Shabby Chic 6 Pocket Card & Tags White Rose Crafts DT

Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts.

This month White Rose is starting something new for 2020, a mood board, and I was very inspired by a few of the colours in the board.   I choose to work with the light pinks and soft blues.  I used the gorgeous Yesterday paper by Lemoncraft for this project.

I was inspired to do this project from a YouTube video I watched by folding a 12 x 12 sheet of paper in such a way that you get 6 pockets in it and it opens up with spaces to place tags and envelopes.  I made them all out of the same paper from Lemoncraft.

I used some of the Tim Holtz Remnant Rubs from the WRC Shop on the front and also on the tags, the black text gave a good contrast to the soft pinks and whites. I also used some of the Recollections flowers on the front as well. A bit of lace from my stash and an altered key that I made finish off the front.

Inside you can see I kept it simple with more of the tags and envelopes tucked in the pockets. I added 2 doilies and 2 more of the Recollections flowers inside. You can see more of the Tim Holtz Remnant Rubs on the tags and envelopes.  I edged the whole card, all the tags and envelopes with some Tattered Rose Distress Oxide to give it more pink!

You can see here all the extras I made out of the paper that fit neatly inside this pocket card.  I am sending this off to a friend, and I may also tuck a bit of goodies inside the card as well for a little surprise, there is lots of room with all these pockets!

I hope you like my project today and have found some inspiration here.

Simple And Easy Cards For White Rose Crafts DT

Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts.

I wanted to make a couple of simple and easy cards this week to send off to some friends.

I used the Graphic 45 paper called Flutter from the WRC store for the cards. I used the 8 x 8 pad, and folded one of the pieces in half, cut one card at 5 x 5 and one 3 x 3 to get my two little cards.

I added some of the Tim Holtz Paper Dolls and Botanical ephemera from my stash and topped the cards off with some of the Tim Holtz Mirrored Stars to add some dimension and sparkle.

These cards were super easy to make, and not being much of a card maker myself, this was a quick and fun project.

I hope you will give this a try. Thanks for stopping by.

Mixed Media Card for White Rose Crafts

Good morning friends, Kim here today with my next DT Project for White Rose Crafts.  This time I have used lots of items from White Rose Crafts to create my card. This week White Rose Crafts is giving thanks from our family to yours with a free randomly selected Hunkydory Christmas Card Kit (RSP $3.99) with every order over $10 (before shipping charges are applied). No code needed.

I started off with the Tales of You and Me paintable paper from Prima for the background. This pad is currently out of stock in the store, but they do have the Salvage District Paintable pad which would work great instead!   I used some of the Distress Oxides in Vintage Photo, Tumbled Glass and Evergreen Bough and a water brush to create the watercolour background with the paper.

I also coloured my texture paste with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide and used a number stencil from my stash to give texture to the background.

I used a Tim Holtz Alpha stamp set I got from the White Rose Crafts Store and used some letters and numbers to add interest the the background.  I used all my left over pieces of paper that I cut off to make the background fit and tucked them behind my Tim Holtz paper dolls. I also added a doily and some embellishments from my stash to finish off the card.

A scripty Recollections Flower added some fun to the card!

As a finishing touch, I added some of the Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blend in Candy Cane to add more texture and sparkle.

I mounted my background on the Neenah Card and Envelope Set Parchment, it has a matching envelope as well, so it makes it easy for card making!

I hope you like my card and have found some inspiration here today!

How To Create A Scripty Resist With Stamps & Distress Oxides White Rose Crafts DT

Good morning friends, Kim here with my next design team project for White Rose Crafts.

This week you get 20% OFF everything in the Kelly Creates section of the store. There are some gorgeous stamps in stock and now is the time to take advantage of this great discount! Use the code: GET SCRIPTY at the check out.

I have made a clean and simple card and envelope set with the Neenah A2 heavy weight card and envelope packs in the White Rose shop as my base for my card.

Next, I got out my Kelly Creates Quotes 1 stamp set and used some VersaMark clear ink and stamped my sentiments all around the card stock and then embossed them while the ink was wet with Vintage Pearl embossing powder.

I got out my Distress Oxides in Tumbled Glass and Shaded Lilac and went over the embossed sentiments, blending both colours together until I was happy with the result.

I decided I wanted to add a little Evergreen Bough as well, so ...I did! The Oxides are so beautiful and blend so well, using this technique with the embossing powder creates a great resist for the Oxides.

I heat set the Oxides and then buffed the embossed script with a clean cloth to make the embossed words stand out.  I wanted to activate the Oxides so I got out some spray in a pearl white from my stash, and spritzed over the top of the card. You do not have to use a spray, water works great on the oxides as well.

You can see the droplets in the photo below, it really gives the card a fun effect.

Now it was time to play with the Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blend mix called Vixen. I added lots of sparkle to my card with them and used some Glossy Accents  to adhere them, which is available in the White Rose Store.

I really love this Sparkle blend mix, and the fun reindeer sequins!  I also stamped "Wish" and did the same resist technique on a small band for across the front of the card. I used the Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide for the background so it would stand out a bit from the background of the card.

I also decorated the envelope by blending the same colour of Oxides lightly around the edge and stamped the Wish sentiment from the Kelly Creates Quotes 1 stamp set, and finished it off with a few more pieces from the Vixen sparkle blend.

I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial today and have found some inspiration here!

ScraPerfect DT Announcement and Art Card Project

Hello friends! I am very excited to announce that I am one of the newest members of the ScraPerfect Team! I am so thrilled to be working with such a great company, and of course also with such talented designers as the ScraPerfect team!

