Creative Knockouts Challenge #283

Hello!

Wow! It's the end of January already! How did that happen? I can't believe February is just around the corner. Time flies when you are having fun, right?

Today's post is for Creative Knockouts Challenge #283. You will have so much fun at our Challenge Blog!  There is always a fun thing and even more fabulous sponsors.  Our theme this week is "Flower Power"  and our Prize sponsor is Di's Digis .  

We were free to work with whatever stamps we wanted, so I grabbed a brand new release from Joy Clair Stamps called "Martha's Flowers". It's a beautiful & large stamp set that you will definitely want to add to your collection. 

Here is what I created:

I did some embossing with the main flower image using a pearl white embossing powder, then did some random ink smooshing to create the card panel. Some Super Thick Embossing Powder was sprinkled on to add some texture. 

I hope to see you at the challenge! :)

Until next time,

Jess

Rinea Butterfly Collage

Hello crafty friends!

I have another GORGEOUS Rinea project to show you today.

  I just LOVE my second project this month and I couldn't wait to share it with you!  I made this Butterfly Collage to share with you!!

I started by using the Love Foiled Paper Variety Pack and die cut out various shapes and sizes of butterflies. I used a foiled patterned paper for the background and adhered the butterflies in a circular pattern.  I stamped a sentiment in the middle with matching inks. As this project is a dimensional project (the butterflies pop off the page), I removed the glass from a 12x12 frame and added my completed page from the back to let the butterflies pop out. 

I just love how the foiled paper hold's it's shape and die cuts so perfectly!   Thanks for stopping by and I will see you again soon!

#Single with Joy Clair Stamps

Hey crafty friends!

I have a super cute & fun card to share with you today for Joy Clair Stamps! There are so many fantastic sets in this new release, it was hard to choose what to work with first!!  I decided on one of our New Release Stamp Sets called "#Single".   How fun is this??  

I bet you can think of at least one person you would love to send a card made with one of these sentiments! ;)

Here is the card I created with this fun set:

To make my background, I used an Ink Smooshing Technique.   

I hope you are inspired to head out and make some really great cards with this set! 

Have a great day and I will see you again soon!

One Wild Ride with SparkleNSprinkle

Hi Crafty Friends!

It's time for another SparkleNSprinkle January Release. Today I'm using "One Wild Ride" add we are making a masculine card. Ready?

Here is the supply list:

SNS Supply List:

Stamps:
One Wild Ride Rubber 927
Embossing Powders:
Black EP170
Blackened Bronze Super Thick EP454
Fleur de Lis EP465
Adhesives:
1/2" Tear-ific Tape SAT04
Other:
Nuvo Crystal Drops Silver Lining 655N
Nuvo Aqua Flow Pens
Nuvo Embellishment Mousse Seaspray Green 817N

I really wanted to have a distressed, masculine feeling....and I think I accomplished it.... so lets see what you think!

I started by stamping my motorcycle with Versamark Ink and embossed with Black Detail Embossing Powder.  I colored it with Aqua Flow Pens. Then I went to town with Super Thick Embossing Powders!  I randomly sprinkled on Fleur de Lis & Blackened Bronze Embossing Powders and heat set from  the underside until it melted. Seaspray Green Embellishment Mousse was rubbed on the edges of the panel for more aging of the paper. I used an edge distresser and gave the edges a good distress. 

I used an embossing folder on a piece of craft metal for the back panel and then I used some sand paper to distress the top.

 

I accented the card with Silver Lining Crystal Drops.  I think that is all a masculine card needs for embellishment, don't you?

Have a great week!

Hello crafty friends!

It's time for a new challenge over at Creative Knockouts Challenge #283!  Our theme this week is  "In Stitches" and our sponsor is Crafty Sentiments.

Ninabrook January 2019

Hello friends!

I have my January Showcase for Ninabrook Papercrafting to share with you today!

For this month’s kit, I used the Kaisercraft Limelight Bundle! It's filled with tons of pretty & fresh greens. I was super inspired! I created 3 mini cards, 2 A2 Sized Cards, one round 5” Round Card and a single page layout!  I even still had supplies leftover!! 

I did “borrow” some leftover supplies from my January Card Kit (flower, flat backed pearls) along with some brads, buttons, ribbon scraps and sequins from my stash.  It was a great “stash-buster” opportunity to embellish my cards! 

The stamps I chose were from Close to My Heart.

Here is what I created:

A2 Standard Card

I hope you enjoy my projects and it inspires you to create your own this month with this gorgeous bundle!  Have fun creating!
