Let’s Celebrate!

I don’t know about  you, but one of the things I most celebrated with vaccinations in place, and infections going down was giving and getting hugs!!  Gosh, it felt so great to have that personal connection again ♥  Fist bumps and elbow taps are fine, but nothing can beat a big ol’ hug from someone you love! Whatever the reason, let’s celebrate and enjoy our weekend.

LET’S CELEBRATE

Honestly, I thought that I had my busy week in hand, but alas – not quite! I was supposed to share this project with you on Thursday, for my Scrap ‘N Stamp word prompt of ‘celebrate’. Which would have been fitting, as my hubby’s birthday was the day before. But I got my dates mixed up, and so here I am today.

I decided that hugs are definitely worth celebrating, as I said earlier. So I pulled out my Hero Arts Big Hugs Stamp & Die Cut set and glitter!

Let's Celebrate!

The red and gold are so rich looking together, aren’t they?

CARD DETAILS

Start with a panel of red cardstock, and the Tim Holtz Flourish Stencil. Use Purple Tape to hold the stencil in place, and then apply Nuvo Glimmer Paste ‘Moonstone’ through the stencil, with a palette knife.  Be sure to immediately clean off your stencil & knife, for easiest clean up. Now, set this aside to dry while you work on the rest of the card.

Stamp the sentiment from the Big Hugs set in Versamark ink, and cover with red embossing powder. Set with a heat tool, and then snip banner tails on the right end. Next, use the dies included with this set, and die cut the words once from gold glitter cardstock, and 3 more times in black cardstock.  Use liquid glue to stack the layers together, with the gold glitter on top. This layering really makes the letters stand out! I offset the black layers under the gold, for a drop shadow.

Create a red card base, and glue a strip of the gold glitter paper to the left hand side. Pop up your glitter embossed panel on top, using foam tape or squares.  Next, glue a strip of the gold glitter under the sentiment, then pop it up on top with more foam tape.  Glue the ‘Big Hug’s die cut directly to the card front.

Let's Celebrate

Isn’t this gorgeous?!  I added a few rhinestones from my stash for some extra shine.

It’s Sum-Sum-Summertime!

How are you enjoying your sum-sum-summertime?! We’re (thankfully) through our heatwave here in Vancouver. Now is a great time to be inside, catching up on your summer birthday cards or even starting your holiday winter cards! It’s never too early.

IN A PINCH

Today’s prompt for the Scrap ‘N Stamp Random Acts of Cardness daily prompt challenge is ‘summer’. So I finally got to use my new stamps & dies called In a Pinch, from Hero Arts! It’s full of great beach themed images, which is perfect for summer.

It's Sum-Sum-Summertime!

How fun is this?! The sentiments in this set are also cute, and punny!

CARD DETAILS

Start with the Tim Holtz Bubbling Die, and die cut white cardstock with your Big Shot. Next, layer the die cut over a sheet of this gorgeous Lavinia Stamps DreamScapes paper in blues, greens & purple. Now, attach this to your card base. Next, stamp the shell, sea urchin and crab from the In A Pinch stamp set in Nocturne ink, onto white cardstock. Cover the stamping with clear embossing powder, and heat set. I didn’t realize, until I was heat embossing, that I had stamped on Yupo instead of cardstock. That’s okay –  alcohol ink markers are perfect for colouring on Yupo!  After colouring, use the In A Pinch Die Cuts with your Big Shot to die cut each image.  Layer the images with glue and foam tape on the bottom corner of the card front.

Stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock in Nocturne, cover with clear embossing powder, and heat set. Die cut the sentiment with an oval die, and pop it up with foam tape in the top left corner. Add some Brutus Monroe Acrylic Bubbles to the front for more fun!

I love the fun dimension that the Bubbling Die adds to the card front!

Cute Critters!

Today’s prompt for the Scrap ‘N Stamp daily challenge is ‘animals’, so I’m here to share some cute critters with you! It’s Deb here today, for the Design Team. I pulled out an older stamp & dies combo from MFT called Beach Bunnies, and combined it with the recent Picket Fence Studios Slimline Die Cutting System.

BEACH BUNNIES PEEK-A-BOO

It was fun to give these bunnies their own personalities and fur colour!

Cute Critters!

The fun part is that you can choose any colour, for any part of this card, to use! I went with blue for my cardstock, for a ‘blue sky’ kind of background.

CARD DETAILS

Create your card base of 7″ x 8 1/2″. Score and fold in half at 3 1/2″, and set aside. Next, use the PFS Slimline Die Cutting  System to die cut the top layer, and each circle.  I like the added touch of the stitching around the circle dies. Next, use the Lawn Fawn Grassy Border die to die cut 2 strips of grass, from a mid-green cardstock.

Stamp the bunnies, birds and heart in Nocturne ink onto white cardstock. Use your favourite markers to colour the images; I used a combination of Copic and Spectrum Noir, from my stash. Now, use the coordinating Beach Bunnies dies & die cut each image. Add some interest to the die cut grass by blending on some Mowed Lawn distress ink, with a blending tool.

Now, add 2 layers of the grass to the bottom of each circle, using glue or double sided tape. Next, add this layer to the card base, using foam tape or squares. Add foam tape or squares to the back of the die cut images, and then place the bunnies inside each circle. Allowing the bunnies to be partially outside of the circles adds more dimension. Finally, add the birds, heart and a few of the Brutus Monroe Acrylic Bubbles to the front.

Cute Critters!

I decided to add  a die cut sentiment to the front. Use your Big Shot with the MFT Sweet Hello die, and the Memory Box bright yellow glitter paper. This glitter paper is very stiff & sturdy, so you don’t have to layer it. Attach it with glue to the card front, and you’re done!
