Sending Love Card using SSS Elizabeth Background Stamp

Welcome Back!

Today I have a card I made by pure accident.

I was using Distress Oxides to make that Panda Shadowbox card and I had a bunch of ink still on my mat and I just didn't want to waste it. 

I took a piece of white card stock and smooshed throughout all the colors. 

Distress Oxides used:

Wilted Violet

Seedless Preserves

Dusty Concord

Shaded Lilac

Crushed Olive 

Squeezed Lemonade 

I then used  Ranger Silver Embossing Powder to heat emboss the SSS Elizabeth background. 

I cut the vellum circle from the SSS Stitched Circle Die. 

The love die cut is the SSS LOVE Wafer Die cut from some random lilac and grey card stock.

I then heat embossed the rest of the sentiment with the same embossing powder and the SSS All My Love Stamp Set

I used the same background stamp to the inside of the card and on the envelope. 

 

I love how it came out and really showed me to not just toss out what I think I may not need because beautiful things can come out of it.

Thank you again for checking this card out and I will see you next time!

Alcohol Ink Anniversary Card using SSS Love Die

Happy Monday!

Today is the 9 year Anniversary with my hubby and 

I wanted to share the card I made for him. 

Anniversaries are all about love but I didn't want it all red and pinks. 

His favorite color is blue so I made a fun Alcohol Inked background using blues and a tad green. 

I used:

Denim

Sailboat Blue 

Patina

I then used the Alcohol Ink Lift  to stamp the words  form the SSS All My Love, You Matter and You+ Me stamp sets. 

I used the Gun Metal Mixative to add some interest and tie in his appreciation for guns. 

I had a prior attempt that didn't work out but I was able to use it as a "palette" so I can stamp the inside sentiment. 

Do ya'll remember that cheesy song form like early 2000's of U+Me= Us (Calculus)?

He will sing that randomly to me in a mocking boy band way 

and this sentiment made me think of that .

I then used the SSS Love Wafer Die in Vellum and Black for the sentiment. 

Thank you for coming by to check out this special card and I will see you next time!

Sending you Love card using Framed 3D Embossing Image Technique

Hey!

I watched Jennifer McGuire's video of Creative Uses of Embossing Folders 

and I just had to get into my craft room to make one. 

I had gotten the Tim Holtz Botanical 3D embossing folder in the SSS card kit

 and I fell in love with it. 

Her card used the My Favorite Things Linked Octagon Frame Dies which I do not have. 

Instead I went to my Silhouette Studio Software and created my version of it. 

It is not perfect but it works and SSS was sold out and I have zero patience to wait. lol

I cut out 4 of the images and stacked them to give dimension. 

I traced the inside with white paper, inked it up with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide and then ran it through with the embossing folder.  I then buffed some Perfect Pearls onto it to make it shimmer. 

I attached the embossed piece and frame onto a background also inked with the Peacock Feathers that was distressed with water splatter. 

I used the SSS Love Wafer Die on the same gray card stock as the frame and base and some vellum as the shadow. 

The "sending you" is  from the SSS All About Love Stamp Set.

Thank you so much for checking out my creation and I hope to see you next time!

Distress Oxide Water Painting with W Plus 9 Beatiful Bouquets: Dahlias

Hello!

 Today I have a Mothers Day card I made using a technique from  Jennifer McGuire and the floral and color inspiration from  Gina K. 

I just loved the colors and placement Gina used in that video and had to use Jennifers technique with the Oxides to color it.

I used the W plus 9 Beautiful Bouquets: Dahlias to stamp the images with Vesamark and heat emboss with white embossing powder. 

I ink blended the images and background with Lucky Clover, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks. 

I  went over the flowers and leaves with clear water and dabbed up with a paper towel to get a lighter look. I dried the piece and added just a tad more green to the leaves while still applying and dabbing. 

The sentiment on outside comes from the SSS All My Love set and heat embossed onto some vellum. 

I added some sequins to give some shine and also placed a tad bit of glitter glue to the centers to add some extra sparkle and make a bit stronger to go through the mail. 

The inner sentiment is using the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy stamp set. I used the same flower to stamp inside using the Peacock Feathers Ink. 

Thank you so much for coming by and I will see you next time!

Another Plaid Valentine's using the My Favorite Things Plaid Background Builder Stamp Set

Happy Monday!
I hope you had a great Weekend!

Today I have to show you the second of the three plaid Valentine's cards using the My Favorite Things Plaid Background Builder Stamp Set 

This time I went with a actual pattern and I only used the solid stamps in the set. 

Since I am newer with stamping I am limited on my colors in the Memento Dew Drops but I have the entire collection of the Distress Inks. I knew the Distress Inks would be a bit splotchy but I was ok with that.  I used Distress Inks in Spun Sugar, Dried Marigold and Carved Pumpkin and then 

used Stampabilities in Dark Pink. 

I also added some water droplets to it to add to the distressed look.  I cut it down using the stitched rectangle die in the Die-namics Blueprints 13.

I again used the Simon Says Stamp All My Love Stamp set for the sentiment, I stamped in Versafine and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

I also water colored the hearts using Distress Ink in black soot with the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush pen.  I just love how the black mat and lettering backs the background look so bright . 

I have one more plaid card to show you and hopefully you are not sick of them!

Have a great day!

Valentines Plaid Using the MFT Plaid Background Builder Stamp Set

Hi, I'm Cher and I am addicted to stamping plaid.

I got the My Favorite Things Plaid Background Builder Stamp Set and
 all I want to do is make everything plaid!

This is the first of 3 plaid Valentine's cards that I have made.

I used four different reds and pinks for the stamping: Stampabilities in Dark Pink and Bubblegum Pink and Memento Dew Drops in Lady Bug and Lilac Posies. 

Ok so I have to admit to something else. When I did my last MFT order I thought I ordered the scalloped rectangle dies and not the Die-namics Stitched Rectangle Scallop Edge Frames.  Yeah I could have returned it but... I knew that wasn't gonna happen so I just pieced it all back together and I am just gonna lie to myself that it is one full piece.

I also used the MFT Stitched Sentiment Die to add the sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp All my Love stamp set onto.

I stamped the large Love from the same SSS set in Versafine ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder and of course I had to add a few sequins.




Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day everyone!!
