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.

Navy Nurses

 

Happy Halloween all, this morning  I would like to share a pretty card with you using the digi Navy Nurse stamp from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  This stamp only comes as a digi stamp and can be used for so many different occasions.  Let me show you how it came together.

 

 

 

To start the card I embossed a piece of blue cardstock using a Sizzix embossing folder.  Nuvo Mother of Pearl Mousse was applied to the raised areas using my finger.  This really created a beautiful shimmer to my cardstock.

 

 

Next the image was re sized,  printed using the color stamp and cut out using the Silhouette.  Sparkle was added using the Quicky Glue Pen and Sequin Gold.  A small scalloped circle was punched using a circle punch from Fisker.  The image was placed on top of the scalloped circle using foam dots.



To finish off the card I placed a piece of white cardstock diagonally across the card and cut off excess cardstock.  Next 1/4" and 1/8" Tear-ific Tape was placed diagonally on top of the white cardstock.  The protective backing was removed from the 1/4" tape and glittered using Sequin Gold glitter.  The remaining 1/8" tape was glittered using Cobalt Glaze glitter.

 



 

Being a military mom I was so glad to see a military stamp in this month's reveal!  I hope you will hop on over and see all the beautiful digi stamp sets, they are so much fun to play with and can be sized to fit any project.

Gentle Thoughts

Good morning everyone, hope you are having a wonderful start to your day!!  Today I would like to share a digi card with you using the new digi Lovely Magnolia stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  Let me show you how it all came together.

 

 

 

 

To start the card I needed to create my background paper.  Using distress inks, water and paper towel this was create.

 

Ink a piece of watercolor paper using Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade distress ink.  Place a piece of paper towel on top and lightly mist with water.  Let sit for about 30 minutes.  Remove the paper towel and you have a beautiful piece of background paper.  I love the way the paper picks up the design of the paper towel.  Once dry I embossed the piece using a new Crafter's Companion 3d Embossing Folder. (sorry I forgot to take a picture)

 



 

 Once dry the piece was fussy cut around the outer edges of the embossing.  This was then used on the outside edges of the card.  Using my finger on the raised areas of the embossing Coral Calypso Mousse from Nuvo was added for a pretty soft shimmer.

 

The flower and sentiment was then sized, printed out and cut using the Silhouette.  Sparkle was added to the flower using the Small Glue Pen from Nuvo, Sparkling Snow and Spirited Green glitter.  The flower was placed on top of the card using foam dots.



 

Small drops of Strawberry Coulis Jewel Drops were placed on the embossing areas.

Hope you all are having fun on the blog hop!!  I just love all of the stamp sets this month, but my favorite was the beautiful Swallowtail Butterflies.  Let me show you how my card came together.

The background paper was created using distress ink and a blending tool.  The cardstock was covered with Mustard Seed and Peacock Feathers ink blending well.  

Once all the white areas were covered I laid a piece of slightly wet paper towel on top to blend the inks together.  

The wet paper towel lighten the ink and created a beautiful background for my butterflies.  I really wanted a bit of shimmer so after the cardstock was dry, I embossed it with the new Crafter's Companion 3d Embossing Folders.  They are so beautiful!!  The next step was to embellish the embossing using Lemon Sorbet and Aquamarine Mousse from Nuvo.  I did this using my finger and the result was so pretty.  Small drops of Sea Breeze Jewel Drops were placed on the small dot in the embossing.  

Next it was time to start on the butterflies.  I stamped the butterflies onto watercolor paper.  This was done using the Misti and StazOn ink.  Leaving the paper in the Misti the butterflies were colored with Nuvo's Red Apple, Lemon Zest and Aqua Splash Aqua Markers.  Once the ink was dry the butterflies were re stamped with versamark and embossed using Clear EP.  

The same technique was used on the smaller butterfly using only the Red Apple and Lemon Zest markers.  Both butterflies were fussy cut out and placed on the card using foam dots.

For the sentiment I blended the Red Apple and Lemon Zest on a piece of watercolor paper.  Once dry the sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and small drops of Limoncello Jewel Drops were added.  

I would like to leave you with a sneak peek of my other projects to come, hope you will come back by to see the reveal!!

Have fun on the hop and enjoy all the beautiful projects!!

Next stop on your blog hop is the wonderful and very talented Eret!!!

The easel card base was created using the Elizabeth die from Crafter's Companion.

Each Day Always Holds Beautiful Moments

 Happy Monday all, hope you had a great weekend!!!  This morning I would like to share my last card using the new stamps from Sparkle N Sprinkle's March Reveal, it is using the Bonnet Bouquet stamp set.  I did use both the rubber and digi stamps on this card.

 To start my easel card I used Spellbinder's Fancy Circle dies to cut the card base.  To create the pretty shimmer background paper I covered a piece of heavy cardstock with Nuvo Aquamarine Mousse,  Nuvo Lemon Sorbet Mousse and Nuvo Spring Green Mousse.  Once it was dry It was die cut with Spellbinder's Circle dies.  This really created a beautiful shimmery background for my card.  These mousses are so beautiful be sure to look them up in the SNS store!

Drops of Orange Marmalade Jewel Drops were placed in the center of the flowers.  The image was fussy cut out and placed on top of the card front.  Small drops of Dandelion Crystal Drops were added around the fancy circle.

For the inside of the card I printed the flower and sentiment from the color digi set which I did enlarge.  The flower was cut using my Silhouette and the sentiment was fussy cut.  Glitter was added to the flower using the small glue pen, Spirited Green and Sunny Daze glitter.  Small drops of Ebony Black Crystal Drops were added to the flower.

Don't Be A Scardey Cat

Good morning all, hope your day is off to a great start.  This morning I'm sharing a spooky Halloween card with you.

To create this card I embossed a piece of black cardstock with a Sizzix embossing folder.  On the raised areas I used Pure Platinum Mousse to give that shimmer look.  On the DP creepy eyeballs were added using Crystal Drops Ebony Black, White, Apple Green and Dandelion Yellow.  The little ghost was die cut using a Recollections die eyes were added using Crystal Drops White and Ebony Black.  To the edges I used a glue pen and Sparkling Snow glitter for that little sparkly.  To give the DP edges a little pop I used a glue pen and Sassy Silver glitter.

The image is the Halloween Cat and it was stamped using black ink and embossed with Clear EP.  Next I took a sponge dauber and Spiced Marmalade ink and inked in the moon.  A glue pen, Sassy Silver and Pistachio glitter was used to add the sparkle to the image. Bats were die cut using a Recollections die from sticker paper and glittered using Black Suede glitter.  Little eyes were added using Ebony Black and White Crystal Drops.  They were adhered to the card using foam dots.

The sentiment was stamped with versamark and embossed using Jazzy Orange EP.  It was then fussy cut around inked with Bamboo Leaves ink and adhered to the card using foam dots.  Small eyes were added to the spider web using White and Ebony Black Crystal drops.  These Crystal Drops are so much fun and make spooky eyes on any Halloween card.  If you have not tried them hop on over to the store to see all the wonderful colors, you will love them!!
