Layering Happy Birthday card

This card has many layers to it so here we go. All of the square die cuts including the label are by Spellbinders. The sentiment stamp and its ink are by Hero Arts. The background cardstock is by Coredinations/Tim Holtz and the sheer ribbon was a scrap.

The flower, if you would call it that, is a Sizzix stamp and die combo. I stamped it with pigment ink by Colorbox, let it dry and die cut it out with the matching die. I put the flower on foam squares before adding it to the rectangle. I'm impressed with how nicely the die cut came out. Usually, my stamp/die combos take a bunch of tries to get them aligned. 

The blue frame square was made previously, that's code for a really long time ago, and I kept it because there was a chunk of this background piece that was still a good size to use on a later project. Now why I kept the negative of this square die cut will never be known but to my advantage today the colors worked out well. The watercolor paper by Ranger was covered with powdered chalk mixed with water and an iridescent white paint all of which were by Stamp N Plus, a company I worked for but is no longer in business.


Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look at this long post for just one little card.

Robyn's Fetish DT Square Masculine Campfire card

This week's challenge at Robyn's Fetish Challenge is SQUARE CARDS. This is something I rarely do so I had a blast with this challenge. We are sponsored by Paper Pretties. I just love the campfire image. It will also go great on a scrapbook layout. 


I used my powdered chalks mixed with paint to color in the image and distressing ink around the edges. 
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.

Thanksgiving Day Cricut Cornucopia card

I am very thankful for my little family. My husband is so amazing and gives me unconditional love every day. My baby girl is such a joy to have around. I can't imagine life without her. With all that being said I have a Thanksgiving day card to share today. I made the cornucopia and leaf with my Cricut's Autumn Celebrations cartridge. The sentiment stamp is by Stampin Up and it's embossed with Ranger embossing powder. The background stamp is by Anne Griffins with ink and Perfect Pearls by Ranger Industries. I used green Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels on the green cardstock behind the sentiment. Thanks for stopping by. See you tomorrow with a new tutorial.

Imaginisce Prom Layout

This week I took a small break from the blog land action to work a few things out. So far it's been a better week then the previous 3 or 4 and with that I'm going to stay optimistic. Coping/dealing with the stress of medical issues has become a puzzle that needs to be solved. I have found a few pieces and have attached them for my own sanity, which I am thankful God lead me to those coping remedies and many other things. 
Today's layout features my niece's Prom pictures from this past May. I used the Garden collection from Imaginisce and love the way it turned out. The flower rub ons in the Spellbinders die cuts are from the Twitter patted collection. 


Trying the close up shots again.


CS is by Dollar General; cross is by Colorbok; embossing powder by The Powder Keg; circle stamp by CTMH; border punch by EK Success; Silver paper in title by CM; Stickles and liquid pearls by RI; kraft CS by OTCo; rhinestones by Basic Grey.

The title die cut comes from Cricuts cartridge Locker Talk. That one takes a while to get the best results but I was pleased with it's sparkle and how well it matched the patterned paper. Here's a few pictures of the production of decorating the die cut.
This first one is where I marked off where the frame would be so not to lose it in the glitter. Then I placed white Martha Stewart glitter glue down on the "ribbon" and topped it with MS green glitter for added dimension.


This next picture is the completion of the glitter on the "ribbon".


The picture below shows the start of the black Stickles for the frame of the die cut. Multiple layers of Stickles are needed to give the die cut full coverage.


And then I didn't (forgot to) take a photo in between the next step and the final product. The next picture is what the die cut looks like on the layout except I think I filled in that kraft colored corner )upper left) with Liquid Pearls by RI.


Thanks for stopping by and checking out my layout.
