Happy Birthday Card

My next new card uses a new to me craft item called chalk markers by Chalkola. They are a marker that you can use on any non porous surface and then wipe away with a wet cloth. I've been experimenting with them for a couple of weeks and have some great posts coming up talking about them. They have a Facebook page for you to check out. There are a bunch of different videos on the markers for you to see.

For this card I used the marker as my ink for two stamps. The first one is the present in the circle. It is a clear stamp by, I think, Fiskars. I took the marker and colored the ink onto it and stamped on white cardstock. Since I used the chalk marker on paper if you swipe the present the ink will come off. I did the same thing for the stars in the background, however I did first and second generation stamping to see how I would like it. Since the markers weren't intended to be used on paper and the image may smear this card will be a family card. lol. My thought was I took the time to stamp them out I better make them into a card. This is an 11 layer card - Crazy, I know, right.

The coral/pink paper is by Color-Aid and black and white cardstock by recollections. The circle punches are by EK Success. The other patterned paper is by Kaisercrafts. The happy die is by Clearly Besotted and the birthday die is by Papertrey Ink.

Thanks for looking.

Smile Bottle Cap Card

So I made this card using a sketch at Scrapbook.com that you can see at the bottom of this post. The background cardstock is by Sunborn and I've stamped it with circle stamps by Stampin Up. Then I inked the edges with distress ink and an ink blending tool.The next layer is the dark brown and I'm not sure exactly where that came from but the lighter strip of patterned paper on the right is by Studio Calico. The pennant in the middle is kraft cardstock by Oriental Trading Co and I've dry embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder. The dark brown cardstock is by Stampin Up and the white is by Recollections. I think the die cut is one by Lifestyle Crafts but don't quote me on that because I don't own the dies. I use to have a friend that I could borrow her dies for a week or more and die cut a ton of them out. 

But anyway, the bottle cap is by The Paper Studio, the smile sticker is by Studio 112, and the epoxy sticker over that is by Epiphany Crafts. I did run the bottle cap through my Cuttlebug to flatten it out a little bit more. I also adhered a one and a half inch circle punch behind it. Same kraft cardstock as mentioned earlier.

Deep Red Stamps Dress cards

Today I have two similar cards to share using a dress stamp by Deep Red Stamps that you can find at

A Cherry on Top

or

Scrapbook.com

I heat embossed each dress with Versa Mark ink and silver embossing powder by Hero Arts. Then I colored the dress in with powdered chalk mixed with white paint. It's a very soft pink color which matched the patterned paper by Making Memories. I die cut the image out with a Spellbinders die and then added Stickles to the flowers. The heart die cut is by Lawn Fawn and the rub-on sentiment is by Kaisercrafts. The grey cardstock is from Joann's.

For my second card, I fussy cut the dress out instead of using a die cut. I stamped the Stampin Up sentiment with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed it in silver. I punched the sentiment out using an EK Success punch as well as the next largest circle out of the grey cardstock from Joann's. The ribbon is by Fiskars.
