Today's layout features Distress Oxide Paints and is featured around my kids and their sweatshirts from their favorite YouTubers.  They both received their sweatshirts in the mail this week and couldn't wait to wear them.
I wanted to create a painted background.  I knew that Twisted Citron, Spun Sugar, and Black Soot Distress Oxide paints would match the color of their sweatshirts perfectly and provide the bold stripes that I wanted for my background.  I used white gesso to cover the back of a 12X12 heavy-weight white cardstock insert from a Heidi Swapp Storyline album page protector.  I used a wide paintbrush to brush a bold horizontal stripe of each of the paint colors.  I used Heidi Swapp's Gold Color Shine to add paint splatters to the painted background.


For the title, I downloaded the Blue Bird font from dafont.com and I used my Cricut machine to cut the word MERCH.  I only used the outline of the title and backed each letter with papers that coordinated with the paint colors.  I was excited to use a flamingo print paper from my stash to coordinate with my son's Flamingo sweatshirt.  I placed the title across the green stripe of paint near the top of the page.


I used pink and green enamel dots and gold cardstock heart stickers to embellish around the photo.  I used a couple of Project Life cards for my journaling block.  I used a variety of embellishments and stickers from my stash that coordinated well with the colors and theme of the layout.  



I was excited to create a bold layout to preserve my kids' obsession with merchandise from their favorite streamers.

Ready Player One

Today's card is a fun virtual reality birthday card created in Cricut Design Space and features a vibrant title backed by an alcohol inked panel. A couple of years ago, my son and I read the book Ready Player One,  a science fiction book about humanity's use of virtual reality to escape the real world. Fast forward a few years and now he wants his own virtual reality headset for his birthday.  I created this card for him to celebrate our love for this book and to serve as a precursor of the birthday gift that was to come. While creating this card, I wore the movie T-Shirt I bought last year so I could mimic the movie title font and colors.  I needed an easy way to make the title out of rainbow colors so I placed a few colors of alcohol ink on a felt pad and swiped it across Yupo Paper.  I downloaded and installed the font used for the movie title and cut the title out of a black A2 card panel using Cricut Design Space.  I backed the black card panel with th...

Glimmer Hot Foil Birthday Cards

Today's cards are part of my stash-busting series.  This is where I look around my craft room and grab a bunch of supplies that I haven't yet had the chance to use.  The results yielded two glimmer hot foiled birthday cards. I used the smooshing technique to apply Mustard Seed and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide inks onto white card panels.  After the panels were dry, I used the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System along with the Scattered Flowers and Diamonetta Background Glimmer plates to add Aura Glimmer Hot foil to the card panels.   The card panels were mounted onto pink cardstock.  I used the same Aura foil to glimmer the Happy Birthday sentiment onto white cardstock.   I cut the sentiment using a Momenta nesting border die.  I used a slightly larger border die to cut a sentiment border from the pink cardstock.  I cut pink and yellow flowers using the Sizzix Spring Things die set.  I ran the flowers and sentiment border through t...

Spellbinders Club Kit Valentine's Day Cards

Today's cards feature the Spellbinders January Small Die of the Month and the Glimmer Hot Foil Club Kits.  I couldn't wait to combine these two kits to create some Valentine cards. I used the dies from the Small Die of the Month kit to cut several pieces from pink and white cardstock as well as red and gold foil cardstock.  I used the Glimmer Hot Foil sentiment glimmer plates to glimmer several sentiments in red and gold foil onto white cardstock.  For each card, I glued the decorative frame to a white card base.  I added the smaller die cut panel to the decorative frame. For the shaker cards, I die cut the large frame out of white cardstock and trimmed off the decorative edges.  I adhered one of the smaller foil die-cut panels to this piece.  I trimmed down the edges some more leaving a small border around the inner panel.  I used the included heart die-cut to cut out a heart from the center of this white cardstock panel just inside the heart that was...
