Baby Girl Shaker Card


I'm back with two more shaker cards! These also were made with supplies from Die Cuts with A View (DCWV), Martha Stewart, Marvy, Darcie's, Impression Obsession, Bazzill, Marvy, Recollections and Memento with the addition of Mon Ami Gabby.

Here's a shaker card tip. Notice that the card on the left is more orderly and the one on the right has glitter all over the window. Well, I rubbed the surface of the one of the left with a new drier sheet before filling and it removed the static. Amazing!!


The shaker windows are self-adhesive, very shallow and easy to use. I stuck the adhesive edge of the shaker window to a large punched circle and covered the edge with adhesive fabric ribbon. The windows are filled with iridescent shaped glitter from Martha Stewart. It looks like tiny sequins.

I love the pink crepe paper on the card front from Mon Ami Gabby and the bling from Recollections. The sentiment on the front was created with two stamps from Inkadinkado. I did a little masking to stamp just the baby head and then the baby girl right underneath.


The internal sentiments are from Darcie's and Inkadinkado. Thanks for stopping by!

It's a Boy! Shaker Card


Shaker cards are all the rage and I thought I'd try my hand at some simple ones using supplies from Die Cuts with A View (DCWV), Martha Stewart, Marvy, Impression Obsession, Darcie's, Jolee's, Bazzill, Marvy, Recollections and Memento.


The shaker windows are self-adhesive, very shallow and easy to use. It accommodates a small punched square for the background. The sentiment is from Recollections. I then punched a scalloped square and punched a square out of the middle to create a frame. This frame covered the edges of the shaker window for a neat and clean card front. The windows are filled with iridescent shaped glitter from Martha Stewart. It looks like tiny sequins.


The sentiments are from Darcie's. They are the cutest baby sentiments I've seen in a long time. Thanks for stopping by!

What is the simplest, yet most complicated looking stamping trick? Check this out!


What is the simplest, yet most complicated looking stamping trick? Pull out your rubber stamps and Marvy brush markers to create a masterpiece in seconds! I used stamps by The Local King and Impression Obsession. Isn't it gorgeous?

To achieve this look I used glossy cardstock, colored directly on the rubber stamp with 2 shades of each color (light then dark), huffed and stamped. That's it!! It looks like I took great time and detail to make the look but it was a 60 second deal....if that! Then with a very light color, I stamped the branches background stamp over the image of the bird and flowers.  Pink and blue is one of my favorite color combos for cards.

 The base card is from Stampin' Up! and the layer is from my stash. The card's focal point is accented with burlap ribbon from The Paper Studio, Cuttlebug embossing inked with Hero Arts neon ink and pearls from Recollections. The sentiment is an encouraging one from Dylusions.

Please let me know if you have tried this technique or will in the future. 

 Thanks for stopping by!

A Best Friend... Rubbernecker and Impression Obsession Stamps


Do you make friendship cards? How do you successfully use up patterned paper you don't like? Well, I have found that making cards for friends is so enjoyable.  It's been a way to express the sassy, funny side of crafting - a real way for my personality to come in. These corresponding stamps by Rubbernecker really fit the bill. And, I was able to use paper I didn't prefer by using a distressed Impression Obsession background stamp on top. My favorite technique these days is coloring with Copic Markers.

A  seemingly innocent image becomes sinister once the sentiment is expressed. I love it! 

Supplies:

  • Recollections 110 lb white cardstock 
  • Stampin' Up! patterned cardstock
  • Copic X-press It Blending Card
  • Rubbernecker - sentiment ( a best friend) and main image (best friend)
  • Impression Obsession - sunburst background stamp
  • Stash - enamel dots
  • Copic Markers
  • Memento - Tuxedo Black ink
  • Colorbox - chalk ink


 A  seemingly innocent image becomes sinister once the sentiment is expressed. I love it!

Today I was inspired to the MAX by Kristina Werner! She created a fab Christmas card that I needed to try my hand at. Check out her version here on YouTube and here on her blog. 
I chose to make two versions using a digital stamp by Mo Manning – Little Elf Pipa and background stamps from Impression Obsession and Mowenta. Unlike Kristina, I fussy cut the digi and adhered it to the card front.


 This was one of those labors of love that consumed me day and night. I am glad I spent the time on it. I made many mistakes like forgetting to prep the surface, ill stamping, heating the embossing powder too long but I still love the results. These are my fav cards of the hop.

Supplies:
·       digital stamp by Mo Manning – Little Elf Pipa
·       Epson WP-4530 Inkjet Printer

 I am obsessed with two things... the sentiment by Clear and Simple Stamps is the words of the PHENOMENAL Maya Angelou and Memento Luxe ink – Danube Blue. You've got to get this ink! It comes in many colors and is just so rich, vibrant and yummy! It almost looks neon on these cards on top of the distress ink.
