'Hello' card - Creating Your Own Pattern

Hello friends!  Thanks for stopping by the Blog today.

I am sharing another project I created for Brutus Monroe using

the Sprinkled with Love 6x6 Paper Pad. 

I have a sketchbook I carry around with me everywhere.

Lately, I have been trying out some drawing apps on my iPad Pro

and have gotten to like them a lot.  I miss paper too much to

use all digital, but this is a little peek at my digital "journal"

I have been using.

The card came out looking a lot like the sketch and that forethought

always makes the design execution more fun and easier for me!

I used a small diamond die to die cut out different patterns from the

paper pad as well as a couple pieces of paper I painted with

yellow Aqua Pigment and Velveteen Glaze in Teal Taffy.

I added foam adhesive dots under the teal pieces for some dimension

and interest and cut out the sentiment from the January Die of the Month!

Thanks again for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

I can be anything! - Chameleon Card + Process VIDEO

Hello friends!

I am excited to share this fast, fun card with you today as well as the process video I created.  It is the first video I have edited in a WHILE, so be patient with me!

I adore his stamp set and could not wait to wait to use it.  While I do use mostly Brutus Monroe products, it's not a card for the Inspiration Team exclusively

I created two versions of the same card; one colored "inside the lines," and the other more simple dollops of color blended together.

Click HERE or below to watch my process video!

 

This is a simple 3x4 stamp and a single sentiment that is part of the set.  There is also the coordinating die, although I didn't use it, choosing to stamp directly onto Tim Holtz Watercolor Cardstock instead.

I stamped the image twice using Brutus Monroe detail ink in Raven and then painted two different styles on each card. I added a sentiment I heat embossed and then mounted the painted cards to a card base.

I added an extra layer of textured turquoise paper on the card base to add a color frame and pop from the white.  Simple, quick, and love that message!

And that's it! So many possibilities!

Cheers Shaker Card & Video

I made a fairly quick shaker card for a 60th birthday using the My Favorite Things

‘Uncorked’ stamp set and the Wine Glass Shaker and Frame set. 

The shaker die & frame set makes things so much easier and faster, and was perfect for this recipient.

You can click on the link below or HERE to go directly to my YouTube channel.

I used the Pearlescent cardstock in ‘Blush’ from Craft Perfect (Tonic Studios) to cut out the wine glass frame.  To add some interest and a focal point for the wine glasses, I used a left over piece of gold glitter that I had used to cut circles from.

I mounted the gold glitter circle to a piece of white cardstock, a layer of foam and then onto a piece of polka-dot patterned paper from Avery Elle.  Before adhering the glass outline frames onto the card, I used a liquid glue to adhere the shaker bubble piece to the back of the frame.  Then I placed a small pile of sequins and confetti in golds and purples where I planned for the glasses to be on the card.

To finish up the card I heat embossed one of the sentiments from the MFT set onto vellum and added several of the gold oval gems from Nuvo around the card.  I loved the way it turned out; bright and sparkly and festive!  I will be using this set again soon for some New Year’s cards.

Thanks and cheers to you for stopping by the Blog today.

SENDING YOU hugs - Card & Video

Hello!  It has been a hot minute, or a few months since my last Blog Post!

We moved put our house on the market, sold it, bought a new house and moved all in 4 weeks!  And started renovating the new house right when we moved in and started kids in new schools...whew!

It has been a crazy few months and I am finally getting to a place where I can unpack and start creating cards and scrapbook again.

I have missed it so much!  So, I was feeling the Fall colors and love and created

this card below using this gorgeous red rubber background stamp from Neat & Tangled.

You can click on the video below or HERE to go to my YouTube Channel directly.

I heat embossed that large background in white so I could use it as a resist for blending Distress Oxide inks for my sunset.

I think it would be fun to emboss it in gold as well.

I used some images from Lawn Fawn that I had previously colored and added a die cut sentiment,

a small stamped sentiment and some Nuvo Crystal drops.

A simple card and video to get me back into the swing of things!

I am going to be filming my new space and the organizing I will be doing too.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Supplies Used:

Cards from Creativation 2019 - Tonic Studios

Even though it is June, I still wanted to share the cards I created for the Tonic Studios booth at Creativation 2019 this past January.  All of these cards were created using the ‘Adorables’ Stamp & Die Sets and colored with Nuvo alcohol markers, as well as other Tonic products.

This first card I used different sizes of the Tonic Basic circle dies to cut out circles for these colored images from the ‘Ellie Goes Nuts’ set.  I used some of the Hybrid Inks to blend color underneath the circles.  I heat embossed the sentiment that is parts of the stamp set.  I covered the balloon in Nuvo Crystal Drops to give it the shine.

The next card, I used one of the Patterned Panel Dies to cut a panel out of white cardstock.  I adhered it to another piece of A2 sized cardstock and misted them both using Nuvo Mist in Turkish Rose.  I cut out a scalloped circle from the misted piece and added foam tape to the back.

I used Distress Oxide Inks to blend the area behind the scalloped opening and added this skunk and other elements from the ‘Scent Wiff Love’ set.  I love the speech bubble with its hearts and free form shape. 

For the final card, I used the Adorables ‘Kirby & Lulu’s Wash Day’ stamp set to create this window border shaker card.  I used a couple different stitched border frame dies for both the window and outside frame.  I used a combination of acetate & vellum behind the frame as a background for my shaker elements and the sentiment.

I used dimensional foam tape to pop up the center shaker portion and add some patterned paper between the two frames.  I used several types of Nuvo confetti and glitter for the shaker bits.  I adhered all my colored images from the stamp set and from a couple other new Tonic ones to the outside the acetate.  I heat embossed the sentiment in black onto vellum and added Some detail with a white gel pen.

That’s it!  It took a while to post these, but wanted to spread them out between several weeks and other projects!  There are so many recent, fun examples of projects using the Adorables sets, check them out! 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great week!

Everyday Cards - Tonic Studios Craft Kit #21

Today, I am sharing two cards I created using the Tonic Studios Craft Kit #21.

You an click on the video below for the process for making these cards or HERE to go directly to my YouTube Channel.

Tonic Studios provided me with some of the products used but the ideas are solely my own.  Some affiliate links are included in supply list at no cost to you!

This first card was made using the intricate Rose die that is part of the kit and cutting it twice out of the same piece of white Pearlescent cardstock, rotating the die 180 degrees between cuts to create this pattern.

The die cut piece is overlaying a piece of plain cardstock that was sponged with several thin layers of Embellishment Mousse.  Those two pieces were matted onto a piece of Navy Classic Cardstock from the kit and adhered to a white card base.  Using the same navy cardstock, I cut the sentiment out three times using another die from the kit, stacked for added dimension.  I finished of the card by adding Aqua Shimmer to the sentiment as well as 3 different types of Nuvo Drops, including the newly released Stone Drops!

For the second card, I used the stencil that came in the kit and added a continuous pattern of these hearts and dots onto the same Navy cardstock.  I matted it with one of the Specialty paper from the kit in the gorgeous Gold.

 I used that same gold cardstock to cut out the other sentiment from the kit as well as the border in vellum.  After adhering it to the front of my card base, I finished it off with more Stone Drops and Nuvo Drops in gold.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you get to check out the video.  These were pretty simple and the kind of everyday cards I always need in my stash!

Have a great day!
