Stuck on You!!

Hello crafty peeps and welcome back to the SNS Blog!! It’s Laurie here today to share a card made using one of my favourite brands…Concord and 9th!!  I love their innovative designs. A lot of their stamp sets are large which make filling a card front very easy!  I love cacti, especially in illustration form, haha, so naturally I used the Stuck on You Stamp Set and its co-ordinating dies.

I started by stamping all the images I wanted to use onto some Tim Holtz Watercolour Cardstock.  I used Versafine Clair Ink in the colour Neptune and clear embossing powder because I wanted to do some quick and easy watercolour.

While my watercolour was drying, I chose another stamp from the same set and created a polka dot background on a piece of white cardstock that was cut to 4 X 5.25 inches.

It looks random and kind of splotchy but the large cactus image will cover the double stamped areas.  I die cut all the images, except for the little sign. There is no co-ordinating die for this. But it’s a square and very easy to fussy cut!  I adhered each piece together with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive then added foam adhesive to the back.

Because the background stamping was quite stark, I decided to cut a piece of vellum with an older die from MFT and put my cactus on top.  I hid the foam tape behind the image!

I just love how large that cactus is!! And I actually used the smaller of the two!!  I did add some shine with Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the flower and the heart on the flower pot.

For a little extra something, I added 3 drops of NuvoCrystal Drops in Ebony Black.

 

Thank you for stopping in today!!  I hope you enjoyed todays card!!

See you soon!

Laurie

Orange You So Awesome Encouragement Card

Orange You So Awesome Encouragement Card

Hello Everyone. Thank you for stopping by. Todays  project is an encouragement card;  Orange You Awesome .

Concord & 9th’s stamps and die are unique. They steer away from cutesy , or  child like characters and  focus on different innovative designs.  They have won numerous  awards for their  designs.

I used   Orange You Sweet Stamp Set and Orange You  Sweet Dies to construct this delightful card.

Ink to Paper:

Memories Black Dye Ink Pad was used to  stamp all of the images.  Orange rims first  and   then pulp section  stamps  inside  the rim. Both sizes were stamped  and  multiples of each  on  white card stock. Black and orange card stock sheets  from Bazzill Premium Paper  (100 sheet)  Pack  were trimmed  a smidgeon larger than the two piece  Awesome die ( from my stash).  A few oranges in both sizes were  cut with Orange You Sweet Dies. A press of the button and the images were cut  with  Crafters Companion Gemini Die Cutting Machine.

Sentiment Strip:

“Orange You So”  was stamped with Memories Black Dye Ink Pad on the edge of white card stock and trimmed to a .25 ” x 5.5 ” strip. MFT’s Black & White Stripes 6×6 Pad  and Silky Sky  Tonic Mirror Card were also cut into .25 x 5.5 ” strips. The white sentiment strip was shortened to 2.5 “.

 Be Creative 3mm tape  was applied to the reverse side of “Orange You So”  strip and then attached  on top of  Silky Sky Tonic Mirror Card ( this was trimmed to 3″).  The die cut word “Awesome” had  Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive applied sparingly to the back and placed precisely over the black  word shadow die cut. Once dry this was applied   between the layered sentiment and the edge of  last remaining full size strip. (MFT’s  Black & White Stripe strip).

Card Assembly:

Three orange die cuts were formed  into a triangle on the left hand side of a  landscape card front  panel . Once I was happy with the placement they were adhered directly to the panel. “Orange You So Awesome” sentiment strip was applied centre horizontally to the front panel with 3 D Foam Squares  ( low profile).

The front panel was secured to a side fold landscape card with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. An inside card panel was trimmed to 4.15 x 5.5″.   MFT’s Black & White Stripes 6×6 Pad    piece of  stripped paper  was trimmed to .25 x 5.5 ” and adhered to the bottom edge of the inside panel. ” I Could Just Squeeze You ” was inked with Memories Black Dye Ink Pad and stamped a tad higher than centre. The inside card panel was attached to the inside card base with liquid adhesive.

Sequins to match Silky Sky  Tonic Mirror  was attached above and below “Awesome” and a small sequin attached above the “e” to form a triangle.

Orange You So Awesome Encouragement card is now complete. Until next time. xo Karen

Watercoloring Fun with Amy

Good morning, Amy here with a fun little make using Concord & 9th’s Painted Rose.

How gorgeous is this Painted Rose from Concord & 9th? It’s so versatile and there are so many ways you can use this set- Plus it comes with coordinating dies! I chose just to use the line stamp today and stamped it onto Canson Watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I heat set it with my Heat It Tool and then used Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks to watercolor the rose. I just made sure to dry in between my layers to get the depth of colors on the petals. ;o)

I  then fussy cut it out and set it aside to work on my cardfront. I started by embossing white cardstock with We R Memory Keeper Geometric Embossing Folder. I then added some black paint splatters and Washi Tape. I  then stamped the “THANKS” sentiment from the Painted Rose set with Black Onyx Versafine Ink.

I adhered my panel to my black cardbase and then adhered the Rose with 3m Foam Tape.  A Black button and Twine finished off the front of my card.

Here’s the inside of my card using the layered and splatter Stamps with the same Distress and Black Onyx Inks.

I sure hope you’ve enjoyed this fun little card today and give it a try. Be sure to join us Saturday August 25th,  for our August Blog Hop- it’s sure to SHAKE things up! ;o)

~Happy Craftin’!~
