You’re A Great Friend!

Hi everyone! Today I have a project for the Pinkfresh Studio July Challenge-Butterflies. I had so much fun making this project for the challenge. Here is what I made:

I started out using the Small Butterflies Hot Foil Plate onto Heavy Weight cardstock 110lb. with Aura Foil using my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil system. I then used the coordinating Stencils going in order. The stencils have numbers on them. I first started with Passion Fruit, Persimmon, Clementine, and then Espresso Dye ink. I used smaller blending brushes to achieve a clean and efficient look.

Next, I cut out the butterflies with the coordinating dies. I love that Pinkfresh Studio has full complete sets like this. I inked up the Diamond Tiles Background Cling Stamp with Passion Fruit using my Misti and white cardstock. I then cut it out using the largest rectangle from the Diagonal Stitched Rectangles. I cut out some white cardstock using The largest die from the Ornate Banner set.

I began putting my card together. I added foam strips to the back of the Ornate Banner die before adding it to the Diamond Tiles Background. I then added the panel to a Kraft side folding A2 card base. I popped up two butterflies with foam and added some ephemera from Happy Blooms. I then semi popped up my sentiment that was foiled previously from Perfect Sentiments and cut out with the coordinating dies. Foiled in Glimmer Gold Foil using My Spellbinders Hot Foil Glimmer System. Lastly, I added some Lavender Jewels with my Pick Up Stick using On Point Glue. I hope you have enjoyed my card today. Thanks for taking a peek!

On this card I used Yum Yum, Pine Tree, Let It Snow, and Holiday Latte. I printed them out on white cardstock 110lb. I made my Hamster hold the Holiday Latte and cropped the hat from the snowman on the Let It Snow Digital Stamp. I colored them in with Copic Markers and fussy cut them out. On the hat I did cut it out without a border and used a black copic marker to clean it up a bit.

I mad my background using Canson Mix Media 138lb. paper, I ink blended using my new favorite ink Blue Ribbon using my blending brush. I then used Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink for the ground. I sprinkled some water droplets and dried the excess with a paper towel. I cut out my panel with a Lil Inkers Design Stitched rectangle, using the largest rectangle. I then used a snow drift stitched die from my stash with white cardstock to make a snow ground. I cut the excess paper off with my scissors. I glued my tree down and added foam to the back of my Hamster. I added a Tim Holtz Sentiment and used my Signo White Pen to make snow and to add gel accents. My panel was then added to a A2 Card Base. Glacier Jewels were added for fun. I hope you like my card. I hope you’ll participate in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Hop

A Colorful Life Designs using the Waves Stencil

Hi everyone! I have a fun card to share with you today using this Beautiful Waves Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs. I really love this stencil and it was so easy to put this card together. Use my Code VonFan10 for 10% off your order when shopping at A Colorful Life Designs.

I first grabbed some Arteza 110lb Cardstock and trimmed it down to 6×6. I usually trim my cardstock to that size when using a stencil just in case there is a area I may not like, it gives me wiggle room to cut down to my liking. I used Catherine Pooler inks in Cove Blue and Sea Glass using my Trinity Stamps Blending Buddy brushes. I then flicked some water droplets and dried the excess with a paper towel.

I cut down my panel using a Lawn Fawn A2 stitched rectangle die that I ran through my Spellbinders Platinum Machine. I cut out some Sailboats from Memory Box using white cardstock. I colored them in using Copic Markers. I added strips of foam adhesive before adding them to my panel. I then stamped a sentiment from MFT Stamps You Keep Me Afloat using the same Catherine Pooler Cove Blue ink. I cut it down with my paper trimmer and added foam tape to the back before adding it to my panel. Foam was added to my panel before adhering it to my A2 card base. Lastly, I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to my sail boats and background. I hope you enjoyed my card. Use my code VonFan10 for 10% off.

Stay Cool

Hi everyone! I have a card to share and a confession. I have been eating Ice Cream everyday, I know I’m so bad. My recent obsession is Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream or some say Mint N Chip. I just love it!! So that is my inspiration for this card. I hope you enjoy and treat yourself to your favorite Ice Cream!

I used the Waffle Cone Ice Cream Digital Stamp Set from the Not 2 Shabby Shop. I also printed all the sentiments that are included. I first printed my Ice Cream and sentiments on Georgia Pacific 110lb Cardstock and then colored my ice Cream cone using my Copic Markers.

I made my background using Arteza 110lb. Watercolor paper and smooshing Gansai Tambi paint using a packaging from a stamp set. I used a dark brown, light brown, and mint colored paint color. I also flicked paint, the dark brown paint using a paintbrush and water. I then used a Hero Arts Circular Grid Background Cling stamp just inking up a corner with aVersafine Clair Nocturne black dye ink. I love the background. I hope you do too. I cut my background out with a A2 stitched rectangle die from Lawn Fawn and glued it to a A2 card base. I then glued my Ice Cream Cone and sentiment that I cut into a banner onto my card front. Lastly, I added pops of color in Pearl-Seafoam.

Thank you for stopping by!

Trinity Stamps-Snappy Birthday Wishes

Hello everyone. I’m on the Trinity Stamps Blog Today and I have a fun card to share with you using the Oh Snap 4×8 Stamp Set and Oh Snap Die Set. This is a really cute Crocodile and such a fun stamp set with cute sentiments. It was really fun and easy to put together also.

