Manly Monday Life is Short Mix things up Wobbler card

I made this card for, you guessed Craft Roulette episode 210

The parameters were:

Project: Include action 

Colors: Northern Lights 

Element: Blackboard 

Random: Oval

Here is my card on Craft Roulette’s website.

I dry embossed white cardstock with a Tim Holtz splatter folder. I messed up the embossed side so I flipped it over and used the debossed. Someone said, “there’s two sides to every paper”.

 I sprayed the debossed side with Dylusions white Linen Shimmer spray by Ranger and then while it was wet I took a soft bristle paint brush and started brushing the chalk all over it. The spray dried quickly so I had to move fast but still ended up doing it three times. I also dry embossed the top of the mixer die cut and  addd chalk to it too. I wanted it to look like the mixer exploded.

The shimmer paper is by Sizzix. The blackboard paper was a fuzzy texture but not obvious so it worked for me. It’s stamped with chalk ink by Colorbox. I lined the edge of the box with a white gel pen and then smeared it.

 Lastly, the black die cut is by Spellbinders and the white die is by Creative Expression. I forgot to mention that the blender was colored with Copic markers.

Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Cricut Valentine's Day Cards

Here a couple of Valentine's Cards that I cut out using my Cricut. 

It took a little bit of time, patience, and finesse to glue the intricate heart background onto the cardstock without glue getting everywhere.

I do love my Cricut when it cuts out designs like these so beautifully.

The sending stamp is by Lawn Fawn The bird stamp is by Stampin Up. I colored it in with colored pencils. The die-cut is by Spellbinders.

The pink LOVE sentiment is a Circut cut adhered to black cardstock.

For this next card, I used a Sizzix die-cut and inked the inside before taking the paper out. The "Sending" is a stamp by Lawn Fawn, the word "Paper" is an alphabet stamp set by Technique Tuesday and the word "Hugs" is a sticker by Flair.

Peace & Joy Card

It sparkles so much prettier in real life. I hate that the sun goes down so early nowadays. anyway. I did this card for the Tuesday Triggers: All That Glitters at Moxie Fab. I really like the silver and purple color combo and that is why I used silver embossing powder for the polka dots on the gray paper. Both the Gray and light purple paper are sprayed with a mixture of Perfect Pearls and water to give them that extra sparkle. The twine used on the banners is actually silver and glittery made by Inkadinkado.

Supplies: Cardstock by Sunborn; ribbon unknown; fiber by Inkadinkado; embossing powder by Stampendous, stamps by Fawn Lawn, Clear Dollar Stamps, Technique Tuesday, Hero Arts, Stampabilities and Stampin Up; banner by Cricut cartridge Lryical letters; ink Versamark, Ranger and Memento; Perfect Pearls by Ranger.

This card is for the following challenges:

Simon Says-nontraditional Christmas colors

Sweet Stampin Challenge-Make your own Background paper (polka dot paper)

Creative Card Crew-Anything goes

Papertake Weekly-non red and green card

One Stitch at a Time-Old stash- paper is about three years old and ribbon is about 5 years old but all the letter stamps are new and the cartridge to make the banner is new.
