To the Moon and back

 Hi there,

Today I am sharing a fun card I made for the new Happy Camper release from https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/

I started by creating the background with a stencil and silver paste.

I coloured the images with Copic markers.

Before adding the images to my card I stamped the background with Clear embossing ink using images from the set.

I added several stars die cut from silver Holographic card stock and added them with foam dots.

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

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

Hi everyone,

It’s been a while since I have posted here but I thought I would share a little love today which is much needed these days with the world as it is.

Anyways wherever you are and whomever you are sharing today with, please enjoy yourselves and share some love ❤️ ❤️❤️

Now on to my card.

I created my background with Distress ink and a little water on a piece of watercolour card stock using a smooshing technique and then added a little Distress spritz spray.

I used an embossing folder to create the tiny heart background.

I added a strip of very light pink vellum also embossed with the same embossing folder under the stacked hearts.

I used a heart die set and cut 5 different sized hearts with shiny red card stock. I also added a floral Idea-ology strip just under the hearts.

I added a couple of Idea-ology hearts which I had coloured with Alcohol inks and then added a stamped sentiment.

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

See you soon.

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

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.

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

Friendship

Hi everyone,

The new Love Notes stamp set from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous isn’t just for Valentine’s Day.

Here I used it to create a card for a friend.

 I smooshed the ink pads over my craft mat, spritzed with a little water and used a paint brush to pick up some colour to lightly swipe over a piece of white card stock to create my background panel.

Layered a white die cut panel over top, added my sentiment and a red embossed heart.

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

Tiny tag embellishments

 Hi everyone,

Today I have a little project to share using a stamp set, StazOn black ink, shrink plastic and alcohol inks to create tiny tag embellishments.

Below is the stamp set I used to create them.

I stamped each word on to a piece of shrink plastic using the black StazOn ink. 

I then trimmed down each word and used a punch to add a small hole at the top of each tag before heating them. The word will curl up when heating but don’t be alarmed as it will flatten out if you continue to heat just a little bit longer.

When it was cooled I added a tiny bit of alcohol ink to the back side of each shrunken piece being careful not to let it drip onto the front side of the tag. If the alcohol ink drips onto the front of the word it will start to erase the inked word.

Below are the colours of Alcohol inks that I used.

To give you an idea of the finished sizes the word Christmas measures 1.25” and the word 
Hope is 3/4” when shrunken down.

You can see from the first photo the size of each stamp and then the finished sizes.

Well that’s it for my tiny tag embellishments. 

Hope you liked them and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Noel & Joy

 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🙏🏻
