Die Cuts Challenge

The newest challenge at Melonheadz is to use Die Cuts.  Each challenge last for 2 weeks so you have plenty of time to create a card and enter it in for a chance to win digital stamps! Come join us!

Since I have very few die cuts in my collection, I used Sizzex 8pk Circle dies.  I created this cute card using 4 different circle sizes and the adorable kitty digi's from Melonheadz. The heart patterned pink paper was actually in a 6x6" paper pad I found at Walmart for only $3.00!  It was a great buy with 100 sheets of paper inside with 20 different patterns. The statement on top reads, "You've CAT to be Kitten me right Meow!" Stamp on the bottom circle says, "You're purrfect!" I hope you enjoy this card. Please feel free to leave me a comment and share your projects too! :)

A token of appreciation

I received a package in the mail the other day and inside was this beautiful pink die cut heart. The sentiment stamped on the front reads, "A token of appreciation."  I absolutely loved this sweet and simple addition to a package I was already looking forward to receiving!  Could not throw this away and decided to incorporate it into a love-themed card.

In The Garden

 Creative Craft Cottage is having a challenge sponsored by All Dressed Up.  The theme: In The Garden.  Hopefully spring is soon on the way!  Here is my card using images from All Dressed Up. 
This one is called "Three Little Party Girls". I fussy cut each one out so you could see more of the background I created for them.

 

 The daffodils and roses were gold embossed on colored paper and cut out.

  The sentiment reads, "Friends are flowers in the garden of life."  It's from a TPC Studio stamp set and seemed perfect for this project.

Join us for this challenge! Winner receives 2 digital stamps! Keep the creativity flowing! :)

Day 7 - One stamp set, several designs

For my online card class this week at OnlineCardClasses.com, I just realized I have been using mainly 2 stamp sets. Today's class explained how multiple techniques can be used for the same stamp set to achieve very different looks on clean and simple cards.

The stamp sets I have been using are: 1) I Heart You stamp set by American Crafts  2) My Minds Eye Fine and dandy True Blue stamp set.  This card uses the cloud and sun stamp by My Minds Eye and the sentiment is from TPC Studio Rubber Stamps.

One of the techniques was Pop-Up Multi-Embossing shared by Jennifer McGuire.   I do not have clear embossing powder (yet, it's on the way!) so I used 2 different colors, silver and gold, on the sentiment.

This card will be entered in to -Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - All things bright and beautiful. - Loves Rubber Stamps - Anything Goes!

Supplies used:

• My Minds Eye Fine and dandy True Blue stamp set
•  65lb card stock by Pacon Creative Products
•  Colored pigment ink squares from Tuesday Morning 
•  Core'dinations 65lb cardstock from Jo-Ann 
• Recollections Gold and Silver Embossing Powder
• TPC Studio Rubber Stamps 
• Sequins 

Hearts and Love Challenge at Melonheadz

"Hearts and Love Season" is in full swing!  I created this card for the challenge at Melonheadz and hope you will visit them to join in!

 

A closer look at the sentiment.  This beautiful "from the heart" stamp came from a thank you clear stamp set online at OrientalTrading.com 

A white lace bow was made for the side of the card and I hot glued a plastic flower embellishment with a Fairy Tale charm to the center.  The digital stamp of the little girl can be found at Melonheadz Designs.

Day 6 - Using less supplies

The objective today was to use fewer supplies to create a clean and simple card.  I only have black and brown dye inks so far and therefore used Black Soot distress ink to create the background using a scrap piece of card stock to create the lines.

 

My goal was simple black and white with a hint of the pink sequins for a color pop.  The black square with white ink is backed with foam tape.  

Supplies used (besides basic paper):

• Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Black Soot
• White pigment ink squares from Tuesday Morning
• I Heart You stamp set by American Crafts
• Pink Sequins 
• Ad Tech permanent adhesive tape roller
