Whimsy Stamp - Snow Much Fun To Be Had

Hi All,

Today I am sharing with you a card I made for Whimsy Stamps using Penguin Snow Fun, this image was part of the November 2019 Digital Release.

I printed the image onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock using X-Press It Blending Cardstock, I then coloured them up using Copic Markers.

  

Once I had the image coloured up I found some papers to match, I decided to go with the Kaisercraft Silly Season 6.5" Paper Pad, I love all the beautiful Christmas colours and patterns.

I don't have a lot of Christmas dies in my stash so I decided to go through all my other companies to see what I could find. I ended up cutting a few things - I actually ran them all through my Sizzix Big Shot at the same time. I used Memory Box Precious Mittens (these actually didn't end up making it onto my card), I also used a few dies from La La Land Crafts - Candy Canes, Build a Christmas Tree and North Pole. I just used scraps from my bucket that I keep under my desk, no new plain card stocks were harmed in the making of this card lol.

  

Once I had all my die cuts I started layering everything up.

I decided I want to cut my image out into a circle shape, because the image was so big it was not all going to fit in my circle and the next size up would be too big and look silly, so I decided to use my Mechanical Pencil and trace the die then fussy cut any areas that would be cut off, I could then slide the die underneath this area and I got a perfect cut.

I cut a mat layer from one of the patterned paper sheets and I also cut a mat for this layer using some Silver Glitter card, now to not waste all this beautiful glitter I decided to run through Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflakes through using that same sheet, I just made sure that I did not get too close to the edge because I needed it all covered up by the patterned paper.

I now used Helmar Acid Free Adhesive to start putting all my layers together, and finally I cut a sentiment from one of the patterned paper sheets and adhered it using some Foam Tape.

I decorated the inside of the card off screen and my card was complete. You can watch my process video my clicking the You Tube Box link below.

Beebee Craft - Make my heart go boom

Good Morning all,

Today I am sharing a card I made using the new Star Sequins I was gratefully given by Beebee Craft.

I really love these little sequins they are so adorable in size and the colours are also really nice.

I used a stamp set from MFT Stamps called Cute Chemists, I stamped the little guy out onto X-Press It Blending card using Memento Tuxedo Black, I did colour him up a while ago so unfortunately I don't have the Copic Colours for you.

I used my EK Success Cutterbee scissors to fussy cut the image out, I couldn't find my matching dies but I love fussy cutting so it was no big deal.

I ran MFT Stamps Hearts Entwined die through my Sizzix Big Shot a few times - twice with red cardstock and twice using foam sheets.

I used Helmar Foam glue to adhere the foam, I used quick dry on the shaker pouch, and I used spray adhesive to adhere all the other layers.

I stamped out a sentiment from the stamp set using Ink On 3 Embossing Ink, Super fine white embossing powder from Ranger and melted it using my heat tool.

I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or contact me via facebook (all links can be found below).

Helmar - Rainbows and Unicorns

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing with you a shaker card I made using products from Helmar Adhesive.

I used a stamp set from Stamping Bella called Unicorn Sentiments, I stamped the image out using a Lawn Fawn acrylic block onto X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black.

I then coloured the image using Copic Markers, I will have those listed below.

Once I had the image coloured I began putting the card together.

I used Helmar Quick Dry and also the Acid Free to adhere all my pieces.

I started by making my rainbow, I used a whole lot of scraps from my leftovers bucket to cut all the strips then used the Quick Dry adhesive to adhere them all together, I did this on my glass media mat so I didn't make a mess.

I then added some puffy clouds to the ends of the rainbow and glued my unicorn the left side on top of one of the clouds. I also cut a sun and added that behind the rainbow on the right.

I used some clouds patterned paper from Pebbles to create my shaker laker, I ran a lawn fawn stitched circle die to cut out the centre and create my window. I didn't have any clear vellum left so i used some leftover acetate from packaging and ran that through with the same dies but the next size up and adhered that to the back of my clouds piece using the quick dry adhesive.

I added some foam tape to the back of the acetate and used star sequins from Beebee Craft for my shaker element.

I stamped out a sentiment from Studio Katia Birthday Greetings onto some vellum using Ink on 3 Blackout ink and carefully used my heat gun to make sure it was completely dry, I added some bling to the ends so I could hide some of the quick dry adhesive.

I cut a number 2 from Paper Rose Studio Jumbo Numbers using some pink card stock from my stash and added that to the sun in the top right corner..

Finally I adhered everything to a couture creations card base and my card was complete.

I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or contact me via facebook (all links can be found below).

Whimsy Stamps - Polar Fun

Hi Everyone,

Can you believe we are mid November already! Cannot believe how quick this year has gone.

I am still catching up on Christmas Cards, so many to make so little time. I must say I really enjoyed making this one for Whimsy Stamps though. This is Penguin Polar Express, from the November Digital Release, you can also purchase this stamp as a rubber stamp so I will have both of them linked up in the picture links below.

I printed the image out onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock using my Brother Laser Printer, I then coloured all the little critters up using Copic Markers which of course I will have listed below for you.

I wanted to cut the image out into a circle shape so I traced around the image using my circle die so I knew exactly where it was going to cut, the first die was going to be too small so I pulled out my Sizzix Circle dies which are a little bit larger in size and traced the one I thought fitted best. Once I worked out which bits of the image were going to be cut I carefully cut around those spots so I could slide the die underneath and not chop any off.  Once I ran the image through my Big Shot I erased all the pencil lines.

I pulled out my Kaisercraft Starry Night paper pad and used the embossed holly leaves and a leftover strip of the reindeer paper from another project and began putting my card together.

I also used a strip and a sentiment from the pop outs at the back of the paper pad.

Using American Crafts Christmas Cardstocks I cut some mat layers for my patterned papers on my Cutterpillar Pro.

I began adhering all the layers using Helmar Acid Free Liquid adhesive to a Couture Creations card base. I also cut the Christmas tree sentiment from one of the tag pages using my EK Success Scissors.
I used the leftover bits that I cut off to punch out some stars using my EK Success Star Confetti punch.

I added some details to the image using my white Uni-ball Signo gel pen, I will have a few different gel pens linked up below incase you can't find this one.

I added some Ranger Ink Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder to some of the stars using Ink On 3 Embossing Ink, I melted it using my Heat Tool.

I decorated the inside of the card to match the front of the card and I was done.

I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or contact me via facebook (all links can be found below).

Papercraft Business Papercraft Challenge - November To give as a gift

Hi Everyone, 

We have lots of new Design Team members over at Papercraft Business so we have split the team in 2, this means my new projects for them will go live mid month now. We have now entered November.. crazy! That means a new challenge over at Papercraft Business. 

This month Theme: To give as a gift (Not just a card)

Come and join in the challenge here.

I was a little stumped with this challenge, sometimes this happens even to the best of us.. I went out shopping with my Mum as we do most Tuesdays before picking up my Step Daughter from school (she finishes super early), anyway I went to one of our cheap junkie shops and came across these Kraft Treat Boxes. I thought they would be cool to play with and they fit the theme. 

Originally when I sat down and had a think about how I was going to decorate my box my plan was to use some Christmas Stamps and go with a Christmas Theme. I picked out all the products and had them on my desk ready.. something came up and I didn't get back in my craft room for a few days. When I finally came back the Christmas Theme just wasn't working for me.. I decided I wanted to do a little Halloween Treat Box.

I really wanted to use this little Witch Marci Rubber Stamp from La La Land Crafts, for anyone who does not have the rubber stamp you can also purchase it in Digital Here.
I stamped the image out onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black and my Misti Stamping Tool (with the black foam mat removed).

I coloured the image up using Copic Markers, it always amazes me the amount of markers I end up using on an image :-)

  

   

Once my image was all coloured up I used my EK Success Cutterbee Scissors to fussy cut her out. 

Now, putting aside my image it was box decorating time. 

I left the box folded down flat and used some Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Ink Pads and a Mini Blending Tool and Inked up each section of the box. I had this great idea to use washi tape to cover the top and bottom of each section to not get ink everywhere (at the time I was only going to ink the front), when I tried to take the tape off it ripped all my box, I have back up boxes but was still a little annoyed haha. I decided to work with and keep on going, so I did. 

I ran a few dies through my Sizzix Big Shot using American Crafts Black Card Stock. 
La La Land Crafts - Grass Border and Star Border, Spider Web Cover Up, Tombstones
Neat and Tangled - Booed
Memory Box - Swooping Bats (retired die set I have linked up another one)

I used American Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Adhesive to adhere all the pieces to my box. I ran the Tombstones through a second time using some white card so I was able to inlay the words. 

   

For my little (ok not so little) spider I added some google eyes, I did the same thing with one of the bats. 

  

Dont forget to head over and join is in the November Challenge here,  all you have to do is use a tag.
