But first, let’s dive into the inspiration!! I Started with a White Cardstock Card Panel and used my Non-Static Tool to prep the Panel!! Then I placed the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Snowflake Stencil Set over the Card Panel and Inked with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide then I applied the NEW Primary Bluetiful Ultra High Embossing Powder!! I heat Set the Images and SWOON!! I LOVE the Glossy Shine and Dimension that this Ultra High Powder provides!! Then I placed the Second Stencil and Inked with some Milled Lavender Distress Oxide Ink!! Then I applied the NEW Pastel Pearl Mist Ultra High Embossing Powder!! SQUEAL!! Even on these more Detailed Snowflakes this Powder Embosses BEAUTIFULLY!! I LOVE the results and the BEAUTIFUL Shine!! I placed the Third Stencil and then Inked with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink and Applied the NEW Pastel Rosy Glow Ultra High Embossing Powder!! I LOVE the combination of these three NEW Powders together and especially for a Wintery Snowflake Scene!! Here's a Close-up look at the Panel!! I wanted to add even more WOW to the Snowflakes, so I used the same Inks and Inked over the Snowflakes to help make the GLOW!! I hope you can see all of the AMAZING SHINE and TEXURE!!?? It makes me Heart SO HAPPY!!
Next I created the Sentiment Focal!! I Started by Die Cutting the Pretty Pink Posh Eyelet Circles Dies from some White Cardstock!! Then I Inked around the Eyelet Edge with some Milled Lavender Distress Oxide Ink!! Then I Inked the Center of the Circle with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink!! Next I Stamped the "Hugs & Kisses" Sentiment using some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink and the NEW Pastel Rosy Glow Ultra High Embossing Powder!! I Die Cut the Winter Script Die from some White Cardstock, layering 4 Die Cuts together to create a thick Sentiment!! I Inked the Sentiment with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink and then applied the NEW Primary Bluetiful Ultra High Embossing Powder!! This really makes the Die Cut Sentiment POP!!
I adhered the Sentiment Focal to the Card Panel using Foam Tape for Dimension!!

 Next I Die Cut some Snowflakes from Vellum and adhered them to the Card Panel in a Triangle around the Sentiment Focal Sentiment making sure to tuck some the Snowflakes under the Focal to tie everything together!! 

I added some Trinity Stamps Something New Baubles to the center of ALL of the Snowflakes including the Vellum Snowflakes!! I LOVE the Iridescent Finish in these Baubles as it really coordinates with the Colors of the WoW! Embossing Ultra High Embossing Powders I've used!! SWOON!! I LOVE ALL of the AMAZING Details!! Even on the Fine Lined Sentiment the Detail is AMAZING!! So BEAUTIFUL Right!!??

Lovely, Amazing You Coffee Card w/ Newton's Nook Designs!!

Pin It

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!!  

I'm joining in the FUN Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop today sharing a Card I've made using Products from Newton's Nook!! SQUEAL!! I'm SO IN LOVE with the way it turned out!! I don't know about you, but I honestly have DREAMS about my Stamps!! 😉

This Card Design was one of those Dreams!!

I Started by stamping and embossing the Images!! I Stamped in Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and used WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder to Emboss them!! Then I colored with Copic Markers (N0, N2 & N4  YG00, YG11 & YG17)!! 

I Stamped the Little Lilies Stamp Set Image three times and die cutting it out with the coordinating Little Lilies Die Set. I knew I wanted to create a Wreath so I Die Cut a Circle Die Cut and arranged the three Little Lilies die cuts around the circle!! Then I  Stamped and Embossed several of the Single Lily Bloom Images from the same Little Lilies Stamp Set and some of the Blooms, Leaves and Sprigs from the Lovely Blooms Stamp Set.  I colored everything with Copic Markers (R00, R11 & R22  Y00, Y11 & YR23  G00, G05 & G19) and added some Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen and some Pretty Pink Posh Jewels to the center of the Blooms!! I arranged the Images to round out my Wreath Design!! Doesn't it look so beautiful!? 

