Butterfly Glass

I need to play with this faux glass tile technique some more. Can embossing powder ruin over time? I don't know if there was something wrong with the powder, of if I just heated it too long. Watch the video and give it a try.

Jeweled Balloon

Create your own background panel, using strips of leftover designer series paper. They don't even have to be the same width. As long as the length is the same, you can make it work. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Lift Me Up

Paper:

   Very Vanilla A-2, 4-1/2 x 3-1/4, Scrap

   Real Red DSP Strips

   Basic Black 2-5/8 x 3-1/2

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Punching

Accessories:

   Up & Away Thinlits Dies

   Washi Label Punch

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Washi Tape

   Dimensionals

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Adhesive

First, I pulled some leftover strips out of the Real Red DSP pack. 

I then adhered them onto the Very Vanilla panel. Flipping every other one to establish a pattern.

I then attached this panel to the Very Vanilla card front, centering it on the top part of the card. 

Next, I added a strip of Washi tape to even out the bottom of the card.

I then die cut the hot air balloon, using the Up & Away Thinlits Dies. 

Next, I adhered it, using the Fine Tip Glue Pen.

I then stamped, punched, and attached the sentiment with dimensionals.

Lastly, I added some Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the balloon.

Printing Four

Make four cards from one large panel. Stamp a 10-1/2 x 8" panel in a pattern. Then cut it into four card fronts, measuring 5-1/4 x 4. Attach each one to a card front to make four cards. Thoughts?

Next, I stamped the smaller berry branch, using Blackberry Bliss.

I then filled in the rest of the areas with splashes of Pool Party.

Watercolor Fear

Do you feel like getting a bit artsy? Here's a watercolor gem for you to try. I am going to choose lighter colors on my next one. Check it out. 

Stamps:

   Rose Wonder

Paper:

   Hello Honey A-2, 5 x 3-3/4

   Tangelo Twist 5-1/4 x 4

   Watercolor 4-3/4 x 3-1/2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Re-Inkers:

   Hello Honey

   Tangelo Twist

Technique:

   Watercolor Runs

Accessories:

   Adhesive

First, I sprayed the watercolor panel with plenty of water.

I then added a drop of re-inker and let it run by moving the panel in a direction (up, down, sideways, diagonally, etc.).

Next, I repeated the previous step using both Hello Honey and Tangelo Twist.

I then set the panel aside and let it dry completely before proceeding. 

I adhered the Hello Honey panel onto the Tangelo Twist panel and then onto the Hello Honey card front.

Once, the watercolor panel was completely dry, I stamped the sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and adhered it onto the card front.

Lastly, I added a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Kidney Stone

When it comes to feelings, I choose happy. I am an optimist with rose-colored lenses. Does this mean I never feel sad, angry, disappointed, etc.? Of course not, but since I am in control of how I feel, I choose happy. So, I like the humor on this card. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   A Little Snarky (Sweet 'N Sassy)

   Melon Mambo A-2, Scrap

   Pop of Pink DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), Scrap

Ink:

   Melon Mambo

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Stitched Rectangle Framelits

First, I stamped and die cut the sentiment, using Melon Mambo ink and the Stitched Rectangle Framelits.

I then adhered the sentiment onto a Melon Mambo matte, also die cut from the same framelits.

I then attached the sentiment, using dimensionals.

Tiles

I like die cuts that you can manipulate. Obviously, I left it alone for this card. It does cover the entire card front. Still, I could cut it at an angle to form another shape, or straight forward to make it smaller. Ideas? 

Tiles

Stamps:

   Many Mates

Paper:

   Wisteria Wonder A-2

   Almost Amethyst 5-1/2 x 4-1/4

   Basic White 2-1/2 x 1-3/4, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Almost Amethyst

Technique:

   Sponging

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Many Medallions Dies

   Something Fancy Dies

   Whisper White 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon - 24"

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Sponge

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the tiles, using Many Medallions Dies.

I then threaded the ribbon through the top of the die cut as shown above. The ribbon comes from behind into the first opening on the right, over the first tile and back into the back of the tiles and up through the center of the tiles. The same on the left side. You tie the ribbon into a bow and trim the tails.

Next, I attached the die cut to the Wisteria Wonder card front, using glue dots.

I then stamped, die cut, and sponged the sentiment, using the Something Fancy Dies. I sponged on some Almost Amethyst ink around all of the edges.

Next, I attached the sentiment to the card front.

Lastly, I added a few rhinestone jewels and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here are three other cards I made with different sentiments:

Brilliant Washi

Can you believe I stamped my own washi tape? What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Postage Collection

   Postage Due

   Silhouette Scenes

Paper:

   Only Orange A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), Leftover Strips

Ink:

   Elegant Eggplant

   Poppy Parade

   Only Orange

   Brilliant Blue

   Island Indigo

   Bermuda Bay

   Blushing Bride

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Handmade Washi Tape

Accessories:

   Star Designer Elements

   Adhesive

First, I taped two strips of leftover Basic White paper together. I made sure the strips are touching each other. the tape is placed at the ends of the strips to keep them from moving. I taped three or four sets. 

I then gathered stamp sets that had small images, various ink colors, and stickers.

Next, I randomly stamped various images, using various colors, onto the strips of Basic White.

I then decided to grab the Blushing Bride ink pad and slightly swipe it across the strips of paper to tone down the white. (You could also sponge or brush on the color or even use various colors.)

Next, I added a few circle stickers that I had. You want to place the entire sticker on only one strip.

I then took the strips apart and cut them to whatever size I needed for my creation. I did use every bit on various cards.

Once, my washi tape was made, I adhered two strips on each side of a Basic White panel.

I then stamped the girl silhouette image and sentiment in the center of the panel, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Next, I added another strip of my washi tape on the bottom of her feet.

I then adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte, and then onto the Only Orange card front.

Lastly, I added a few Star Designer Elements and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
