Starry Sky for Scrapbooking with M.E. Boutique

 Hey guys!  Todays post is my final Guest DT project with Scrapbooking with M.E. Boutique.  This card is fairly simple.  We have some ink blending using colors from the second set of the Distress Oxides with a stencil and some BoBunny Glitter Paste over the top.  What I love about the glitter paste is that it picks up the color of whatever ink you put underneath it, so it looks almost as if it's lit from behind; such a cool effect.  To finish it off, I added a strip of gold on the left side to tie in the gold on the die-cut sentiment.  Simple, yet stunning.  This technique offers such a plethora of variations, so I encourage you to break out you inks and stencils to see what you come up with.
Here is the link to the video tutorial on my YouTube channel and my supply list is below.

It's All About the Layers: Layered Stamping AND Layered Stenciling

The Pretty Petals stamp and die sets by Concord and 9th were sitting on my desk and it gave me the daydream of a tropical vacation.  This is a layering stamp set and would be beautiful in endless color combinations.  The trick to remember with layering sets is that you want to use your lightest color first and work towards your darkest color.  Using a MISTI makes these sets super easy to be successful with and so much fun.  I've also layered the stenciling in the background with ink blending and texture paste, opening up another area of endless possibilities.  What stencils do you have that would look awesome layered?  It's such an easy way to add color and texture to your projects.  Here is the link to the video tutorial on my YouTube channel and my supply list is below.


 Supplies:
Concord & 9th Pretty Petals S&D
SSS inks: Duckling, Apricot, Sunkist

 Welcome to the 9th card of my Handmade Christmas Series for 2016.  The background of this card was a bit of an experiment.  I had been playing around with Colorburst (powdered watercolor pigments) and wondered if I could get a striped look, hoping I wouldn't get mud.  It worked and I love the results!  It is gorgeous!  Here is the link to the video tutorial on my YouTube channel if you want to see how I created this card from start to finish.  My supply list is below.

Supplies:
Hero Arts Crossing Waves stencil
Strathmore 140 lb watercolor paper
Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle and Banner dies
Colorburst: Pthalo Green and Alizaron Crimson
BoBunny Sugar Glitter Paste
Vellum
Stick-It sheet adhesive
Versamark
Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder
Penny Black Rejoice with Joy
Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock
Red glitter enamel dots

The possibilities are really endless with this technique and I encourage you to try it out and have fun with it!  I love seeing the different colors bloom in the texture paste and no two are the same.

Be sure to let me know what you think and I'm always happy to answer any questions.  Thanks for stopping by and Merry Christmas!!

Happy Halloween with Infinity Engravings LLC

Happy Halloween!  Infinity Engraving has teamed up with Sasayaki Glitter so the design team is pairing IE die cuts with SG digital images to create fun and dynamic projects.  I started my project with the girl and wheelbarrow full of skulls image, using Word to resize the image and printing it out on Copic friendly cardstock.  After die cut and colored the image, I created a mask and placed my stencil.  To create the stars on the background, I combined glitter paste and powdered watercolor, removing the mask while the paste was still wet.  After the paste was dry, I added two shades of purple around the edges, leaving the center of the panel fairly light.  I applied two layers of embossing powder to the ghost die cut and mounted him with foam squares.  Here's the video tutorial on my YouTube channel if you'd like to see how I created this card from start to finish and my supply list is below.

Supplies:
Sasayaki Glitter digital image

Avery Elle Stitches frame die

2015 Christmas Project Series Day 10: CAS Flip It Card 4 ways

Todays project is a Clean And Simple Flip It card using a die by Stephanie Bernard.  There are several shapes for this type of die and this particular one spoke of Christmas to me.  As you'll see, its a single peice of cardstock that folds into a standard 4.25 by 5.5 inch card and the middle shape flips when it's opened.  I leave the inside blank to provide space to write a message to the recipient.  Let's get started! I made 4 cards for this post.
Heres my supply list:

•  Cardstock cut to 6 by 6.5 inches

1.  Blackberry Bliss by Stampin Up
2.  Kraft by Simon Says Stamp
3. Schoolhouse Red by Simon Says Stamp
4. Neenah Solar White 110 lb.

• Patterned Paper

1. Lawn Fawn Snowy Day Collection
2. Bo Bunny Altitude Collection

• Sizzix Flip-It Die set by Stephanie Bernard
• Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflakes dies
• Simon Says Stamp Snowflake dies
• Stampin Up glitter paper in Iridescent Ice
• Doodlebug glitter paper in White
• Royal Blue metal sheets (company went out of business)
• My Minds Eye Jubilee enamel shapes
• tape runner
• Tombow Mono Multi
• Zots Bling mini glue dots
• Creative Design Bling sequins in Glacial Bliss

I start by trimming my cardstock to 6 by 6.5 inches.  I line up the die to the edges of my cardstock and run through my big shot.  The die will cut and score the cardstock for you.  All you have to do is fold, crease and decorate as desired.








I'm using a sheet from Bo Bunny's Altitude collection to die cut two panels that will go on the front of my card.

 These papers are from Lawn Fawn's Snowy Day collection.  I like how these dies are seperate as you can line them up to get the pattern or scene on the paper that you want on the card.

 The set also comes with dies to embellish and emboss that fit the cutouts. 

 These four cards came together in about 30 minutes.  I kept these three fairly simple by finishing them with foam squares under the inner medallion or outer wreath for dimension and a bow enamel sticker on the red and green wreathes and die cut snowflake on the sheet music wreath.  I added a bit more to the purple card with sequins and die cut metal snowflakes as well as a die cut glitter snowflake over the middle medallion.  I used Tombow liquid glue to adhere the die cut snowflake and Zots Bling glue dots to attach the sequins and metal snowflakes.

Thanks for hanging out with me today!  I hope you had fun and learned something new.  Feel free to ask any questions and let me know what you think!

Merry Christmas and much love!
