Play Date

This first card was created using a a CK card blank for the base. We used some fancy die cuts, rub ons and a butterfly sticker. Then we used the new Nuvo by Tonic Studios Crystal Drops to decorate the card.

We are in love with these!!!

Card designed by Deb Segler. Still using the Nuvos.

Another design by Deb Segler. I don't know the stamp set used. Only that it is Stampin' Up!

Yet another design by Deb Segler. More Stampin' Up! creations.

Today I just wanted to create something fun. However, I didn't realize how time consuming it was going to be. Believe me when I say this could easily be a 3 hour project.

I started with the Double Door Template from Lynn Pratt. 

The fireplace is a digi from DoverPublications.

DSP from Theresa Collins - Noel paper pack.

The image is colored with Spectrum Noir and Copics.

I sort of DARED myself with this one. I saw something similar on Pinterest. Only the sample was much lighter in color. More of a misty winter day. Mine is more fall like in feel. I used Tsukineko Versafine inks, Post-It notes, and stamps from SU!, Deadbeat Designs, and Stampabilities to create my scene.

Hope you enjoy looking and are inspired to give it a try. If you have any questions feel free to post them in the comments. As I have comment monitoring I can answer quite quickly.

Just playing around with my Water Droplets stamp from Designs by Ryn and my shimmer mist from Stampin' Up! and Shimmer Mist from Tattered Angels.

1. Using Tim Holtz distress ink pads I inked up my acrylic block. Worn Lipstick, Broken China, Faded Jeans, and Dusty Concord.
2. Spritz various mists (very wet). Not enough, redo. SU! Marina Mist, TA Viva Pink
3. Stamp the droplets onto the dried cs with TH Black Soot distress ink.
4. Added highlights with White Signo Gel Pen.
5. Wooden turtle from Pink Paislee. Gesso then, Donna Salazar Designs Mix'd Media inks: Denim Jean and Peridot.
6. Sponge Denim Jean ink all around the perimeter.
7. Same inks as #5 on the fern.
8. SU! pearls and flowers.
9. Adhere stamped image, pearls, turtle, flowers and fern.

I have to admit, I've had this stamp for a while now. I just hadn't come across a background that I wanted to stamp it on. Alas, you go to the old drawing board and come up with your own. Voila!

All done!

JFF Denim Woodgrain

It's a birthday card and although there are some stamped flowers on the denim woodgrain I think it works as a birthday card for a guy or a gal.

I first drug Adirondack Earthtones STONEWASHED ink pad over Craft cs. I used my heat gun and dried the ink. Then I drug Whisper White ink pad over the Stonewashed. Dried it with the heat gun. Then I inked up my WoodGrain EF with Crumb Cake and placed my cs inside and ran it through my Big Shot. Then I stamped SU Quin-Essential Flower randomly all over the cs. Added a piece of Pumpkin Pie grosgrain ribbon. My stamped image is from SU Crazy for Cupcakes. I stamped the image in SU Soft Suede, then I colored with Copics. Voila!

Masculine Birthday Card

Hello and Welcome!
Today I have a masculine card for you and it happens to be a birthday card to boot!
For my card I chose to use the Vintage Blue Glitz paper pack. I cut strips of dsp at 1 1/2" x 4" and used my corner punch on opposite corners. My stamps are from Stampin' Up! Hostess Set Wacky Wishes #126412.  
What I really like about this set is you can start with "wishing you a" and you can choose from Valentines, Birthday, Easter, Halloween and Christmas and then there's a bonus stamp for Thank You! That's right 7 stamps in this set! Gotta love volume. Heehee.

The brad is something I found in my stash. But I love the little jewels on it. Hey! Who says guys don't like a little bling every now and again. :O)

Happy Birthday

Everything Eleanor - I really LOVE this Stampin' Up! stamp set. I've stayed in the purple/violet family using Rich Razzleberry, Condord Crush and Orchid Opulence. Orange and Yellow pearl paints from Ranger. For my sentiment; I stamped the background border in Concord Crush, then without re-inking I stamped it again. Then I used Concord Crush to stamp Happy Birthday. Added to pearls, then craft cut.

Through the Window

Through the window.

Last week I was snurfing - snooping while surfing, when I came across a tutorial on how to double emboss and make it look like porcelain. Well, now I can not remember the site I found it on. But I think she may be on SplitCoastStampers. Anyhoo, I changed the embossing folders and the the flowers to make my card have a winter/holiday feel. I've used embossing folders and inked up the negative spaces with River Rock ink and ran them through The Big Shot. Love this effect!
My flowers were punched from Spring Blossoms punch (discontinued). Branches are punched with Build a Bird punch. The candle is part of the Word Window Punch and the flame is a little piece of dsp punched from the Build a Cupcake Punch. My window frame was craft cut for the most part with the panes punched out by punching with the Photo Corner Punch (discontinued). I just snipped with excess from the middle with my scissors. Little yellow brads make my flower centers.

NEW TOYS

Hello my blogging friends. I hope you are enjoying your weekend. I am having a nice time today playing with my NEW TOYS! Recently, I made a purchase from the UK of Paula Walters Designs at Which Craft? One of the items I purchased was a kit of a Fabulous Die Cut and Scored Bespoke VINTAGE Step Card. In the kit are 6 Vintage Step Cards, 4 Plain Bespoke Vintage Frames, 4 Frilled aperture Bespoke Frames, 4 Plain aperture Frames, 6 Bespoke base & side edge plates, 6 x 2 Mirror mage Decorative Flourishes and Envelopes. All you have to do is stamp your images and cut and mount them.

For my creation i chose StampScapes Stamps. I stamped my images in SU Soft Suede ink. Then using my SU markers and ink pads with daubers I colored my scene. I added a little white gel pen for highlights. I distressed with edges of my frames with SU Soft Suede and a dauber. I embossed with the SU Woodgrain ef. then added some distressing with SU Soft Suede and Old Olive with a dauber.

So are you ready now???

TA DA!!!

 

 

If you've got anything good or bad to say about this I'd love to hear it! Any suggestions on how to improve it would be welcome as well.
