Remember The 80's?

Hi Everyone! Do the 80's feel like just yesterday for you? For me they certainly do, and this new blend called I Love The 80's really captures all that 80's spirit! So check out my project for today.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this blend was roller skating in the 80's and a few months ago Catherine Pooler had come out with these fun stamps that I thought was just perfect. So I stamped my background using At The Rink background stamp using my Wow Embossing Pad and used Nuvo Fine Detail Embossing powder in Glacier White. I then used blending brushes to apply my Catherine Pooler inks to create my fun skate background layer. I then used a Lawn Fawn layering die to create the white frame. I then used scor-tape to attach a layer of acetate to the back of the frame. Next I used foam adhesive tape to create my shaker area. I then added I Love The 80's and sealed the shaker space. Next I stamped out and die cut the two pairs of roller skates that are from the Let The Good Times Roll stamp and Die sets, and added a little color with my Copics. I then added some stars from the sequin mix to my roller skates and adhered these to the frame. I then used a Happy Birthday sentiment and its matching shadow layer from Crafters Companion for my sentiment. I hen adhered the sentiment and there you have it!

Meow & Fur-Ever

Every once in a while you meet that Fur-Ever soul mate. In this case I think Newton certainly did! Check this out.

 Look how cute and cozy these two are. This is a super cute stamp set that you can find at Scrapsalot called Newtons Sweethearts. This is just one of the three images in this adorable set. I colored them up with copics and thought a shaker would be fun. I used a circle die from my stash to cut the base layer that had the colored up image. I then used some fun foam, acetate and Scor Tape to create my shaker. I filled it with Catherine Pooler Springfield Sequin Mix.

I then used pattern paper from Doodlebug Down on the Farm 6x6 paper pad, and Lawn Fawn layering dies to create my layers. And if you shake the card around it reveals the fabulous sentiment!

Congratulations

Hi Everyone! Today I am playing with Double Or Nothing Sparkle Blends! And this project is so perfect for right now! This is great for Grads or wishing someone luck on a new adventure. So have a look at today's project.

This Sparkle Blend is such a fun blend that has even dice and playing cards in addition to so many fun shapes and sizes of red, white and black sparkly sequins and beads. I used a Congratulations Die that also has a shadow layer as well as a fun nested frame set, both from Crafters Companion as well as an older fun alpha numeric die set from Craftin Desert Divas for my number seven. I wanted a certain shade of red and a certain shade of yellow so I used my copics to create the red and yellow paper layers. Additionally I used solid white cardstock, black cardstock, blue cardstock and a holographic piece of cardstock from a 6x6 DCWV Cardstock Stack. I love how this has a slot machine, Vegas feel to it. I really love how this came together!

So have a look at today's project. This project is all about Spill The Bubble Tea from Sparkle Blends!

Thank You Dad...

Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing a fun and mostly monochromatic Father's Day card with you! So let's get started. For this project I am using an A2 size card base cut and scored from CutCardstock Neenah Classic Crest Card Stock in Solar White 110# Cover.  I then cut a card layer measuring 4 inches by 5 1/4 inches out of Basis Grey Cardstock. I then used my Misti along with a fabulous older stamp set from Altenew called Best Dad. I used some of the imagery from this set and stamped it on to the Basis Grey with Black Jack Ink from Catherine Pooler. I really love this color with this cardstock as you can still see the images but in terms of the card it is still subtle.

Next I used a square die to cut my window.

I then used Scor-Tape on the back side of the Basis Grey to adhere my acetate layer.

Next, using foam tape I created my shaker space.

I then used a wonderful shaker mix from Sparkle Blends called Shooting Star and filled my shaker space. I then attached my Basis Grey to my card base. I then stamped out the book image from the set using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in with Copics, and finally, stamped the sentiment on to Pop Tone Black Licorice Card Stock with Versamark Watermark Ink and then used Zing Embossing Powder in Opaque White. I heatset the sentiment then trimmed it down. I then popped it up with Foam Tape and there you have it.

I really love how this turned out. I do hope you like this project and as always, I can't wait to see what you create!

Hugs,

Judy

I Wish You Were Here

Hi Everyone! Today I am playing with Iced Coffee Sparkle Blends! And this project is so perfect for right now! And Sparkle Blends is a sponsor for the Coffee Lovers Spring Summer Blog Hop! This is truly an amazing blog hop so check it out. 

So take a look at my project. This project has several different elements to it. First, for my shaker I used a die set from Stamp Simply called A Cup Of Java. This die set is a perfect size for creating shakers. And the sentiment comes from the matching stamp set with the same name. Now I wanted to give the feel of a tall iced coffee, which is perfect with this Iced Coffee Sparkle Blend. So what I did was create my shaker with acetate on both sides so that the shaker felt more like a tall clearish glass.

For my background scene I used Sunflower Field Color Layering Scape from Hero Arts with Catherine Pooler Inks in Grass Skirt, Lime Rickey, Rockin Red, Tiki Torch, and Limoncello. And for my sky I used Distress Oxides in Broken China and Mustard Seed and applied with blending brushes.

I Don't Know What I'd Do...

It's Wednesday and who couldn't use a bit of a coffee pick me up!
And it is also that wonderful time of year for the Coffee Lovers Spring Summer Blog Hop! This is truly an amazing blog hop so check it out. And Scrapsalot has a lot of fabulous caffeinated fun that totally works for this blog hop!

Check this out.

This is a great project full of fun elements. The background is created by first using a background stamp called Mug Life Background. For this I used my Misti and stamped this image first in Memento Tuxedo Black and then again in Versamark Watermark Ink. I then coated this with Holographic Embossing Powder from Ranger and then heat set the embossing powder. Next, using blending brushes I then used Mustard Seed Distress Oxide and Broken China Distress Oxide. And then used a baby wipe to wipe the excess ink off and allow the Holographic Embossing to show through.

I then used an image stamp and sentiment from a second set called Mug Life. This is a different set from the background stamp, but both are from Ink Road and you can get them through Scrapsalot. I again stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. I then added just a touch of color with Copics in E00, G000, and Y00. I also used my favorite Scor Tape as well to adhere my many layers.
