Pop Up Spinner Card | Sunny Studios

March 4, 2018March 1, 2018Posted in 3d Pop Up Card, Spinner Card, Sunny StudiosLeave a comment

Happy Friday!

When I first saw this Sunny Studio stamp set, my mind raced back to the pop up spinner card I did awhile back and I really wanted to redo that card using this set. It’s more or less the same card, but this time, I have a video for it to help anyone recreate the same card.

There’s quite a few steps to this card because I wanted to use three images, but using just one is just fine as well. The techniques involved is reverse stamping, pop up, and a spinner. It’s a three in one for this card! If you watch the video, you get the basic idea behind the card, and hopefully you can make a similar card as well!

Vellum (or Acetate) Shaker Card

Hi all, I’m up on the Drive By Craft’s Blog today sharing this fun shaker card using their Itty Bitty Shaker Fun shaker bits, and Waffle Flower’s Stay Cool stamp set.

I created a half shaker card and used vellum… but once I was done, I wasn’t so sure about it and recreated it using acetate.

Head over to Drive By Crafts blog to see how I created this card.

And check out the video I have for this card as well:

Thinking of You

February 2, 2018February 2, 2018Posted in Hero Arts, The Ton, WatercolorLeave a comment

Welcome back! Today I’m sharing a card that I have fallen in love with. I’ve been creating a lot of lovey type cards but these kind of cards can be given at any time to show a person you are thinking of them.

I used The Ton’s Hey Foxy set. It’s a really cute set that features a variety of different foxes paired with a bunch of sentiments. The two foxes that face each other caught my eye. One of them even has eyelashes!

I have been playing around with water coloring. It’s not my go-to medium because I’m a little OCD and watercolors have a mind of their own. It’s hard to predict how a piece will end up and I’m struggling with letting that go. For this card, I decided to use an ombre effect because while I don’t have complete control, I can sort of predict how it’ll turn out. I used four colors from an Artist Loft watercolor palette. This palette is reasonably prices (under $10) and it’s perfect for a beginner like me. I just start by brushing the colors on horizontally from darkest (2 purples) to lightest (2 pinks) and I’ll use my heat gun to dry the paper. Once the paper is dry, I’ll repeat the steps a few times until the color is to my liking. This builds up the color saturation.

When I first saw January’s Hero Arts Kit, I knew the heart die included was something I had to play with immediately. It was just so intricate, delicate and pretty! I die cut this out and inked it up with Versamark ink. Using Hero Arts’s gold embossing powder, I cover it up and heat embossed it. It looks AMAZING!

I wanted the edges of the card to match the heart, so I also heat embossed that. I used My Favorite Things Blueprint 27’s scalloped frame for the watercolor background. It was perfect because it cuts smaller than a typical A2 card and the heat embossed edges peek out.

Once I put this card together, adding a sentiment at the bottom, I knew I was in love with how this card turned out.

What do you think!?

I also have a video to show you how I made it:

Oh Manatee! – with Zig Coloring

January 19, 2018January 13, 2018Posted in Gerda Steiner Designs, One Layer CardLeave a comment

Hi all! I’m stopping by today to share a fun card with you. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what I wanted create at first. I actually stamped all the little manatees and colored them in, not knowing. Eventually, I thought an underwater scene would be perfect for them and I ran with that idea.

I knew that I wanted the kelp to be a large part of setting the scene and I wanted to incorporate it with the animals. I thought it would make it super cute where if one of the manatees could peek out. This part was a bit difficult as I had to fussy cut it the kelp but in the end, it was totally worth it.

I used watercolor paper since it is thicker and in doing so, I wanted to use my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I actually grabbed all the blues and drew wave-like lines all over the background. Then using a water brush, I just ran it over the lines and blended a little. It literally took me less than a couple of minutes to do this. I think it does give it a very soft ocean look since there are so many different shades of blue.

What do you think? Anyway, I hope you enjoy the card.

GSD- DIY Stencil & Masking Backgound

January 7, 2018January 5, 2018Posted in Gerda Steiner Designs, Just BecauseLeave a comment

Hi all, I’m back to share another card using the Valentine Penguins. I really love this set, the penguins are just adorable!

This time, I’m using a super simple technique to create a unique background.

I started out using a heart punch that I had and punched a heart in a piece of paper. The negative space was perfect to color in hearts, using distress inks, directly to the card. Next, I used the punch and full adhesive post its to create masks. I masked off all the hearts I colored and used one of the masks and distress ink to create a negative heart space.

I think by using both the negative space from the punch and the actual image to mask, it creates a unique background. It’d be really hard to replicate.

For an actual peek at what I did, I’m including my youtube tutorial below.

Love Cynthia – Hidden Slider

January 5, 2018January 13, 2018Posted in Love Cynthia, Slider CardLeave a comment

Hi everyone! I just had to share this fun card I made. It was one I created for my coworker who is leaving. She loves all the superhero movies, and why not make her into one! The best part is that she flies!

I used distress inks to color the background and the cloud on top. Using a white gelli pen, I scattered stars everyone. I die cut a retired Clearly Besotted item for the cityscape, so it was so easy to put this card together. The clouds on the top of the card hide the slider, so the little girl can move freely and look like she’s flying.

Here is the video tutorial too:

Hope you enjoy this card. I think it’s one of my favorites so far!

Warning! This Set Contains Magic

September 25, 2017October 9, 2017Posted in Just Because, Magic Moving Card, Planner Street, Shaker CardLeave a comment

I’m back to share a fun, magical card, using the Planner Street set, “Warning: This Set Contains Magic”. I’m definitely bit of a girly girl who loves unicorns and glitter. Naturally, when I first saw this set, I just knew I had to combine the two!

In creating this card, I started by coloring and fussy cutting three of the images and heat embossing the sentiment onto my pink background. I chose a glitter cardstock for the frame. After all, there’s no such thing as TOO much glitter.

I wanted the unicorn to move around in the card but only in the middle of it. By using clear thread to hold the unicorn, you can’t really see it and it makes the unicorn look magical since it moves on it’s own in the middle of the card. I added foam tape around the card, which will be hidden by the glitter frame. The string will be sandwiched between the layers of foam tape.

Since I’m using pretty small glitter, I want to make sure the foam tape isn’t sticky so I made sure to use a powder tool around the frame. Once it was ready to go, I added sequins and glitter. As all crafters know, glitter is naturally clingy and gets everywhere. It still got everywhere but it wasn’t as bad as I anticipated.

I attached acetate to the frame and placed the frame on top of the foam tape. Once that was complete, i just needed to decorate the front with my remaining images. To make things easier, I used a Xyron sticker maker which adds adhesive to the back of my images, essentially creating a sticker.

Voila! This fun card has glitter and sequins shaking throughout AND the unicorn moves. It’s a super fun card, don’t you think?

Hope you all enjoyed this fun, glittery card! Until next time…
