Newton's Nook Designs - Welcome Spring!

Hello everyone!

I am here with Newton's Nook Designs featuring Spring Roundabout Stamp Set that goes perfectly with NND Circle Frames Die. There are six sentiments in this set that you can create cards for Spring or Easter.  The sentiments also can be die cut from the Banner Duo Die Set.

Here is my card for your inspiration:

My card is an A2 card, that I created a shaker.  The background paper is from Newton's Nook Designs Spring Blooms Paper Pad, that I die cut the background with the Frames and Flags Die Set.  I stamped the Spring Roundabout Stamp onto white card stock and colored the images with alcohol markers.  I then die cut it with second scalloped circle from the Circle Frames Die Set. I die cut the scallop circle from again from the Circle Frames Die Set and used the second largest circle to cut the center.  I added some accetate to the back of the scalloped circle, added some foam tape to the back and added some embellishmnets from my stash and adhered the image to the back.  I adhered it to the base of my card.  I then stamped and embossed the sentiment and added it to the card.

Joy Clair Designs - NEW Digital Easter Stamps!

Hello everyone!

Can you believe it is Spring!  Where did the snow go?  We hardly had any snow this winter.  With everything that is going on in the world right now, I guess Spring came in and no one noticed....at least I didn't.  Enjoy the nice weather for the next few days and stay safe.

I am here sharing a couple of cards that I created using the NEW digital stamps by Joy Clair Designs. These stamps were designed by the talented Melinda Beltran, who is on the Joy Clair Designs design team. I cannot wait to see what else she creates. Here are the pictures of the digital stamps in the Joy Clair Design store, hurry and grab them, they are on sale.

BONNIE BUNNIE

 BUNNY GREETINGS

BUNNY TALES

My first card is an A2 card, I used the Bonnie Bunnie set, I printed the image to the size I wanted, I used a stitched die cut to cut the image.  I added some distress ink around the edges before I took the die off the panel, I then colored the image with copics, I cut the flowers and the can images, colored them and pop them up with foam square on the card.  I love making 3D cards and these images are perfect.

Closer look at the card to show the dimension.

My next card, I created using the Bonnie Bunnie set, the sentiment and the fence with the flowers is from the the Bunny Greetings set.  I cut the fence three times, colored the flowers with copics, added some enamel dots to give the flowers dimension, I cut the bunny twice from the Bonnie Bunnie set and colored it with copics, I fuzzy cut the bow and used pop dots to pop it up on the bunny.  I finished the card by die cutting the sentiment from the Bunny Greetings set and adhered it to my card.

Closer look at the card to show the dimension on the bow and the enamel dots on the flowers.

Thank you so much, I hope I have inspired you to start creating your Easter cards.

Retro Rubber Challenge Blog #130 - Sketch

Hello everyone!

I am here with Retro Rubber Challenge blog and we have a new challenge, which is a sketch.  I love sketch challenges.  I hope you enjoy creating something with this sketch. If you have not joined our challenges before, the rules are very simple, just use a stamp older than a year and you must include the age (or approximate age) of the stamp in your blog post. I cannot wait to see you take on it.

Here is my take on the sketch challenge. The stamp set I am using is created by Echo Park called Easter Is Here.  It was released in January 2017

My card is an A2 card, I used some design paper from my stash, I stamped the bold Easter sentiment onto the design paper, I stamped the "some bunny loves you" on a separate piece of paper and cut them out to match the sketch.  This was a fun one!

Are you ready to play along? Be sure to stop over on the Retro Rubber Challenge blog to get some more inspiration! Thank you for stopping by, you have until March 20th to join the fun!

Joy Clair - My Redeemer

Hello everyone!

I am here with Joy Clair with the newly  released stamp set  Color By Faith line called "My Reedeemer".  For all you bible journaler's out there, this is a great set to have!  With Easter coming up this would also be a perfect set to make some Easter cards.  Please make sure you read this whole post there is a giveaway for this new release.

Here is my project today featuring the "My Reedeemer" stamp set. 

Here is how I put it together:

I cut my piece of canvas to size, I then took some Archival Ink (Cactus Flower) and rubbed it into the craft mat and added some alcohol and rubbed the canvas in the solution until I got the color I wanted.

I let my canvas dry, I cut a piece of heavy chipboard to size, after the canvas dried, I laid the chipboard on top of the canvas and wrapped it around.

Here is the what it looks like after I wrapped the canvas around the chipboard. I pivoted the corners so I would not be bulky.

I used my Misti to stamp my sentiments so that I could have a clean and crisp look.  I used Black Archival ink to do this.  I heat set the sentiment to make sure it was dry.

I used the SVGs for the redeemer set, I then stamped the images on chipboard and fuzzy cut them out, I glued the cut out pieces to the chipboard and added the images to my canvas piece.

Happy Spring!

Hello everyone,

I am so excited to share with you all I am on the CottageCutz design team!  This is my first post as a design team member. This is going to be so much fun to share with you the Cottage Cutz dies! For my first post, I am sharing with you a Spring card. Spring is right around the corner, and I don't know about you, I am so ready!!! The die I am using on my card is the “Miss Daisy Spring Bunny” 4x4 die.

Here is how I put my card together!

The base of my card is an A2 (5 ½” H x 4 ¼” W ), I used Regal Rose cardstock by Stampin Up. I have several layers on this card. The first layers are 4 ¼’ H x 4” W and 5 1/8” H x 3 7/8” W. The square layers are 3 x 3 and 2 ¾ X 2 3/4 and the stripe across the middle of the card is 1”H x 4 ¼ W. The design paper is by Authentique – Springtime.

I cut the elements from the “Miss Daisy Spring Bunny” 4x4 die with cardstock; I used a small sponge to ink the edges and shadows. I used the following colors, which is all Stampin Up cardstock: Bunny cut out of Crumb Cake and used Crumb Cake to ink. The leaves Garden Green, inked with Garden Green, and the flowers are cut out of Daffodil Delight and inked with Daffodil Delight. I used a white gel pen to put in the eyes.

The butterfly, I only used the top layer and I colored it with Copics – R81 and 85 and added some clear Wink of Stella so it looks like it is sparkling.

To assemble my card, I used foam tape to pop up the bunny, pieced the flowers on the greenery and adhered it to my card so that it looks like the bunny is sniffing them. I put foam tape on the butterfly and popped it up on the card. I added my sentiment, and to finish the card I added the button with some floss which was from my stash.
