Manly Monday Chalk Markers Hello card

I stamped The sunrise and car with chalk markers. The car is a second generation stamp image. I added yellow, blue and green, distress ink to create the sunny scene. The car is from Tim Holtz and the sunrise and sentiment is unknown. 

I put that front panel onto a black card stock card base. 

This card was made for Craft Roulette #287. The parameters were: project – card with a hello. Colors – crisp. Element – Sunny. Random – pennant.

Thanks for looking. HAGD!

My card uses Stamp N Plus powdered chalk mixed with paint colored onto the pattern of the dry embossing folder by Cuttlebug. I used that same mixture to color the top of the Cricut Thanks die cut.

Fall Thanks Cards for Chalk Ah Lot Café

I forgot to post my Chalk Ah Lot card for the start of the last challenge. So today I will post both cards. The challenge is Thanks/Thankful/Thanksgiving with chalk. All of the powdered chalk I used on my two cards is by Stamp N Plus. I combine the powdered chalk with their paint and use a fine-tip paintbrush to apply the mixture to my card. I used many different colors for these two cards which can be found over on the right-hand side of the website.

For the first card, I stamped and heat embossed a cornucopia stamp by Stamp N Plus. Colored it in as told above and then inked the edges with distress ink. The image is matted onto patterned paper by DCWV and adhered to the card front with foam adhesive. The card front has patterned paper by K and Co, a doily by Little Yellow Bicycle, the ribbon by The Paper Studio, and a wooden feather by Maya Road that has been painted with red crackle paint by Ranger.

My second card is an embossing folder by Cuttlebug that I painted over the raised area. The sentiment is by Stamp N Plus and the orange paper behind is by CGull.

Thanks for looking.

1st Sunflowers Stencil with Embossing Paste and Chalk

Our challenge at Chalk Ah Lot, green with chalk, continues for another week. I made this card using a metal stencil with white embossing paste and let it dry completely. Then I took powdered chalk with Stamp N Plus colors Teddy Bear (brown), Lime (green), and Dandy (yellow) mixed with water and a paintbrush to paint the colors onto the raised surface. I had die cut the image and that shape didn't fit with the patterned paper scrap that I had so I cut off the sides of the die cut and distressed them with scissors and then distress ink. I add some pearls by Want 2 Scrap to the edges of the die cut and then on the sentiment to make my visual triangle.

The patterned paper is by Scribble Scrabble I distressed the edges with distress ink by Ranger. The yellow cardstock is unknown but I do know that it is embossed with a Gina Marie embossing folder called Victorian Lace. The sentiment stamp is by Gina Marie Stamps on Great Bible quotes stamp set. 

Thanks for looking.

Copper Embossing Paste Stenciled Background with Chalk

The challenge at Chalk Ah Lot is A Holiday with Chalk. The sponsor is Dreamweaver Stencils and I used their Leaf Texture stencil to create my card. I mixed Ritzy Powdered Chalk by Stamp N Plus with Dreamweaver Translucent embossing paste and applied it to the stencil onto white cardstock. After it dried I applied Ranger Distress ink to the paper and the card base. I sprayed both with water mixed with Perfect Pearls to give the card some more sparkle. 

The leaves with the acorns and the label seal are from 1955. They were in my Mother In Laws things when they moved her out of her home recently. I stamped a Gina Marie stamp from the All Seasons stamp set. It is stamped in brown ink by Stampin Up.

Thanks for looking.

Poinsettia Dreamweaver Stencils Embossing Paste Card

I made this card for the "A Holiday with Chalk" challenge at Chalk Ah Lot. My cardstock is both white and red by Recollections. The sentiment is a rub-on that is very old but the star is a puffy sticker by Martha Stewart, the Patterned paper is by Little Yellow Bicycle, and the white ribbon in the center is by Offray.

For my image, I applied white embossing paste onto the Large Poinsettia stencil by Dreamweaver Stencils and let it dry completely. The next day I used my first used old makeup brush to apply Stamp N Plus Silver {Glitzy} powdered chalk to the center of the flower. It was at that point I realized that there was still some blush on the brush. {Ugh-Are you kidding me?} So I applied Stardust powdered chalk to the whole poinsettia with my finger to maybe cover up the blush {yea right} and to give it some major sparkle. Then I took my Zig glue pen and applied glue to the inside of the flower followed by sprinkling white glitter over top. After shaking off the excess glitter, I was really happy with how it looked and applied a little bit more. 

