JUGS316 Thinking of You

Hi Friends!!

It’s time for the new Just Us Girls #316 “Photo Week” Challenge and I decided to create a fun Mixed Media background using Gelatos® and Brusho® Colour Crystals.

I hope you will have a chance to check out the rest of the fabulous Just Us Girls Design Team projects and come join in on the fun!

 

I am also linking this card to the Splitcoaststampers’ TLC554 "WatercolorThose Die Cuts" Challenge. 

To create this card:

Spritz a piece of Watercolor Paper with water and add the Lemon, Cherry and Blueberry Gelatos®, spritzing again and allowing the colors to blend.

Dry with the Heat Tool, spritz the paper again and add the Brusho® Colour Crystals  (I  used Brilliant Red, Turquoise and Yellow) adding additional water as needed to dilute the crystals swirling the colors around on the paper, dry with the Heat Tool and once dried cut out with the Big Shot™ using the Docrafts® Bee Keeper Die.

Cut another honeycomb piece using the same die from Basic Black cardstock (set aside the small black honeycomb shapes for another day:-))

Lay the watercolored honeycomb die cut frame onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and adhere each individual hexagon onto the card front.

Add the Basic Black honeycomb die cut frame off center a bit to mimic the shelves in the photo.

Trim the panel and mount onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock, trim again and mount onto the Whisper White card base.

Add the Silver Metallic Thread (looping and adhering the thread behind the area that the sentiment will cover).

De-static a piece of Basic Black cardstock using the Embossing Buddy®, stamp the sentiment from the October 15 Paper Pumpkin set, Blissful Bouquet using Versamark™ Ink, apply Stampin’ Emboss White Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.

Wrap a few pieces of the Silver Metallic Thread around the edges, punch the ends with the Hexagon Punch to create the banner and mount to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the card.

PPA183 Rose Red Roses- Thinking of You

Hi Stampers!!

It was a snowy, wintry day so I had a chance to play in my craft room and decided to create a card using the Pals Paper Arts PPA183 Color Challenge (again, the Design Team has created a variety of fantastic projects as well as the other entries- wonderful inspiration)!

I wanted to create a basic “Thinking of You” card and incorporated a sneak peek of a new items from the upcoming All Occasions Mini:-)

To create this card:

Use the Big Shot™ to emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Modern Mosiac Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.  Mount this layer onto a piece of Rose Red cardstock and again onto the Whisper White card base.

Use the Big Shot™ with the new Spiral Floral Die to cut two of the large roses and the 2 /12” Circle Punch for the smaller rose (hand cut a spiral towards the center of the 2 ½” Circle). 

Using the retired Crimper Tool, crimp all three roses and crumple the paper a bit by hand.  Roll starting with the outside edge toward the center and adhere in the middle with adhesive- for this card, I chose to use a hot glue gun for the centers :-).

Cut two Chalk Talk tags using the Big Shot™ with the Chalk Talk Framelits™- one from Whisper White and the other from Rose Red cardstock.  Cut the Rose Red tag into four sections and adhere behind the Whisper White tag to allow the edges to show (there will be a few gaps that the roses and leaves will cover).

Ink the script stamp from Notable Notions using Rose Red Classic Ink and repeatedly stamp over the Whisper White tag.

Add the leaves (cut with the Bird Builder Punch from Wild Wasabi cardstock) and roses to the tag.  Adhere the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Stamp the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes using Rose Red Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock and punch out using the Word Window punch.  Add to a layer of Rose Red cardstock punched with the Modern Label Punch and add to the tag/card front. 

Adhere the triple bow created from retired ½” Striped Wild Wasabi Grosgrain Ribbon and Pearls to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets: Notable Notions, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: Rose Red

Paper: Whisper White, Rose Red, Wild Wasabi

Accessories: Big Shot™,  Spiral Floral Originals™ Die, Chalk Talk Framelits™, Modern Mosiac Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder, Punches- 2 ½” Circle, Word Window, Modern Label, Bird Builder, Pearls, retired ½” Wild Wasabi Striped Grosgrain Ribbon

Thanks again for visiting- have a wonderful Sunday!!
