Craft Your Passion#242

Hi everyone!
I'm back with my weekly DT project for Craft Your Passion.  

This is challenge#242  & the theme "Christmas presents". You could use images of Christmas presents on your cards/projects or some Christmas themed gift/packaging

For my card I have used an adorable 'heart gift' digi by the sponsors "Stitchy Bear's Digital Stamps" colored with my new toy - Creatacolor pencils.

My card base is white over which I have overlaid textured red card stock & a pattern paper. Glued the fussy cut digi over the same white card stock & matted this on red card stock. I love this sentiment!

The shimmer on the heart the result of Wink of Stella & also added a cute heart button popping out of the gift!

This card fits in the following challenge themes -

Craft Your Passion#239

Hello and welcome to Craft Your Passion#239.

WOW, can you believe it is November already? Well, its already time for winter & fun in the snow. Yes you guessed it right todays card is all about snow.

  So, without further ado let me show you my card - 

The adorable image & sentiment is by Diane's Daydream Designs our sponsors for this week. Our challenge for this round is to use elements with B's in your creations. I have used baby, ball, button brad, bow, blue. I had a beautiful snowflake vellum in my stash & wanted to use it on this card. I also wanted to retain the snowfall background of the digi (take a look at the snow under the vellum). I printed two copies of the colored image. Fussy cut the girl & the tub & pieced it over the image with foam tape & I was done! Loved the background & the dimensional look of the image.

Do pop over to the Challenge blog for more inspiration by our DT.

Shadow Box Frame

Welcome friends!!!!

Thank you so much to all who commented & my FB page on the previous post KNOWING ME.

A DIY luminary withTim Holtz caged bird die cuts is what I share today. I loved the outcome...................beautiful!

I started by inking the die cuts with distress inks (squeezed lemonade, spiced marmalade, picked raspberry). I then stamped the newsprint over it with black archival ink followed by a medium coat of clear rock candy crackle paint. Vellum was then glued on the inner side of the cages. All the four die cuts were then glued to a chipboard base. Finally embellishments.............and I had this wonder, a luminary!

The chipboard bird colored with distress inks & coated with clear UTEE. Don't miss the HOME resin embellie & the cute charm.

Do you see the LSG shimmer over the pink flowers?

Look at that crackled effect!!!

And here it is with a tea light.............now won't this be a unique home decor item?

Supplies used - 

Dies - Tim Holtz alterations  caged bird, Cheery Lynn designs

Stamps - Impression Obsession CAC newsprint

LSG - Cotton candy pink

Distress crackle paint - clear rock candy

Distress inks - squeezed lemonade, spiced marmalade, picked raspberry, vintage photo & black soot

Vellum - locally purchased

All other embellishments -  stash

So sweet of you

Welcome here again!

Sharing a card  with my first attempt at the die cut inlay technique. 

I have used the whimsy circle die from MB for this. This is a very intricate die & so I used a piece of colored vellum behind the inlaid die cut to add some visual interest. The sentiment (PTI signature greetings) was heat embossed with white EP on the vellum. Tied this to the heart shaped wooden button using silver string. Some faux stitching along the edges resulted in this elegant card.

Create Something Catchy Challenge #2

Good Morning Friends & welcome April!!

We are back with a new challenge at Create Something Catchy Challenge #2. Below is the inspiration picture for this month - 

Here is my interpretation of the image - 

• To make this card I first stamped the hearts with the Kaisercraft stamp set using versamark, on white CS.
• Heat embossed the image with super fine clear embossing powder (Ranger). 
• Used a medley of distress ink colors - picked raspberry, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, mowed lawn & salty ocean over the image.
• Spritzed the inked background with a mister & then used a baby wipe to clear the colors over the image. 
• This was then glued under the negative  heart die cut in the cardstock. I have used foam glue dots to add some depth.
