Greenhouse Fun with Rinea Foiled Paper & Poppystamps

Good morning crafty friends!

I hope you are all doing fantastic today. I am very excited to share a new card with you today featuring  Rinea products along with Poppystamps!  I am once again using the Greenhouse Potted Plants die and we will be doing a bit of paper piecing today.  First up, supplies! 

Supply List:

Greenhouse Potted Plants Die by poppystamps

Copper/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper

Arctic Starstruck Foiled Paper NEW

Ebony/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper

Jade/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper

Mocha/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper

Ghost Ink 2.0

Stamps & Scissors

Tombow Glue

Big Shot or other die cutting machine

Let's have some fun! You will start by diecutting all of your pieces. I used the Mocha/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper for the base frame and also cut it out a second time using Copper/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper. For the leaves, I used Jade/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper, the birds came from Ebony/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper.

 



I used the Copper/Gold Glossy foiled paper as my base and added a layer of our BRAND NEW Arctic Starstruck Foiled Paper. You are going to LOVE it - it's so pretty.

Next, I used the Tombow Glue to add my base frame to the Arctic Starstruck layer. Once that dried, I trimmed out some of copper pots to layer over some of the Mocha pots and glued them down.

The rest of the bits and pieces were just glued down as I built my scene. It was a fun project!



Finally, I stamped my sentiment with Ghost Ink onto a piece of Copper/Gold Foiled Paper that was trimmed to fit inside the frame. Once it dried for about 30 seconds, I simply wiped off the ink and like magic, my sentiment appeared! Ghost Ink is just so neat! You definitely need to pick some up if you haven't already.

You can really see the Arctic Starstruck Foiled Paper here!!

Remember, you can save 10% on your Rinea order when you shop HERE. Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you are inspired to use your Rinea Foiled Paper and poppystamps dies.

See you again soon!

Ninabrook Cards - May 2018

Hello crafty people!

Time for my reveal of my May 2018 Ninabrook designed cards!  I'm so excited to showcase these beautiful cards - I had so much fun making them! These cards feature the super cute paperpack called "Joy Parade"!  

First up, my masterpiece! LOL  I created this Explosion Flower Box - Flower Surprise!

Don't you just love this?  I started with an Explosion Box template I found online - pretty simple! I think this was pretty similar :)

I only did 2 layers plus the lid!  The flower pot in the middle was quite fun to make!  I used a template I found in Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine (horray for templates!). It is a UK based magazine, but you can become a free member and have access to their template online!  How nice is that? I just did the flowers from my own as I wanted a few sizes, but it's a pretty simple rolling technique. A paper quilling tool is helpful, and make sure you have a nice strong and quick drying adhesive!  I added the stickers and die cuts that came in the kit - they are just too cute!  I can for sure see a planner page or scrapbook page with these cute accent pieces. The possibilities truly are endless.

(top of the box)

(I added a few little sequins to the centers of the flowers!)

(a pic from the front so you can see the flower pot better).

I just free hand cut the leaves.  Little bits of bakers twine accented the tags. 

So.....now that I showcased my masterpiece, on to the rest of the regular cards! hahaha

 I just LOVED this cute TV!  The sentiment is from a Stamps of Life stamp set :)

(again, another cute Stamps of Life stamp set complemented this adorable card!)

All of the above cards are just your standard A2 size. Isn't it amazing how much you can do with a bundle of paper and a few embellishments/die cuts? Don't think complicated - just create!!!! Have fun - and don't forget to pick up your AMAZING ninabrook.com product bundles!  They are a tremendous value and you will just LOVE it all!  

I'm entering my Explosion Surprise Flowers card in the following challenges:

I hope I inspired you just a little bit today. See you again really soon!

Splitcoast Stampers Card Sketch Challenge #696

Hello crafty people!

It's time for this week's Splitcoast Stampers Card Sketch !

Each week, there is a brand new sketch out to play along with - interpret it however you would like and play along. 

This week's sketch was designed by: Diane Carpenter

  

Here is what I created:

I used the Crate Paper/Maggie Holmes Carousel Paper line to create this fun card (it was a PeachyCheap find!). The birthday stamp came from Stampendous Bouquet for You Stamp Set - you can pick that up at SparkleNSprinkle!

I hope you enjoy this card and will head on over to Splitcoast to play along! :)

Have a great day!

Scrapy Land Challenge #86

Hello friends!

Welcome to Scrapy Land {Challenge #86}!  I'm very excited to share my project with you.



I used the following dies to create this card:


 Neat & Tangled - Succulent Cover Plate

Memory Box - Plush Narrow Succulent

I used the Neat & Tangled Succulent Cover Plate to die cut a piece of Tonic Studios Brushed Mirror Cardstock and adhered it to a piece of silver glitter paper. SOOO pretty (and so hard to photograph! LOL)

Using the Memory Box Plush Narrow Succulent Die I cut some white felt then molded the pieces into what resembled a calla lily (I think so anyways!).  Side note - I have a soft spot for Calla Lilies as they were my wedding flowers. :)  I did use a hot glue gun to mold the shape.  The leaves came from the same Elizabeth Craft Designs Lilac 2 Die that I used last week. You can find a similar die HERE. I used it to cut out some green felt. :)  I can see this becoming a staple leaf die in my stash!

The rest of the card was fairly simple - a bit of lace, black cardstock, pink cardstock and adhesive! :)

A little about the challenge:

The theme is always ANYTHING GOES using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.  In addition, we have TWO WINNERS for each challenge.  One will be a random winner and the other is chosen by the Design Team.  Each winner will receive a generous $10 gift certificate to Scrapy Land.

Scrapy Land carries over 55 brands of dies, so chances are you have a few of the brands in your stash!  You can see all the brands carried under the Products category.

Please link back to this Scrapy Land Challenge and include the link to this challenge on your blog post.  It would also be extremely helpful if you would list the brands of dies used in your project.  (Sometimes we can't tell if an item is a die cut or chipboard.)

We can't wait to see what you create!  It can be any style you like from CAS to mixed media and everything in between.    Just be sure there's a die cut from a brand that Scrapy Land sells!

Good luck!

See you soon,

Jess

MHKDesigns - Designer Inspiration January 2018

Hello friends!

It's time to share my first MHKDesigns card for the year! I used the new release "Framed Favorites" to create this card.

Here is the Handmade Card that I created:

I really pushed my creative envelope to create this card. I printed off the digi and watercolored it with Pearlescent Watercolors. I added a TON of accents!  I die cut some vellum shapes, wreaths, circles and glittered shpes and distressed the edges for a "shabby" feel.  I also dug into my stash of paper flowers and went a little floral crazy - but I love how it turned out!  I'm trying to push my talents this year and try styles I don't normally gravitate towards. What do you think?

I hope you love this card as much as I do!  

I'm entering this card at the following challenges:

Crafter's Castle - Anything Goes Challenge #1
Do-Al(l) Kreatives - Challenge #13 - Anything Goes
Classic Design Team Challenge Blog - January 2018

Thanks for stopping by!  Feel free to leave a comment - I love to hear feedback :)

See you next time!
