Using the Tonic Studios Window Box Die Set I created a St. Patrick's Day Card.  This a really pretty die for a 3d type projects.  The clover was made using Spellbinder's Heart dies.  I die cut 6 hearts and placed 3 on top of the bottom 3 to give a little more dimension to the clover.  A small pearl and ribbon was added.  The background paper was embossed using the 3d embossing folder from Crafter's Companion.  Small drops of Honey Gold Glitter drops were placed on the embossing.  For the front panels the background layer was die cut using sticker paper.  The top layer was placed on top of the sticker paper and they remaining openings were glittered using Waterfall glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

Happy Birthday Stained Glass Card

 

 

Good morning all, hope you are having a great week!!  Just wanted to let you know you still have time to join us over at Scrapy Land for the Challenge #84.  Be sure to link up your project to have a chance to win!!   I would like to share a 2nd card I made with the beautiful  Sue Wilson Designs Stained Glass Collections - Sail Boat die.  I just love this die!!

 

             

To create the colorful background I used Ken Oliver Color Burst Powders, watercolor paper and water. 

 

 

These colors are so vibrant!!  Once the background was dry, adhesive was added to the entire background paper using spray adhesive.  The die cut sail boat was placed on top of the sticky background paper.  To complete the card Sparkling Snow glitter was sprinkled on top of the open areas and burnished with my finger.  This gave the finished project a pretty sparkle.

 

 

The shells were stamped using Sparkle N Sprinkle's Tropical Stamp Set.

Scrapy Land Challenge #84



It's time for a new Scrapy Land Challenge.  The theme is always Anything Goes using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.  I am so excited to have been picked as one of the new design team members for Scrapy Land. 

 

I needed a masculine birthday card and I wanted to try the alcohol ink stained glass technique.  To get started I used the beautiful Stained Glass Collection - Sail Boat die from Sue Wilson Design's.  You can find similar dies Here.  The die was die cut using black cardstock and set aside.  The background was then prepared using acetate, alcohol inks and gold foil.  I love this technique and will definitely be using it again.  You can find a tutorial Here on this technique.

 

 

To finished off my card I used the Tropical Stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  The shells were stamped with versamark and heat emboss using Cappuccino embossing also from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

 

Now it's your turn to join us.  You have until March 4th to upload your projects.  Two winners are selected, a random winner and one chosen by the Design Team.

Happy Birthday

 

 

Good morning all, hope you are having a wonderful day!!  Today I would like to share a easel card with you using the Roses in My Heart stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  I really love this beautiful stamp set and the lovely sentiment.  Let's get going on how this came together

 

To start the easel card  I used Spellbinder's heart dies to cut the base.  The image was then stamped and fussy cut around the heart. 

 

 

 

The image was colored using copic markers.  Sparkle was added using the a glue pen, Purple Fig and Gecko micro fine glitter.  These are new glitters from Sparkle N Sprinkle and they are gorgeous. The sentiment was stamped with distress ink and glitter using the glue pen and Purple Fig glitter.  Small drops of  Violet Galaxy Crystal Drops were placed under the sentiment. 

 

 

 

For the inside of the card a small heart was die cut using a Anna Griffin die from the embossed papers from Tonic Studios.  Small drops of Violet Galaxy Crystal Drops were placed around the heart base and on the flowers of the small heart.  The rose was stamped and fussy cut from the larger image.  Glitter was added to the rose using the glue pen and Purple Fig glitter.

You're so Sweet

 

Good morning everyone, hope you are having a wonderful day!! I would to share a sweet card with you using the new Cara and Friend digi stamp set.  Let me show you how I put it together.





To start this card I need to create the background.  This was done using a 3d embossing folder from Crafter's  Companion.  A piece of watercolor paper was inked with Picked Raspberry, Orange Marmalade and Mustard Seed Distress ink.  The ink was misted lightly with water to allow it to blend together.  Once dry the paper was embossed.  To add a little shimmer to the raised areas I applied Pink Flambe and Calypso Coral Mousse to the pink and orange areas using my finger tool.  Small drops of Rosewater Jewel drops were placed on the embossed areas.

