Mint Owl Studio - Card and Video

Hello everyone,

I finally got the chance to post his video of a couple belated birthday cards I made with some products from Mint Owl Studio.

I try and link to as many items as I can but some items are purchased at my local craft and art stores and links just don't function well in Canada.  These are not one of a kind items and can be purchased and any craft store.

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon.

Tic Tac Toe Challenge 15 - Stamping Smiles Designs

 Hello everyone,

We are back for Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge 15.

My choice: WORD DIES - SPARKLE - COLOUR BLOCKING

Now I have to say that I did google colour blocking as I just assumed that it was blocks of colour but I found out that it was also solid sections of colour.  So I have found a few designs that I liked but this style caught my eye.  

I started with an ivory card base and used a stitched rectangle die to cut out the panel.  I then took a pencil and drew the lines to block off my colours and then went over them with a copic multi liner. 

 I then used Scattered Straw, Pumice Stone and Tattered Straw distress inks and added them with a water brush to the panel and let it dry.  I then took my Wink of Stella marker and added sparkle to the work die and the top left corner.

Thanks for stopping by, we hope to see your creations in the link up!

AAA Cards - Game #68 Tags

Hello everyone,

We are back with another challenge for you today over at AAA Cards and it's all about tags!  I love tags but don't always how to use them.  Today I created a card with an acetate tag just to add some fun. Check it out below.

Our amazing sponsor is Happy Little Stampers and we are tickled to have them back sponsoring another challenge.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Hannelie from desert diva.  Be sure to show her some blog love!

For my card, I decided that I wanted something fun and summery.  It's a beautiful sunny day here and I can't wait to sit out in my sun room with a summery drink.

I used the Mama Elephant newest die set, the Framed Tags Park Ave set and I absolutely love the frame die. It is A2 sized so it will cover a card base. I also love their Maddison Ave die set and use that frame die a lot too.

I went on to cut out a tag with the SSS Large tag dies out of some scrap acetate. My acetate supply came from my sister-in-law and she was able to supply me with a hefty stash.  

I stamped, heat embossed and coloured the Flamingo from the latest SSS release Among the Stars. I just can't get enough of those Flamingos! I used the TH distress markers in Warn Lipstick and Black Soot and water coloured it with a water brush.

Since this is a smooth surface, I used my MISTI to stamp the sentiment with Versafine onyx black ink and clear embossed it on to the acetate. This way it will dry. If you don't heat emboss, it never dry.  You could also use StaZon ink and that will dry as it's formulated to work on non porous surfaces.  

For the sun, I used the scattered straw distress ink, blended and stamped onto the die cut. I had added white die cuts to the back of the acetate tag but when I stood the card up, the tag didn't sit nicely so I ended up added foam tape to the back of the images and adhered it to the card base.  Oh well, that happens in the run of a card making session.

That's it for me. We hope you'll join us for our TAGS challenge.

Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #12 - SMDT

Hello everyone,

We are back with Challenge #12 for the Tic-Tac-Toe - Stamping Smiles designs.

My choice:  Doily-Layers & Dimension-Bird/Bees/Butterflies

For my card today I put a lot of elements into it.  Some days I am a minimalist and others I like to load it up!

As soon as I saw the birds/bees/butterflies I immediately thought of the Home Sweet Home (which I just realized that this set is now retired, sorry!) along with the Cirtters in the Burbs set.  I coloured everything with my copics and added some Wink of Stella to some of the critters. 

I don't know if you can see where my doily is but if you look at the grassy hill you will find it!  I coloured the white doily that I purchased from my local dollar store and added some stamped grass from the Critters in the Burbs and added some colour with my copics.  

I then took one of the cloud border dies and cut out a stencil from a piece of scrap card stock and used the Broken China distress ink to add the clouds in the background.  I glued down the doily and them added the fame die to the card panel with foam tape and the added the rest of the elements with foam tape and a few with liquid adhesive.

I cut out a banner from white card stock and cut off one end so I could add it to the base.  I stamped the sentiment and added the die cut "you" from Altenew to the card.

Don't forget to stop by and link up your projects.  We can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by.
