Orange Poppies

SweetStamps.com has a new release featuring some wonderful new items which include stamps, stencils and new products from the Globecraft and Piccolo line.   

My card features an image from the new set Poppy Garden which I stamped to a Spellbinder die cut panel and masked off to add the Memory Box mesh stencil design using Ranger Distress Ink - Black Soot.

The image was colored with Chameleon Pens: OR4 was touched to RD4 which created a darker center and NU3 was colored over all the blossoms to tone down the orange.  I added the blue shading with a blender pen and chalks.

Masculine card

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to our Masculine Birtdhay challenge!

Irit is here and also it's a lst day to enter this challenge, you still have pretty much time to do so.

Here is my card made for this challenge: masculine colors and very general sentiment, but then it's just a good fit for the challenge.

First I made a background with Memory box mask : Texture distressed grid  and distress inks.
Then I made the focal panel with new released Backgrounds stamp using my favorite resist emboss technique: clear ink, white embossing powder and then  a lot of inking over the embossed image.
I used ATC white cardstock and then matted it over ATC black one with a bit of edge cutting.

I made the embellishment with Globecraft/Piccolo bird cage chipboard covered with embossing enamel and layered over the background shape and just added a piece of twine.
The sentiment was made with the new gorgeous sentiment set and my card was all done.
Seams like a lot of techniques, but then it's easy to make card.
Now it's your turn: just  one more day to enter the challenge! Go for it and you can win!

My garden makes everyone happy!

Hello my dear crafty friends! Today is my turn to show you my Garden creation made for our Sweet Stamps new weekly challenge. I know that its the last day to enter this challenge, but then who knows? You can do a card or another GARDEN PROJECT and even to  win!

So here is my card for today: stamped Mixed Media card made with   one of the new in SS shop Memory box stencils: Modern Blooming Frame.

I used a light green colored texture paste  with this stencil and then misted the white cardstock with blue mist to get this look of my background.

Next step was to make my stamped panel and it was stamped with Wildflowers SS stamp in black. To make it pop I added some red blings over each flower  center and some glitter glue over the petals.

Finally I stamped this lovely sentiment from the new SS Simple Sentiments set. I love this font a lot and it's  a must to have set!

And now it's your turn! Enter our weekly challenge and you can win!

Christmas tag challenge with Shelly

Hi!  I had some Distress Ink fun with my tag!

- I dabbed the ink onto a Non-stick Craft mat, spritzed with water and dragged the tag through it. I started with the lightest color and worked up to the darker blue- dabbing less ink on for the darker colors.  I dried each color before using the next shade. (I used Salty Ocean, Broken China and Faded Jeans).
- Next, I added light modeling paste through the Memory Box 'Brilliant' stencil. Once dry, I sponged Faded Jeans ink lightly over the top of it.
-Next I added the SweetCuts dies- the deer was cut from Coordinations cardstock, the leaves from a SU Green.
- For the snowflake accents- I used Turquoise Lagoon enamel embossing powder and silver rhinestones.
- The seam binding is dyed to match the blues by dabbing ink onto the craft mat and spritzing with water.  I did a little 'direct to seam binding' to get some variation of color, spritzing with water after dabbing on the ink.

***Tip- for added texture and depth- I dabbed the enamel embossing adhesive around the edge of the tag and sentiment, and embossed the edges with Turquoise Lagoon enamel EP.

Thanks for stopping by today- we'd love to see your Christmas tag for the challenge!
