Birthday Wishes

 

Good morning all, I wanted to share a gate fold shutter card with you.  This is such a fun card to make and the results are so pretty!  Since we have been having fun with stencils, stamps and embossing paste this month, I decided to create my background with stencils.  I used the Three Hibiscus stencil from Dreamweaver with gelatos and Velvet EP.  To create the belly band cut a strip of cardstock about 1" to 1 1/2" wide. Place a strip of 1/4"  Tear-ific Tape on the strip remove the backing and applied Starfire glitter.  You will fold the band around the card and secure the ends with double sided tape.

 

Using strips of white cardstock and gelatos, I applied these 4 colors onto the cardstock.  Mist the strips lightly with water and blend the colors together.  You could use any colors, that's the fun of making your own background papers.

Next you will lay the stencil on top of the strips and start wiping the color away using a baby wipe.  You can wipe a lot of your color away, or slightly wipe the color away. 

Once you have created the look you want on your background, remove the stencil and stamp the entire strip using versamark.  You will then apply Velvet EP and heat emboss, for a beautiful sparkly background for your card!

Layer your strips and adhere to the 2 front panels.

I used the Fan Geisha stamp set, stamped with black ink and colored with copic markers.  The image was fussy cut.  The entire image was inked with versamark and embossed using Velvet EP.  

To create the inside of the card and were the magic happens, use the tutorial Here for all the details.

The sentiment is from My Rose Garden stamp set.

I used one of the flowers from the stencils laid it on top of a piece of cardstock that had a piece of 2 1/2" of Tear-ific Tape with the backing removed.  Make sure to cover the back of your stencil with Coconut Soap for easy removal.  Carefully applied glitter to the stencil, the glitter used here is Evening Glow,Shell Pink and Green Nugget. 

This is a look at the card with the center slightly closed.  

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

Good Morning All!

Good morning everyone, hope your weekend was wonderful!!!  I have been working on a couple of cards using the same stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle and would like to share the 1st one with you this morning.

I used the Fan Geshia stamp set.  This is such a beautiful set!!  To start my card I stamped the bamboo stamp with versamark onto my background paper and embossed with Cappuccino Star EP.  This was my first time to use this powder and it is just beautiful!

The image was stamped with black ink and colored using copic markers.  To added the sparkle, I used a glue pen and Spirited Green, Waterfall and Champagne glitters.  The edges were ink with blue ink.

For the border piece, it was punched using Martha Stewart scalloped punch.  A piece of 1/4" Tear-ific Tape was placed and glitter using Laser Blue glitter.

Enjoy the rest of your day and remember.....Keep Stamping!!

Happy Birthday Card

Good afternoon everyone!!!  I'm looking forward to the weekend and spending time with my grandchildren!!  Today I would like to share a birthday card that I made for my daughter.

To create this easel card I used Spellbinder's Majestic Labels Twenty-Five dies.  

The sparkly butterfly was created using Dreamweaver's Butterfly stencil, sticker paper and Sparkle N Sprinkle's Soft and Sparkle flocking.  Using a glue pen I added Purple Rain glitter around the edges of the oval.

The Hyrangea was cut using Spellbinder's Hydrangea Die D-Lites dies.

For the sparkle under the bottom of the card I removed the backing from a piece of sticker paper and placed it on the back of the cardstock and glittered using Sparkle N Sprinkle's Purple Dust glitter.

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

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers!!!  I hope your day is blessed with much happiness and love!  Today I would like to share with you the remain Mother's Day Cards I have made this year.

These 3 cards were made using Anna Griffin  Rose Embossing folder and die.  The sentiment is an old set from SU.  I just love how Anna is creating the embossing folder, border embossing folder and dies all matching.  This really created beautiful cards.  The pretty sparkle is glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

Easter Fun!

Good morning everyone, for the month of May reveal at Sparkle N Sprinkle the designers were asked to use Dreamweaver Stencils and different techniques on our projects. I would like to share my layout using Dreamweaver's Corner Flowers stencil with embossing paste and glitter.

To start my layout I placed the stencil in the bottom and top corners and covered it using Dreamweaver's White Embossing Paste. 

 The stencil was them removed and glitter was applied to the flowers using Spirited Green, Waterfall, Daisy, Bubblegum and Purple Dust.   Here is a tutorial on this technique. 

  

Next I placed the stencil onto white cardstock and used a sponge daubers with distress ink on several of the flowers.  They were then fussy cut out and placed under the photo.

Waterfall, Bubblegum and Sparkling Snow glitter was added to the little bunny and eggs using a glue pen.  This bunny was a svg file.  The grass border was die cut and placed under the photo.

Additional stenciling was added using Dreamweaver Pearlescent Embossing Powder and TCW Mini Quatrefoil stencil.  These were just placed at random on the page.

The title was also a svg file that was cut and glittered using a glue pen and Waterfall, Evening Glow, Bubblegum and Spirited Green glitter.  

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a wonderful day!!
