Pin It



HELLO!!
I'm playing along with the Paper Smooches June Challenge!! I just LOVE the Inspiration Photo and thought it would be FUN to create a Summer Card using several PS Products!!
How darling is this Vespa Die!!?? I'm in LOVE!! I had to use it along with some Lawn Fawn Papers to create a Girly Vespa with some of my FAVORITE Colors!! I layers several layers for some of the pieces to create a more 3-D Vespa and I really LOVE how it came together!! To go along with the Challenge Photo I just had to Stamp and Emboss one of the Pineapples from the Pineapple Crush Stamp Set!! I Stamped in Distress Oxide Inks layering Picked Raspberry and Barn Door to create a Dimensional Pineapple!! Then I stamped and embossed the detail using some Distress Embossing Powder!! It's hard to see in the photo, but it you were to touch the Pineapple its rough and textured just like a real Pineapple would be!! I used Peeled Paint and Moss and Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Inks for the top of the Pineapple!! I Die Cut it out using the coordinating Pineapple Cruch Icon Dies!! 

I Die Cut a Small Bow from the Bows Die Set from Black Cardstock layering 3 together for a 3-D Bow and then I added an Iridescent Sequin and Seed Bead to the center of the Bow for some Sparkle!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sweet Bird from the Sunnyville Stamps Set and Die Cut it out using the coordinating Sunnyville Icon Dies Dies!! It was colored with Copic Markers!! White Gel Pen details were added for some highlights!! I Stamped and Embossed some of the Cloud Images and Die Cut them out as well!! For the background I inked the NND Sunscape Stencil using Tumbled Glass, Scattered Straw and Wild Honey Distress Oxide Ink!! I cut a piece of Vellum to layer over the Top then Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment on the Vellum using some WoW Neutral Shimmer Glitter Embossing Powder to add some Sparkle to finish off the Design!! 


THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS Week!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps June Release 2019 ~ Hearts A2 Panel Fri-Die!!

Pin It


HELLO!!
Welcome to Day 4 of the 
CAS-ual Fridays Stamps June Release Week!!
Today we're showcasing the NEW Hearts A2 Panel Fri-Die!! 

I've create a FUN Deco Foil Flock Card with some Stenciling to make it appear 3-D!! I really LOVE all of the Texture and the subtle look of the Stenciling!! 
I Started by using the NEW Hearts A2 Panel Fri-Die as a Stencil to stencil the Hearts onto my Cardbase using some Distress Oxide Ink in Spun Sugar!! 

Then I Die Cut the Hearts A2 Panel from a piece of Therm O Web Deco Foil Flock Sheets in Think Pink that I had attached to a piece of Therm O Web Easy Cut Adhesive Sheets making it adhesive on the back side!! I used that piece as a stencil first before removing the front covering to use as the stencil to add some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to the background of the Design!! 


I wanted to add some texture so I used the Tin Roof Stencil along with some Distress Oxide Ink in Peacock Feathers and inked over the Background to add a FUN pattern!! I REALLY LOVE how it turned out!! 
I then removed the top coating of the Deco Foil Flock Sheets and then adhered it to the Stenciled Cardbase!! I used some of the Die Cut Hearts to add back into the stenciled Heart openings and added some Tonic Studios Blizzard Glitter Nuvo Drops ontop to add some Sparkle!! SWOON!! I LOVE the way it dried!! Then I added a Few Iridescent Sequins and some Lite Pink Jewels to the Center!! A Sentiment Strip that I stamped and embossed with a sentiment from the Bushy Tailed Stamp Set using Distress Oxide Ink in Spun Sugar and WoW Neutral Ultra Shimmer Embossing Powder to match the Sparkle of the Nuvo Drop Hearts and added some Twine to the end with a Bow to finish it off!! This card is PACKED with Texture and Sparkle and I LOVE how it turned out!!

Pin It


HELLO!!
Welcome to Day 3 of the 
CAS-ual Fridays Stamps June Release Week!!
Today we're showcasing the NEW Stars A2 Panel Fri Die!! 
I've created a STUNNING Hanukkah Shaker Card using some Therm O Web Deco Foiled Toner Sheet and the Lapis Watercolor Deco Foil!! I LOVE how EASY it is to make a Card that packs this much of a WOW factor!! 
I started by Foiling the Deco Foil Toner Sheet with the Lapis Watercolor Deco Foil!! Then I ran it through my Die Cutting Machine and Die Cut it 4 more times from some TE Earl Gray Cardstock!! I added the acetate behind the Foiled Die Cut and then layered the 4 other Die Cuts altogether using liquid adhesive to create the Shaker base!! I Inked my Cardbase with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink making sure to leave the center light and getting darker around the edges!!  
I added my Sequins and Jewels making sure to place them all around in the Stars and open spaces!! Then I wanted a Large Star to add my Sentiment onto so I used the Star of David Fri-Dies to trace the shape and then Fussy Cut it out!! I added Tumbled Glass Distress Ink around the edges to match the Cardbase!! Then I used the Star of David Stamp Set to Stamp and Emboss the Sentiment using some WoW Embossing Powder and I LOVE how it matches with the Foil!!  I adhered it to the top of the card using some Foam Tape and my Card was finished!!

Paper Sweeties June 2019 Release Rewind!!

Pin It
HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!!

Welcome to Day 3 of the Paper Sweeties 
June Release 2019!! 
I created a SWEET Underwater Scene Card using the *NEW* stamp sets called "Sea You Soon" Stamp Set and the coordinating "Sea You SoonSweet Cuts Die Set along with the "Mermaid Wishes" Stamp Set which are ALL now live in the Paper Sweeties Shop!! 
 Here's a look at the NEW Sets!!
Mermaid Wishes

Sea You Soon

Sea You Soon Sweet Cuts
I wanted to create a SWEET Underwater Scene using the NEW Sets!! I thought it would be FUN to create my own Pure Gold Metallix Glitz Glitter Paper to use for the Mermaid Tail!! 
So I combined the Pure Gold Metallix Gel and Gina K Designs Turquoise Sea & Grass Grees Glitz Glitter Gel together to create my own custom Color!! Then I used the Stencil Pal to spread it in an even thin layer across my Cardstock and set it aside to dry!! 
SWOON!! I LOVE how it turned out and I hope you'll LOVE it enough to give it a try, because its WORTH the time for the finished results!! 
I then Stamped and Embossed the Mermaid Tail Image onto the Dried Gel Cardstock and Fussy Cut the Image out!! It's just PERFECT!! 
I created my background with Distress Oxide Inks in Tumbled Glass, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers then I added some Waterdroplets and once it was dry I stamped the small Wave image from the set using the coordinating Distress Oxide Ink to add some Waves to the background!! It's a subtle thing, but in person it really adds to the design!! I Stamped and Embossed all of the Images and used Copic Markers to Color them in!! (Mermaid: E00, E11 & E13  R00  V01, V15  Sea Weed: G40, G82 & YG45   Sea Shell: E41, E42, E43 & E44  Star Fish: YR00, YR02 & YR68)

For the Mermaid Image I decided to use Emma and for her Top I Stamped onto some Therm O Web Toner Sheet that I Foiled using some Brutus Monroe Purple Sketch Deco Foil!! SWOON!! I LOVE how it SPARKLE and SHINES!! I can totally see a Mermaid WANTING an Outfit like this!! I added some White Gel Pen Details and then added some Tonic Studios Glitter Nuvo Drops to her Hair Ties and to the Dots on the Star Fish!! It really brings the whole Design together!! A Few Turqouise Gems were added just to finish off the Card!!
