all, hope your day is going great!!  This morning challenge at Splitcoaststampers Hope You Can Cling was to use the Wrinkle Free Distress technique.  I had never use this technique and was not even sure what it was.  There is a tutorial here to show you what to do.  This is a really fun technique and the results are so pretty.  Here are two cards I finished using this technique.

For this card I used Tim Holtz's Distress Inks Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade and Memento Teal Zeal and Bamboo Leaves.  After the cardstock dried I stamped with Brilliance Coffee Bean using Finnabair Rust & Dust stamp.  The butterfly was die cut using Die-Versions Pretty Wings die on sticker paper.  Then removing the sticker paper backing a little at a time and applying different color glitter I created a beautiful sparkly butterfly.  The sentiment was stamped with black ink to finish a really beautiful card.  Love the look of the Wrinkle Free Distress paper. 

Using the same technique and only three shade of ink Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Bamboo Leaves I created a fall background.  Once the paper was dry I stamped with a leaf stamp using Coffee Bean ink.  The image is from Sparkle N Sprinkle Pilgrim Thanksgiving it was stamped with black ink and colored using copic markers.  The leaves were punched using white cardstock and inked with Coffee Bean and Bamboo Leaves ink.

If you have not tried this technique it is a must!!  I know I will be using it again. 

Thanks so much for stopping by have a wonderful evening and remember....Keep Stamping!!
