Rinea Christmas in July

Hello friends!

I was so excited when I opened my Rinea Designer Package and found this BEAUTIFUL Jade/Gold color of foiled paper!!!!!!  It's just amazing - and one of my favorite colors to boot!  

I am just in LOVE with the Jade/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper! I'm pretty sure that most of my Holiday cards this year are going to incorporate some of this beautiful foiled paper. I used the Crafter's Pack to create this card. I die cut the leaves for the flower using a thin die set (the foiled paper cuts beautifully with dies!). For the background, I cut a piece 4x5.25 inches and ran it through my Big Shot with a cool Tim Holtz embossing folder.  I just love how crisp and clean the foiled paper comes out with this technique - and it will retain the shape perfectly!!!

  

(You may remember seeing this foiled paper on a previous card I created HERE).

For my sentiment, I actually grabbed an Artist's Pack of our brand new MISFITS Variety Pack!  I love these little packs - they have an assortment of colors that are perfect to run through your diecutter - and you don't need to buy a full pack of one color! I layered the "joy" using the "Misfits" Mocha/Mocha Starstruck and the "Misfits" Silver/Silver Startstruck Foiled Paper.

I know you will love working with this amazing product! If you are looking at trying it, the Misfits are a perfect way to start, as it contains an assortment of colors and both glossy and startstruck versions.  I hope you enjoyed this card and I will see you next time!

I'm soooo excited to share with you my "Christmas in July" cards for Ninabrook.com this month!  I sure enjoyed working with the Merry & Bright Bundle of products! 

The extra supplies I used in addition to the bundle were:

Cardbases & Envelopes

3D Foam Squares

From my stash: Red Pull Ribbon, black & red ink, holiday greeting sentiment stamps & some red cardstock

Other than that, I just focused on using the items in the awesome bundle! I have TONS of leftovers to make more than these five cards too - you will easily be able to create a ton of HOMEMADE Christmas & Holiday cards!!!!

Here are the cards I designed:

You are just going to love the products - from the tin pins, to the tags and the fun stickers!  Lots of Christmas time fun to be had. I can't wait to share with you again!  Until next time, stay CRAFTY!

Christmas In July - Southern Ridge Trading Company

Hello friends!

I have a brand new card to share with you this month for Southern Ridge Trading Company!  Of course I tried to keep with my "Christmas in July" theme - here is what I created:

Let me share how I made it!  These are the Southern Ridge products I used on this card:

Small Merry Deer Mix

Pine Branches - (not current but you could use either Bare Branches or Pine Branch)

  

Ok!  Let's get crafting! :)

I covered my dual branch in green Glitter Accents using a palette knife and heat embossed the other branch with a dark green embossing powder, Magic Speckle Embossing Powder and Stampendous Embossing Ink.  I love that Magic Speckle adds a Pearlescent look to the piece!

My sweet little deer was embossed with Stampendous Embossing Ink, White Detail Embossing Powder and Magic Speckle Embossing Powder. I like to add multiple layers to my chipboard pieces to ensure there is full coverage of the piece! I also colored a tiny bit on her horns using a Gold Glitter Marker.

I used a really cool background paper that looks like a book cover! To make "snow" I used the Nuvo Glimmer Paste and just smeared it on with a palette knife. 

I also used the "snow" on my sentiment!

I hope you enjoy this sweet little Christmas Card!  I had a lot of fun making it - playing with "snow" in +30 weather seems much more fun than -30! LOL

Here are a few more pictures of my card:

  

I also used the following supplies:

- White Cardstock

- Green Cardstock

- SparkleNSprinkle Brushable Glue

- SparkleNSprinkle Dimensional Glue

- Foam Squares

See you again really soon!

Papercraft Business Challenge - July 2018

Welcome to our July 2018 Papercraft Business Challenge!

Our theme is Anything Goes!  So, I went with Christmas In July!!

Here is what I created:

I actually pulled out an old Simon Says Stamp Card Kit and played with it's contents to create this card. I love tucking things away and then finding things to play with later.   You can't see it in this picture but there is actually texture on both the background papers. I'm so happy I tucked it away to play with later. 

I’m entering this card in the following challenges:

I truly hope you will join in on this special challenge!

See you all next time!

SparkleNSprinkle - Christmas with the Elf Peeker

Hello friends!

It's time for a super fun "Christmas in July" creation for SparkleNSprinkle!  Today I'm featuring the newest stamp release called "Elf Peeker".  Isn't he ADORABLE??? I just love it!

Here is my SNS Supply List (remember you can click on each item and it will take you straight to the shop!):

Elf Peeker Stamp Set #858

2.5” Tear-ific Tape SAT11

¼” Tear-ific Tape SAT01

Tonic Studios Happy Holidays Die #1401e

Tonic Studios Die ZigZag & Floral Motif 1446e

Cystal Drops – Autumn Red 683N

Waterscape Glitter G1108

Tonic Nuvo Glitter Markers

Aquaflow Pen – Evergreen Fern 902n

Aquaflow Pen – Aqua Splash 908n

Aquaflow Pen – Rustic Oak 901n

Pearlescent Watercolors NPWC16

Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive 200N

To make this card, I started with creating the background.  I cut a piece of Aqua cardstock using the Tonic Studios ZigZag & Floral Motif Die. I love how intricate these dies cut and it's perfect every time!  I added 2.5" Tear-ific Tape to the back side so the adhesive showed through the zigzags. To the exposed adhesive I added Waterscape Glitter and burnished in well with my finger tool. Soooo pretty!

 

Next, I went to work on my actual image.  I stamped the Elf Peeker image with Versafine Black ink and colored him in using the Nuvo Glitter Markers and the Aquaflow Markers.  These are such awesome little tools!  They dry quickly too. I used a little bit of Pearlescent Watercolor around the elf too. He's so cute! I trimmed the image and adhered it to a solid piece of aqua cardstock using 1/4" Tear-ific Tape. I cut out the sentiment using the Happy Holiday's Tonic Die - you can find tons of cute holiday sayings on the SNS Website!  I used the brand new Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to adhere the sentiment to my image. I added some Autumn Red Crystal Drops to each of the corners and let them dry.  Once dry, all the layer were attached with 1/4" Tear-ific Tape.  I used red cardstock for my cardbase and you can see a bit of it through my ZigZag background!  Neat!

I hope you enjoyed this card!  See you next time!

Next, I added both strips of 1/4" & 1/2" Tear-ific Tape to my pink cardstock and sprinkled on both the Mermaid & Ballerina Glitters - burnishing well with my finger tool.

  

Next, I made some super cute Glitter Roses using the technique Demo Donna featured in this video.I used the Ballerina Glitter and 1/2" Tear-ific Tape. 

    

   

After I finished, I simply started assembling the card. I used 1/2" Tear-ific Tape.

I added a bit of Mermaid Glitter to the sentiment too. 

I edged the outside using Pink Flambe Embellishment Mousse. Finally, I added the Bubble Gum Crystal Drops to finish the card.
