Dark Background Stamping

 Hi, Thanks for stopping by! For this card I'm using SSS Autumn Leaves Stamp to create this card. I love leaves stamps and this one is a beauty.

I brightened this photo so you  can see the shimmer I added. Otherwise its not visible in pics.

To start off I stamped the leaves onto 110lb Neenah Cardstock with Tuxedo Black memento ink.

I colored them VERY simply with copic markers (2 or 3 shades of each color)

I then grabbed a dark blue and colored in the background. I made sure to use a marker I had a refill for and that was nice and filled. You don't want a streaky dry marker.😬

Once the background was done I sprayed it with my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SHIMMER Spray EVER! Sparkle Shimmer Spray. I spray it about 10 inches away from my panel and wave the panel into the spray mist to ensure a light even distribution of shimmer. Otherwise you are likely to get some droplets which I did not want for this project. Its really hard to see the sparkle in pics but in person its gorgeous!

Then I die cut THANK YOU from some Holographic cardstock and also die cut it from some Fun foam with Scrapbook.com double side adhesive on the back. 

I added some Trinity Stamps Bubble Bath Gems which are holographic and match perfectly to the sentiment.

I mounted my panel onto a piece of Martha Stewart Navy Cardstock which matched perfectly.

That's it. I hope you like this and thanks so much for stopping by! Stay safe, stay healthy & Stay Crafty my friends!πŸ–✏πŸ–ŒπŸŽ¨

Autumn Rainbow Stamp & Stencil😍

I live leaf cards so when Trinity Stamps xame out woth Autimn Rainbow stamp,stencil and die set I had to have it. I didnt use the die set here. 
But the stamp and stencil made this card a breeze. 
I used the Autimn rainbow stencil with some oxides (Fossilized Amber,  Victorian velvet, peeled paint and stormy sky) for the leaves on 110lb Neenah Cardstock from Cutcardstock.
I then stamped the "veins" with Versamark ink and used WOW Gold embossing powder.  I used a Gold Deco pen for the edges on the panel.  
I added a strip of vellum and my gold foil cardstock sentiment on top. Added Trinity Stamps Gorgeous Gold baubles and thats it. 
I hope you like it. If you have any questions please let me know.
Stay safe, stay healthy & stay crafty my friends πŸ–✏πŸ–ŒπŸŽ¨

Thank you Autumn Slimline Card

Its A SlimLine Card Craze!

🍁🍁Hi! Thanks for stopping by! For this card I started off with a 3.5" x 8.5" panel of Bristol Cardstock. I masked off the sides about 1/2" on each side. 

I stamped Autumn Leaves 🍁images from Simon Says Stamp onto my panel with Versafine Onyx and Embossed it using WOW clear Embossing powder.

Once all of my images were stamped I watercolored the images using Tombow Markers. 

I used a water brush and the markers, that's it! easy peasy.

I then removed my masking strips. I cut a piece of gold cardstock from Recollections (yes, a Michaels brand) because its the same foil cardstock I matted under my panel which is an 1/8" smaller than my card base. And my panel is 1/8" smaller than the foil mat. Once I CAREFULLY glued my gold foil strips down I moved onto stamping my sentiment "Hexagon Greetings" also from Simon Says Stamp in Gold Embossing powder from WOW as well.


I put foam tape under my sentiment and used some Metallic Thread in Gold from Altenew underneath to hold it in place for some Gold accents. Last step was to add some Gold baubles from Trinity Stamps. Love them!

And that's it. I hope you like this. 

The envelope was made from a piece of 8.5"x11" Dark Red cardstock from Cutcardstock. I will have a quick video coming up soon on how I did it. So fast, so easy and sooooo affordable. Just my style, lol!

Shiny Daisies

Its no secret Im a  big fan of Glossy Accents. I use it with a fine tip for glue and For shine. 
For this card I used Trinity stamps "With Sympathy " stamp and "A sentiment for almost everything " and some gems.
To start I stamped my image onto 80lb Neenah from Cutcardstock with Memento Tuxedo black. It never smudges with Copics. I colored my flowers. Let them dry. I colored my background with Black copic in long even strokes to avoid streaking.Then I die cut my panel with a stiching die and another for the white mat. 
I propped that up onto some fun foam for dimension. 
I added some gems to finish it off. To be honest it really looks better in person. Its hard to capture that shine in photos. 
Stay safe, Stay Happy, Stay CRAFTY!πŸ’—✏πŸŽ¨πŸ–ŒπŸ–

Simple Slimline cards! Fast

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. 
For these cards I used Trinity Stamps Slimline Leafy Background and Scripty Birthday set. I made 3 similar cards just changed the colors and cardstock which is from Cutcardstock.
For more details check out my You tube video
I started off by Stamping the leaves with Versafine Onyx onto Neenah 80lb Desert Storm cardstock from Cutcardstock and I used WOW clear embossing powder on top. 
Then I used 2"post it tape(roll) to mask off 3/4" on top and bottom. 
I used Distress inks on 2 cards (picked raspberry, spiced marmalade, mustard seed,twisted citron,peacock feathers & wilted violet)🌈
On the more Autumn one (on top) I used Distress Oxides in Fired Brick, Carved Pumpkin,Fossilized Amber, Peeled Paint & Forrest Moss)
I added 2 strips to frame the border. Black with a thinner white strip on top. 
I die cut HAPPY BIRTHDAY 3x and added the Gold or Silver on top (depending on what card)
I used Trinity stamps Gorgeous Gold Baubles and Stunning Silver for the silver. 
Pretty Simple.
Heres the silver version below. I used pearl embossing powder on top of Versafine Onyx instead of clear. It made it look silver but it started as black ink. Crazy huh?

Have a wonderful day and stay safe,stay happy,stay CRAFTY!πŸŒˆπŸ–ŒπŸŽ¨✏πŸ–

Rainbow Cheer

Who doesnt love a Rainbow? So what friend wouldnt love receiving one on a card? 
To create this card I used several different companies products.
The cardbase is 110lb Neenah Cardstock from @cutcardstock.
The gray stitched panel was cut from Pink & Main rectangles.  Then I used Pink Fresh Studios Color Block Rainbow die and die cut it using Bristol. I used Distress Inks in colors, Picked Raspberry,  Spiced Marmalade,Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron,Mowed Lawn, Chipped Sapphire, Wilted Violet,Shaded Lilac,Victorian Velvet & Spun Sugar. I added thin foam tape behind each ray. KEY: I added the rainbow frame 1st with TEMPORARY adhesive on panel. 
That was my guide to place the rays
Then once all rays were in place I removed the temporary rainbow frame.
I die cut the "friend" word from black cardstock and the shadow from white. This set is from Photoplay. 
Then I added some Studio Katia iridescent gems, some clear sparkle from a Sakura gelly roll pen and white dots too on the background. 
Thats it. I hope you like it.
