The Count loves the beach - Everyday

Hi everyone,

I made this fun tag of the Count who loves going to the beach.

I started by stamping my background with Versamark embossing ink and then adding white embossing powder. After that was heat set I blended on my colours of Distress inks.

I die cut the count in different shades of beige card stock.

I added different patterned papers for his swim suit and cape/towel.

I die cut a ball from red and white card stock and added a fence on each side of the tag.

I die cut a banner and the words were die cut 3 times and glued together.

Below is a list of products used and for what part of the tag they were used on.

Well that’s it for my tag today and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻❤️

Trio of ATC’s

Hi everyone,

I have never made an ATC before but thought I would give it a try. It’s quite challenging to me to a lot in a small space. Well I had fun and maybe this is a new crafty venture for me. Who knows 🤔 

Started by adding a little colour to the backgrounds with Distress Watercolour pencils.

I then added a stencil to each with Grit paste and sprayed on some Distress spray stains.

Below are close up photos 

Well that’s it for my Trio of ATC’s. Stay tuned for more maybe 😘 and thanks for stopping by 🙏🏻❤️

Cool dude

Hi everyone,

Today I have a fun card to share with this awesome dude which I have named Frank.

I started by die cutting all the pieces and colouring and assembling them.

The woodgrain background panel was die cut for the and coloured with Distress inks and then a layer of Distress Sparkle paste added over top.

I took an Idea-ology frame and added some red ink to the edges and some snow at the bottom with Distress paste,

I added a plaid panel to my black piece of card stock and then onto a red card base.

The panel behind the frame is an Idea-ology Kraft stock Blackout piece of card stock sprayed with Distress Mica spray stain.

I added a little silver bell with red and white twine to the reindeer and that’s it for this card.

Thanks so much for stopping by🙏🏻

 Hi everyone,

Today I have 2 cards to share using a bunch of different products and some watercolour ink smooshing.

I started by die cutting the words in green and red felt.

To each of the word backgrounds I used a piece of Idea-ology Christmas wallpaper and applied some Distress Sparkle paste over top.

I ink smooshed the backgrounds onto a piece of watercolour card stock. When dry I sprayed with a bit of Distress spray stain.

When dry I added a stencil to each of the backgrounds and applied Distress texture paste,

Before adding the paste I embossed the panel  with a stitched rectangle die piece.

Also before the stencil and paste I stamped some words in the same colour of Distress inks on to each panel.

I added glossy accents to each of the stars and berries and sprinkled with a bit of Distress Clear Rock Candy glitter.

Well that’s it for my cards today and thanks so much for stopping by🙏🏻

Trick or Treat

 Hi everyone,

One still can’t have enough Halloween creations

I used a new die, stencil and the black opaque texture paste.

I started with an Etcetera Cathedral window piece and popped out the middle piece and kept the arch.

I used a stencil over the arch which was ink blended with Distress Iced Spruce and Black Soot. I added a bit of black opaque to the edges of my arch

The card panel base is an embossing folder sprayed with Mica spray and a black ink pad swiped over top

The brick wall is a mini embossing folder inked with Distress inks

The figure was die cut and sprayed with Phantom Mist mica spray

 

I used Etcetera strip pieces to elevate my framed piece and give it some depth

I added an Idea-ology bat, sentiment and tinsel

The Dead of Night

 Hi everyone,

When I ordered all the new Etcetera release from Stampers Anonymous I wasn’t sure what piece to start with first. Well what I did was start with the base for my project which is one of the 5.25” x 7.25” pieces from the rectangle set. To create my frame I went with the outside frame piece around the mosaic tiles set - the long rectangular piece.

Here’s what I finished with 

I covered the base panel with a piece from the Layers Idea-ology backdrops. I left it the way it was inking only the edges with black ink. The piece is a nice dark blue floral with bits of light blue which I thought was nice to set the mood for the rest of my piece.

I painted the long rectangle frame with purple paint and used my sanding disk to scuff up the edges.

My orange background is also an Idea-ology Layers background which I sprayed with Distress Burning Ember mica spray. It give a nice shimmer to the piece.

I also added a stencil to my orange background and chose a light colour of ink to blend over top. I wanted just a subtle effect.

For the bat etcetera frame pieces I painted them with black paint and then sprayed them with Distress Iron Gate mica spray. I added them with tack nails.

I added Idea-ology Design tape to the top and bottom edge and also on the bats on edge side.

Die cut the fence with silver metallic card stock and all other pieces were cut with regular card stock.

I added 2 word chip sentiment pieces with a little tape under each one, a star and flower both inked with black alcohol ink, a bone, mummy cloth and a mask to the skull and gravestone.

Well that’s it for my Halloween make today and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻
