A Whole WATT

Howdy y'all!

Today over at the Make My Monday challenge blog. We have a NEW challenge which is to do create a Clean and Simple card.

Close to My Heart had a smaller light bulb stamp than Spellbinders. But it also had this cute sentiment. So I took the sentiment and combined it with the Spellbinders stamp. Then I brought out my alcohol markers and did a bit of coloring. Finally to finish off this piece I doodled the glow from the light bulb.

Broken Stenciled Wings

Howdy!

I hope y'all can play along with us at the Make My Monday challenge blog! The challenge for this period is to make something Using A Stencil!

For today's card I started out by bringing out my stencil. And then two ink pads, Carolina (it's the lighter blue) and Bluebird (the darker blue). I stenciled the feather with the light blue. Then placed another stencil over the top and applied the darker blue ink. This creates a wonderful effect. Next, I die cut the white cardstock and cut it down to a size smaller then the card base. After that I took a scrap of cardstock and stamped the sentiment. Then I cut the sentiment piece. Finally I popped the sentiment up with 3M foam tape.

Baby Card

Howdy!

Today over at the Make My Monday challenge blog. We have a NEW challenge it's to create something For a Baby!!! Hope y'all have a chance to play along with us!

You never know when you'll need a baby card! So that is what I created today!

This card is all about die cutting and a bit of stamping. When you are creating a baby card, it is important to use pastel colors. And as I do not know who will be receiving this card, I chose to go with a neutral palette. So yes, there is pink and blue but also green and purple. And the card base is kraft cardstock.

Stamps: TAC Trendy Greetings

Paper: CTMH White Daisy, Kraft, Lilac, Glacier, Bashful, Sweet Leaf

Ink: CTMH Nutmeg

Accessories: Park Lane Woodgrain embossing folder, QuicKutz Metro Alphabet dies, Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics B

Inspired by Artwork

Howdy Y'all!

Mary Ellen here from Creative Time With ME! In the Online Card Class Spring Card Camp 2 that I am taking we were encouraged to create a card using die cuts or stamps in an unconventional way. But I needed a bit of inspiration to do that. Which is how I found this art piece on Amazon.



This is my interpretation of the piece.

Paper: CTMH White Daisy, Black, Pewter, Juniper, Glacier, Goldrush, Canary

Accessories: Bic Mark-it Ultra Fine Point Tuxedo Black, Spellbinders Nested Pennants, QuicKutz Nesting Circles

I have created a video to share with you on how I created this card!

Howdy!

Today over at the Cardz4Guys challenge blog. We have a NEW challenge which is to use this sketch.

For this card, I had to make my own silver foil paper. I have a YouTube video to share with you on how I created this card. Specifically the silver foil paper and the embossing technique. 

I also cut out the sprocket which is on the bottom right of the image. This piece was die cut out of white cardstock. I then took the Pearlescent dark grey color and a paint brush to color this piece. For the motorcycle stamp that I used. It is a larger stamp than you see here. But I die cut it down to this size. I stamped the motorcycle with Distress Oxide. And then activated its properties with a water bottle. As for the sentiment I stamped that onto white cardstock and then cut it down to where it looks more like a label. 

Stamps: Stampendous Motorcycle Elements, CTMH Wordfetti

Paper: CTMH White Daisy, Black, aluminum foil

Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Black Soot, VersaMark Dazzle Frost, StazOn Jet Black

Accessories: Pearlescent Watercolor Set, Spellbinders Sprightly Sprockets, A2 Matting Basics A, Sizzix Circles Dotted, Cuttlebug Diamond Plate, Ranger Embossing Powder Clear