 

 

So a little about me to introduce myself to you all, and then I will share a little project I created using the amazing items from ScraPerfect.

 

I have been a crafter for a long time, I love to create, share and help to inspire others. When I was a child I wanted to be an animator for Walt Disney, but alas that was not meant to be, so I have found my own way to make the world a little more colourful. 

 I also love to make cards, ATC's, altered projects. mixed media canvas', and really dabble in most things creative. I also have a great love for art journaling! I am a trained floral designer as well, and owned my own flower shop for many years. 

I am a Mom to 4 gorgeous grown up kids and 3 amazing grandchildren. I can usually be found getting my hands messy in my art studio along side my trusty companion Miss Blue the cat, and of course my wonderful husband Doug.

 

Ok, now on to a quick project!

I created this Art Card to send to a friend, and it was the perfect opportunity to use some of the great items from ScraPerfect!

 

 

I got out The Best Glue Ever and went over the hair and the flowers on the fairy's wings with the glue. You have to wait until the glue has dried clear, to have it work with the Foil, that was the hard part, the waiting...I am an inpatient crafter lol.

 

 

Once the glue was dry, it was time for the foil. I used the Crimson Rain on the wings, and the Turquoise Rain on her hair.

All you have to do is lightly rub the foil over the places where you put the glue, and Voila! you have a very easy and cool foil accent for your project.

 

Once I was finished with the foil, I wanted to add some embellishments to the card. This was the perfect opportunity to use the Embellie Gellie. This stuff is very cool and so easy to use. You just put a little bit of the gellie on the end of the stick and place it where you want your embellishment. I used some very tiny blingy crystals, and it worked perfectly for this.

 



 

Here is a look at the card with the bling and the foil technique. She will be "winging" her way to a dear friend soon.

Stamping Fun and Cardmaking with Joggles Design Team

Good morning Joggles fans! I am very excited to share this months project with you. This month I am featuring stamps from Joggles. I am an avid stamper, and these stamps are just amazing, and stamp very clear and sharp images. I have made a couple of cards so lets get started!

On to the cards now! First is a fun card with The Bird Ernest Stamp. I love this little guy, he is so friendly looking. I used my black StazOn Ink to stamp him then I got out my Twinkling H20's and gave him a water colour look.

 

 

 

 

I used a fine brush for his beak and little feet, and used the Sunflower colour to make them a lovely sparkly yellow tone.

 

 

For his body, I did a mixture of two colours. Don't be afraid to mix colours when working with water colours, they will blend nicely with the water, just have fun and play! I used the Guatamalan and Lime tones for this body and the Wisteria for his chest.

 

Once little Ernest was dry, I cut him out of the cardstock and set him aside to dry. Now it was time to get my back ground done. I chose some lighter tones of inks to stamp the background, using the Tropical Re-Leaf stamp from Joggles. I really love this stamp, its very airy and ethereal looking.

 

I used various soft colours, in pink, pale blue, and yellow, and matched the background cardstock to the yellow ink.

 

I also cut a band in the yellow, and used the Message in a Bubble Believe stamp on top of it. Next, it was time to get Earnest out and add some dimensional tape to the back of him so he stands out on the card.

 

For some final touches I added some gems from my stash....

 

 

.....and some fun ribbon, twine bow and flowers to finish the card off.

 

Here is the finished card. I love how it turned out!

 

I also created a second card using lots of Joggles stamps. I started this one off by using some Distress Inks in Abandoned Coral and Spiced Marmalade.  I cut out a circle for the moon, and added some glue dots to stick it down temporarily. I used the inks all over the card until I was happy with the colour, then used my stamps to create a scene on top.

 

 

I used some Crushed Pineapple stickles for some glitter, and coloured the moon yellow with my alcohol markers. For a final touch, I added some white dots to the house, flowers and leaves and a bit of twine and a metal key.

 

Its so fun to play around with Joggles Stamps, let your imagination be your guide!

I hope you have enjoyed my cards today and please check out all the great items Joggles has in stock!

Laura's Loft DT Casual Friday New Releases!!

 

 Hello friends, Kim here today and I am excited to share my Card featuring Casual CAS-ual Fridays Stamps​ and Dies. We are celebrating Valentines Day and CAS-ual Fridays new releases today over at Laura's Loft ! For this card I used the Curtis back ground Stamp and the Tag Buddies Dies.

Using some Hero Arts Shadow in the mid tone colour range. I used a pretty bubble gum pink on some pink card stock to give a tone on tone effect to the background.

 

Once I had let the ink dry I used some dimensional foam tape to pop the card up and give it some height. Now its time for some die cutting!

For the first layer I used the largest die from the set and some white vellum paper so that you could see the background through the vellum. 

 

I then used some of My Favorite Things paper and the next size of the die, keeping it all with in the pink tones for Valentines Day. I used some multi matte medium to tack it down on the cardstock.

Once the card was assembled, it was time to get out some of my favorite embossing powder. I used the Ho Ho Ho, Wow! Embossing Powder for the wooden heart in the centre.  It really added a lot of sparkle. Laura has a huge selection of Wow Embossing Powders in her shop you can check them all out HERE

 I also used the Hopes Desire Sequin Pack, and added some of the sequins and doves from the pack to add interest to the card.

I added a final touch of a metal number plate from Tim Holtz and some bakers twine and that finished up the card!

Thanks so much for taking a look at my project today. Don't forget to check out all the great items in the Laura's Loft Store and Blog
