Try Stampin' On Tuesday #401

hey Stampers!  Sorry I have been so quiet.  I  hurt back about a month ago and the pain until recently has made extremely difficult to sit in a hard chair but I am on the mend  and bringing you a new challenge from Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  So we are on sketch 401 and this is our inspiration for the challenge. 

So for my card today this is the sketch we are using..  I did some of what I call faux mats.  Instead of matting my elements with more card stock, I used my glitter marker from Nuvo called Urban Graphite.    So here is my card for this sketch challenge.  I used the marker around on the layer around the yellow square.  I also used it around the card base before I added the green piece.  The optional element this week is Frames.  I didn't really utilize that element.  The dragonfly, hearts, and little circles are from a  new line from Queen Co for foiling.  I used the Stick ems Spring (which is the dragonfly, hearts, and circles) along with the purple and blue foil from them. My gemstones are the iridescent bubbles also from Queen & Co. 

My sentiment comes from the Sentiment Stackers Die#2.  To create the oval frame, I used my Never Ending Oval Dies   All of the card stock came from my stash.  I stamped the "you're awesome in black ink on to a white piece of card stock and then trimmed it down to fit on the card. 

For the dragonfly, I wanted some lift.  So I took my Scotch foam tape and trimmed it to fit under the wings.  It makes it appear like the wings are lifted.  I really enjoyed this sketch and I love how my card turned out. 

I will be back next week with another challenge from Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  I am guest designing through April.  I hope you will participate in this week's challenge. 

Thank you for stopping by.  Come and create something with me.

Tea Party

Hey Stampers!  Happy St.Patty's Day!  I am bringing my new favorite card to make.  I watched Jennifer McGuire's video on this card and I have made three already.  I love it.  Its called Pop-UP Shadow Box cards. 

She gives several examples.  I chose to use what I consider the easiest one.  I am using images from the most recent release from Heartcraft Paper Alice, Cheshire Cat, and White Rabbit.  I colored my images with my Copics.  For White Rabbit I used N0, N2, and N4 for his body.  R35 for the hearts on his shirt, Y17 for his watch and E40 for his scroll, and E55 for his eyes. Cheshire Cat I used RV14 and V09.  Alice I used E00 and E000 for her skin, Y13,15,08 for her hair.  B91, B93, and B95 for her dress and hairband. R35 for her lips and her eyes are G17.  B99 for her tiny little shoes. 

I hand wrote the sentiment with an EK Success Journaling Pen.  The blue stripes are Blue Mirror peel offs from Love from Lizi and the glitter red around the inside of the circle is from stash.   This card when folded flat will fit a standard A2 envelope. 

You can find these amazing images and lots of others at HeartCraft Paper.  This is my project for today and I hope you liked it.  Thank you for stopping by.  Come and create something with me,

It’s okay to be Bonkers

Hey Stampers!  Happy Thursday! Today's post is going to be pretty short.  I am currently posting from my phone as our home internet is down until sometime today.  Today I am bringing you another image from the latest release from HeartCraft Paper.  The Cheshire Cat is my favorite from Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter would be my second. I love this saying.  I wanted to do something a little different so I printed everything on Neenan Solar White 110# card stock.   

I trimmed the sentiment down to fit into the 5x7 frame I found in my stash.  I colored my Mad Hatter with my Poly Chromo pencils.  I apologize but I didn't keep track of what I used. To give him a "mad" look, I added some Ebony Black Nuvo drops to his eyes, offset of course.  I added some clear glossy dots and matted the frame with some white glitter card stock.  I apologize for the shadowed picture but it was the best I had.  I am going to bring him to work and set him on my desk.  Them I will always have a smile.  

So this is my project for today. I hope you check out the amazing products that Monica has to offer. This is my 9th release with her and they just keep getting better and better. Don’t forget we have a current anything goes challenge over on the Challenge Blog.  Winners announced on April 1st. 

Thank you for stopping by today. Come and create something.

It's Easter Time...almost

Hey Stampers!  Here is my offering for today's Try Stampin'on Tuesday Sketch Challenge. Here is your sketch inspiration for this week.

I am trying to get an early start on my Easter cards so I decided to make this an Easter card.  I used an Echo Park paper kit called Celebrate Easter that I purchased at my local Tuesday Morning.  I will see if I can find it to link for you guys because I honestly have no idea how old it is.  The optional element this week is monochromatic, which I didn't do.  For my circle elements I used stickers from the paper kit and I used some of my Nuvo drops because I thought the front needed something.  I used Yellow Bird Glitter drops,  Calming Aqua Crystal Drops, and Supernova Dream Drops (these drops were exclusive to the Tonic Kit they came in so I can't link them). 

And here is the inside of the card. I used another sticker from the sheet. 

If you stopped by early in the morning, nothing is linked because our internet  is out till Thursday. I will try to link the products from work. I am so sorry about that.   This is my card for this challenge. I hope you play along. 

Thank you for stopping by. Come and create something with me.

Just a Little Release Day!

 Hey Stampers!  Happy Friday!  Not only is it Friday it is also release day at Heartcraft Paper.  This month's release is Alice in Wonderland themed.  When I saw this guy I knew I had to use him.  Cheshire Cat was always my favorite part of Alice in Wonderland.

I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do for my project when I came across my Rainbow Thermo Deco foil and I knew what I wanted.  I ran the images and sentiments through my laminator using the foil.  I fussy cut everything out.  Now normally I wouldn't post a photo with
that glare but I wanted you to be able to see the way the foil looked.  I picked a teal card base and called it good.  I didn't add anything else because there is so much shine from the foil.

You know what else happens on Release Day, a new challenge has gone live and we doing a blog hop to celebrate. As always, the winners from the challenge will be announced next month on Release Day.

Here is the order of the Blop Hop.  You can also link up with the party link below.  We are trying something new this month with this link so forgive us if there are "bugs" this time.
