Scrapbook.com + WOW! Parade - Love You Shaker Card

Wednesday, November 29, 2023

Today I am participating in a Parade in the Scrapbook.com Project Gallery! For this parade, creators are making projects with WOW! Embossing Powder and I'm excited to share with you what I made. I was gifted the Twinkly Fizz Trio collection, Cotton Candy Glitter, Mixed Media Embossing Brush and the Polished Silver Super Fine that I used on my card today.

I started with picking Scrapbook.com Exclusives that I thought would be fun to use along with these products and I just loved the soft, pastel colors so I went with a Valentine's Day themed card. I die cut the LOVE die three times in white cardstock and glued them all together. Using the Mixed Media Embossing Brush, I embossed the three Twinkly Fizz colors, blending two colors together when I transitioned into a new color.

To make the shaker panel, I used the shadow die for the LOVE on a panel of white cardstock cut to 4x5.25". I also stenciled on hearts with pink ink, added green ink onto the edges of the panel and splattered on green ink as well. I adhered acetate on the back and foam adhesive around the panel opening and on the edges of the card.

I  added the glitter to the center of a piece of A2 purple smooth cardstock and closed up the shaker panel by adding my LOVE panel. This was adhered to an A2 card base and I adhered my embossed LOVE sentiment on top off the acetate. Finally I die cut YOU out of white cardstock and embossed the Polished Silver to the die cut. This was glued to the card front to finish off the card!

Fa La La Shaker Card with This Calls for Confetti

Tuesday, November 28, 2023

Guess which song I have stuck in my head after making this card? I am using products from This Calls For Confetti for my Craft Roulette project this week! The project was to create a that included a drop down and I made a shaker card as my shiny confetti inside of the shaker will be dropping down when you shake up the card. 

I started with cutting my different pieces of paper choosing colors inspired by veggies you would find on the supper table - my green cardstock to A2, holly patterned paper to 4x5.25", yellow cardstock to 3.25x5.25" and trimmed my sentiments to around the words (for the red words) and 3.25" (for the green words).

Using yellow ink and a blending brush, I added ink around the four sides of the yellow cardstock and used the TCFC FA LA LA die set to cut out my sentiment. I adhered this to a piece of acetate that was the same size and even added in the yellow extras from the inside of all the A's. I added foam adhesive around the four sides of the yellow cardstock, sprinkled in my confetti and added vellum to be the back side of the shaker.

Next I adhered my holly patterned paper to the center of the green cardstock which is adhered to my A2 card base, then adhered the shaker panel to the center of the card. Finally, I added my sentiment strips to the card as well as some glitter Pops of Colors to some of the holly berries in the background. I really like how this card shows the Christmas season and it's fun to shake!

Christmas Dinos with Pretty Pink Posh

Monday, November 27, 2023

I am so excited to be sharing a card with this super cute Christmas set, Christmas Dinosaurs Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies. The dinos getting ready for Christmas are just the cutest and I love that you can mix them with previously released dinosaur products! I started my background panel (3.25 x 4.5”) with the Dino Dig Stencil with different color Distress Inks. I used Tea Dye and Vintage Photo for the ground and rocks; and I used Chipped Sapphire, Villainous Potion and Black Soot for the night sky.

For the stars, I used Shooting Star Lunar Paste and set it aside to dry. Next I stamped my images from the Christmas Dinosaurs Stamp Set with alcohol marker friendly black ink and colored them in with Ohuhu Art Honolulu Markers. When I was done coloring, I used the Christmas Dinosaurs Coordinating Dies to cut them out.

I also cut a yellow patterned paper panel to A2 (4.25 x 5.5”) and the largest Eyelet Rectangle out of sparkly white cardstock. Once my background was dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Dinosaurs Stamp Set and embossed it with white detailed embossing powder. I adhered my patterned paper panel to my A2 card base, then the Eyelet Rectangle layer and finally I popped up my stenciled panel with foam adhesive. 

My images are added with foam adhesive around the card and even added some sparkly clear embellishment to the Christmas lights on the palm tree and Stegosaurus. I hope you enjoyed this holiday card with the Christmas Dinosaurs Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies; you’re absolutely going to love this stamp set. Making Christmas projects is so much fun with these cute critters!