 

 For the yellow areas Lemon Sorbet Mousse using my finger tool. Small drops of Limoncello Jewel Drops were placed on the embossed areas.  Along the edges sparkle was added using the Quickie Glue Pen, Butterscotch and Pink Fizz.

 

Cara and her little friend was sized and printed out using the color digi image.  I really love this sweet little image!  Glitter was added using the Quickie Glue Pen, Pink Fizz, Butterscotch, Sparkling Snow, Spirited Green glitter  Small drops of Ebony Black Crystal Drops were added to the flower centers on her shoes and headband 

 The sentiment was sized, printed out and fussy cut around.  The edges were inked using Mustard Seed Distress ink and placed on the card using foam dots.

 

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

I hope your new year is off to a great start, and you are enjoying our blog hop reveal.  Don't you just love all of the beautiful new stamps set?  I know I loved them all and had a hard time choosing one, but I finally choose the beautiful digi Cherished Moments - Bride.  Come along as I show you how it came together.

To start the card I used the 2 of the dies from beautiful Twisting Veranda Layering Dies from Tonic Studios.  The outline die was used to cut the pretty embossed paper from Tonic Studios.

To add a little color to the raised areas of the embossing I used a purple, pink gelatos and a sponge dauber. 

The color image was sized and printed out.  Using the a smaller die from the Twisting Veranda set the image was cut.  The outline die was cut using sticker paper.  The image was placed on top of the sticky side of the outline.  The open areas were covered with Purple Fig glitter and burnished well with my finger tool.  The Purple Fig glitter is a new micro glitter that is just gorgeous.

Sparkle was added to the beautiful bride using the Quickie Glue Pen, , Caspia Sea and Sparkling Snow glitter.  Small drops of Morning Dew Crystal Drops were added to her earring and necklace.  The image was then placed on top of the background paper using foam dots.

Here is a closer look at the beautiful background.

The sentiment was printed and placed on the card using foam dots.  A small pull ribbon was placed behind the panel. 

Thanks so much for stopping by I hope you have enjoyed my card.  Have fun on the blog hop, your next stop is the very talented ANNE!

Have a wonderful evening and remember....Keep Stamping!!




Twisting Veranda Layering Die

 

Good morning all , hoping you are having a good start to the new year!!  The holidays went by so fast and now it's back to a normal schedule.  Today I would like to share a card with you using the beautiful Twisting Veranda Layering Die set from Tonic Studios.  Come along while I show you have I put this together. 

 

 

 

Products used on this project:

 

Stamp Credits Stained Glass Rounds #719

 

Fire Engine Red Glitter #G1007

 

 Sparkling Snow #G1003

 

Green Nugget #1065

 

Stazon Black Ink

Spellbinders Circle Dies

First I layered 3 of the dies onto Tonic's Embossed Paper and die cut all 3 of the layers at once. A piece of Red Mirror Cardstock from Tonic was placed behind the die cut layer.  

 

 

 

  

Next the smaller die was cut using the Red Mirror Cardstock.  This cardstock is so pretty and created a beautiful piece for my image. This piece was placed on top of the base layer using foam dots.

 

 The die cuts were layered together to create the background for my card. 

Small drops of Ruby Slipper Glittered Drops were placed on each corner.

 

 

For the center I stamped the tulip image using the Stained Glass Rounds stamp set onto embossable acetate and let the ink dry completely.  On the stamped side Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive was used on top of the tulips and glittered with Fire Engine Red glitter and the excess tapped off.  This step was repeated on the leaves using Green Nugget glitter.  Repeating the step on the open areas and glittered using Sparkling Snow glitter.  This was left to dry over night.  The image was flipped over and I had a beautiful stained glass piece for the center.

  

 

 The stained glass image was placed on the card base using foam dots.
