Day 4 Dare to Get Dirty

Supplies: Paper: black, white, and red glitter cardstock  Accessories: Silhouette cut file, American Crafts ribbon, glitter brad, dimensionals

This was a fun card to make.  I made a print and cut file on the Silhouette.  I cut the heart and printed the U.  I found some cute ribbon, and wanted a glitter brad.  I only had pastel colors so I used a black copic marker and colored it!

Supplies: Stamps: Snow Much Fun  Paper: GKD white heavy cardstock  Ink: Memento tuxedo black  Accessories: SU ribbon, snowflake brad, copic markers, liquid applique

I love Gina K's heavy base weight cardstock for one layer cards.  It really stands up to it all;  copic coloring, the heat needed for the liquid applique, etc.   I went a little crazy with the liquid applique on this one!  I love that stuff!

Supplies: Stamps: Stampendous, SU school lines Paper: kraft, white, and red  Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Versamark  Accessories: Papertrey die, copic markers, Zing red embossing powder

What is it about the imfamous Changito monkey?!  He is so gosh darn cute.  He is a fun image to color as well.  I decided to heat emboss my sentiment to make sure it would stand out against the kraft paper.

Supplies:  Stamps: Gina K  Paper: Gina K white  Ink: Memento tuxedo black and soft suede  Accessories: copic markers, Spellbinders, Papertrey die

I had my focal image layed out on my card base and thought it needed a little something something.  So I embossed a rectangle frame using my Spellbinders, popped up my focal image, and thought it added more dimension to the card.

Day 3 Dare to Get Dirty

Supplies: Stamps: Hero Arts  Ink: white craft  Paper: black and white cardstock  Accessories: Spellbinders, sponge, twine

This is my first attempt at the chalkboard technique.  I had a hard time wanting to make a dusty chalkboard, so mine is pretty clean! :)

Supplies: Stamps: Gina K  Ink: Memento tuxedo black  Paper: 6x6 paper pad, Sizzix die cut, Tim Holtz tinsel twine, red gem

I think these trees are so cute, had to make one.  I trimmed the bottom so it was more even of a circle at the bottom.

Supplies: Stamps: Gina K, Autumn Leaves  Ink: VersaMark, Memento tuxedo black  Paper: black cardstock, glossy cardstock, white cardstock  Accessories: black fine detail embossing powder, scallop oval punch, oval punch, Tim Holtz alcohol inks

I remember the first time I did this polished stone technique it was at a scrapbook store I worked at.  We had so much fun creating various backgrounds.  Fun times!  I still had fun with it on this one, what I like about it is you never get the same look twice.

Supplies: Stamps: Stampin Up  Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Martha Stewart stack of pigment inks for the pumpkin  Paper: white and purple cardstock  Accessories: birch tree stencil, purple twine

I have never made a card with a stencil.  First I tried spritzing my color on...unsuccessful.  So I used a sponge dauber and that worked better for this particular stencil.  I think it looks really spooky.

Supplies: Silhouette cut file and cardstock

 

Isn't this cute?!  I used a crimper to finish off the edge at the top.

 

Supplies: Stamps: Hero Arts  Paper: Papercut whip cream and Chatterbox  Ink: Versamagic dew drops  Hero Arts die cut (came with the stamp set), American Crafts ribbon, corner rounder

I was so sure on this layout, but it is growing on me.  I like that it a way to incorporate patterned paper into a clean and simple card.  I have so much patterned paper to use, so I will use this layout again.

That's all for Day 3!

42 Cards in 7 Days...

I completed all 42 challenges on SCS, whew!  Here are my entries for Day 2 of challenges.

 Supplies: Paper: black, orange, and white cardstock  Accessories: Papertrey ghost die cut, googlie eyes, ribbon, Sizzix square scallop die.

This is a pretty simple card.  I just love that little ghost, and who doesn't love googlie eyes!

 Supplies: Paper: early espresso, crumb cake, white, scraps Ink: Memento tuxedo black and love letter, soft suede Stamps: Lawn Fawn  Accessories: Lawn Fawn die cuts, owl punch, bird punch, brayer, Paper Studio wood grain embossing folder

My owl punch finally made it's debut after way to long.  Sometimes I think I enjoy this hobby for the shopping more than the crafting!  I inked up the wood grain folder with soft suede ink and ran it through the big shot. 

 Supplies: Stamps: Create a Cupcake  Ink: Memento tuxedo black, versamark  Paper: black and white cardstock, Doodlebug flower paper  Accessories: modern label punch, ribbon, Cuttlebug embossing folder, filigree brad, brayer, clean embossing powder

How cute is that purse?!  I found this card, and followed her directions on how to make this clutch.  She even has a larger one made out of the top note die, I will have to try that out too!  I used a different embossing folder and ribbon on mine. 

 Supplies: Stamps: Technique Tuesday Paper: white and red cardstock Ink: Memento love letter Accessories: Memory Box die cut

Another super simple card.  Love letter is a wonderful red ink if you haven't tried it, you should!

 Supplies: Stamps: Gina K  Ink: Memento tuxedo black  Paper: white and lavender cardstock  Accessories: Quickutz embossing folder, lavender satin ribbon, gem, flower tutorial, 2 inch glue dot

The flower is the beauty on this card.  I followed this tutorial to create it.  I didn't have the sticky sheet like she used, so I used a large glue dot.  This must not be nearly as thick as the sticky sheet or I over did it with the heat gun.  My glue dot melted and I had to keep pushing the ribbon back together to keep the flower formation.  I also thought I could have adhered my glue dot to the cardstock circle prior to applying the heat as well, I used the little sheet that the glue dot comes on.  And I chose this embossing folder because I thought it framed my flower well. 

That's it for day 2, stop by again as I will be posting the remaining cards from these challenges.

Thanks for stopping by!
