Hello Crafty Friends!! 

I'm here today to join the FUN Collaboration Week with Newton’s Nook Designs and Therm O Web!! If you follow me, then you’ll know I’m LUCKY enough to be on both of these AMAZING Design Teams and couldn’t feel more BLESSED!! If you’ve missed any of the Days, I hope you’ll go back to check out all of the AWESOME Inspiration!! Here’s what I’ve created for you today!! 

I stared by creating my Card Panel from some Distress Watercolor Cardstock and then I cut a Strip of Patterned Paper from the NEW A Cat’s Life 6x6 Paper Pad and adhered it to the Card Panel using some Therm O Web Ultra Bond Adhesive!! Then I added some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink Splatters and some Therm O Web Deco Foil Adhesive Pen Splatters using a Paint Brush!! 

After letting the Deco Foil Adhesive Splatters dry completely then I cut a Piece of Gina K Designs Glimmering Gold Fancy Foil and rubbed it over the Dried Deco Foil Adhesive Splatters and I just LOVE the look!! 

SWOON!! It’s such a small detail, but in real life it adds so much to the design of the Card!! If you haven’t tried the Deco Foil Adhesive Pen I PROMISE it’ll become one of your FAVORITES!! 

Next I Die Cut the NEW Dog Silhouette Die from some Therm O Web Deco Foil Transfer Sheets that I foiled with some Lime Green Deco Foil using my Laminating Machine!! Then I adhered it to a Circle Die Cut that I Inked with some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink!! I also Stamped the Sentiment “Remebered in our Hearts” from the Furr-Ever Friends Stamp Set!! 

Next I Die Cut a Stitched Circle from the Circle Frames Die Set from some Therm O Web Transfer Sheets using some Turquoise Deco Foil!! I adhered the inked Circle onto the Foiled Stitched Circle with some Ultra Bond Adhesive and then adhered the Circle onto the Card Panel using some 3D Foam Squares for some dimension!! 

I added some Trinity Stamps Gold Baubles with some Bling Zots Adhesive Dots for some added Sparkle and Texture!! 

Then I Die Cut some Hearts from some Deco Foil Transfer Sheets that I foiled with some Gina K Designs Glimmering Gold Fancy Foil and adhered one to the center of the Dog Silhouette using another Bling Zots Adhesive Dot!!

To finish off the inside of my Card I stamped another Sentiment from the Furr-Ever Friends Stamp Set!!

Then I added another Glimmering Gold Die Cut Heart to finish off the Design!! 

THANKS so MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS Weekend!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps July Release ~ Snowflake Stencil!!

Pin It

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

I'm here for Day 1 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps July Release!! Today I'm showcasing the NEW Snowflake Stencil!! SWOON!! I'm a LOVER of ALL things Snowflake!! Although I'm NOT ready for Snow and Cold Weather, it's been FUN Crafting Holiday and Winter Projects during the Heat of the Summer!! Somehow it makes it seem not quite as hot outside!! 

Here's a Look at the NEW Snowflake Stencil!!  

Here's the Project I've created for today!!

SWOON!! I LOVE the Color Combo of Turquoise, White and Metallic Silver for the Holidays!! Especially Snowflake Projects!! Makes me HAPPY to add some SPARKLE TOO!! 

I can't do Holiday Crafting without SPARKLE!! 

Let's get started!! 

I started by adding some Therm O Web Pixie Spray to the back of my Stencil!! This is a MUST have Product if you plan on Stenciling, especially if you're going to Mass Produce Holiday Cards!! Just makes the entire process Easier!! 

I Die Cut a Card Panel from a Piece of MFT Snowflake Patterned Paper and then Placed the NEW Snowflakes Stencil over the Top of the Card Panel and Inked with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink with a Blending Brush!! Then I applied some Gina K. Designs White Glitz Glitter Gel using a Stencil Pal!! After doing the one side of the Card, I removed the Stencil and washed it and then replaced it on the other side of the Card Panel and repeated the Process!! Then I set the Card Panel aside to Dry completely!! 

SWOON!! 

Here's a close up look at the Glittering Snowflakes!! 
Next I Cut a Small Panel from White Cardstock and Inked it with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink and then I Die Cut the "Merry Christmas" 4 Times from some White Cardstock and again from some Deco Foil Toner Sheets that I Foiled with Deco Foil in Sliver!! Then I adhered the Deco Foiled Die Cut on top of the White Cardstock Die Cuts for a Dimensional Sentiment and adhered the Sentiment to the center of the Inked White Cardstock Panel!! I wanted to add some Silver Splatters to my Card Panel so I added some Alloy Alcohol Splatters, and I LOVE the extra shine it adds to my Card Panel!! Then I adhered the Panel to the Patterned Paper Card Panel using Foam Tape for some dimension!! 

