Girl Power- You Are One of A Kind

Hi Friends!

I hope all of you are having a great week so far! 

Today I am sharing another card using the May release stamp set, Girl Power along with the previously released stamp sets, Be Unique and All About You from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps. 

I absolutely love the new Girl Power stamp set- it is so much fun creating girls with all sorts of different hairstyles as well as facial features and outfits!! In fact, this set has been so popular that it is on pre-order right now but will be back in stock soon! 

I incorporated the Splitcoaststampers SC695 Sketch Challenge for the layout, the Free For All #F4A420 “Celebrating Barbie” Challenge and the Ways To Use It WT686“Patterned Paper” Challenge along with the Word Art Wednesday #334-#335“Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge sites or the SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1).  Ink the Girl Power images with Memento™ Tuxedo Black ink and stamp the images onto white cardstock.  Color the images with alcohol markers and fussy-cut each girl.

2). Die cut two pieces of white cardstock with a stitched circle dies, stamp the “You” from Be Unique and the “are” from All About You (I cut it off the “are amazing” sentiment) onto the smaller circle die and “One of a kind” from Be Unique with Memento™ Tuxedo Black ink.  Mount onto circles cut from chocolate cardstock.

3). Die cut a piece of designer paper with a stitched rectangle die, mount onto a die cut rectangle of chocolate cardstock and mount onto a white card base.

4). Die cut a larger circle of white cardstock with a stitched die, mount onto another circle from chocolate cardstock and adhere directly to the card front.

5). Adhere the smaller circle to the upper part of the larger circle, mount the medium circle with dimensional foam to the card front.  Add the two girl images with brown hair directly to the card front and the blonde girl with dimensional foam.  Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the girl's sunglasses :-)

6).  Add the chocolate satin ribbon bow with corduroy brad to finish off the card.

All About You - You Are Amazing!

Hi Friends!

I am having so much fun this week designing with the new July release from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps and this card features the new stamp set, All About You (new release available on Friday, July 7th).

I wanted to create a quick Clean and Simple (CAS) card using the CAS(E) This Sketch #228 Sketch Challenge and the CAS Colours and Sketches #230 Colour Challenge.

Again, if you have not had a chance to visit the challenge sites or SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). Ink the All About You sentiment using Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink and stamp onto a piece of white cardstock., apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

2). Create a mask for the waves with either scrap paper or as I did with an old transparency sheet.  Use a sponge dauber to apply the lemon lime, island indigo and berry burst dye based ink. Once you have sponged the ink to the desired darkness, lightly spritz with water and heat set with the heat tool.

3). Trim the panel, mount onto a piece of black cardstock and adhere to the white card base.

4). Heat emboss the “Are Amazing” sentiment from All About You with white embossing powder onto a piece of black and heat set with the heat tool. Trim the sentiment and mount onto the card front with dimensional foam.

5). Add a few sequins to finish off the card.

Thanks again for stopping by!  Hugs and I hope all of you have a great week!
