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! 

Fall Colors with leafy dry embossed background card

I found this beautiful background in “the drawer”. It’s dry embossed with a Darice embossing folder. I covered the background with Distress Oxide and sprayed it with Dylusions Shimmer Spray. I wrapped the rust-colored ribbon down the center of the embossed background and secured it around the backside. Then on top of the ribbon is a piece of patterned paper by The Paper Studio. I used my Cricut to cut out the sentiment. The leaves and the die cut in the center are by Spellbinders. Thanks for looking.

Hope You are Back on Your Paws Soon Card

I really like this card. I found the dog stamp by Stamp n Plus and colored with Copic markers, in the images drawer. Behind the dog is a Creative Memories sticker. Behind the Creative Memories sticker is a chiffon ribbon. Behind the chiffon ribbon is a white piece of cardstock that was dry embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, inked with Distress Ink, and sprayed with a gold shimmer spray.

Same Dog stamp

I turned a Fan into Butterfly on my Scalloped Circle Card

This card base is pre-made by Recollections. I inked the whole thing with distress ink and sprayed it with Dylusions golden mist. The main butterfly is a fan that I cut in half. The fan die cut has been in my stash for years and I  wanted to get rid of it. There was a challenge to use something Japanese and so I came up with this idea. The rhinestones and other green butterflies are f rom my stash. The sentiment die cut is by Lawn Fawn.

Thanks for looking. Warning, I have a lot of Christmas cards coming up in the next few weeks..

Floral Friday Background Die Cut Cards

The pretty floral die-cut for my cards today is by Sizzix.

For the Best wishes card, I sprayed the white die cut wish Dylusions shimmer spray. The sentiment is a Cricut cut. It has a shadow patterned paper houndstooth. The epoxy stickers are by Cloud 9 (Fiskars).

The second card uses the same die but this time I colored in the pattern with Copic markers. I then added some Stickles, which I don't love but oh well. The stamped sentiment by Fiskars is on a Spellbinders die cut. The oval ring is by Creative Memories.

Manly Monday It's "Time" To Celebrate Cards part 2

For each of my cards today, I used an embossing folder by Darice. The sentiment was made with alphabet stamps from Close to my Heart. The word stamps are from The Paper Studio. I also used distress ink on the edges of most.

1st card: Patterned paper by Bazzill. 

The die cut is from Spellbinders.

The circle was cut out using the Creative Memories cutting system.