To finish off the Design I added some Silver Snowflake Sequins in different Sizes using Zots Bling Glue Dots and then added some Silver Jewels to the center of the Snowflakes for even more Sparkle!!  I adhered the Card Panel to an A2 White Cardstock Cardbase and my Card is ready to sent to someone SPECIAL this Holiday Season!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today!! I hope I've INSPIRED You!!?? Come back again tomorrow for a look at the NEW Jewish Stars Stencil!!

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

I'm here to join in the FUN of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 with the AMAZINGLY Talented Host Tracy McNeely!! 

As usual this event wouldn't be possible without ALL of the AWESOME Sponsors!! It makes me feel SO Proud to be a part of this AMAZING Community!! 
Today's GENEROUS Sponsor is Newton's Nook Designs!! 
I feel so BLESSED to be a part of the NND Design Team and I can't wait to show off the Tags I've made to share with you today!! I want to add SPARKLE to ALL of the things during the Holidays, so it only seemed fitting for me to share some different ways to add Sparkle to your Holiday Tags!!?? 

I've created this Trio of Tags using the NEW Newton's Nook Designs Tiny Trees Stencil along with the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set!! 

For the First Tag I wanted to use some of my FAVORITE WoW Embossing Glitters to Emboss the Tiny Trees!! I Started by spraying the back side of my Stencil with some Therm O Web Pixie Spray!! Then placed it over the Kraft Tag I Die Cut using the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set!! Then I Embossed over the Stencil using the WoW Clear Embossing Ink and an Ink Dauber!! I removed the Stencil and applied the WoW Embossing Green Glitz, Lime Ricky and Pistachio Glitters and Heat Set them for this STUNNING Design!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the Newton's Christmas Kittens Stamp Set!! I backed it with a Black Cardstock Circle and then adhered it the Tag using some Foam Tape!! 

A Scrap Ribbon Bow was added to finish off the Tag and I adhered the Tag and Bow onto a FUN Plaid Gift Bag!! 

For my next two Tags I wanted to show how you can get a more Dimensional Stenciled Design when using the Therm O Web and Gina K. and Rina K. Designs Glitz Glitter Gels!! The holidays just aren't the same without LOTS of Sparkle in my book!! Here's how I've created them!! 

I Started by spraying the back side of my Stencil with some Therm O Web Pixie Spray!! Then placed it over the Text Patterned Paper Tags I Die Cut using the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set!! Then I applied the Grass Green Gina K. Designs Glitz Glitter Gel over the Stencil using the Stencil Pal and set it aside to Dry!! I repeated the same process on the other Tag only this time using the Rina K. Designs Screamin Green Glitz Glitter Gel and set it aside to Dry!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiments onto the Stitched Circles using a sentiment from the Christmas Haul Stamp Set!! SQUEAL!! I just LOVE this Sentiment for Gift Tags!! 

I adhered the Sentiment onto the Gift Tag using some Foam Tape and adhered a Scrap Ribbon Bow to finish it off!! 

Then I adhered it to a FUN Plaid Gift Bag and I LOVE the way that it turned out!! 

If Dimension and Sparkle are your Jam, this Tag Design is a MUST create for the Holidays!! 

Here's the Close up look at the Tag I Stenciled using the Rina K. Designs Screamin Green Glitz Glitter Gel!! 

I adhered the Sentiment using the same sentiment from the Christmas Haul Stamp Set onto the Gift Tag using some Foam Tape and adhered a Scrap Ribbon Bow to finish it off!! 

Then I adhered it to a FUN Black and White Gingham Gift Bag and I LOVE the way that it turned out!!
So there you have it, three different Ideas on ways to add some Sparkle to your Stenciled Gift Tags this Holiday Season!! 

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

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps & Crafting of Hue Sponsorship Blog Hop & SALE!!

Pin It

HELLO!!

I'm here with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps for the Crafting of Hue Sponsorship and SALE!! 

That's right ALL Stencils for $5.00!! 

I've created 2 Cards for today to show how you can Create 2 Cards out of 1 Stenciled Image!! 

Here's what I've created for today!! 

