Sending Hugs & Kisses Mini Slimline Card

March 8, 2022

Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. I have a card to share using the new Daffodils Dies. I made this card about 2 months ago and thought a sky background with the yellow Daffodils would pop them. Little did I know then what these 2 colors together represented. It saddens me deeply with what is happening in Ukraine. I am sending prayers for all of Ukraine along with the rest of the World. Be strong and Be Safe!

Below is the steps to create your own card.

Step 1 – Trim White Soft Finish Cardstock to 7” x 6”, score at 3 1/2” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (Mini Slimline)

Step 2 – Diecut Fitted Oval using a Masking Sheet. Place the negative to the card front. Apply Ink of your choice using a Blender Brush in Hues of Blue starting with the lightest in the center and working out to darkest. The inks I used are water reactive so I splashed some water using a fan brush. You can skip this step. Remove the mask and let dry.

Step 3 – Diecut Daffodils using White Soft Finish Cardstock. Keep the pieces together and color in each piece using any color medium of your choice. I used Copics. See photos below so the colors I used. Assemble and adhere to card using Kid’s Choice Glue.

Step 4 – Diecut Sentiments 2 – Just Because (sending) using White Soft Finish Cardstock. Keep diecut inside and Stamp the coordinating sentiment (sending) using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. Adhere to card using Foam Tape.

Step 5 – Stamp Bear Hugs sentiment using Versamark on Black Cardstock. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder and remove the excess. Heat set it with a Heat Tool. Trim and adhere to card using Foam Tape.

This card can be used for many occasions by simply changing the sentiment. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

It’s The Little Things with a Hydrangea Hello!

March 7, 2018

Hi,

Kelly Booth here today with a card suitable for any occasion.  I’m quite fond of hydrangeas as I used to have them in my yard when I lived in Northern California. Here in Arizona they do not grow and it makes me sad. I love the realistic nature of the Susan’s Garden dies and am having lots of fun playing with them.

Here is the card I made for today’s tutorial.

Shimmer Sheetz Sunday: Watermelon Coasters

July 30, 2017

Shimmer Sheetz Sunday: Watermelon Coasters
By Judi Kauffman

Did you know that Shimmer Sheetz is waterproof, colorfast, and garment quality? This makes it ideal for projects where durability is important, like jewelry, spangles for clothing, art quilts, and mixed media; floral picks, garlands to use outdoors, and home décor items like today’s project – Watermelon Coasters.

When I think of watermelons I think of ovals – the shape prior to cutting into wedges, but your coasters can be circles if you prefer to more closely match the base of a wine goblet or water glass. Or you could make squares or rectangles. The key is to evoke the spirit of this luscious summer fruit rather than worrying about being realistic. The colors tell the story!

I chose two die sets, Fitted Ovals and Stitched Ovals. If you prefer, stick to one set, or further mix and match, adding in a Dotted Scallop Oval for the white part of the rind. The dot pattern embossing folder I used for one of the coasters has the feel of seeds, though it’s a repeat pattern. The black seeds on the more realistic of the two coasters are the little ovals left after cutting Basic Black Shimmer Sheetz with a Ribbons 2 die (the pieces that come out of the long strip). I thought they provided just the right touch!

Another option: Instead of making cork-backed coasters, skip the backing, cut the oval (or circle) in half or into quarters and add the watermelon wedges to birthday cards, party invitations, gift tags, or an art journal!