I started out using white cardstock and Distress Oxide inks in Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers. I used the Puffy Cloud Layers Stencil for the top of my panel using Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers for the ground layer of my panel using the Blending Buddy Brushes. I then cut it out with the Slimline Dainty Scallop Edge Die set using the largest die from the set.

I stamped my Crocodile and Birds onto white cardstock using Oreo black ink from Taylored Expressions for alcohol markers. I colored my images with my Copic Markers and then used the Oh Snap Die Set to cut them out with my Spellbinders Diecutting machine. I loved using my green markers on this Crocodile to color and even though this image is big it was really fast to color.

I placed my Slimline panel into my Misti stamping platform and heat embossed the sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and Hero Arts Clear embossing powder using my heat tool.

I then glued my Slimline Dainty Scallop panel onto my white Slimline Card base. I glued my birds onto my crocodile and added foam to the back of my crocodile and birds before gluing them to my panel. Lastly, I added Melted Icicles Confetti Mix and white gel accents with my gel pen. That finishes my card. I think it came out really cute!!

Baby Blessings

Hi everyone! I have some Baby Cards today and I wanted to share them with you. I used this cute Zebra Digital file from Kinda Cute By Patricia.

I chose to print two of these Zebras. I printed them on Georgia Pacific 110lb. cardstock. In this digital set you get three different zebras. I really liked this style of Zebra. It’s definitely fun set. I colored them with Copic Markers and to look like they are wearing baby clothes for fun.

On this one I gave her a pink bow. I used a Zebra Stencil for my backgrounds using Salvaged Patina and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks with blending brushes on white cardstock. I then cut them down and cut some black cardstock. I layered my cardstock and zebras onto my A2 card bases. I placed my cards in my misti and stamped a sentiment from The Greeting Farm with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. Lastly, I added pops of color drops in Soft Pink and Sea Foam. I hope you like my cards. They were fun to make and will be good for me to build my card stash up.

Pinkfresh Studio Indigo Vines Washi Tape

H everyone I have a video for you to watch up above using Pinkfresh Studio Indigo Vines Washi Tape.

I started out by cutting my sheet of Heavy weight White Cardstock in half. I placed my large Washi on my cardstock and smoothed it out with a bone folder. This indigo Vines Washi Tape also has a Coordinating Die Set and Stamp Set. I chose just to use the Indigo Vines Washi and Die set for this project. I ran my washi cardstock through my Spellbinders Diecutting machine and popped out all my diecuts. So much fun, they are so pretty in person.

I foiled my word sentiment “Celebrate” with Glimmer Silver Matte Foil on white cardstock. I layered my Washi cutouts 2-3 times with heavy cardstock. I love that they feel like chipboard. I used a diagonal Stitched plaid cover plate for my background and glued it to a A2 card base. I then glued my washi cutouts and my foiled sentiment. I finished off my card using Silver Pearls using my Pick Up stick from Trinity Stamps. I hope you like my card and video. I really enjoyed using Pinkfresh Studios Washi Tape and I will be using more of it on my projects.

Thank you for stopping by I appreciate your support!

Trinity Stamps Layered Tea Cup Stencil

Hi my friends, I have a card to share with you today using Trinity Stamps. I love the New Layered 2 piece Tea Cup Stencil and the A7 Envelope Builder Die. They work so perfect together. Let me show you!!

I first started out with some Neenah Solar White 80lb. cardstock and I cut it down to fit inside my Misti Stamping Platform. I laid down my Tea Cup stencil, the cup portion and to help it to stay down I placed Magnets around it. I applied Tattered Rose Distress Oxide ink using a Blending Buddy Brush. This stencil has so many elements to help you get a realistic Tea Cup. I used doe ink from Pinkfresh Studio for my Tea ink blending and for decoration on my tea cup. I fussy cut out my Tea cup and my handle so that I glue them together. You can Stencil the handle near the cup which I think is what you are suppose to do. I had did them at the same time which left a space. Fussy cutting them helped me save my tea cup from looking funny.

I used the A7 envelope Builder Die set to make a coordinating envelope. I also used the scalloped rectangle die with kraft cardstock to create my panel for my tea cup. The cute flower on the stencil I used to ink on my panel with Tattered Rose Distress Oxide ink to match. I then used the leaf die and tea bag from the Trini-Tea Cup Card Die using white cardstock. I used a green ink to ink my leaves using Mint ink from Pinkfresh Studio. Next, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Best-Tea party on the same kraft cardstock using white embossing powder and Versamark ink. I then used the Best-Tea party dies to cut my sentiment out and added it onto the tea bag with a foam square. I added my panel to a card base and added my stenciled tea cup with liquid glue. I glued one leaf and and added my tea bag and other leaf with a foam square.

I really love this matching envelope. My card matches and fits perfectly. It is really easy to put together. I believe I used a 12×12 Kraft caardstock 80lb. and a scrap of Kraft cardstock from my stash to put it together. I really enjoyed making a larger size card and envelope.

I decorated my panel with the Crystal Rhinestone Clear Mix to add to the centers of my flowers using the New Pick Up Stick . This new tool worked perfectly, a must have tool if you ask me. I also had stenciled my envelope to match my card using that same flower from the stencil. I really hope you like my card and matching envelope. I will have to make more coordinating sets now that I have this A7 Envelope Builder Die Set.
