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!!

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!!




Flowers and Friendships

Good morning all, I would like to share my final project from the November Reveal!  For this card I only used the sentiment from the Botanical Orchid Flower stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle. Come along while I show you how this came together.

 

 

 

The first thing I did was ink up my craft mat with Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Peacock Feathers Distress inks.  The ink was then lightly misted with water. While the ink was still wet I placed a piece of watercolor paper on top of the misted inks smooshed the paper into the ink.  The paper was picked up and this lovely mix of colors created a beautiful background for my card.

 

Once the background piece was dry, a little stamping was done using the Journal Mixed Media stamp set with Peacock Feathers ink. 

This beautiful hydrangea flowers was die cut using the Spellbinder's die.  Sparkle was added to the leaves using the glue pen and Sparkling Snow glitter.   The sweet little butterfly was die cut using a Stampin Up butterfly die, it was inked usig the distress ink.

 



 

A oval was die cut using the Oval Dies from Spellbinders.  The edges were inked with the Picked Raspberry ink.  The sentiment was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink .

 

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

Hope your have started the blog hop by now, there are some great projects on each of the ladies blog!!  For my project I used the cute Snowman Couple, new dies from Sheena Douglas and of course GLITTER!!  Let me show you how to make this sweet card prefect for Christmas!

 

 

The cute little snowman couple were stamped using the Tim Holtz Stamping Platform with StazOn ink and color using the Aqua Markers from Tonic.  Once dry sparkle was added to the couple using the Nuvo Small Glue Pen, Spirited Green, Fire Engine Red, Sparkling Snow glitter.  Small drops Ebony Black Crystal Drops were added to the buttons. 

 

 

 

Now it was on to making my winter scene for this cute couple.  Using the new die from Sheena Douglas the tree frame was die cut from white cardstock and shimmer added using a small sponge dauber and Mother of Pearl Nuvo Mousse.  The shimmer on the tree branches is so pretty!!  A little sparkle was added to the raised embossed markings on the branches using the small glue pen and Sparkling Snow glitter.  Along the bottom of the frame Sparkling Snow glitter was added using the Medium Nuvo Glue Pen. The couple was then glued inside the bottom of the frame using the Deluxe Adhesive from Nuvo.

 

 

 

 

The sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and fussy cut around.  The edges were inked with distress ink and a little sparkle was added to the music notes using the small glue pen and Black Suede glitter.

 
 
 



 

The trees were die cut using the dies from Sheena Douglass.  They were inked with Safari Green Hybrid Ink from Nuvo.  Using the small glue pen a little Sparkling Snow glitter was added to the trees branches.  This really gave the trees a bit of twinkle!  The trees were adhered to the card base and the frame was placed on top of the trees to create a cute winter scene for this cute couple. 

 

I hope you have enjoyed my project, I had a lot of fun making it!!

 Hi all, hope you are loving this month's reveal!!  There are so many beautiful and fun stamp sets as well as the beautiful paper bundle.  I used the digi Dream Catcher Maiden and the Saguaro Desert Landscape Paper Pack for my project.  Let's get started on how this came together, I just love how pretty it is!!

 

 

 

 The sentiment was placed on the paper before I printed it out.  Once printed sparkle was added to the cacti using the Medium Nuvo Glue Pen and Starfire glitter.  Small drops of Sea Breeze Jewel Drops were added.  The background paper was layered onto cardstock and a small line of glue using the Small Nuvo Glue Pen was placed along the edges and glittered using Sparkling Snow glitter.

 

Using the digi color stamp the cute maiden was sized, printed and cut out using the Silhouette.  I cut a shadow piece using black cardstock to really show off the beauty of this stamp.  Sparkle was added using the Small Glue Pen, Sparkling Snow, Starfire, Waterfall, Evening Glow, Spirited Green, The Beach, Aqua Marine, Hyacinth, and Bubblegum glitter.  The image was placed on the shadow piece using foam dots and then onto the background paper using foam dots.  Feathers were placed behind the image.  Small dots of Ebony Black Crystal Drops were also used on the maiden.

 

 



 

Glue was placed on the word dream using the Small Glue Pen and glittered using Black Suede glitter.

 

I just love how pretty and sparkly this card turned out.  You can really create beautiful projects using the digi stamps and paper.  I hope you will give it a try!!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by, have fun on the blog hop!

Well I hope you are enjoying the blog hop, don't you just love all the beautiful stamp sets and those beautiful digi papers!!!  I decided on  Kaitlyn Mermaid  (digi version DIGI847LS) for my project.  I thought how cute she would look inside a shell so I went to work looking through my svg files and came across this cute shell card.  It work perfectly to create my pop up card for this cute little mermaid!!  Let me show you how it all came together.

This is a look at the card closed!

First the card was cut using white cardstock and the layering pieces was cut using the digi paper bundle set.  I just love these beautiful papers.  For the front of the card leaves were die cut from a Sizzix leaf die.  The shell layer was glittered along the edges using the Medium Nuvo Glue Pen and Waterfall glitter.  The sentiment was printed, the edges were inked using Peacock Feathers Distress Ink.  The edges were also glittered using the same glue pen and glitter.  Small drops of Sea Breeze Jewel Drops.  

The sweet little image was  resized, printed using the color stamp and cut out using the Silhouette.  Next it was time to make her sparkle!!!  I used the Small Nuvo Glue Pen along with Waterfall, Sunny Daze, Sparkling Snow and Fuschia Glass Glitter.  For the edges of the shell layer Waterfall glitter was also used.  Small drops of Orange Marmalade Jewel Drops were also used.  

The sentiment for the inside of the card was printed out and die cut using the Fancy Label die from Sizzix,  The back layer of the label was cut using sticker paper, the second layer was placed on top of the sticker paper and glittered using Sparkling Snow glitter.  The edges of the oval was inked and glittered using medium glue pen and Waterfall glitter.  Small pearls and left over leaves were added.  

 I just love this sweet little mermaid and my grand daughter loved her too!!  I hope you have enjoyed my project I really had fun putting it together.  

Here is a little peek of project to come using both rubber and digi stamps.  I hope you will come on back to see the full project!! 

 Please be sure to stop over at the Sparkle N Sprinkle store to see all of the beautiful products!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by have fun and enjoy all of the beautiful project by the best design team (they are all so amazing)!
