Thinking of You

I recently made a scrapbook layout using papers from the Jen Hadfield Home + Made paper collection.  I love the color combinations in this collection and did not have the heart to throw away the scraps of paper.  So I gathered up some Distress Oxide inks in coordinating colors and a couple of flower layering stamp sets from Hampton Art.




I used Scattered Straw and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks for the bases of the flowers.  I stamped the flower details with Fossilized Amber and Abandoned Coral.  For the green leaves, I used Cracked Pistachio and added the details with Evergreen Bough.  I stamped the remaining foliage and small leaves using Weathered Wood.  I also used Weathered Wood to stamp the centers of the large pink flower and one of the smaller yellow flowers.  All stamped images were cut with my Brother ScanNCut.


I adhered a piece of flower patterned paper to the bottom of the card base and a piece of green arrow paper to the top. I used a strip of black and white polka dot paper across the middle.  Then, I used a circle cutter to cut a 4" circle from white cardstock and cut that circle in half.  I adhered the semicircle to the top half of the card.


I arranged the cut flowers and the foliage to the top left of the semicircle, popping up the large pink flower with foam tape.  I added pink rhinestones to the centers of the smaller flowers.  The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed in white on silver cardstock. And for the final touch, I used a strip of foam tape to glue the sentiment above the black and white polka dot strip of paper.


I was able to create four cards using the scraps of paper from my previous scrapbook layout.  A fantastic two for one deal using a beautiful paper collection!

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 emboss...

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...

Hero Arts Citrus Cards

Today I had fun playing with the Hero Arts Fresh Citrus Bold Prints background stamp and the Hero Arts Zest Wishes Stamp Set to create these fun and fresh set of cards. I started by creating the backgrounds.  I used white cardstock and stamped it with the background stamp using VersaMark Ink.  I heat embossed the panels with white embossing powder.  Then, I used a foam blending tool and blended Scattered Straw, Squeezed Lemonade, and Twisted Citron Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks to ink the card panels.  For some panels, I used only one ink and other panels I used a combination of all the inks.  I cut the inked backgrounds down to 4" x 5.25" and matte each panel on a black card base.   For one card, I used the excess strips from when I cut down the inked panels, and adhered these strips to a black card panel, leaving a little of the black background showing in between each of the strips. I stamped all the citrus fruits, leaves, flowers, and branches on w...
