Tuesday with Tara {take 35}

Happy Tuesday!  I’m glad you’re here today!  It’s March 1, the sun is shining where I’m at and it’s got me thinking about spring and bright colors and inky fingers and other things that make me smile…

First up today, I’ve got a winner to announce!  I took all the comments left on last week’s blog post and the facebook page post, and used a random number generator to come up with a winner!  (If it’s not you, stick around till the end of this post for another chance to win a prize!)

The winner is…

NANCY L.

Congrats!  Contact us with your mailing address and we’ll get your feather stencil sent off to you!

Today we’re moving from feathers to BIRDS- just a little crazy bird today 🙂  I mixed up another custom paste for my background using a couple shades of Distress Ink and Transluscent paste and a generous amount of chunky glitter by American Crafts.  I stamped my sentiment first, then placed the Crafter’s Workshop stencil over it and applied paste with a palette knife.  Once the paste was dry, I sprinkled some Color Burst over it and spritzed.  It made a fun background!

Fun with Peel Off Stickers, Microfine Glitter & Letraset ProMarkers

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a few cards with you today that I made using Elizabeth Craft Designs Christmas Cupcake Peel Off stickers #2527, Stampendous Microfine Crystal glitter and Letraset ProMarkers.

Colouring on glitter with ProMakers is a really fun way to make beautiful glittered accents for your cards and scrapbooks. This year I am hoping to have time to make some special cookies and squares to give out as gifts so I thought these Christmas cupcakes would be perfect for the cards to accompany them.

For those of you that are new to this technique I will quickly run through the basics. First, attach a piece of Elizabeth Craft Designs transparent double sided adhesive to a piece of cardstock (usually white). Remove the protective sheet from the adhesive and place the peel off sticker right onto your adhesive being careful not to distort the shape. Now sprinkle the Crystal Stampendous Frantage Micro Glitter all over, rub it in with your fingers and then tap off the excess. To make sure that the glitter is really stuck rub over it again and then use a fluffy brush to remove any extra bits. Now you are ready to start colouring with your ProMarkers.

I like to use the chisel tip and a dabbing motion to colour in bigger spaced and then I use the bullet tip to add shading. If you brush the pen across the glitter I think you will find that you rub some of it off so I found that dabbing gently worked better.

 

For this card I used these ProMarkers : R565 Poppy, R445 Crimson, G356 Forest Green, G724 Holly, O618 Putty, O427 Cinnamon & the BL400 Blender.

The Merry Christmas die #745 from Elizabeth Craft Designs cut out the perfect sentiment to put on the inside of this flip fold card.

 

On my next card I used an Action Wobble Spring to attach the cupcake to the card front just for fun.

Here are the colours used on this card : For this card I used these ProMarkers : R565 Poppy, R445 Crimson, G356 Forest Green, G724 Holly & the BL400 Blender.

On the next card I changed up the greens to give the card a little bit different look.

Here are the colours I used on this card : For this card I used these ProMarkers : R565 Poppy, R445 Crimson, Y635 Pear Green, G136 Marsh Green, O618 Putty, O427 Cinnamon & the BL400 Blender.

On all of the cards I used the new Elizabeth Craft Designs Glitter Dots 7018tg as accents and on the last card I used the R565 Poppy ProMarker to colour some of them red. These little dots are a quick, easy way to add a little more sparkle without having to get out the glitter and glue. I’m loving them!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope these cards give you ideas and inspiration.

Designer Showcase: Quick & Easy Christmas Cards Using 3D Precut Prints

Hi everyone! Today I would like to share with you some quick and easy Christmas cards that were made using the Poinsettia, Holly & Christmas Rose 3D Die Cut sheet. These Die Cut sheets are so easy to use! All you do is pop out the pieces and layer them with foam dots to create gorgeous elements for your cards, gift tags or scrapbook pages. You can use them as they are or add a little glitter, some rhinestones or pearls for a little extra pizzaz.

This sheet will make three separate elements and each element has several layers so you add a lot of dimension to your project when you use them. It is so easy to put them together because each of the pieces is numbered so you know what order to layer them in. Absolutely foolproof!

Here are six different cards all made with this terrific precut sheet and a few extra supplies.

This Holly die cut works beautifully on an A2 card front. Subtle touches of glitter were added to the snow and berries just to highlight them and Decorative Lines Outline stickers were used to frame the card front. Simple & pretty.

For this next card I used the same image but glammed it up a bit. First I embossed the card front with the Cuttlebug Kassie’s Brocade embossing folder and then I layered the Holly & Bird onto cardstock that had been cut out with Spellbinders Nestabilities Deckled Rectangles. A little bow and an Outline sticker sentiment and it was done.

Nothing says Christmas like Poinsettias and these were so easy to use. A simple Outline sticker border and a little bit of Crystal Rainbow glitter was all that was added to this classic card.

Two embossed elements give this card a completely different look. Cuttlebug D’vine Swirl was used to emboss the card front and then the red cardstock was cut out with Spellbinders Labels One and embossed with Cuttlebug  Swiss Dot. Just by changing the colors and the angle of the Poinsettia die cut we were able to get a whole new look.

This card was originally featured in our Tuesday Tutorial showing how you can emboss using Dreamweaver Stencils and your Big Shot. The mirrored cardstock  adds an elegant touch.

Our last card has it all! Glitter, rhinestones, mirror paper. Everything you need for that wow factor! The card front was embossed with Cuttlebug Spots & Dots and then an EK Success Slim Edger punch with a dotted design was used to create another element that mirrored the circles in the embossing. I love how easy it is to create your own paper ‘lace’ with these border punches. Spellbinders Labels One was used to cut out the large center element from red mirror cardstock and a little Crystal Rainbow glitter was added to the holly and berries for some sparkle. Instead of the little bow you could use an outline sticker sentiment in the center and get a different look.

We have lots of 3D Prints & Precuts in the store so be sure to check them out. They are so easy to work with and as you can see they are very versatile.

Thanks for dropping by today. Have a wonderful week.
