Multi Colored Metallic Embossed Thank You Card

Hi my friends!
Today, I am here to share this card showcasing the popular set from Right At Home called Grateful Heart.  It has been one that I have used a lot over the past month.  It just has so many different and great images and sentiments for the fall season!

Today, I wanted create a card design with multiple metallic embossing powders, so I created a background using the thank you sentiment first, and stamping it with my Versa Mark ink, and embossing it with Liquid Platinum embossing powder.  I wanted to give a finished edge or border so I used the Holiday Ribbons stamp set to create this look, and I embossed it in Silver embossing powder.

Then, I really wanted to incorporate some Rose Gold embossing powder, so I stamped the pumpkin from the set onto a piece of vellum that I die cut with a cross stitched rectangle die.  I also wanted to give it a distressed edge and bring out more the Rose Gold embossing powder, so I coated the all four edges of my vellum piece and them embossed it with that gorgeous powder.  

I die cut my main panel using the rectangle frames from the Find The Beauty die set, and I tape them together to also create a frame.  I also did the same with a piece of pattern paper to compliment the embossing through out my design.  

I put all of my pieces together on my A2 white card base, and popped up my frame.  

I felt like I need something to finish off my card, so I added a few rose gold, sparkling clear and silver sequins.  And, that completes my card for today!  I love all of the different embossing looks on one card.  

Thanks for stopping by today!!  Be sure to visit the Right At Home Shop as the awesome Fall and Holiday is now available, AND there are coordinating dies for a lot of the sets for the release available now too!!  

Stay Crafty!

Cup of Cheer | Paper Piecing and Copic Coloring| Sunny Studio Stamps

Happy Sunday!!  I took a little blogging break,  but I am back to share a new card tutorial with all of you!  Today, I wanted to play with Sunny Studio and their adorable set called Mug Hugs.  I was wanted to play with this To-Go cup!  It screamed to be paper pieced!

So, that is what I did,  I took a piece of water color card stock, and placed my card stock in my MISTI stamping tool, and inked up these cups, three times to make sure I got a crisp impression.

Then, I made masks for all three cups using some full adhesive post it notes, and covered them up to prepare them for some ink blending.  I wanted a soft back ground, so I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, and my Ink blending tool. Once I was happy with my background, I spritzed some water from my Distress Sprayer to create that fun distress look.

I chose three different pattern papers to paper piece my sleeves on my cup and all three patterns came from a different Lawn Fawn 6x6 paper pad.

I did color in my cups with some gray markers and I gave them some shadows and also used a Cool Gray marker for the lid.    I need to create some "grounding" for my cups, so I used one of the Stitched Scalloped Edge dies from Lawn Fawn, and I die cut some scrap card stock, and created this additional decorative element to my card design.

My sentiment comes from the same stamp set, and I added some shimmer using my Wink of Stella pen for a final touch. The full video tutorial is below, if you like to see how this card came together! Thanks for stopping by today and have a nice rest of your weekend!

Christy asked us to create a celebratory card, so I did just that, and I used a lot of Lawn Fawn products as she loves Lawn Fawn as well as one other stamp set from WPlus9 whom she also loves!

I created my own custom background with the "Oh Happy Day" sentiment and stamped that onto a piece of Fog card stock from Simon Says Stamp using the Manatee ink from Lawn Fawn.  I decided I wanted to cut a circle element from my panel, so I also took a piece of Peacock card stock from Lawn Fawn and created a framed panel to allow my Fog panel to stand out more.

I stamped out one of my favorite bird images from Lawn Fawn, and did some very simple coloring with a few Copic markers, and then die cut him out using the coordinating die.  I also used the Scripty Congrats Die from Lawn Fawn and used the same Peacock card stock and well as a piece of black card stock as I will adhere both of these die cuts together, and the black with create a drop shadow effect.  I did add some shimmer to the die cuts before adhering them together as that was easier.

Then I just put all of my elements together onto my white card base which is an A2 size card - 4.25 x 5.5

Celebrate featuring Right At Home stamps!

Hello all!  Today, I am featuring some Right At Home stamps both from the new release and from a previous release.  I love how that you can mix and match stamp sets no matter when they have been released, and make them work on your projects all year round.

I wanted to feature the new set Find The Beauty, which is a lovely builder set with fun flower images.  

I started by die cutting a piece of smooth white card stock, and a scallop frame from Pretty Pink Posh. On my white card panel, I took one of the flower images and stamped down the main solid image flower, and then took the builder images for the flower and stamped them using different colors of ink to really make it pop.  I wanted the center of the flower to stand out with the sentiment, so I stamped the middle flower accent, and took my powder tool to ensure that no embossing powder wouldn't stick to areas where I didn't want it, and then I used my Versa Mark ink, and stamped my image down, then coating it with Gold embossing powder and heat setting it.  I wanted leaves around my flower, so I took another one of the building images that suppose to accent another flower, and turned it into leaves.  I just made a mask for my flower and stamped my "leaves" to make it look like they were behind my flower.  

For my sentiment, I used the oh so popular Script Greetings, and used the Celebrate sentiment, and also embossed it in Gold embossing powder.  

To finish up my card, I took the scallop frame, and inked around it with an ombre' look, and then adhered that onto a piece of kraft and gold foiled pattern paper to really set off the gold accents on my card.  I adhered my main panels onto a 5 x 5 white card base.

I wanted to keep it fairly clean a simple as I wanted my focal images to take stage!

You can find the stamp sets and more of the latest release over at the Right at Home store!!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I will see you very soon!

5 Minute Card Challenge??!!??!! ( No editing )

Happy Sunday!!  I wanted to share a card with you I made and thought it would be a fun video for my YouTube Channel.  I challenged myself to make a card in 5 minutes!  I know, crazy?!  I am sure it could be done, but the route I took wasn't successful in accomplishing that feat!  HA!

It is quite alright though!!  It is not like I was saving the world in 5 minutes!!  :)

I did like the overall look of the card and decided to make another one, but of course not being pressured by the time clock, and enter this card into the Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge.  Both cards turned out fine I think, but I do love the deeper red and the added purple to my second card as well as the dimensional die cuts :)

I have the video below if you'd like to get a little chuckle at my expense!
