Leftover Kitty

Waste not, want not. I do not throw anything away that may still be useful. Did you know that I even punch dots out of scraps to use in shaker cards? What do you do with your scraps? 

Stamps:

   Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:

   Daffodil Delight A-2

   Glossy Paper 5-1/2 x 3-1/2

   Leftover Pieces

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Punching

Accessories:
   Cat Punch

   Fast Fuse

   Adhesive

First, I adhered a leftover Alcohol ink panel to the center of a Daffodil Delight card base. The panel is made up of a few alcohol inks applied onto glossy paper and then allowed to dry.

I then adhered the two leftover white arrows to the center of two Basic Black Squares. These are the leftover panes from the window frame, and the arrows are leftover from the Classic Label Punch.

Next, I adhered a couple more small strips of the alcohol ink background onto two more Basic Black Squares. 

I stamped and punched a sentiment and a Cat. 

Next, I arranged all of the pieces onto the card front and adhered them.

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

I followed the tutorial found at SCS for Alcohol Ink Baubles. There are written instructions along with a short video. Check it out.

I heat embossed the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder on the bottom of the Early Espresso panel. Make sure to wipe the panel down with the embossing buddy before you begin.

I die cut ornaments from the alcohol ink backgrounds and adhered them onto the panel, and onto a gold foil circle.

Next, I adhered the Early Espresso panel onto the Very Vanilla card front. 

I added a few sequins and adhered a Very Vanilla panel to the inside the card.

Hello Silhouettes

I think this is one of the easiest baby wipe techniques to use. I applied only one color at a time. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Just Believe

   A Dozen Thoughts

Paper:

   Daffodil Delight A-2

   Glossy Paper 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Jet Black Staz On

Re-Inkers:

   Basic Gray

   Soft Sky

   Cherry Cobbler

   Pumpkin Pie

   Daffodil Delight

   Sahara Sand

Technique:

   Striped Wipe 

Accessories:

   Baby Wipes

   Adhesive

I somewhat followed the technique found at SCS for the Striped Wipe technique.

I decided to apply only one color at a time, blending each color with the previous one. I still wanted the swiped look on the card, so I didn't smooth the ink out too much. I applied the colors in the order listed above.

Once the panel was dry, I stamped the silhouettes and the sentiment as shown above. 

Next, I adhered the panel to the Daffodil Delight card front.

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

   Glossy White 5 x 3-3/4

First, I added a bit of alcohol to my alcohol ink applicator pad.

I then dropped some green and burgundy drops of ink onto the pad.

Next, I dabbed the glossy white panel with the applicator, until I had the panel covered.

I let it dry for a couple of minutes. 

Next, I adhered it to the Garden Green panel and tied a Bravo Burgundy ribbon around the panel.

I then adhered it to the Bravo Burgundy card front.

Next, I stamped the fir tree, using Garden Green, onto the Ivory panel. I tore the bottom edge.

I then adhered it onto the Bravo Burgundy panel and stamped the greeting on the bottom of the panel.

Next, I added a couple of brads to the two top corners of the panel and attached it to the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card. You can use Ivory or Vanilla if you like.

Tempting You

Use alcohol inks to create a unique background. You can easily use a straw or compressed air to spread the inks across your glossy paper. As you can see, I used a straw, which left the Wild Plum rather dark. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   I Like You

Paper:

   Tempting Turquoise A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Glossy White 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Alcohol Inks:

   Stream

   Butterscotch

   Wild Plum

Technique:

   Blow Art

Accessories:

   Straw

   Adhesive

First, I added a drop of alcohol ink to the Glossy White panel.

I then used a straw to blow the ink across the panel. 

Next, I repeated these two steps, adding a drop at a time, varying the colors on the panel, until it was covered.

I then set it aside to dry for a minute. It does not take long at all.

Next, I stamped a sentiment on the bottom left of the panel.

I then stamped the florals on the rest of the card.

Next, I adhered it to a Basic Black matte, and then onto the Tempting Turquoise card front.

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