Thanks for looking.

Supplies:

Large Poinsettia stencil

Dry Embossed background of Leaves with Chalk

Finally! After many hours, probably an ulcer and high blood pressure I have a photo to share with you. You see my last computer was full of bugs {not literally} and now I'm scared to death to download anything including photo editing software that may contain any of these malware buggies. I think I'm good now but still have some reorganizing to do with the new computer and then I will be able to post more daily than every couple of days I have been doing.

So my card is for the new Chalk Ah Lot challenge 

Leaves with Chalk

I used The Paper Studio embossing folder and lightly applied Dandy, Teddy Bear, Ginger, and Brick Powdered Chalk by Stamp N Plus to the debossed side of the Recollections cardstock. The paper behind the debossed cardstock is by Hot off the Press and the cardstock behind the stamped sentiment is by Bo Bunny. The stamp is by Inkadinkado and I used multiple Colorbox pigment inks to get it so colorful. After it dried I applied distress ink to the edges, working my way toward the center. Then I sprayed it with Copper Perfect Pearls with water. It's very pretty in real life. 

Thanks for looking and I hope I've inspired you to get out your chalks and join us at Chalk Ah Lot for the Leaves with Chalk challenge.

SWEET STRAWBERRY CARD for Chalk Ah Lot Die Cuts

UPDATED 8-29-21

All of the things about this card are from a company, blog, challenge, products that are no longer. So here is my cute card and all the BS from before is below.

This week at Chalk Ah Lot we are having 2 or more die cuts with chalk. The challenge will run for two weeks like it normally did and the limit is 3 projects per person. 

My card features 4+ die cuts; black behind strawberry, red behind strawberry, and green, and the sentiment is layered die cuts by Cricut. 

I used a strawberry stamp by Stamp N Plus to make my focal image. I used powdered chalk mixed with paint also by Stamp N Plus as my ink to stamp the strawberry. I show how to do this in a Tutorial.

That's all for now. Thanks for looking.

Sunflower Stencil with Embossing Paste and Chalk

For my card today I used Stamp N Plus powdered chalk with a paint regular paintbrush and water. The sunflower image is a metal stencil that I covered with white embossing paste. Then I colored in the paste with powdered chalk and a little bit of water. I used the powdered chalk colors Teddy Bear {Brown} for the center, Dandy {Yellow} for the petals, and Lime {Green} for the leaves. 

I die cut the image out with a Spellbinders die and inked the edges with Ranger's distress ink. The square-lined paper is old and I can't recall its maker. The sentiment is by Just Rite stamps stamped with Hero Arts black ink. The yellow patterned paper is by Sunborn and behind that is Basic Grey.

Thanks for looking.

Floral Stamp Colored in with Chalk Birthday Card

My card today is in sequence with the Chalk Ah Lot challenge going on right now and for the month of August. The challenge is anything goes with chalk. Click HERE to link up your chalk project and be in for a stamp set prize provided by me. 

For my card today I combined Stamp N Plus powdered chalk with paint and used the mixture to paint in this stamped image which is by Inkadinkado. You can find powdered chalk HERE and the paint I used HERE. Once I mix the two together I use a paintbrush to apply them to my image. I used watercolor paper for this card but have decided it's not necessary for this technique. The mixture doesn't really get wet enough to use the paper as it was intended. 

My patterned paper is by My Mind's Eye, border punch by Fiskars, pink-colored paper {It's not cardstock} by Color-Aid, die cut by Spellbinders, sentiment stamp by {I had to get up and look} Sarasota Stamps, {I use that one on the inside so much that I never have to reference its manufacturer, anywho...} The ink used in my card is by Stampin Up and Ranger Industries and my card base is by Recollections. 

 Thanks for looking.

Flower Vases with a Chalk Background Card

I'm posting this card for the Anything Goes challenge at Chalk Ah Lot.

I made my card using paint mixed with Stamp N Plus Stardust chalk and also their paint. Stunning look with this combination. Take a look.

I applied the mixture to a piece of thin patterned paper. Not much of a pattern but thin paper 

As you can see the mixture makes the paper distort until...

I run it through the Cuttlebug with an embossing folder. Isn't that a gorgeous-looking background? **I don't even want to put things on it. 