I started by Spraying the back side of my Pawesome Stencil with some Therm O Web Pixie Spray!! Then I placed the stencil over my Cardstock and applied a thin layer of Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo using a Stencil Pal!! I removed the Stencil and let the Gel dry completely!! 

Once the Gel was completely Dry I cut a piece of Gina K Designs Fancy Foils in Radiant Red and ran it through my laminating Machine!! You can also run it through your die cutting machine!! 

Here's what it looks like after you run it through the laminating Machine!! Then SAVE that Negative piece because we'll use it to create our 2nd Card!! 

I placed the Negative Foil Piece onto a Deco Foil Toner Sheet that I cut to be the same Size as the Foil and ran it through my Laminating Machine!! Then removed the Film to reveal the Design!! SWOON!! I LOVE this part!! 

I picked a second color of Gina K Designs Fancy Foil in Sparkling Silver and cut a piece large enough to cover the Design!! Placed it down onto the Toner sheet and then ran it through my Laminating Machine!! I then added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters for some Texture!! 

Here's the Finished Cards!!

For this Card I Stamped the I'm Sorry for your loss sentiment onto the bottom half of the Card and added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters!! I fussy cut the Stenciled Foiled Toner Sheet and adhered it to the cardbase with Foam Tape!! I Stamped and Embossed the Heart Image from the Rainbow Bridge Stamp Set using Black Onyx Versa Fine Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I Fussy Cut it out and Adhered it to the center of the Foiled Heart!!

For my Second Card I added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters over the Card Panel and then I Fussy Cut the Stenciled and Foiled Heart and added it to the Card using some Foam Tape!! I Stamped and Embossed the Heart Image from the Rainbow Bridge Stamp Set using Black Onyx Versa Fine Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I Fussy Cut it out and Adhered it to the center of the Foiled Heart!!

I LOVE the way these cards turned out and I hope you feel INSPIRED!!??

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm here today to share the NEW and AMAZING Therm O Web and Rina K Designs Release!! 
You should have come from Katrina Hunts Blog!! 
I've made several Projects to showcase today and I just can't wait to share the with you!! I just KNOW you're going to LOVE it ALL as much as I do!! 
SQUEAL!! I'm SO EXCITED for you to see what I've made, so let's get to it!!

I've made a Trio of Projects!! Two Cards and a Gift Bag!! I LOVE making coordinating Cards and Bags for those Special Gifts I need to give!! I just LOVE the NEW Rina K Designs Sending Sunshine and Sweet Stuff Stamp-n-Stencil Sets!! The Images are so HAPPY and the sentiments are so versatile!! The coordinating Stencils make it EASY to add the details with whatever medium you want to use!! I've used the NEW Glitz Glitter Gels in both Gina K Designs Iridescent Color and the NEW Rina K Designs Hello Yellow!! SWOON!! If you haven't tried the Glitz Glitter Gels they're a MUST try/have!! I LOVE to use Glitter on my Projects, but these are the Glitter without and of the Mess!! 

I like creating Scenes with my Images!! The NEW Sending Sunshine Set makes it EASY!! I started by Stenciling the bottom 2/3 of the Card with some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink!! I Stamped some of the Leaves from the Set onto the Card Base and then Stamped the other Leaves from the Set and Die Cut them out using the coordinating Dies!! I Stamped and Stenciled the Hibiscus Flowers and Pineapple Images and then added everything with Gina K Designs Foam Tape!! Some Iridescent Jewels finish off the Design!!

Here's a Close up of all of the Details!! I like to Stamp and Emboss my Sentiments to help make them POP!! I used Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! I also added Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters for some texture!! 

I kept the Design Similar!! I just used the Hibiscus Flowers for the Scene and used a combination of both Stamped and Die Cut Leaves to help build the Design!! I LOVE the BOLD Colors of the Rina K Designs Electro Pop Potent Purple Ink and then I used Seedless Preserves Distress Ink for the Shading using an Ink Dauber and my MISTI Stamping Tool!! It makes a HUGE different in the dimension of the the Flowers!! 

Another look at a Close Up for all of the Details!! Again Stamping and Embossing the Sentiment and adding the Distress Paint Splatters for some Texture!! 

For the Gift Bag I used a similar Design Layout, just on a smaller scale!! I LOVE the White Wash Woodgrain Patterned Paper that I used for the Gift Bag itself using the Mama Elephant Gift Bag Die!! I think it makes if feel Summery and Beachy!!?? Makes me SO READY for Summer!! 

 

Another Close Up for all of the Details!!