Waffle Flower Shader 2+ Brushes & a Christmas Card!

Saturday, November 25, 2023

My collection of Waffle Flower Crafts tools is slowly growing. When Waffle Flower reached out about trying out their new Shader 2+ brushes, I was really excited! I love adding in details with stencils and I thought these would be excellent for adding additional shading when stenciling. I decided to get some Shader 1 Brushes during their moving sale so I could try two different sizes with a stencil that was also gifted to me.

Using the two types of brushes, I stenciled color with the Waffle Flower Crafts Multiple Presents Die-N-Stencil Set. I turned them into a Christmas card as it's the 25th of the month today and wanted to bring some holiday inspiration to you today. I hope you like my review of the brushes and let me know if you're interested in trying them yourself! What color combo would you make with the stencil and die set?

Adventures in Space and Time - New Release from Kindred Stamps!

Friday, November 24, 2023

It's a new release day from Kindred Stamps! I love my regenerating time traveler and I am so excited that Kindred Stamps has released another set with more sentiments and companions - as well as the latest time traveler himself! I used a few of the new characters in my cards today, but make sure to go look at all of the new release projects because there are more than the three I'm showing on my cards!

To make my galaxy card, I made a galaxy background with metallic watercolors and added Distress Ink in Black Soot. After adding splatter, I set it aside to dry. I used my card basics die for all three cards today to die cut out my backgrounds. I stamped my sentiment in white embossing powder and added it to a blue A2 piece of patterned paper. I then added my stamped and colored images to the card as well as a few Pops of Color.

My second card is more of a Valentine's Theme and I stenciled on two hearts (get it?!) to pink cardstock and added it to an A2 piece of dark pink cardstock. My sentiment was stamped on the same dark pink cardstock and cut with a sentiment strip die. I popped up my sentiment and two characters to the center of the card so they are inside the hearts.

My final card is a light up card! I stamped a bunch of exterminators on yellow cardstock and distressed the edges with a brown ink. I used a small circle die to cut out three circles that lined up with three of the stamped images. I added vellum behind the circles and colored the back side of the vellum with a yellow alcohol marker. I added an EZ Light behind the panel so that the three lights show up in those same circles.

I added a strip of brown cardstock across the card and embossed my sentiment in white as well as "PUSH" in clear so that it lines up with the push button of the EZ Light. My two stamped and colored characters were popped up onto the panel and I used my World's Best Foam Tape to add the panel to my card base. I hope these cards brought you some inspiration and you have fun shopping today!

Instant Friends Mini Slimline Card with Trinity Stamps

I needed a quick card to say thank you to a friend! I knew she would like something food related and included a cute pun. So I grabbed my So RAMENtic set from Trinity Stamps! It's perfect and I'm so excited I'm finally using this set. I started with stamping my image and sentiment and colored my image in with alcohol markers. I also embossed the steam in a grey ink on vellum so it would like more like steam.

After cutting them out with their coordinating dies, I die cut a mini slimline rectangle out of Kraft paper and added some brown ink as well as gold metallic watercolor splatter. I adhered this background to my card base (3.25x6.25" when scored and folded), popped up my images and sentiment with foam adhesive, and added some rhinestones for some extra shine and to add more interest to the card. I hope you like my quick video down below and that you're inspired today!

For You Birthday Card with November 2023 Spellbinders Clubs

Thursday, November 23, 2023

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate today! I am so grateful for this community and for all of you who subscribe, follow and like my projects. Today I have a video combining a few of the Spellbinders Club Kits that I have for November 2023. I am on the influencer team for the Clear Stamp & Die and BetterPress of the Month clubs, but I am a loyal subscriber to the Glimmer Hot Foil and Embossing Folder Clubs!

I wanted to create a card using the kits together so I have combined the Clear Stamp & Die, Embossing Folder, and Glimmer Hot Foil Clubs. You can follow along in the video today and I'd love to know what you think of the November kits. What is your favorite product this month? I think the embossing folder is my favorite! I just love the floral details and how it pops off the cardstock, even though it's the 2D folder.

Wishing you a wonderful day and you can find all of the Clubs for November on the Spellbinders site!
