Spellbinders Lace Hearts Cards

Today's cards feature the Spellbinders Lace Hearts die set and the January Glimmer Hot Foil Kit on embossed heart backgrounds.

I created two different background panels. For the first panel, I used VersaMark ink to stamp the Hero Arts Bursting With Love background stamp on red cardstock. I heat embossed it with holographic embossing powder. For the second background, I used Festive Berries Distress Oxide ink to stamp the Simon Says Stamp Heart Garland Background stamp on white cardstock and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I layered each background on gold foil cardstock and adhered them to a white card base.

I die-cut the large lace hearts from gold foil cardstock and the inner hearts with white cardstock. I layered the hearts on the stamped backgrounds using foam tape. I added a red foil heart glimmered with gold foil to one of the cards and a small gold foil heart to the other.

The final touch was to add a glimmer sentiment to the bottom right of each card.

I love how the Lace Hearts die set coordinates well with the January Glimmer Hot Foil Kit to make a perfect set of Valentine's Day cards.

Lost in the Inky Darkness

Today's card features a few of the new Tim Holtz Sizzix and Ranger Halloween products. I could not wait to use the Tim Holtz Skulls 3-D Texture Fades embossing folder and combine it with Distress inks and spray stains. I started by inking the flat side of the embossing folder with Black Soot Distress Archival Ink. I sprayed a panel of water color paper with water and carefully placed this paper into the embossing folder. I ran the embossing folder through my Sizzix Big Shot 3 times. I took the embossed panel out of the embossing folder and cleaned the embossing folder with StazOn All-Purpose Stamp Cleaner. Next, I sprayed the panel with Tim Holtz Decayed Distress Mica Stain. This gave it a green tinge with a hint of sparkle. I decided to seal the card panel by dipping a foam blending pad into Distress Micro Glaze and dabbing this onto the card panel. I glued a black cardstock matte behind the embossed panel and adhered it to a white card base. For the sentiment, I used the &qu

Tim Holtz Spencer Halloween Card

I can't get enough of Tim Holtz's Colorize Spencer die set. The detail and dimension of this image is absolutely amazing. Today's card features Spencer, 3-D embossing folders, and a few other Tim Holtz Halloween dies sets. The main card panel was made by embossing a piece of silver foil cardstock using the Sizzix 3-D Textured Impressions Pinwheel embossing folder. I watered down a few drops of black acrylic paint and used a paint brush to brush the paint onto the embossed panel. I let the paint dry for about a minute and then took a paper towel to rub off the excess paint. I adhered this panel to a black card base. The smaller card panel was made by embossing a piece of black cardstock with the Tim Holtz Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades Mini Cobblestone embossing folder. I added a few drops of Sterling Distress Foundry Wax to a craft mat and used my finger to apply the Foundry Wax to the embossed panel. I added a black matte behind this embossed panel and adhered it at an an

First Day of School

Today's layout was inspired by @christys_beautiful_life 30 Days of Sketches Round 8, Day 3. I decided to focus the layout on a photo of this year's first day of school. The layout has several sketched circles. I decided to break out the sewing machine and sew a few black circles using a variety of stitches. The Scraptember challenge combined with this sketch was layering. So I grabbed the Simple Stories Smarty Pants collection and layered up a bunch of the branding strips and the patterned papers found on the journaling cards. I used the letter stickers from the collection to create the title. I also used some of the stickers to embellish the title and photo, and also to create an embellishment cluster in the upper right corner of the layout. To finish off the layout, I splattered it with black ink. I love the 30 Days of Sketches because it is a great way to use up older collections and challenges me to utilize techniques that I don't often use in my layouts. First Da
