Fall Autumn Card

Hello all my crafty friends, I hope you are having a wonderful day.  Today, I want to share a quick card process video, of this adorable card I created, using the November Kit from Scrapbooking with M.E. Boutique.


The card measures 4 1/4" x 4 1/2", the background was cut using a piece of The Story of Fall, by Lori Whitlock, measuring 4" x 4 1/4".


I found the circle scallop in some scraps on my craft table.  I took some twine and wrapped it around a few times.  I then took a couple of the tags from the sticker sheet and backed them with some cardstock and fussy cut them out.  I added some twine I had in my stash to the tops of the tag and used them as charms.

I cut a strip of Cajun cardstock and stamped the sentiment using some brown ink.  I notched out one end and created a flag and added 3 small flowers that came in the kit.

Autumn Blessing Card

Hello all my crafty friends, I hope you all had  a wonderful weekend.  Today I want to share a super easy Fall Card  I created using the Bo Bunny Lovely Leaf Die that came in the November Kit over at Scrapbooking with M.E. Boutique.


The card base measures 4 ¼” by 4 ½” the background paper was cut using Orange Leaf from the paper collection measuring 4" x 4 1/4" .  I then cut one of each one of the leafs in some cardstock and a piece of the pattern paper that came in the kit.  Arranging the leafs in a cluster I added some twine and some orange flowers to finish off it off.


For the sentiment, I first  punched out a Label from a punch I had in my stash and then  stamped the sentiment with VersaMark and embossed using a midnight pewter. Then using some pop dots I applied the sentiment to the bottom of the card.

SPOOKY Altered Frame DT for SWMEB


Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by today. I want to share this adorable Spooky Frame I created using a wood frame I found in my stash.


I first covered the frame sides with some black acrylic paint.  After it dried, I covered the front of the frame in the After Dark Paper Collection, from Crate Paper, and adhered it with some gel medium.  I then covered the entire frame with a clear embossing powder, to give the frame a glossy look. In our Design Team Kit this month there was some glow in the dark embossing powder.  I took a embossing pen and colored in the circles with the embossing pen and applied some of the glow in the dark embossing powder.



I cut out the Rickey House, Candle Fright Spider and On the Fence Time Holtz Alterations Dies in chipboard and painted each one of them with black acrylic paint.  I took a dry paint brush and went over the house and fence with a dry brush, using white gesso.  I then applied a couple of coats of clear embossing powder, to give them a glossy look. I then applied them to the frame with some E6000 glue and hot glue, to arrange them on the frame.  I added some cute puffy stickers spelling out Spooky,

Altered Grungy Cigar Box


Hello everyone, hope you are having a wonderful day. I want to share with you, this altered cigar box tutorial I created, for Scrapbooking with M.E. Boutique with the June Kit. I used the Durable Paper Collection from Authentique.  Love the grunge look of this paper, makes it super easy to come up with some cool projects for that special guy in your life.


I began by painting the box with some Faded Jeans Distress Spray Stain and added a piece of the Authentique Durable Paper Collection on top of the box with some gel medium.  I really wanted the top of the box to have lot of layers. I then added some molding paste with some stencils.


The clip art of the antique cars are some I found on the internet for free and I printed them on some grunge paper and added  some of the Distress Crackle Paint in  Clear Rock Candy.  I am loving the cracked class look.


I added some recollection micro beads in copper, gold and silver and added some Lindy's Embossing Powder in the Kaiser Russet Red.


I hope you enjoy the tutorial, a couple of times I am out of frame and I am very sorry about that.

Father’s Day Watercolor Card


Hi everyone, today I would love to share with you a watercolor card I created, using some old stamps I have in my stash from Great Impressions for Father’s Day. I received some Tim Holtz Distress Markers for Christmas and had not yet, had a chance to really play with them,  so I thought why not try them out with some watercolor techniques.
 
I first stamped my images on some watercolor paper and began to color in the images using Tim Holtz Distress Markers. This is the first time I have colored with these markers. I began by applying a light coat of water where I wanted the color and in a circular motion began to spread the color with a watercolor paint brush. To get the darker colors for shadowing I just added more layers of the distress marker and blended it out.
 

For the background I applied Distress Inks in Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass to my mat and added some water. I then applies water with my brush to the background and picked up the color with my paint brush and applied to i got the desired color I was looking for.

I Love You Valentines Card





Hope everyone is having  a wonderful day. Today I want to share this cute Valentines Card I created. The card measures 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. To Create the background with embossed the white cardstock with a chicken wire Sizzix embossing folder. To achieve the color on the background, I added some Lindy’s Stamp Gang Flat Fabio T-Bird Turquoise and Pink Lady’s Pink with a brush directly to the paper until I got the color I was looking for. I cut out some of hearts from Tim Holtz mover and shapers hearts and the Heart Wings Bigz Die. I also used a heart from the ephemera pack of the Just Sayin’ Collection and arranged the hearts on the card so they were stacked.


I cut out 2 of the Flowering Branch from Die-Namites and colored them with a Faber-Castel Pistachio Gelato. I arranged 3 of the flowers I created in a triangle and added some of the vines and cut 2 flags out of the paper collection and stamped I Love you on the banner and inserted the banners into the cluster so it looks like it was part of the arrangement.

Love is in the Air Valentine Card


 

Hello everyone, it was a really wet weekend, so I decided to get in my studio and create a Valentines card. I created using one of the papers that had this image already on it from My Mind’s Eye Just Sayin’ Collection. I cut the image down so it would fit the card. I then cut out two 1” strips with a scalloped edge punch and inserted one under the center piece of paper at the top and one on the bottom.



For the cluster of flowers, I used some left over pieces of flowers I had from a previous project on my desk. The accents were cut out of the Flowering Branch and Bare Branch from Die-Namite dies and arranged them around the flowers. I added some bling to finish off the card.
