Summer Fun ATC's for Gina's Designs Lasercuts

Hi friends, today I have some fun summer ATC's to share with you.  Gina custom cut me some ATC blanks, and I was totally inspired by summer when I created these.

I love the fun and colour palette of the summer! I wanted to share a little tutorial with you for this first ATC I will show you below here. I created a fun background for this ATC using the Cardstock Doily Intricates.

I started off with one of the chipboard blanks and a watercolour blank. I got out some of Gina's Cardstock doilies next, and decided to use the doilies as a stencil this time. I used some of my favorite sprays in blues and teals and white. I love these doilies, they are so versatile!

 I started off with a darker colour first then layered on some of the lighter ones, moving the doily and changing up which one I used (cuz you get lots of different ones in the package!). 

 Lastly, I used some white distress spray as the last spray to add more contrast. These doilies are so useful for stencilling and now that I have them coloured from the sprays they are ready to use on another project later

Here is my finished background. 

After the background was done I used my dragonfly stamp from Prima and embossed it with white embossing powder and used some blue ink to stamp the body of the dragonfly. I then used some Silks Acrylic Glazes on the chipboard dragonfly and added my sentiment to complete the ATC.

For the next ATC, I used the  String Along Shape Set Shells for this piece and cut it apart to make the bubbles.  I used some sticky back canvas for the background piece and played with my watercolours to make some bubbles in the background.

Once I was happy with the watercolour, I added some highlights with my white sharpie pen. For the corners of the ATC, I used some nail art, crushed shells to add texture.

For the next ATC I used the Beach Shape Set. I used my Twinkling H20's to give a "beachy" type background.

 One of my favorite things to do, is to walk along the beach collecting shells and stones for my collection, so that was my inspiration for this ATC.

I embossed the chipboard with some gold embossing powder then when that was heated up I sprinkled some Aged Ivory embossing powder from Stampendous on them. I love the texture and dimension that playing around with embossing powder gives to the chipboard pieces.

Lastly, I used some glitter and mica flakes which I adhered down with some clear glue and a little jute bow to top off the sand dollar.

I hope you have enjoyed my post today, check out all these great items in Gina's Store.

Snow Angel Layout for Gina's Designs Lasercuts, Featuring Papers from The Robin's Nest

Hello friends! Today I am sharing my layout with you which features the lovely papers and cut outs from The Robin's Nest.  This is our third year working with the team over there and we were super happy to be able to create with this fun set of paper designs.
I chose to do a layout this time as I just loved this Snow Angel Paper!  Gina's garden fairies, snowflakes, and pine tree shape set went really well and kept with in the theme I was going for.

I layered on lots of lovely venise trim and flowers from Kraftsupplies4U, and then tucked in some of the snowflake cut outs we got with our Robin's Nest Papers.

I heat embossed the Fairies with some white and gold powder and then touched up their wings with some silver and gold Silk Acrylic Glazes.  The snowflakes were also heat embossed and then I added some fun Prima Bling to the center of each.

 The pine trees were a lot of fun to make, I used more of the Silks Acrylic Glazes on them in some blue and green tones and then topped them off with some Snow Tex to give a wintery feel.  The lovely lady in the photo above I thought went perfectly with the snow angel theme and I surrounded her with some rosette trim and snowflakes.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my layout!  I had lots of fun creating with The Robin's Nest Papers, you can check out their site HERE for more information.

A Very "Meowy" Christmas! Rubbermoon Stamps DT Project

Hello friends, Kim here today, I would like to share some fun Christmas themed cards I have created using Rubbermoon Stamps and some fun products from Imagine Crafts.

First up is my very "meowy" Christmas card. I love the whimsy with this card and the "Impurrfect" kitty cat stamp I used as a focal point.

 

 

I love the whimsy with this card and the "Impurrfect" kitty cat stamp I used as a focal point. Behind the kitty I used a scroll frame from Gina's Designs, and painted it a soft ivory color, then stamped the "stardust" in the background behind the cat.  I used some Imagine Crafts gold embossing powder to give a lovely shimmery look to the frame.

 

 

Behind the card I spritzed some of the Imagine Crafts Shimmer Spritz in gold and sparkle tones. Then used the Dots and Circles Stamp with some silver Delicata Ink from Imagine Crafts to create a fun background on the card.

 

 

Finally I added some metal snowflakes to each of the corners of the frame to finish it off

.

Here are some of the fun products I used from Imagine Crafts, I just adore their items and they really made my cards sparkle!

 

 

For this next card I used the 3 Snowman Stamp in the center, and colored them in with some copics to give some Christmas tones to the card.

 

 

For the background I used some of the Gina's Designs cardstock doilies. I laid them on my card and then used some of the  Fire works sprays from Imagine Crafts in Bahama Blue and Paris Dusk. I love the tones it gave, I really wanted to give the image of a wintery background.

 

 

I love the effect the sprays and doilies give, they really look like snowflakes!

 



 

 

After the sprays had dried I then used the Box O'Flakes Stamp and some silver embossing powder on top to add to the background. I really wanted a nice shimmer to the card, I also layered more of the Shimmer Spritz Spray on top as well.

 

I used some of the Art Squares precision cut matboard to layer on top of the background and used some of the Irresistible Pico Embellisher to draw snowflakes and dots on it. I then used more of the Fireworks sprays to complete the background look on the matboard.

 

 

I used some lace from my stash and a few more metal snowflakes and pearls, then popped the snowmen up with some foam tape.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at my whimsical cards today, thanks for taking a peek and have yourself a very "meowy" Christmas!
