Gone Fishing with Sparkle N Sprinkle!

Hello friends!

I have a new card to share with you today featuring the new stamp from SparkleNSprinkle called "Gone Fishing".

Here is the complete supply list:

Gone Fishin Stamp Set {#778}

Military Green Embossing Powder {EP288}

Versamark Ink {VM-001}

1/4" Tear-ific Tape {SAT-01}

Chameleon Glitter {G1137}

Foam Sqaures {01615}

First I stared by making the background. I took 2 pieces of 1/4" Tear-ific Tape and adhered them across the bottom of my vanilla panel.  I sprinkled on Military Green Embossing Powder and heat set. I stamped the sentiment from the Gone Fishin Stamp Set on the top of the panel using Versamark Ink, sprinkled on the Military Green Embossing Powder and heat set. 

I cut a piece of vellum the same size as my vanilla panel.  I used the anti-static bag to prevent flyaway embossing powder, then stamped my fishing image using Versamark. I sprinkled on the Military Green Embossing Powder once again, then heat set.  To attach the vellum without adhesive, I simply used brads in each corner. 

I popped up the whole panel with Foam Squares and attached it to a brown layer of cardstock, then adhered to the cardbase using 1/4" Tear-ific Tape. 

To finish off the card, I added 3 Foam Sqaures, peeled off the backing and sprinkled on some Chameleon Glitter.

I hope you enjoy this card!  I love the silhouettes of the stamp set and the cute sayings!

See you next week with another fun card!

Just Go Fishing

Hello friends!

I'm back with another fun creation for SparkleNSprinkle, featuring the new Stamp Set called "Just Go Fishing".

I really love these stamps - so versatile and perfect for Father's Day!

Here is my supply list:

Color Burst Ultramarine Blue Watercolor Powder

Ocean Marbled Embossing Powder EP438

Just Go Fishing DIGI 779

Clear Detail Embossing Powder EP280

Journal Mixed Media Stamp Set 606

Versamark Ink VM001

Emobssable Clear Acetate 99602

Anti-Static Bag 99512

White Detail Embossing Powder EP298

Clamp Tweezers {tweezers}

1/8" Tear-ific Tape {SAT02}

I first started by printing off the Digital Image. I cut it to 3.75X5 inches.  To paint the background, I gently sprinkled on the Ultramarine Blue Watercolor Powder, then took an AquaPainter brush to move the color around.  I think it created such a pretty background!  I adhered all my layers using Tear-ific Tape.

I added 2 more layers of cardstock to add some dimension.  I cut the Embossable Acetate to 5.5X4.25 - to cover the entire card front.  I swiped the entire piece of Acetate with the Anti-Static Bag.  I used Versamark to stamp the hoenycomb image from Journal Mixed Media to the corners.  I think it kind of looks like fishermen's nets!  Then I sprinkled on the White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set carefully (making sure not to melt the acetate!).

To make my brads, I used my Tweezers to hold the brad firmly.  I dipped the top into Versamark Ink, then dipped it into my Ocean Embossing Powder.  I heat set carefully and then quickly (while still warm!) re-dipped it into the embossing powder, heat setting a second time.  I love that you can create any color brad you want using this method!  

I let each brad cool down (be careful - they can get very hot!).  To attach the Acetate layer to my card, I simply punched holes in each corner of my cardfront (including the Acetate) and used the Brad to attach it.  

I fussy cut out my sentiment and then covered the entire piece with Versamark and Clear Detail Embossing Powder.  Once heat set, I attached to my cardfront using Tear-ific Tape.

I hope you enjoyed this card!

Until next time,

Jess

Creative Corner Challenges - Ladies Night~!

Hello friends!

It's time for another fun Challenge over at Creative Corner Challenges!

Our theme this week is Ladies night - and we had no sponsor so we had free reign over what we created!

Here is my card:

What is a Ladies Night without the wine? ;)  I stamped the image using Memento Black Ink and used watercolor powders to paint!  I know I had a little oops with the red in one spot, but it adds to the one-of-a-kind nature, don't you think? The sentiment was stamped using Versamark and then embossed with SparkleNSprinkle's Black Detail Embossing Powder.  I had a lot of fun making this card - it will be even more fun choosing who gets to receive it! :)

I really hope you will come out and play along this week!  We love seeing all your fun creations.

Until next time,

Jess
