My Favorite Things - Polynesian Paradise - card 2

As part of the Scrapofparadise.ca design team I created this colorful card.  

I stamped the images on 80lb Neenah Smooth Classic Crest Solar White Paper. Colored as per chart below and then fussy cut each image leaving a small white border around each.

I cut a 4 inch square using the Lawn Fawn - Small Cross-Stitched Square Stackables Die from Brown piece of Echo Park - Wish upon a Star 12X12 solids pack I cut 1/4" off one edge. I also used the tan paper from the same pack 4" by 5". See photo for placement.

I used the Lawn Fawn "Cuts Die Outside In Stitched Scalloped Circle" cutting the largest 4" circle from White and foam and the brown from Echo Park -Wish upon a Star 12x12 solids  using the 3" scalloped circle. I pasted the brown circle off center and adhered the 3 pieces together. I then cut approximately 3/4" off the side.

I used foam to add dimension to the sentiment, the girl and a few flowers. I like to cover as much of the images in foam as possible so they are firm and won't buckle in transit and will last the test of time.

My Favorite Things - Polynesian Paradise - card 1

As part of the Scrapofparadise.ca design team I created this colorful card.  

I stamped the images on 80lb Neenah Smooth Classic Crest Solar White Paper. Colored as per chart below and then fussy cut as close to image as possible. To finish up the image and for a clean finish after fussy cutting I used Copic marker 100 along the outside edge to cover the white core of the paper.

I used a piece of white card stock to creat a beach scene using Tim Holtz Distress Inks... Tumbled Glass for the sky ..Salty ocean for the water..  and Antique Linen for the sandy beach. 

I cut a 3 inch scalloped circle using Lawn Fawn "Cuts Die Outside In Stitched Scalloped Circle" from the center of a 4 /4" by 5 1/2" piece of brown solid paper from the Echo Park - Wish upon a Star 12X12 Solids pack. I then cut a large piece of foam using the same die and traced the outside edge of the brown piece on the black foam as a guide and then cut the foam a bit smaller to ensure the foam would not be seen on the outside of the card. I lined up the pieces and adhered them together. I then adhered the beach scene underneath. 

Arrange the colored images around the card using foam on some images to add dimension. I used foam on the girl, the lizard, the blue flower, the pineapple, the parrot, the toucan and the sentiment.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - What's Up, Dude?

I love a great "man card" and the masculine stamps are so hard to come by so I was really glad to find and snag this one. I was saving the perfect pizza paper for just the right occasion.

For this card I first stamped the image on white 110lb cover stock 3 inches by 4 1/4 inches.





I used the following colors:

Copic color chart:

Skin : E00 E01 E02 E04

Shirt: R32 R29 R59

Shorts and Skate Board : N4 N6 N7 N9 N10 

Skateboard texture - 0
Shoes and Hat : YG03 YG05 YG06
Socks : C1 
School Bag : E40 E43
Hair : N6 N7 N9 N10
Ground : C1 C3     

                 








I cut a black piece of card stock 3 and 1/8 " by 4 and 3/8". Pizza piece of patterned paper is 4 and 7/8" by 3 and 1/8". I also used a piece of black card stock to add a border to the patterned paper, which is cut to 5" by 3 and 1/4"

I cut bright neon green paper 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" from Forever in Time -Tropical 6x6 Select Cardstock paper

I used White - Yeti Lawn Fawn pigment ink pad - to stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment on a piece of 2 and 5/8" by 3/4" black cardstock. I used black foam to add height to this piece.

Lastly I glued black half pearls to a portion on the card surrounding the image.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Girl Power

To create this fun card I  first stamped the image on white 110lb cover stock paper. After I had colored in the image - see Copic color guide below - I stamped the same image on Inkadinkado Stamping Mask Paper cut out the girl as closely as possible. It's okay to leave a little extra for the legs since they are very narrow and it is difficult to cut out. 

After covering my colored image with the Inkadinkado Stamping Mask Paper I used a Tim Holtz stencil called "Mesh THS041" and stamped using the Fired Brick - Red Distress ink pad. I then removed the stencil and lightly stamped around the image to soften the sharpness and cover some of the white. I then removed the Inkadinkado Masking paper. 

To create the star cutout I first created a black star outline using 2 medium star nesting dies. I used a larger star die set to cut the background for the image. In order to not cut the entire image and black outline piece I used only a portion of the cutting plates on my BigShot die cutting machine. By over hanging the image in between the sandwich it will only cut where there is pressure on the die. I suggest taping the die to the paper so it won't move using a piece of your least favorite washi tape, since it can easily be removed without damaging the image.

 I created a black border by using rectangle dies. I layered a "Happy Birthday" die slightly askew  to create a white shadow effect. 

I used foam tape to add dimension to the black border and the star/image piece.

Although difficult to see in the photos I finished up the card by using Clear Wink of Stella to outline the image in glimmering sparkle. I took as best a photo as I could as reference.

Copic Markers used :

Skate Board : YG91 YG93 YG99

Cycling Bear Summer scene

This cutie is one of my favorite cards that I've made. The colors pop off the white dot embossed card stock and I was fortunate enough to have found a great cloud patterned paper to add a special touch. The stamp and die set I utilized was from Ali Express. I used a square die in order to make the window. Foam squares pop up the die cut pieces for added dimension and visual interest. While most of my cards are rectangle for this one I made a square card that was 5 x 5.

Coloring the weekend away

It has been a great weekend of working on coloring for future cards.. In the coming weeks you will see these used and i'll be posting the markers I used and instructions.  Stay tuned... :) 

Photoplay Oh Canada

Having enjoyed crafting and creating for many years I've been wanting to try creating a blog so that I could share my craft with others. I love to share ideas and get ideas from fellow crafters.  Although I may not be the best at creative writing I've decided to try and give it a whirl. I hope I can share my passion with you for years to come.

Today i'm sharing with you a card I created as part of the Scrap of Paradise design team using the Photoplay Oh Canada line and stamp set. I colored the moose using Copic markers then fussy cut him out. I use 110lb weight card stock for most of my stamped images as they hold up better. For this moose I also colored the edges of the white cardstock black for a better finish as the white stood out too much. I used a vellum sentiment by core'dinations called Vellum Quotes and Titles Celebrate pack which has 60 different vellum sheets. I placed the vellum in the window which I raised slightly using foam squares over the Canada leaf patterned paper giving the Canada leaves a softer look. To create the window I used the We R memory keepers frame punch board.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Santa Paws

 

Today I would like to share a card I made using the "Santa paws" stamp set from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. This stamp had been meant for a Christmas card or scrapbooking layout however I had chosen a yellow and black theme rather so I could use this card as a birthday or "just to say hi" card.  For the "Lovely" I used a die from Heidi Swapp. To create the thick chipboard look and feel I die cut black coverstock 5 times and used adhesive to layer the cuts. To color the stamped image I used my trusty Copic markers and finished off with Tim Holtz distress ink to create a floor.
