Fanny-Tastic! with The Sassy Club

Happy Sassy Sunday! I'm keeping it a bit simple this week because I CASE'd an element from a Craft Roulette card last week. I loved the strips of paper on Carissa Wiley's card so I used that as my element this week. I also have splatter, a small bag and the colors are based on the eggplant and grapes you would find in a cornucopia.

I started with coloring my images and fussy cut them out. Using a green ink to match the fanny pack to add splatter to a white panel. I added the strips that were trimmed down to 1/4" and adhered to the panel as well as stamping the sentiment in purple ink. I used a corner rounder on the panel as well as green cardstock that was cut to A2 and adhered to my card base.

After the card base and background were done, I popped up my characters with foam adhesive and added a few extra touches of Pops of Color. This card is simple, but I think so cute! I love the green of the fanny pack mixed with the blues and purple of the fandom character.

To the Moon Space Card with Pretty Pink Posh

Hi, friends! We’re going into space with Pretty Pink Posh starting with the Layered Shooting Stars Stencils - I used them with Interference Metallic Inks on black cardstock to create a shimmery, galaxy design. I also added some white paint splatter to add more of a space look. Using the Pierced Stars Die, I trimmed the stenciled background and adhered it to an A2 card base.

I stamped and colored images from the Outer Space Stamp Set and cut them out with the Coordinating Dies. I also cut different pieces from the Rocketship Shaker Dies and added my sentiment before adhering the rocketship and space images to the card base with a mixture of liquid glue and foam adhesive. I think this card is so cute and perfect for any one, any age!

Holiday Sprit Skeletons with Scrapbook.com

Holiday *Spirit* time! I just love the skeleton from the Mini Skeleton die set and I wanted to make a bunch and went with more of a pastel purple vibe for the card. I did my die cutting from the Pastel and Rainbow Glossy Paper Pads and glued the layers together to make three skeletons. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do after so I started with just stamping my sentiment onto white cardstock. I added some black pen to give it some more dimension.

I wanted more color on the card, so I die cut the sentiment coordinating die to be a mask and used Distress Spritz to add some yellow and orange to the peel. I popped up my skeletons and added a few Pops of Color in a coordinating lavender purple. I used a corner rounder on the panel and added a layer of black cardstock behind the panel. While this card was simple, I think it's cute and I really wanted the cute skeletons to shine on the card!

Birthday Wishes with Pinkfresh Studio - A Collaboration Hop!

It's my birthday! YAY! It's also my crafty friend Ciara from Ciara T Designs birthday! To celebrate, we're doing a little collaboration hop with our channels where we made each other a birthday card that using each other's favorite color. If you know Ciara, you know she loves purple! So I went all in with the purple, I attempted some mixed media which she is just pro at, and finally some beautiful florals that remind me of her cards.

You can watch my process video down below where I show my hot foiled flowers, colored them in with their coordinating stencils, created my Distressed background and adding the final touches of an embossed sentiment and gems. I cannot wait to watch Ciara's video - there's a link to her video in my video description, so head over to watch it on YouTube!

Fall Icons for Thanksgiving with Pretty Pink Posh

Hi, friends! I wanted to share a simple but cute card for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday using the Fall Icons Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies! I started with stenciling my background using the Layered Leaf Lattice Stencils with brown ink with the (A) stencil and red ink with the (B) stencil on white cardstock that measures 3.5 x 4.75”. This panel was adhered to a piece of kraft cardstock trimmed to 4 x 5.25”, then onto an A2 card base.

The six Fall Icons were stamped with my stamping platform first in a brown alcohol marker friendly ink and I colored them with alcohol markers. You can watch the YouTube video below if you want to see a close up of the coloring and the complete process of making the card. After I was done coloring, I put the paper back into the stamping platform and stamped the images again with a darker brown ink that is not alcohol marker friendly to create darker lines around the images.

I cut all of the images with the smaller circle in the Fall Icons Coordinating Die Set as well as six scalloped circles out of kraft cardstock. I layered the circles with adhesive and added foam adhesive to the back. I then added them to the card! You can step up this card by adding a sentiment or minimizing the spacing to add more icons. I hope this brings you some inspiration today and you’re excited to head into the holiday season like I am!

Greetings Earthlings Shadow Box Card with The Sassy Club

Playing along with Craft Roulette for Sassy Club Sunday! I had such a busy weekend, I'm just getting my Sassy Club project posted... I swear one day I'll be ahead of schedule again! I have to travel for work soon, so I definitely will be working on getting ahead to keep my posts on schedule. But let's get back to this shadow box card! I started with coloring my images and I fussy cut them - there are dies, but I don't have them.

Next I ink blended my sky background and used stencil paste to add my stars. I did lots of die cutting from the Book Card Die Set and Pride Rock Die to create my out of this world scene. I added some Distress Oxides and splatter to my die cuts and added some of the matching pattern paper to the sides and back of the shadow box. My sentiment is embossed with black ink and clear powder onto vellum to not hide too much of the background.

 I think it turned out really cute and is perfect for Craft Roulette this week!
