HELLO!!
Who's been ENJOYING SHARK WEEK!!?? We've been LOVING it!! So I thought what better way to CELEBRATE than by making a Card with Newton's Nook Designs featuring their AWESOME Shark Bites Stamp Set  and the coordinating Shark Bites Die Set!!
Here's a look at the Layered Scene Card I Created!!  =)

 

First, I wanted to Create a Layered Scene Card!! If you KNOW me you KNOW I LOVE LOVE LOVE to Create Layered Scene Cards and I had such a FUN Time making this one!! I Started by Stamping and Embossing my Shark Image onto some Distress Watercolor Paper!! Then I used a New NND Sea Borders Die Set to Create the Ocean Background!! I wanted to have an Underwater Scene so I used Distress Inks to Create my Ocean Background!! I Stamped the School of Fish Image using Chipped Sapphire and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink stamped ontop of one another then I covered them with Clearsnaps Clear Embossing Powder!! I used Distress Oxide Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain to create the Sandy Ocean floor Stamping some of the details in Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink!! I used the NND Tranquil Tides Stamp Set and the Coordinating NND Tranquil Tides Dies Set to Stamp and Emboss SEVERAL of the Images to Create my Under Water Scene!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how well these Stamp Sets work together!! =) I Splattered some Water onto my Inked Background for some Texture and added some Tonic Studios Aqua Sparkle Pen Spaltters to make the Ocean Shimmer!! SQUEAL!! I just LOVE how it turned out and hope it INSPIRES you to create a Card for Shark Week!!

I'm also playing along with the

HELLO & HAPPY FRIDAY!!
Who's READY for SHARK WEEK!!?? Well we've been SHARING ALL WEEK with Newton's Nook Designs featuring their AWESOME Shark Bites Stamp Set  and the NEW coordinating Shark Bites Die Set on the NND blog with FUN Projects Each Day!! Here's a look at the AMAZING Sets!!  =)

I couldn't just Create One Card so I have a Couple to share today!! First, I wanted to Create an Interactive Card!! If you KNOW me you KNOW I LOVE LOVE LOVE to Create Interactive Cards and I had such a FUN Time making this one!! I Started by Stamping and Embossing my Shark Image onto some Distress Watercolor Paper!! Then I used a Lil' Inker Designs Die Set to Create the Ocean Background!! I wanted to have an Underwater Scene so I used Distress Inks to Create my Ocean Background making the bottom Darker and  Lighter towards the Top!! I Stamped the School of Fish Image using the same Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink and then I used the NND Tranquil Tides Stamp Set and the Coordinating NND Tranquil Tides Dies Set to Stamp and Emboss SEVERAL of the Images to Create my Under Water Scene!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how well these Stamp Sets work together!! =) I Splattered some Water onto my Inked Background for some Texture and then I took the Interactive Slider Die to make my Slider Channel!! SQUEAL!! I just LOVE how the Shark can Swim Up and Down and Spin ALL Around in the Under Water Scene I've Created for Him!!  =)

 For my Second Card I wanted to use the FUN "Hope Your Day Doesn't BITE" Sentiment from the Shark Bites Stamp Set along with the Jumping Shark Image and then I Die Cut it using the Coordinating Shark Bites Die Set!! It ALWAYS makes me SMILE!! So I KNEW I needed to Create a Scene to go along with it!! I decided to Stamp the SWEET Winston Image from the NND Beach Party Stamp Set, along with the Surf Board and the Sea Shell Image!! I used the Lawn Fawn Simple Stitched Hill Side Boarders Die Set for my Beach and then used the Mama Elephant Stitched Waves Die Set for my Waves!! I used Distress Inks applied to Distress Watercolor Paper to Create my Background and then added some Water Splatters for Texture!! I added some Shadowing and then Stamped the School of Fish Image using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to make them look they are underneath the Water!! Some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker was added to SEVERAL of the Images and my Ocean Waves to added some Sparkle!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out!! =)

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by I HOPE I've INSPIRED you today!!??  =)

TWO FUN Interactive Cards with Mint Owl Studio!! =)

Pin It

HELLO!!
I'm stopping by today to share a Couple REALLY FUN Interactive Cards that I've made using some NEW Stamps from Mint Owl Studio!! I LOVE to make Interactive Cards and when I saw the "A Pirates Life" Stamp Set and the "Under Construction" Stamp Set I just COULDN'T WAIT to create with them!! Even my Boys have been LOVING these New Sets!! So I started by Stamping and Embossing the Images onto Distress Water Color Paper and then I used my Distress Inks to Water Color them in!! I Fussy Cut them out leaving a Small White Border!! I JUST LOVE the way they turned out and hope you do too!!??
     
For the "Happy Birthday Matey" Card I thought it would be FUN to have the Ship Sailing across the Card!! I wanted to have a Shore Line and then the Ship could Dock or Sail!! SQUEAL!! I'm SO HAPPY with how it turned out!! I used some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker to make the Sails, the Pirate Flag and Pirate's Hat, Gem, Treasure, the X on the Map and the Coconuts!! I LOVE the touch it adds!! I used a Pretty Pink Posh Border Die to Create my Waves and then a Lawn Fawn Slider Die to create the opening for my Slider!! I also used a Lawn Fawn Stitched Border Die for the Shore Line!! I Stamped the Sand Image and several of the Sand Specks using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and then I used a Sponge Daubber to Ink up the Shore using Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink!! For the Sea I used Peacock Feathers and I LOVE the way it looks against the Images!! For the Sky I used Tumbled Glass and Sketchbook and then I took some Water and Splattered it to add in some texture!! For the Shore I wanted even more texture so I Splattered some Black and Gold Acrylic Paint Spots and I really like how it makes it feel like a REAL Beach!!=)
I wanted my Pirate Girl to be holding the Gem so I took an Exacto Knife and cut along her hands and then slipped the Gem in them with a small piece of Foam Tape so it looks Dimensional!! =)
                           

 

 

For the "Congratulations" Card I wanted it to look like the Excavator was Digging and then Loading the Dump Truck and the Dump Truck could Drive off!! I used a Couple Pretty Pink Posh Border Dies to create the "Dig Site"!! I think its PERFECT, Don't You!!?? Then I used a Small Slider Die from MFT too create both of the Slider Openings!! I Stamped and Embossed onto Distress Watercolor Paper and used Distress Inks to Water Color the Images!! I used my NEW Mini Misti Stamping Tool (that I was LUCKY enough to WIN during) Misti Mania!! There's still time to ENTER to WIN one so GO NOW and ENTER!! =)
I was able to Double Stamp and Emboss my Sentiment and Embossed it with both Black and White Embossing Powder!! I used Distress Inks to Create my Backgrounds and then added Water Splatters and some Black, White and Gold Acrylic Paints to add even more texture!! I LOVE the way it adds to the whole Card!!

 

 

Here's a Short Video showing how AWESOME they are in ACTION!! =)

So what do you think!!?? Aren't these New Stamp Set FUN!! They make Masculine and Interactive Cards SO EASY and FUN to CREATE!! I HOPE I've INSPIRED you today!!??   =)