I KNEW I wanted to tuck a Coffee Mug into the center of the Wreath so I Stamped and Embossed the Newton's Mug Image!! Again Coloring with Copic Markers 

(C3, C1 & C00   E40, E42, E43 & E47) Then I Die Cut the Image out using the coordinating Newton's Mug Die Set!! I Added some of the Flowers to the Coffee Mug to add even more BEAUTY to the Design!! I LOVE being able to use my Images in unexpected ways and to be able to combine them with some of my other FAVORITE Sets!!

 For my card base I used the Bubbly Stencil to create a soft background of bubbles with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and added some  Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters and Nuvo drops in Bubblegum Blush and Strawberry Coulis too!! I finished off the card by Stamping and Embossing the "Lovely, Amazing, You" sentiment from the Happy Little Thoughts Stamp Set!! I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out and I KNOW its going to bring a SMILE to the recipients Face!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today!! I hope I've INSPIRED you on some ways to combine your Images to create a STUNNING Scene and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps November Release 2018 ~ Dashing Stamp Set & Snow Fri-Dies!!

Pin It
 

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 
I'm here today with Day 2 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps November Release 2018!!
Today we're showcasing the NEW Dashing Stamp Set & coordinating Snow Fri-Dies!! 

I've created this BEAUTIFUL 3-D Snowflake Card for today!! I started with this Red Snowflake Patterned Paper by Pebbles Inc. Then I added some Picket Fence Distress Paint Splatters!! I Die Cut several of the Snowflakes from the Flurry Fri-Die Set and the Funky Flakes Fri-Dies Set!! I Die Cut them from Vellum, Gold Pearl Glitter Cardstock that I made using some WoW Gold Pearl Glitter Embossing Powder and some Therm O Web Toner Sheets that I foiled with Red Deco Foil!! For the Center of the Snowflakes I Stamped and Embossed the Snowflake Images from the NEW Dashing Stamp Set with some WoW Gold Pearl Glitter Embossing Powder and then Die Cut them out using 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch Circle Dies!! I finished them off using some Pretty Pink Posh Gold Jewels!! For the Sentiment I Stamped and Embossed the "Let It" using Versa Mark Ink and Clear Embossing Powder!! I wanted it to be subtle, but thought the Ice look was a PERFECT compliment to the Snowflakes!! I Die Cut the "Snow" Sentiment from the Cardbase and then Die Cut 4 layers of Cardstock and layered the all together, creating a Raised Inlaid Design!! I Coated the top layer with Versa Mark and Clear Embossing Powder to make it appear like Ice as well and I LOVE the way it turned out!! A few Snowflake Sequins finish off the Design!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you'll come back tomorrow for Day 3 of the Release!!

Thankful Newton's Pumpkin Patch Card w/ Newton's Nook Designs!!

Pin It

HELLO Crafty Friends and HAPPY Friday!! 

I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today sharing a gorgeous Fall card!! I just LOVE Fall!! I think its my FAVORITE Season followed by Spring!! Fall Colors are some of my MOST LOVED too!! 

I Started by using the NEW Newton's Pumpkin Patch Stamp Set, stamping the big image of kitties in the background and embossing them with black embossing powder onto some Patterned Paper!! I LOVE to do this with BIG Images like this as I feel it makes it easier to not feel like you have to Color the Image!!  So I left the kitties uncolored but added some Black Soot Distress Paint splatters and added little POPS of color with Iridescent Orange and Purple Metallic and Sparkling Clear Star Sequins. I added some Tonic Studios Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to the centers of the Sequins to add an extra bit of interest and dimension!! I then added the "thankful" sentiment from NEW Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set, stamped onto a banner from our Frames & Flags Stamp Set. 

I then inked the Banner with some Rusty Hinge and Carved Pumpkin Distress Inks to add a bit of orange behind the sentiment to help it POP against the Image!!  I mounted the whole panel onto a scalloped background panel that was cut out using the Frames & Flags Die Set from some Gina K Designs Kraft Cardstock. I LOVE the way it turned out and think its an EASY Design to make multiples of to STOCK your stash with some Thank You Cards, but also still packs a PUNCH!! 

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