Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge 6

Hello everyone,

We are back with Stamping Smiles Design Tic-Tack-Toe Challenge 6.

My three choices are Celebrate / Clean&Simple / Critters

My card today can work for either a new baby, new co-worker or new neighbourgh.

I started out with this panel that I made playing with my Misti and loved how it looked.  I took a stipe stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and there colours of SSS ink and did one strip in each colour.  I then took a rectangle die and cut it out the panel glued it to the base.  

I have to admit that I shopped my stash for this one.  I have SO many little things that are taking over my desk so as I was deciding which three elements to use for this challenge, I had this image that I coloured for The Daily Marker's colour challenge and the stupid panel was just sitting beside it.  So put them together for this card.  

I then took the scalloped square dies from MFT and cut out a panel and stamped the images onto that and coloured them in with my copics.  I then popped that up with foam tape and added some sparkling clear sequins to finish off the card.

AAA Cards Challenge - Game 60 - Easter

Hi everyone,

We are back with another challenge here at AAA Cards and our Game theme this week is Easter.  

I can't believe that Easter is in March this year and how the time really going by so fast.  But right now you have lots of time to play along with us for our Easter Challenge.

This week our sponsor is Happy Little Stampers who will be providing a $20 gift certificate to their store.

Here is my card for today's challenge.  

I did a die cut inlay and took the front panel and cut out the film strip from the left side of the card.  I popped up to the card base with foam tape and used the tape to keep the die cut together with the panel.

I took the little squares from the middle and used dye ink and did some ink blending.  I only used one colour per square to keep it simple but just had darker blending at the bottom.  I then glued them to the card base to give a bit of dimension.  

I took the film strip die and cut it out one more time and added that on top of the other to add a bit of dimension as well.  For the sweet little bunnies, I used the Pretty Pink Posh and Simon Says Stamp collaboration set from Stamptember 2015 and coloured in their ears and cheeks with my copics.  

I popped them up as well and added them to the opposite coloured squares and added a little flower sequin to one of the bunnies.  I stamped the sentiment on to a banner die cut and added a few matching enamel dots.

Skipping Stones Design Tips / Technique Blog Hop

Hello everyone,

I have a tip and technique for you today today.

My technique is masking.  You can use most anything as a mask and I normally use sticky notes or actually masking paper.  With masking you always want to start with the image you want to be up front and then mask as you work back.

My tip is where I store my masks.  I keep them on the back of the carrier sheets for the stamps.  That way they are always there if you need them.  

Here is the card I created using the tips and techniques above.

I used the birdie from the Hippo Birdie Two Ewe stamp set along with the french fry.  I stamped the bird on the front panel, masked it off and then stamped the fry.  I then coloured in the images with my copics and popped up that front panel on to my card base.

I added the sentiment from the same stamp set, which makes me giggle every time I read it and added some enamel dots and some Wink of Stella that you can't see very well.

Don't forget to hop along to the other DT members and see the tips and techniques they have to share.

Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge 5

Hello everyone,

I'm here with the Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge Five. 

I chose FRIENDSHIP, GOLD, LAYERS.

 I started out with a watercoloured background and layered the die cut panel on top with a SSS background die.  I took some of the gold dividers out of my planner and die cut the Amazing.  I figured that I could use them for die cutting and I've used up about three dividers so far!  It's so pretty!  

I took a piece of vellum and heat embossed the rest of the sentiment with white embossing powder.  I added tiny little dots to the back where it was embossed to hide the adhesive and  then I took the ends and wrapped it around the card panels and taped it to the back.  I added gold glitter enamel dots from a card kit from a few years ago to finish off the card. 

Head on over to the Stamping Smiles Designs TTT Challenge and show us what you've got!  We love seeing what you create!  We would love for you to add the #ssdtictactoechallenge when sharing your creations. You are what makes these challenges so much fun!!

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon.

AAA Card - Game #59 - Embossing

Hello everyone,

We are back with another challenge with AAA Cards and it's anything Embossing!

Our sponsor for this month is Stampendous and they are offering a $20 gift certificate!

Here is my card for this challenge.  I used heat embossing for the sentiment with clear embossing powder and I did this three times to give it lots of dimension.  I used my MISTI to stamp the "because you are" on two additional panels with a PPP stitched tab dies and used memento onyx black ink and then I stamped it again with versamark and then clear embossed it.  I love my MISTI for things like this that would have been much too hard to do with out it.  

I used a SSS stencil and blended candied apple distress ink to the bottom corner then sprayed a perfect pearls mixture that I keep in a mini mister along with some raspberry spray mist and added that to the front panel.  To finish off my card I used some silver thread and added it under the die cut sentiment as well as some clear droplets
