Who Loves Ya

I love this cute little owl from the Who Loves Ya set. I colored her in and decided to color the hearts red for Valentines Day instead of the usual green for the leaves. I popped up the scalloped circle using 3D tape. The tree branch was done using a shade of green underneath and colored again using a deep brown color to give it a green tint. This set is available in the shop under new products.

Foiled Valentine

Josette here with my Tuesday Card.  This is a simple but impressive card.  I made this for my grand daughters valentines.  I needed something that I could reproduce quickly and mass produce as well.  She enjoyed helping me out with the design and of course loved using my MINC.

I used the new stamp set: You Make My Heart Sing, to create this card which is an A2 size.

This was very difficult to photograph.  All of the black is a foiled color.  The bird is blue and everything else is Red.  

Here I was able to get a glimmer of the red on the heart.  

How this card was made:  stamp in a dark black ink and then scan.  Print the scan on a laser printer and I used Heidi Swapp's Minc machine on this card.  There are many videos and instructions on how to get foil onto Stamped images.  I chose the easiest way for me.  Final step was to add some Bling, mount on a red card base.  After making more that 40 of these, I am a pro and foiling!!

Happy Crafing,

Will be back next week with another card

Love in the Air

Good day everyone, Josette here with another Tuesday card for Sweet Stamps.    Again I used the new released and combined 2 sets.  I think this could either be a baby shower, wedding shower or Valentine card.  What do you think?

Here is how I created the background.

I used the die on the right to create a mask and inked with Broken China and Tumbled Glass, both distress inks using an ink blending tool.   I kept moving the mask around to get variation.  After inking, I cut it down to an A2 size.  Added a sun and clouds.  Some were popped up on 3D foam tape and others were adhered directly to paper.  A few small clear sequins finished the look.

The bear was colored with copic markers and fussy cut.  He was then popped up using  foam tape.

Another view, see how the fur has been mottled using colorless blender.  Double click to get a good look.  After everything was finished, I added a bow and mounted the card onto the white card base.  The sun was trimmed to the edge of the card.

Thank you for stopping by
Until next week,
Happy Crafting
