Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #10

Hello everyone! 

I'm here with the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #10 with Stamping Smiles designs.  

My choice is:  Chevron-Ombre-Vellum

As soon as I say the choices for this challenge I knew exactly what I was going to do.

I took my BG11, BG13 & BG18 and created an ombre effect on a piece of vellum.  I then cut it out with the SSS chevron die and adhered it to my card base.  I found a jar of Ranger Glue and Seal in matte finish at my local craft store and found that it doesn't show up on vellum.  So that's what I used for this card.

I had banner in my stash that I cut out of white card stock and stamped the sentiment in MFT's black liquorice hybrid ink and added it to directly to the card.  I then used my BG18 marker to colour a piece of scrap card stock and cut out the wishing die from SSS. 

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon.

Skipping Stones Design Tip/Technics Hop

Hi everyone!

We are back with our Skipping Stones Design Tip/Technics Hop.

For my card I used the Uplifting stamp set and I thought that this was a tree line but it very well could be clouds.  But it's what ever you want it to be and today I wanted it to be clouds.  

I used my copics to colour in the images and for the clouds I did a technique with a piece of terry cloth tower that I cut a corner out of.  I take my colourless blender solution and I add it to the piece of cloth and I push it onto the paper where the ink is.  After it dries it has the texture of the material and it gave the clouds some interest.  I then added the sentiment with black pigment ink.

I cut out the front panel with a rectangle die that had wonky lines around the edge and popped it up with foam tape onto the card base. 

Then once I was finished adding the panel to the card base and colouring the images, I added the glossy accents to the hot air balloon and called the card done. 

For my tip today is when I get in enamel dots, I got and cut off the top cellophane and leave the top of the paper backing so that I can find the colour easily in my stash.

I open the package from the bottom first and then pull out the product and cut off the top then push it back up and close the bottom up.

This way the colour is at the top and I can pull out the enamel dots out the top!

Here is the DT Line up for this hop.  Be sure to hop along with all the DT members for some great inspiration and great tips or techniques.

Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tack-Toe Challenge #9

Hello everyone,

The Social Media Team is back to join Stamping Smiles Designs for another another Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge.

I picked THINGS THAT FLY - WHITE SPACE - SCENE

Here is the card I created for this challenge.  This is the first card I made with this set and it's so much fun!  I started with an A2 sized card base and die cut the front panel with the WPlus9 Sunshine Layers die and the Pretty Pink Posh window frame die.  I took the inside of the window frame and used some blue distress inks to make the sky and then glued it directly to the card base.  

Then I took the Lawn Fawn Medows grass die and cut out some grass from some patterned paper from my stash.  I popped that along with the front panel with foam tape for dimension.  

I used my copics to colour in the images as well as the scripty happy birthday die and used Wink of Stella to add glitter.  No fairy card is complete without glitter!

Hope to see you play along with us!

Skipping Stones Design - Sketch Challenge #2

Hello everyone!

We are back with a sketch challenge this month with Skipping Stones Design and hope you play along.  

Here is my card for this challenge.

I made this card for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day.

For my card today I used the Beautiful Botanicals.  I started out with an A2 sized card base and added the front panel that I cut out with a stitched rectangle die.  I then cut out three stitched circles from the same card stock with stitched circle dies and heat embossed the flowers with white embossing powder.

I wanted something soft and subtle so I took a light pink ink and applied the colour with a sponge dauber with just enough to see the images.

I popped them up with foam tape.  With a banner that I had already die cut and found in my stash, I stamped the sentiment with Versafine onyx black ink and added clear embossing power and heat set it with my heat gun to give it some interest.

I adhered it to the card with liquid adhesive to one of the circles and foam tape to the other side so the sentiment is even on the card.  I added some pink gems to finish off the card.

Don't forget to head over the our blog and link up your projects!  We love to see what you create.

Thanks, see you again soon!

AAA Cards - Game 63 - CAS Shakers

Hello everyone,

We are back with another challenge and CAS Shakers.

Our sponsor for this game is Stampendous and you get a chance to win a $20 gift certificate!  Thanks Stampendous!  

For my card today I used some bits and pieces from my stash.  I have lots of watercolored backgrounds that are just waiting to be turned into a project.  This is the Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink and is one of my many favourites.  

I recently bought some Stick-it and this is the first project that I used it on and wow!  That stuff is amazing and man is it strong!  It sure made putting this shaker together a lot easier.

I kept the dies together and cut out a piece of acetate as well as some fun foam with the Stick-it on both sides and added that to the front panel.

I cut out the thanks die from the same watercolour background and added fun foam to the back as well to give it dimension. 

 I added the Lucy's Little Things sequins pack in phosphorescence and added another piece of acetate. I find by adding a back panel to the shaker itself helps me add it straight on the card base.  I get a little perturbed when things aren't straight.
