Creative Knockouts #267 - Embossing

Hello crafty friends!

It's time for a new challenge over at Creative Knockouts Challenge #267!  Our theme this week is "Wet or Dry Embossing" and our sponsor is "Little Miss Muffet Stamps".  I chose to work with a stamp set called "Jack'o Lantern" - perfect for a cute Halloween card!

Here is what I created:

In a nutshell....I printed off the digi and used the Clear Mark Embossing Pen to add Tangy Tangerine Embossing Powder to the pumpkin.  I used Nuvo Aqua Flow Pens to color the image and once again used the Embossing Pen to add the embossing powder to his beak.

The sentiment was stamped with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Tangy Tangerine Embossing Powder. I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder on the green cardstock in the background to add even more texture to the card. I just received the NEW Nuvo Vintage Drops so I just HAD to use them on the card to finish it off. I used the Pioneer Green. 

I hope to see you at the challenge! :)

Until next time,

Jess

Trick or Treat with Rinea

Hello crafty friends!



Of course I had to make a cute card for my second Rinea Project  of the month! I just love this cute little Fox Die from Tonic Studios, so I couldn't help but do a paper piecing card for this project!

For this project, I once again used  the Haunted Variety Pack.   The Starstruck Marigold/Gold Foiled Paper was the perfect tone for the fox!  I die cut white cardstock for some of the accents and also some  Glossy Ebony Black/Gold  Foiled Paper. The sentiment was also cut form the   Glossy Ebony Black/Gold .  All the pieces were glued together with Nuvo Deluxe adhesive. It's so much fun to create these piece creatures!









For the grass, I used the Emerald/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper. I simply cut a 4" strip and used scissors to randomly cut the grass stalks! Super easy!.



The background was a white cardstock that was embossed with a leaves embossing folder.  I also added a gold foiled paper oval in the background (I just used a scrap piece - and used the lovely GOLD side of the foiled paper!). 

I used a Tonic Studios Trick or Treat die cut from Glossy Ebony Black/Gold foiled paper for my sentiment. I was playing with some paper quilling techniques this month, so I decided to use a tiny quilled circle on her bow to decorate!  Isn't it cute?  Have fun making your own cute build-a-bear style cards! :)



Supply List:
- Haunted Variety Pack
- White Cardstock
- Tonic Dies (Frankie Fox, Trick or Treat, Mixed Edge Ovals)
- Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive
- Scissors
- Quilling tool
- paper trimmer 

See you next time!

Christmas Kitty with SNS

Hello friends!!

I have another cute project to share with you for SparkleNSprinkle! It's that time of year - time to start on your Holiday Cards!  You are going to just love this sweet kitty stamp!!

SNS Supply List:

Versmark Ink VM001

1/2" Tear-ific Tape SAT04

Tonic Studios Mixed Edge Oval Dies 1456e
Christmas Kitty Rubber Stamp 921

Versafine Ink - Black
Nuvo Marker Pens (Assorted Sets)

Clear Mark Embossing Pen 103N

Let's get creating!  

Step 1 - Create your focal image!

I started by stamping the sweet kitty onto a piece of white cardstock using Versafine Ink. I used my Nuvo Marker Pens to color up the kitty. 

     
Once she was all colored, I used my Nuvo Clear Mark Embossing Pen to add Blue Silver Embossing Powder to the string of lights. It's a pretty neat way to add small details of embossing powder.



 

I used the SNS Dimensional Glue to add Christmas Lights Glitter and Fire Engine Red Glitter to the lights for sparkle!  Then the kitty was fussy cut out.

  

Step 2 - Work on your BACKGROUND

I cut some ovals using the Tonic Mixed Edge Ovals die and stamped the string of lights image with Versafine Ink. Once again I colored the lights using Nuvo Marker Pens and added Silver Embossing Powder to the lights using the Clear Mark Embossing Pen. I did add a bit of the glitter to these lights too.

 

      

Step 3 - Sentiments

I stamped the Sentiment with Versamark Ink and embossed with Red Apple Embossing Powder.

Step 4 - Put It ALL Together and Embellish!

All the layers were added using the 1/2" Tear-ific Tape.  Drops of Ruby Slippers Glitter Drops were added in the corners for accents.  I used the Christmas Sequins - they are just too cute!

I hope you like this sweet kitty card!  It's just an adorable set - I know you will love it!

Scrapy Land Challenge

Now for a bit about my project!

I used the Elizabeth Craft Designs - Lilac 2 to create this beautiful card! 

NOW, this card has exactly 100 double layered flowers on it - REALLY!  I know because I counted each and every one as I created!! I simply cut all the layers, then used a Liquid Glass product to combine the layers (I used tweezers).

  

Next, I stamped 100 onto a piece of cream cardstock using a purple ink. I used this as my template to adhere my flowers!



Next, I simply started attaching the flowers to fill  in the numbers!  Once the numbers were filled in, I added the leftovers to the edges to create a border. To finish off the flowers, I used a bit of Green Crystal Drops.

I think that this card fit the 100th Celebration perfectly!!!!

We can't wait to see what you create for this Special Occasion!  It can be any style you like from CAS to mixed media and everything in between.    Just be sure a die cut from any brand that Scrapy Land sells is included on your project.  Don't forget to Share this with your friends for additional chances to win one of the FABULOUS prizes.

Please remember to:

• include at least one brand of die that Scrapy Land sells
• include a link to this challenge on your blog post
• use the InLinkz button to add your project
• listing the brands of dies used on your project would be extremely helpful