I finished the card off with minimal pieces to keep the person holding the card looking at the sparkle in the background.

I'm short on time (Hubby is waiting on me) so here are a few more photos.

You can get this Gina Marie embossing folder at Wholesalecraftingsupplies.com.

OK, Gotta go. Have a great rest of your weekend.

Nin's Handmade Cards

For my card this week I used the digi image Anime Hockey by Kenny K. I colored him in with colored pencils (Stampin Up and some unknowns) and partially die cut him out. The die cut I used by Quickutz is a long rectangle and I didn't have that much paper to die cut out. So I just die cut the image and cut the left edge straight. I matted that die cut onto red cardstock by DCWV. The #1 Boy is a stamp by Fiskars stamped in black Hero Arts ink.

This card is part of the chalk challenge at Chalk Ah Lot. The July challenge is anything goes with chalk sponsored by the fabulous Kenny K. I used chalk on the background. The background paper is a grid patterned by Recollections. I dry embossed it using a Darice embossing folder and my Cuttlebug. Then I applied red powdered chalk by Stamp N Plus to the whole piece of patterned paper. This chalk does not need to be sprayed for it to stay on the card. It won't rub away.

Let's Celebrate with Kenny K for the Chalk Ah Lot Café

Happy Sunday. I'm back again with the Chalk Ah Lot challenge of anything goes with chalk sponsored by Kenny K. I am using the Jasmine digi for my card. I printed her on watercolor paper by Ranger and colored her in with distress ink and a water pen. I then filled the glasses in with Glossy Accents which is also by Ranger. After all that business I die cut her out using a Spellbinders die and inked the inside with distress ink. The nice thing about this label 4 die is that there is a small and a large set. I like to mat the die with a smaller outside frame than the regular label dies to have. I'm not sure if it is a 1/8 or a 1/4 but it is definitely smaller than say label 1 from die to die.

My chalk is in the background. This new-to-me Darice embossing folder is quickly becoming my favorite and I had some leftover powdered chalk mixed with paint and decided to try it on the folder. I took a paintbrush and applied the mixture to one side of the folder then ran it through my Cuttlebug. I sprayed it with a little water mixed with Perfect Pearls and let it dry. I used watercolor paper by Strathmore and then the black cardstock is by Recollections.

The sentiment is by Paper Smooches and I inked the edges with distress ink.

Hop on over to Chalk Ah Lot and link up your chalk project today.
Thanks for looking.

Beach Ball Sassy with Sunray stenciled background for the Chalk Ah Lot Challenge

Today marks week 4 for the challenge at Chalk-Ah-Lot 

Anything goes with chalk and we are sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs.

 I used Polka Dot Bikini Sassy for my friend card. I colored her in with Copic markers and die-cut her out using a Design Objectives die. The Copic paper is Cryogen cardstock.

The sun rays are a Tim Holtz stencil that I applied Dandy Powdered chalk by Stamp N Plus with a cosmetic wedge. I love the look and can see doing it again if the style sells well. 

The card's base is by Recollections as well as the sentiment cardstock die cut. The sentiment is by Stampin Up stamped with Rangers Dusty Concord distress ink. The sentiment die cut is also by Design Objectives and the eyelets-yes old fashion eyelets- are by Making Memories. {Maybe they will make a comeback.}

The ribbon is by American Crafts and the patterned paper is by Stampin Up.

Thanks for looking.

Sassy Lager image for the Chalk Ah Lot Challenge DRiNK UP!

Back again for week 2 of the month-long challenge at Chalk Ah Lot. It's theme is anything goes with chalk and sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs. My card today features Lager Pin Up Sassy which I colored in with Copics and die cut her out with two Quickutz dies. I used a Sharpie poster paint pen for the air bubbles in the glass and Liquid Pearls by Ranger for the head of the beer. 

The image is layered onto a Paper Accents chipboard shape that I covered with Gem powdered chalk mixed with paint. Both of those products are by Stamp N Plus. The background cardstock is by Stampin Up. It is greyish with flecks throughout. I used a Tim Holtz stencil with Lime powdered chalk mixed with paint and used a stipple brush to apply the mixture. I love that it dries so quickly. By the time I cleaned the stencil and my brush the paper was ready to be worked on. 

I stamped a sentiment onto a Design Objectives label die cut with Hero Arts ink and attached it to the card front with brads by The Paper Studio.
