Stick It Down - March 2016

Hello friends!

Welcome to another fun month at Stick It Down!

Here is the fun sketch we have to use this month:

Here is what I came up with:

I used a glitter inlay technique to make the hexagons!  I simply took my 2.5" Tear-ific Tape (from SparkleNSprinkle) and attached it to a piece of cardstock.  I put my hexagon Thinlet Dies (Stamps of Life) on top and use the Ink Transfer Plate (Sizzix) in place of a regular cutting plate.  When you run it through the Big Shot, it just cuts through the top layer of the Tear-ific Tape, leaving your design. You can then pop out the pieces, revealing the adhesive and add glitter.  I used Pinkerbell and Lavender Iris Glitters (from SparkleNSprinkle). It's a really fun technique!

I do hope you will come out and play along with us this month!

Until next time,

SparkleNSprinkle - All About Bees!

Hello friends!

 I'm here again with SparkleNSprinkle with a fun new card using the Honey Bees Stamp Set.  I just LOVE this set - I've make 6+ cards with it already!

Here is my SparkleNSprinkle Supply List:

Honey Bees Stamp Set {775P5}

Clear Detail Embossing Powder {EP280}

Gold Detail Embossing Powder {EP168}
Nuvo Crystal Drops - Navy Blue {659N}
Nuvo Crystal Drops - Buttermilk {652N}
Black Detail Embossing Powder {EP171}
Tan Pull Ribbon 1/8" {MONR06}
Versamark Ink {VM-001}
Foam Squares {01615}
Tear-ific Tape 1/2" {SAT04}

To make this card, I first started with a piece of yellow cardstock.  I took my "Honeycomb" stamp and randomly stamped the image over both corners using Versamark Ink.  I sprinkled on my Black Detail Embossing Powder and heat set.  Next came fun with the Nuvo Crystal Drops!  I used both the Navy Blue & Buttermilk Crystal Drops colors to add some extra dimension to the card.  I set the piece aside to dry overnight.

Once the piece was dry, I stamped the bees in Versamark and used Gold Detail Embossing Powder.  The sentiment was stamped with Versamark Ink and embossed with Black Detail.  To age the look of the card, I took some brown ink and sponged around the edges of the layers and a bit overtop of the embossed honeycombs.

To make the main sentiment piece, I punched out 2 circles of cardstock (one in white, one in orange to layer with).  I stamped the honeycomb image with Versamark and used Clear Detail Embossing Powder.  Then I used brown ink sponged overtop of the embossing to make the honeycombs pop.  I stamped the Bee Mine sentiment with Versamark and embossed with Gold Detail Embossing Powder.  I popped it up using Foam Squares and attached it to the piece of orange cardstock.  

 

I attached all the layers together using Tear-ific Tape and a foam square to add the Pull Ribbon.

I hope you enjoy this card!  Go ahead and give it a try!

Until next time,

Creative Corner Challenges - Bunnies Everywhere!

Hello crafty friends!

Easter is just around the corner and Team Jess decided to use the theme "Bunnies Everywhere" this week at Creative Corner Challenges!

We worked with an amazing sponsor - Bugaboo Digi Stamps!  I love these whimsical stamps.  So much fun!



We were given 5 digis to work with and since 2 of my team members wanted to use the same one, I was able to use two of them!  So much fun!  I printed them off and went to work coloring. I used my Twin Touch Markers from Close to My Heart to color the images.  I worked with "EB Egg Tower" and "Make it Snappy - Hoppy Easter to Ewe".

Here is what I created:

I do hope you will come out and play along with us this week! You could win a fab prize from Bugaboo.  Be sure to check out all of the other Design Team Members work. 

Until next time,

Jess
